Scholars of Islam distinguish between extreme extremists and moderate extremists

Lou Dobbs of CNN’s MoneyLine became a hero in the media by using “radical Islamists” instead of “terror” to describe our enemy. But now two of his guests want to make a distinction between radical Islamists (who want to impose a totalitarian Caliphate on all nations through violence and terror) and “mainstream” Islamists (who want to impose a totalitarian Caliphate on all nations without violence and terror). His third guest, Daniel Pipes, insists it’s a distinction without a difference.
