Is Trump "radical" enough...?
Jihad Watch reported Trump's U.N. speech, in which he actually remembered (after a long McMastered amnesia) the problem facing not only America, but the world -- "radical Islamic terrorism".
Only one Jihad Watch regular (one "PRCS") makes it a point to criticize any such instance of softening the problem by adding suffixes ("-ism") or, as in this case, qualifiers like "radical". I fully agree with PRCS; however, knowing his commenting output on Jihad Watch rather well, I find it ironic that his vision would be so clear on this one important point, but blurry on other equally important points -- such as that 1) we are at war with Islam even though we don't realize it; and 2) all Muslims concretize and enable the problem of Islam.
At any rate, let us read a little exchange in that Trump thread:

No Muslim on the planet follows or practices “radical” Islam, as there’s no such thing. They practice Islam. I do hope that at some point–soon–our leaders will have the courage to just tell the truth. Do they really believe our Muslim allies are “the good Muslims” and that so-called extremists are “perverting the faith”? I know what DJT says about Islam is a vast improvement over BHO’s nonsense, but c’mon–can anyone on his staff explain the difference between “radical Islamic terrorism” and the regular version?

Unfortunately PRCS, Trump already gets slandered in the news media just for adding ‘radical’. I guess I won’t need to add (extreme left ) at JW when describing the news media because that is a given.
Reply PRCS says September 19, 2017 at 2:16 pm He’s slandered for many things. But you and I know the terms “radical” Islam and “radical” Islamic terrorism are nonsense terms which whitewash the real deal. The Muslims who flew planes into the World Trade Center towers weren’t practicing “radical” Islam and the public needs to be told the unvarnished truth. Soon.

PRCS, I much prefer people who pull no punches and just say that Islam is barbaric, violent and evil (all of it, not just “radical” Islam). But I wonder if political leaders have to take into consideration that saying that “politics is the art of the possible”. That is they can’t just say things that are too blunt (even if truthful) and which won’t carry the vast number of people with them. They can’t be too far ahead of public opinion. Maybe they have to gradually get to the point of telling the whole truth. I have the feeling Trump loathes Islam, all of it, just as much as most of us who comment at Jihad Watch. Nevertheless, I certainly much prefer the people who are blunt and completely truthful about Islam’s fundamentally evil nature. People such as Robert Spencer and John Quincy Adams in the past, and lots of others.

tim, I agree to this extent, my friend. It’s been 16 years since Muslims flew planes into the World Trade Center towers. And 30,000 or so attacks have been carried out by violent jihadists around the world since. IMO, our “leaders” have been getting to the point of telling the whole truth way too gradually.

It's that last part I bolded that is the crux, indicating that PRCS (anymore than most Counter-Jihad Mainstream Civilians) doesn't get that the main reason the broader Western Mainstream -- including mavericks like Trump -- is slow in waking up is because the majority of the Ordinary People all around them are more or less equally slow, because nearly every damn body in the West is in thrall to PC MC. Our leaders will be able to speed up their learning curve immensely if at least a critical mass of the people they represent wake up.
How to get that to happen, is the rub.
