I don't know if it is ignorance, or lacking a spiritual side, or what, but for some reason there are people who just can't or won't acknowledge evil, so it is hard for them to fathom what you say. The idea that radicalism exists to the point that their sole purpose is the destruction and annihilation of other people or countries is beyond some people's comprehension no matter how you try to state it. If one DOES understand that evil exists however, even the thought of making a deal with a country that wants all of us dead (and continues to state that while the deal is being made!) IS incomprehensible to say the least.
