"I'll have a Radicalized Espresso, please..."

In a notice about two Muslims in Texas who joined ISIS, Robert Spencer writes:

Arman and Omar Ali, Muslim brothers from Texas who became devout in their observance of Islam and then joined the Islamic State (ISIS).

First of all, Spencer can't know whether or not they "became devout" without having a mind-reading machine.  Or does he assume, after the jihadi-fact, that they must be devout?  Our whole quandary with regard to Islam is that we need to determine before Muslims explode that they are "devout".  Or better yet, just use rational prejudice to assume they are already, by the mere fact that they self-identify as Muslims.  He's inferring that from the fact that they joined ISIS.  This implies a cluster of things: that Islam leads to (or better yet, is) dangerous fanaticism, since increased devoutness to it leads to joining ISIS; and that increased devoutness is, apparently, functioning as Spencer's back door to the Radicalization Meme.

The Radicalization Meme, in turn, implies that Muslims who are not "radicalized" are not of concern, or should be of less concern, than the "jihadis".  This in turn implies that not all Muslims are "jihadis" (perhaps even most are not) -- which in turn implies that "jihad" is only violent.  What happened to the Stealth Jihad which in the old days Spencer used to mention every other time he mentioned "jihad"?

Our first inference -- that Islam leads to (or better yet, is) dangerous fanaticism -- would set up a paradox for Spencer's perpetually elliptical rhetoric about the problem of Islam -- since not only would he have to disavow his statement that he is "not anti-Islam", it would also imply that all Muslims are already "radical" (with their apparent diversity explained through our knowledge of taqiyya and of the diversity of flavors of jihad).

The Civilians of the Counter-Jihad will likely never get any straight talk from Spencer on these important questions, since the Civilians don't seem to care to ask them of him.
