Actually, your position--

The suicide bombers are not radicals they did not hijack the religion. They just follow the messages in the Koran and Hadiths,for the prospect of an eternal reward.

--is not quite true. While following the Qu'ran and the Hadiths will lead a Muslim to wage war against non-Muslims without making distinctions between combatants and non-combatants, it will not lead to suicide bombing. There are Qu'ranic prohibitions on suicide, which until the 1960's were taken as absolute. To be a sheehad the infidel had to kill you. The one "hijacking" of Islam that ever took place was the introduction of the existentialist idea of "absolute commitment" into Qu'ranic commentary by Saayed Qutb, the intellectual forebearer of the Muslim Brotherhood, who introduced the idea that killing oneself in jihad showed absolute commitment to Allah, and thus was not suicide.

Islam was bad enough as 'revealed' by its false prophet and as it developed with the rejection of Averroes' and Avecinna's introduction of Aristotelian rationalism, but got worse through contact with the European 'post-Christian' philosophical left.

I disagree.

It will lead to suicide bombing obviously. It has lead to many hundreds of suicide bombings. Certainly not all Muslims fighting us Infidels will commit suicide but some will. - tom
