I think the differention between moderate and radical Islam is whether you provide the money or set out the IEDs.
Arabs have a pathological will to destroy themselves and their own civilizations very much in the same ways that liberals destroy all around them. Then both groups want to lord over the ruins. It is an amazing phenomenon of the human animal and, I believe, the reason why liberals always side with Arabs even though the latter would enslave and murder them. Its a kind of kinship.

“Extremist” Muslims want to kill us, “moderates” just want to dominate us.
Yes the two groups have much in common.
It may partly be that. A bigger part is that Leftists and Muslims are both collectivists, in that they believe that the individual exists to serve the Group. Whether the Group is the State or the Ummah (community of all Muslims) makes little difference. Both want individuals to be controlled, and are horrified by the idea of allowing individuals use their own energy and wealth to pursue their own goals.
