For years, Western analysts at all points on the political spectrum have used the qualifier “radical” when speaking about jihadis (“radical Islamists”) and their motivating ideology (“radical Islam” or “radical extremism”). The point was to preserve the fiction that Islam is a religion of peace that doesn’t teach violence against unbelievers, and that the “radicals” were twisting and misusing its teachings.

And now, in Britain’s far-Left Guardian, Ali Nobil Ahmad wants non-Muslims to accept the idea of “radical Muslims” as a good thing. He says he isn’t referring to jihad terrorists, but if his words are heeded, the effect will be greater complacency regarding jihadis, and even more hesitancy among British authorities to do anything about the problem they present. Britain will become even more prostrate before the advancing jihad than it already is.

Did the Guardian publish Nazi propaganda in 1942?
