A glaring problem/hypocrisy with the terms "radical", "radicalized", and "extremist" applied to Islam is that it is never attached to Judaism by Western authors including Gen.Dynamics. The following well proves one of the hundreds (or more) of Judaism's "radical" teachings:
Judaism’s Talmud, Soferim 15, Rule 10. This is the saying of Rabbi Simon ben Yohai: Tob shebe goyyim harog (“Even the best of the gentiles should all be killed”). From the original Hebrew of the Babylonian Talmud as quoted by the 1097 Jewish Encyclopedia, published by Funk and Wagnalls and compiled by Isidore Singer, under the entry, “Gentile” (p. 617). Some translations conceal this Talmud passage. The Jewish Encyclopedia states, “…in the various versions the reading has been altered, ‘The best among the Egyptians’ being generally substituted.” In the Soncino version: “the best of the heathens” (minor Tractates, Soferim 41a-b)*
