Perhaps radical evangelist Christianity is what springs to mind. It would be a fallacy to denounce groups like, say, the Westboro Baptist Church as "non-Christian" when they certainly are, but in reality they only represent a portion of Christianity throughout this world that would of course drive people to say "this is what Christianity represents". The same could be said for radical Islam.

Concerning the Bible's teachings, they could also be denounced as perverted especially in the Old Testament, but remember it was written 2,000 years ago, written by people less experienced than us, and is obviously not a book to be taken literally (many people miss that - are we honestly supposed to take Revelation as something that will actually, physically happen exactly as described?)

Radicalism in all forms have grown in prevalence over the past hundreds of years, but that in no way encompasses a group on the whole. They may be parts of said groups, and cannot be claimed that they are not, but radicalism is always a blister, on anything.
