It apparently became so embarrassing for the democrats to continue joining Barak Hussein Obama in his denial of terrorism having anything to do with Islam, that the democrat candidates would seem to have been given a new new set of talking points, since they were all uniformly using the term "radical jihadis", perhaps so as not to continue to appear to be in such abject ignorance to present day reality. They are well aware that pretending terrorism has nothing to do with Islam (remember one of
Hillary's closest confidants, Huma Abedin comes from a Muslim Brotherhood background (and as I just this moment learned had access to Hillary's secret server)) is an absolute guaranteed looser with an evermore awakening American public, that isn't as stupid or uninformed as Hillary and her crew wish.
But is "radical" an appropriate term for Muhammad's orthodox followers that do what they can to follow Muhammad's example and what he commanded of them through the Quran and Hadith?

I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off themSurah 9.111
Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an:.....

Chapter 2.
The best among the people is that believer who strives his utmost in Allah's Cause with both his life and property.footnotes:

"Al-Jihad (the holy fighting) in Allah's Cause (with full force of number and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars (on which it stands). By Jihad Islam is established, Allah's Word is made superior, [His Word being La ilaha ill-Allah (which means: none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)] and His Religion (Islam) is propagated. By abandoning Jihad (may Allah protect us from that) Islam is destroyed and the Muslims fall into an inferior position; there honour is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape from this duty, or does not in his innermost heart wish to fulfill this duty, dies with one of the qualities of a hypocrite.
[2] Of course, nobody can offer Salat (prayer) and observe Saum (fast) incessantly, and since the Muslim fighter is rewarded as if he was doing such good impossible deeds, no possible deed equals Jihad in reward.Surah 2.216
fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.Surah 9.29
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. 30 The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/jihad_islamic_terrorism.htm#muslim_hypocritesIslamic Jihadis - that is, orthodox Muslims engaged terrorizing, fighting and slaying even specifically God's people, as so undeniably and conspicuously guided by Satan - are no more "radical" than Christians that love God with all our hearts, souls, minds and strength, and love our neighbors as ourselves, as we are commanded to by Jesus Christ through the Gospel.http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/jesus_or_muhammad.htm#muhammads_crueltyMark 12:29
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment. 31 And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
