Al Fadi  contrast the two different views of the meaning of the word radical muslim/Islam.  He points out that the true meaning of radical Muslim is a true follower of Islam and its teachings as revealed in the Quran and especially in the last revealed chapter (chapter 9).  The western and politically correct view is a lie that secular people want to believe that Islam is a peaceful religion and radical muslims can be rehabilitated to stop believing what they believe.
