Radical, by definition, = extremism = where the mad souls are

Even KKK at its height was to some an extreme of religion, or culture.  It was bad, is bad.   If Omar had worn a hood during the shooting, or had a confederate flag around him, we would be attacking what we feel was his strong ties (kkk or southern, respectively).  Since he took the time to call 911 and claim allegiance to a radical islam group, and had indicated strong ties to the same previously, I think it is OK for us to look at, consider, and figure how we can protect ourselves from his strong ties.  And I think those ties are more dangerous than a confederate flag.

That position is not a "All Muslims are bad" position.
