Monotheism does seem particularly prone to extremism and radicalism.
But Monotheism or belief in one G-d is out and out against "Radicalism" and does not support it. Right?
Please

If the founder of the religion was violent toward those of other faiths, it kind of Trumps what he has to say about non-violenceBut Monotheism or belief in one G-d is out and out against "Radicalism" and does not support it. Right?

Muhammad was the most peaceful person ever walked on earth. People misunderstand him.If the founder of the religion was violent toward those of other faiths, it kind of Trumps what he has to say about non-violence

Ahmadis are declared as non-Muslims and further deprived of religious rights in the Second Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan and Ordinance XX. Hundreds of Ahmadis were killed in 1953 Lahore riots, 1974 Anti-Ahmadiyya riots and May 2010 attacks on Ahmadi mosques in Lahore. 1974 riots were the largest killings of Ahmadis.
For the five million Ahmadis,[8][9] religious persecution has been particularly severe and systematic in Pakistan, which is the only state to have officially declared that Ahmadis are non-Muslims.[10]Pakistani laws prohibit the Ahmadis from identifying themselves as Muslims, and their freedom of religion has been curtailed by a series of ordinances, Acts and constitutional amendments.[11] When applying for a Pakistani passport, Pakistanis are required to declare that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was an impostor prophet and his followers are non-Muslims.[12]
Ahmadiyya is a persecuted branch of Islam in Saudi Arabia. Although there are many foreign workers and Saudi citizens belonging to the Ahmadiyya sect in Saudi Arabia,[1] Ahmadis are officially banned from entering the country[2] and from performing the pilgrimage to Mecca.[3][4] This has led to criticisms from multiple human rights organizations.
n 26 April 1984, General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, the President of Pakistan, issued the anti-Ahmadiyya Ordinance XX,[22] which effectively prohibited Ahmadis from preaching or professing their beliefs.[23][24][25] The ordinance, which was supposed to prevent "anti-Islamic activities", forbids Ahmadis to call themselves Muslim or to "pose as Muslims." This means that they are not allowed to profess the Islamic creed publicly or call their places of worship mosques. Ahmadis in Pakistan are also barred by law from worshipping in non-Ahmadi mosques or public prayer rooms, performing the Muslim call to prayer, using the traditional Islamic greeting in public, publicly quoting from the Qur'an, preaching in public, seeking converts, or producing, publishing, and disseminating their religious materials. These acts are punishable by imprisonment of up to three years.[26] Ordinance XX and the 1974 amendment to the constitution effectively gave the state the exclusive right to determine the meaning of the term "Muslim" within Pakistan.
Many Ahmadis were arrested within days of the promulgation of this ordinance, and it gave way for widespread sanctioned as well as non-sanctioned persecution.
In 1986 it was supplemented by a new blasphemy provision[27] also applied to Ahmadis.[28]
I appreciate your observation but it is no fault of Quran/Islam/Muhammad. The masses of the Muslims have been led astray by the corrupt and greedy clergy afar from the peaceful and truthful teachings of Quran/Islam/Muhammad.Then you yourself know first hand how the majority groups of your religion persecute your people for your apparently "deviant" beliefs.

I deeply sympathize with the plight of your community. But how a peace-loving and minority community like you has been treated by the majority Muslim sects tells a lot about the deep deep violence and intolerance that characterizes much of this religious worldview.
Muhammad was the most peaceful person ever walked on earth. People misunderstand him.

And I have never agreed with you and never felt bad about your whatever wrong opinions. Did I ever? PleaseThat's incorrect. You've been show how and why that's incorrect and you've deliberately ignored all the evidence put to you. In order to maintain this ridiculous notion you even dismiss Muslim sources that reference Muhammad's offensive actions against Mecca's trade caravans, the city itself and surrounding Arabian city-states like Taif and resort to cop-outs like "Quran is not a biography of Muhammad". I suspect you're out to deceive us about your prophet, and your sect is attempting to revise history & whitewash Muhammad's character.
But Monotheism or belief in one G-d is out and out against "Radicalism" and does not support it. Right?
History is never 100% correct. Is it? PleaseHistory disagrees with you about monotheism. The Crusades, The Inquisition, Islam fundamentalism and terrorism in modern times, and so on.
If wiki says so yes
If someone designates something specifically as aluminum and someone else uses that thing, is the second person using a different aluminum? If someone else uses something like plastic and calls it aluminum, are there two different aluminums being used? If someone has an aluminum cup, an aluminum spoon, and an aluminum bottle on a table, are there three different aluminums? How do you go from one aluminum to two aluminums?By radical monotheism I mean extremists who believed in one God and believe in outlawing the worship of multiple gods or oppressing those who worship multiple gods and destroying their gods and temples.
I agree with you.Radicals and extremists of any group, whether they be social, political or religious (or worse, the combination of any of them), are dangerous.
