To help you understand where you're going wrong, let's explain what's behind a phrase in your sig: #AllLivesMatter.
This is a reply to "Black Lives Matters", which is actually a shortened version of "black lives also matter". To illustrate, if police routinely mistreat white folks, something would be done about it. It's unfortunate they shortened it to be a bit more catchy, because many american are unable to figure something like that out.
In short, you're technically agreeing with BLM, that all lives including black ones matter. However, to head this off at the pass, this isn't informed discussion where figuring things out matter, but rather politics where bigots only get mouthy after things are pointed out to them.

To add a bit about your post: you're essentially arguing that gays should start discriminating against or otherwise hating on muslims. I would think that people who've been discriminated against their entire lives would introspect on the folly of this, unlike folks for whom bigotry comes easy.
Do you have polling to back up your radical majority? Or some kind of data? The data covered a few pages back said that the vast majority think violence is no good. So how do you determine their level of radicality?
Ah, so the polling is false. That's a fun place to start from.
What's weird is that I got my info from the same Pew polling data.
The vast majority of Muslims abhor violence.
Yup. Do you want to speculate on the targets of said bombings?
Well, here is the direct Pew link... so no, not feelings:

And you seem to be the one appealing to emotion, quaking with fear of Sharia law, like it's actually going to supplant the constitution. Irrational just scratches the surface.
No, please explain who needs to be blown up and killed?
http://www.pewforum.org/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-overview/Conversely, in some countries where Muslims make up more than 90% of the population, relatively few want their government to codify Islamic law; this is the case in Tajikistan (27%), Turkey (12%)and Azerbaijan (8%).Interesting link you gave us, considering Turkey recently held elections for a party hell bent on replacing their constitution with Islamic law. And pew didn't see that coming? The discrepancy makes one wonder if they're trying to make things look better than they really are.
realibrad originally provided the link a few pages back. Since apparently people overlooked it when he brought it up.
So, to recap, you want to cherry pick from the data, and you feel that 25% of Muslims publicly supporting suicide bombing is acceptable?
Even if the number is 10% that is a huge number of radicals to worry about. 160 million Muslims
The fact of the matter is there are a lot of radicals out there. If you want to act like it isn't a problem, go ahead.And here we go. Let's all worry and see how that works out.

I'll buy you a plane ticket to Orlando, you can crash the victims funerals and explain how you feel.
There was something that just kept nagging me, I guess the government really deserves a free pass, but they hold the record on mass murder on our shores. I grew up near there BTW. That's what happens when the government disarms people, those Lakota deserved to die, because reasons.

So there was this shooting in Webster MN. A black guy came into a house party in the country and shot a bunch of people.
Nobody is helping the cops to any meaningful extent. They got a sketch (who knows if that's even correct) but no other info.
Snitches get stitches.
#BlackLivesAlsoMatter
All you need is for everyone else now to agree with you, and you'd be right! Unfortunately the problem exactly is too many people are unable to figure something like that out.
First, we don't act like a huge number of Muslims aren't radical when trying to figure out what to do. I'm only pointing out facts, not promoting any sort of solution. It seems people can't agree on facts in this place.How does one act like it is a problem? What are the actions that are required of this information?
Diplomacy? War? What?
Fear isn't an action.
