Yes, that is true, other than the “radical” modifier. It’s actually ordinary, mainstream, standard Islam. In any case, does a single head of state or government in the West dare to agree publicly with Netanyahu’s remarks here about the common threat that Israel and the countries of Europe and North America face? Of course not.
“Netanyahu says only unity government under his leadership can ‘confront threat of radical Islam,'” by Moran Azulay, Ynet News, November 4, 2026:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Wednesday that a government dependent on Arab parties would be unable to confront the threat of radical Islam, accusing the parties of supporting terrorism in his first video statement since last week’s election.
Netanyahu, who has not appeared publicly since election night, released the recorded statement as President Isaac Herzog began consultations with parliamentary factions to determine who should receive the mandate to form the next government.
The prime minister, whose Likud party is seeking to retain power despite the election setback, called for a broad national coalition under his leadership and renewed allegations that foreign countries had attempted to influence the election results.
“Radical Islam is the challenge tearing countries in Europe apart today, and it is the challenge threatening us as well,” Netanyahu said. “It threatens us from outside through Iran and its proxies, and it threatens us from within through Islamist parties that support terrorism.”
He accused the Arab parties of seeking to erase Israel’s Jewish identity and undermine its ability to defend itself, arguing that a government relying on their parliamentary support would pose a danger to the country.
“The one government that certainly cannot confront the threat of radical Islam is a government dependent on radical Islam, on these Islamist parties that reject the very existence of a Jewish state,” Netanyahu said….

EVERY MUSLIM is a Terrorist of Allah with MUSLIM MONEY and MUSLIM LIVES against all Non-Muslims as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 9:5, 14-15, 29, 41, 111; 49:15, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”
Islam, a Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprise, is against the US Constitution for Muslim funding, teaching, and promoting discrimination, hatred, rape, segregation, violence, totalitarianism, and terrorism. Allah in Qur’an 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…”.

Islam is ok, radical islam is the problem. All these years, still stupid.
Walter Sierjuk says
Prime Minister of the State of Israel , Benjamin Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about “radical Islam and that it’s tearing the countries apart …” Netanyahu was mostly speaking mostly to an audience of Westerners , Therefore, he used that, term “Radical Islam.”
The terms “Radical Islam” as well as “Islamic extremism” Western terms and unknown in the Muslim world. Therefore, those words not fitting term as the following explains.
For the terms Islamic extremism” and “Islamic extremist” as well as “Radical Muslim” is actually a misuse of terms. “Moderate Muslim” are actually Western term and not that well known in the Islamic Middle East.
This is because what In the Islamic mindset in the Muslim Middle East as well as in Indonesia and other Muslim controlled countries what the non-Muslims of the Western nations view as “radical and “extremist” the Muslims of those places in the world see as “Normal” and even Devout and committed to the Cause of Islam.”
In addition, those “Moderate Muslims” are those of the Islamic worldview and non-devout and non –committed Muslims. The violent jihadists even see them as “hypocrites.” Therefore, this explains the jihadist chant of those jihad-minded Muslims in different Islamic terror organizations. When they chant aloud “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” Meaning Death to people who and not Muslims and people who are non- jihadist Muslims.
Concerning the last part of this above essay, the violent spirit of that vicious jihadist chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” The later word of the chant “hypocrites” in the jihad –minded Muslim worldview is further explain in the book titled JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH by Jamie Glazov , for on page 42 the reader is informed that “Islam mandates that devout and real Muslims must punish , and in some circumstances kill, those Muslims whom they regard as neither legitimate nor properly devout.”

I’m sure glad that during WWII the Allies made a distinction between Radical Nazism and Nazism. And I am equally glad that during the Cold War there was a distinction drawn between Radical Communism and Communism.
Gamzu says
You make a good point, though it could be argued that Communism is radical socialism. (The old joke was that Communists were liberals in a hurry. Unfortunately the joke is not that funny.)
Walter Sieruk says
Many scholars on Islam ,such as Brigitte Gabriel and Robert Spencer, had explain that the terms “Radical Islam” and “Moderate Islam” Western terms and are unknown to the Islamic world. As the Muslim president of Turkey had. truly declared “Islam is Islam”
Furthermore, a Muslim in an Islamic country would view that a Westerner would call a “Radical Muslim” in a Muslim nation he would be seen as a “devote Muslim” who is totally committed to the cause of Islam by the way of the violent jihad,
By contrast what a Westerner would call a “moderate Muslim’ many Muslims in Asia as well as the Middle East call a Muslim who is not really living up to his faith in Islam by not taking up arms in the violence and killing of the jihad for Islam.
Therefore many of Muslim, overseas , would call him a “hypocrite” This is way many devote Muslim who are violent jihadists gather together in a group and chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites ” Meaning “Death to non-Muslims and non-violent, jihadist Muslims.
Walter Sieruk says
One misconception which many Westerners is that there is “Radical Islam” and “Moderate Islam.”
Walter Sieruk says
Even though Netanyahu used term “Radical Islam. “ the basic gist of this statement should be clear enough to understand the message of the danger and menace of Islam is towards the nations of Europe.
Therefore, it may be truly said that “A specter is haunting Europe – the specter of Islam.”
Consequently. it might be of some interest to a few people that that a book with title of JIHAD IN THE WEST published in the year 1998 authored by Paul Fregosi ,was a man who was thinking ,a bit ahead of his time ,as in before 9/11 and then many Islamic horrors of jihad terrorism that hit London, Manchester, Madrid Paris as well as other Western nations of Europe .For above mentioned book of page 411 reads “Most worrying , both Islam and the West see each other as potential enemies of tomorrow .The future is a source of concern , not of optimism.”
For this year of 2026 is the “future” as seen from the time-frame of the year 1998 when that book was published. As the author thus had a valid point in what he wrote in the above quote .
Moreover the threats of the jihadists towards the people of the nations of West .This has been further explained and revealed by in the book , by Robert Spencer ,THE HISTORY OF THE JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS .Which in page 367 informs the reader that “The early twenty- first century saw a sharp rise in jihad massacres perpetrated all over the West by individuals or small groups of Muslims: in London, Manchester, Paris, Toulouse, Nice ,Amsterdam, Madrid, Brussels, Berlin Munich ,Copenhagen…”
Those jihadists /Muslims with their insidious jihad-minded Muslims scheming for the subtle and not so subtle, Islamic conquest of Europe by every possible means, including the stealth and violent jihad which is, indeed, awful.
As explained by William Wagner in his book HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD .Which informs the reader n page 195 “Of all the continents of the world, Europe is probably the number one target by Muslim strategist who are seeking world dominance.”
Therefore, all Europeans and other Westerners would be wise to be on guard.
Giancarlo MATTA says
[ “…number one target by muslim strategists…” ]
now tell me , WS : WHO are muslims strategists ?
where are they ?
looking forward to read your reply
Gamzu says
Not everyone might appreciate your quote: “A specter is haunting Europe – the specter of Islam.”
It comes from Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto, except it substitutes “Islam” for “Communism.”
Frank Anderson says
The ONLY radical Islam is one which changes the “final, perfect, complete and unchangeable” teachings and practices of ALL, standard, common, orthodox Islam. Islam teaches and practices a never-ending war of world conquest, murder, slavery and looting. Some are just more patient in seeking the goals than others.
I would VOTE for and support BB Netanyahu anytime given the opportunity. This statement reflects a disappointing lack of information or an active “delusion of reprieve”.
Viktor Frankl was a Jewish MD Psychiatrist who survived the death camps in the Holocaust. He wrote a brilliant concise book that identifies and explains “delusions of reprieve.” Obviously I have read the book several times and given it to others many times. This, the present, is not the time where delusions should guide our decisions.

Yes, the qualifier should be sent to the round file on the floor. islime is slime, all of it, the belief and the practice.
Their demon book of evil filth lays it out for any interested person to read and gag over.
Or just open eyes to what muzzies are doing, open the ears to what they are saying, and if the *why* feels necessary after that, read the words of non-muzzies who know the whys. Mr. Spencer, Mr. Ibrahim, Mr. Emerson.
Just as a wild fire needs copious amounts of water or foam, experienced men to fight it with the appropriate tools, islime needs to be confronted for what it is…the .evil destruction of mankind.
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
Radical? No other religion has Islam’s amount of radical believers that create so much trouble.. Other religions want to do their own thing and be left alone to occupy their own niche in society. Islam’s goal is supremacism, world domination and slavery or death if you don’t want to join. Prove me wrong.
Chevelle says
I have been paying attention to the new Muslim in Congress, Adam Hawaey. He is a former Al Qaeda financier and right hand man’s of blind sheikh.
He will be a force in Congress. He is talking about Israel a lot and will push for no weapons at all for Israel and sanctions. He is dangeous. He also said he’s already working to elect many more Muslims nationwide with his funding networks. I guess the Euphoria is crazy right now and the Muslims will begin pouring money into more candidates.
We are in trouble folks. My senator is a Muslim Abdul, and my house rep is also an Islamist, Rashida Talab the slop. Plus other Muslims here got elected. And supposedly, there is talk here of Muslims challenging democrats for more seats in primary.
They also want Slotkin’s seat and may challenge her from the far left, with another radical Islamist and rally the youth vote in primary.
It’s gonna be crazy guys. 2028, many many Muslims are coming. And they’re all talking defunding the pentagon. Hamawy wants to do an audit himself.

Only problem: in 2015, when Candidate Trump called for a “muslim ban”, Bibi was among those who criticized the call. Also, in one of the previous elections, he took supported the idea of a coalition w/ Ra’am, although admittedly that was before October 7 2023
No, the only Israeli politicians whose stance on Israel I fully endorse is Itamar Ben-Gvir. Who w/ his 8 seats can still be an essential part of any government that excludes the Arab Parties and The Democrats (Israel’s successors to the Labor Party)
David M says
“Radical Islam” is actually Muslims doing what their texts tell them to do, the Quran & the Sunnah. Something 99% of western commentators can’t get their head around.
