Not sure I follow you on the "no difference between "radical islam" and islam". With all the main religions we currently have and have had, the issue of the message(s) is very often a matter of interpretation, which then spurs various actions which might be radical such as killings, suicide bombings, other related violence or if we go back in history e.g. Witch Burnings. Is that not what defines radicalism, when persons or groups of persons make actions that is to be considered Radical by the general morale of the current society.
I guess one would not be labeled radical because of being e.g a Republican, but if one is a member of and active KKK fraction and a Republican, then the definition could be somewhere around the "Being a Radical Republican or Radical Rightwing. In the same way if you have a Muslim that lives a normal life and does not make radical actions against others, then he or she can not be called a "radical muslim" contrary to the Muslim that picks up a suicide belt or plants a roadside bomb etc.
Most persons that end up taking part in radical behaviour either have severe personality issues or they have a dramatic history that lead them into this - Revenge would be just one example factor, perhaps coming from desperation of loosing persons you love. A few might be born into a social group that lives by a radical order and therefore might never have learned or experienced anything else. Last there are always men who just like to see the world burn.
I can not see how "Radical Islam" and "Islam" can be considered the same, it would be like saying that all "Christians" are "Fanatic Christians Willing to kill in the name of Good".
There is also Football Fans and there radical Hooligans - They do not share the same view on how to celebrate the game.
