I don’t know, the Japanese were pretty savage at one time.
...and we had to kill literally millions of them - military and civilian alike, and resort to nuclear weapons to make them understand that they were beaten and had no choice but to change their ways or become extinct.
Islam, radical or otherwise, has no such threat hanging over their heads so they will keep fighting and expanding their influence until we The West re-develop the stomach to truly do what needs to be done. Whether or not we can set aside our bread and circuses long enough to prevent our own extinction as a culture is an open question.
“I don’t know, the Japanese were pretty savage at one time.”
This is true...but it took a couple of mushroom clouds over their cities before they finally “saw the light” so to speak.
No. The Japanese were exquisitely cultured and genteel. They were our best friends in the region. They came under the spell of some slick-talking charlatans who convinced them it was a religious duty to conquer Asia. Admiral Raymond Spruance, as acting Military Governor of Japan, said that "there are enough brutes in any society, and enough of the brute in each of us" for events like what happened to take place.
