Ok so why is radical islam say they are justified by Allah and the Koran to do what they do?

TI, some questions: Can you make the distinction between radical fundamentalism in a religion and the majority of its adherents? And if so, can you explain the differences between those two groups in Islam? Can you name analogous radical groups within other religions? Lastly, can you explain to me how treating all adherents of a religion the same, regardless of actions or sect, might be damaging to progress?

Funny people bash Christianity to the point of no return, but mention anything against Islam and everyone gets riled up. I find that hilarious.

Don't make stupid arguments that aren't based in reality. I'd call you naive to the point of insulting prejudice if you made a dumb thread like this about any religion, not just Islam. Now answer my questions.
Anyway, Batman called. He wants a word with you:

Then talk to him. If he's a spammer, you're unlikely to get straight answers "approaching" him like this. How many people respond to "Your ideas are sh*tty. Explain them."?? Which is all this thread is.
Also, though you're ignoring my questions, the fact that you're invoking extremism suggests you do know the differences I asked about. You're just doing a sh*t job of showing it. Be smarter than this; I'd venture to say that, intellectually, you know you're painting with too broad a brush. Reflect that in your questioning.

Digi are you Muslim?

Then I have nothing to discuss with you. You must always be right and just try to keyboard domineer every conversation we ever had, doesn't work.
While I think the OP wasn't done correctly, I also can understand someone getting an embed idea based on a personal experience.
If TI didn't have good experiences with muslims it is expected that he might think in certain way.
Personally I have great experiences with muslims when we socialize doing business, but that is a complete different setting than interaction with muslims on a war scenario.
So it is understood that he has a point of view that might not be great especially taking into account that he did this interaction in a hostile environment, while We have done it in a friendly environment

Because Extremist factions within already war torn regions somehow are representative of every muslim all around the world, or even a majority.
I know full well some crazy stuff is in their holy book, but let's be real only an idiot looks at Isis and says that is how every one is and that is what every muslim is planning.
Answer my questions. Even one of them. Then I'll answer yours. That, again, you already know the answer to, so why ask it? Right, so you can, what, invalidate my opinion because I'm not a Muslim? There's a logical fallacy in there somewhere, though I forget the name.
At least answer Batman. I'm a nice guy, but clearly anyone who puts on a Bat suit and becomes a vigilante has a few screws loose. I don't want to see you hurt.

I agree, but this has been going on long before ISIS.
