Thoughts on "radical Islam"

Why do we call the people who do things like the 9/11 attack "Muslim radicals", when the Koran clearly tells its' followers to wage war against everyone who is not a good Muslim?

We ought to call these people "fundamentalist Muslims" - after all, we call those who interpret the Bible literally "fundamentalist Christians".

When the mainstream of Islam publicly disavows the passages in the Koran that direct Muslims to wage jihad on everyone not one of them, and demonstrate by their action that they do not support such actions, I will consider Islam to be a religion of peace, as peace is defined by the majority of non-Muslims.
