Many Islamaphobic types (not what they call themselves necessarily) insist we use the word "radical" to describe the unabomber type terrorism-minded, not understanding our wish to keep the positive spin on "radical" we've always had ("wow, that's rad").
Radical Islam, or √Islam for short, is more connected with Al Jabr (algebra - الجبر) and mosque design, wherein various roots of things express themselves in geometrical patterns. √Christianity is also a positive.
Fundamentalist Islam is the type that clings to the false (phony) promises of various Imams regarding their own legitimacy and authority. Christianity has its fundies too. They tend to take a violent, extremist line, often involving some kind of End Times.
"Radical" is used by "the middle" (as in Middle Way) not just by extreme polarizers. Accepting a positive spin on "radical" may seem politically incorrect to some ears. Get used to it? Do some homework, even a few math problems maybe?
