You also have to remember that other religions only seem "radical" or "terrorist" to you because you were instilled with a moral and ethical system based on the Christian religion. If you were raised a fundamentalist and devout Muslim in the Middle East, it would be the Christian religion that was "radical" and "terrorist". It's all relative.
And as for the 'killing of innocent people with insane violence' that you mention in your original post, christians have a fair share of blood on their hands as well. Crusades for one, as well as the abortion clinic bombings more recently. Also, the invasion of Canaan by the Israelites as described in the Bible refers to entire cities being razed, including the women and children inside being killed. ALL of them. That seems pretty insane to me. But hey, as long as it's for the christian God, right?

"The religion of the invisible pink unicorn is based both on faith and logic...through faith we know that the unicorn is pink, while logic tells us it is invisible."
