Only in the sense that there was no such thing as Westernized Islam until the past 100 years, and that comparatively Islam that follows the actual Text of the Koran, and that has been operating as such since the beginning of Muhammads warfares, is Radical when juxtaposed to Westernized Islam of America or until very recently Europe.
Islam has been waging wars non stop since its inception, to deny this is to deny Historical Facts period. There is a book called the Encyclopedia of War and its results concerning Islam are very telling:
You can read it here if you want:

But a synopsis is:
In other words in 5000 years there are only 123 wars that were religious in nature, and of those 123, 66 or 53% of them were waged by Islam. 66 in the past 1400 yrs vs 57 in 5000 yrs for ALL OTHER RELIGIONS IN HUMAN EXISTENCE. So please dont tell me that war being waged in Islam is new, its not, it is literally how Islam spread, and this isnt even counting the innumerable terrorist attacks.
Now I do agree that those in power have definitely help to fund and establish these radicals, and help them to carry out Terror Attacks, but that doesnt mean that there isnt a massive amount of people who are Muslims that are for this type of "Radical" Islam, aka the actually way the Koran calls for Islam to be followed and carried out.
Here is a video that demonstrates that even if a "Tiny Percentage" of Muslims support ISIS or the acts performed by ISIS or even Sharia Law its actually Millions upon Millions upon Millions of people. Then the video demonstrates how this "Tiny Percentage" of Radicalized Muslims actually equates to huge portions of the Worlds Muslims accept or supporting the violence caused in the name of Islam:
To sum up the Video we see, we arent talking about people who are active terrorists, radical beliefs are alot broader than terrorists, however terrorist draw there support from those who are sympathetic to their beliefs. So we know that Islam has about 1.6 billion adherents, and we see that Indonesia has the largest population of Muslims in it 205 million Muslims living there. According to Pew Research poll from 2009 almost 50% supported strict Sharia Law not only in Indonesia but elsewhere as well, that would be 143 million people who are Radicalized. Egypt 80 million Muslims, 65% support strict Sharia Law thats 55 million Radicalized Egyptians, Pakistan has 179 million Muslims, 76% want strict Sharia Law thats another 135 million Radicalized Muslims. Bangladesh 149 million Muslims, 80% or 129 million, Nigeria, 75 million Muslims, 71% or 53 million, Iran 78 million Muslims, 83% or 62 million, Turkey 75 million Muslims, 32% or 23 million, Marco 32 million Muslims 75% or 25 million, Iraq 31 million Muslims, 78% or 24 million Muslims, Afghanistan 24 million Muslims, 99% or 24 million, Jordan 6 million Muslims, 60% or 4 million, Palestine 89% or 4 million, France 5 million Muslims, 35% or 1.6 million, Great Britain, 3 million Muslims, 78% or 2 million, United States, 2.6 million Muslims, 19% or 500,000.
So the totals of what we went thru are 680 million out of a total population of these countries of 942 million are Radicalized, and by Radicalize that means supporting of strict Sharia Law, justifying terror attacks, support honor killings, and other Radical Ideologies that are inclusive of Islam. So while there may be a small % of actual terrorists say 1-2% which still equates to 16-32 MILLION Terrorists actually performing acts of Islamic Terrorism there is a huge massive % up to a MAJORITY of the Worlds Muslims that are Radicalized, as in support strict Sharia Law, terrorist attacks, honor killings and the like. That is 100's of millions of people that support a form of Islam that is violent and absolutely intolerant and incapable of integration with the West.
While I am fully aware of the manipulation of the American and Israeli governments in the Middle East to finance these Radical Muslims please do not try and tell me or anyone else that this is some new never before seen movement in Islam or that there arent millions upon millions upon millions upon millions of supporters for this Radicalized and Violent type of Islam. This is exactly what Islam has always been, and will continue to be, until either Jesus comes back and ends the world, or Islam take the world over...
