@Sir Shaggeh:
Firstly, Islam is incapable of reforming. It is considered the last and perfect word of God, and Muhammad was said to have lived a perfect life. It is a totally uncompromising ideology. It proselytizes and promotes conquest. Nawaz himself receives death threats as do reformers like Tawhidi. Imam Tawhidi himself has said that Islam is incapable of reforming because the Quran is "untouchable." The Hadith likewise.
Secondly, those you are calling "radicals" are actually fundamentalists. They are simply taking a literal interpretation of Islamic scripture and implementing its decrees that are written very plainly. The real radicals are those that are trying to reform Islam, because they are the ones going against the grain. A radical is synonymous with a reformist. By painting Islamic fundamentalists as "radical," you are indirectly making fundamental Islam seem like a peaceful religion, when in fact it is one of the most oppressive and totalitarian ideologies in the world. Nawaz knows this, as does Tawhidi. They might want to reform it, but they also serve as a distracting force, or a Trojan Horse or sorts. They give us the impression that some Muslims are reasonable while promoting the mass importation of their fellow Muslims, the vast majority are which are completely toxic and incompatible with Western secularism.
