Ironically, RI's goal is so huge and so all-encompassing that it cannot succeed if only because of the size of its ambitions.

I think for practical purposes Radical Islam (RI) extremists can be best seen as professional revolutionaries, who's goal is to capture political power in their own (Muslim) countries. Once (and IF, of course) they succeed, then they will worry about their larger goals.

They may decide to take several decades - or as long as needed - to build a few Gulags and re-educate those among their fellow Muslims whom they might think to be a little too "moderate".

...In other words, the size of their goal need not stop them. They'll settle for what's possible.
