Disease Cures Are Found in Labs. Where Will We Find The Cure For Terrorism?*

* Actually that would be, Violent Global Jihad with the intent of creating a global Caliphate?

As of yet we have not found a way to stop Violent Islamic Global Jihad. In years past it was stopped only by use of firepower and military might which these days would be mightily protested around the world.

So there is nothing we know of that will halt the spread of Islam by negotiation, guile, intimidation or by violence.

As we prepare to pull out of Iraq the only place where experiments might take place in a setting anything similar to the conditions that would exist in the cities of America, developing successful methods of dealing with this new kind of enemy would be put on hold.

There will be no way to develop and try new ways of stopping this threat as it makes it's way to America.

If we don't learn the needed lessons now, over there, do you want these lessons to still be unlearned when jihadists come to your neighborhood?

I'm sure the thousands and thousands of moderate Muslims killed by Jihadists prayed but if their prayers don't work then what?

And what will you do if/when the time comes for you to convert to Islam?

Pray to Allah or Die?

I'm wondering how re-mapping someone's brain would be possible. I mean, maybe you could drug them into submission, but then again we could just do that with the Conservatives when they get too uppity. Put them in their place too.

Yeah, let's count the number of Christian bombings in the last 10 years and compare it the those done in the name of Islam.

Quit being an idiot. There is a problem with militant Islam (the world's largest problem, I might add), and keeping your head up your ass solves nothing.

As long as the "militant islamicists" have a legitimate grudge (in addition to their psychotic rambling illegitimate ones), there will be support for them. If we stop antagonizing them, they will lose the power to attract followers from the mainstream population.

Travel there yourself and see. Until then, you'll never understand the breadth of what I'm describing. They don't need any outside antagonism, they're proficient in starting fires all by themselves.

Islam is the world's most powerful religion from a memetic perspective. The only solution I see is to replace it with an even more powerful religion. Someone would have to invent one of course, and it would have to be so mind-warping that its proponents would willingly be tortured and killed en masse until the religion gained enough of a foothold to overcome the minds of muslims everywhere. But then if the religion is so great at infecting minds it will infect our minds too. And it may evolve to do so in a violent manner. So basically we are screwed. Islam is no wimpy pagan meme-complex, it's here to stay.

On a more serious note, I think the best way to combat radical Islam is to somehow convert it into a more peaceful religion/culture. Perhaps we can somehow show everyone in the muslim world some documentaries of the true human suffering terrorists cause to specific families and people with whom they can relate. Start a documentary by putting a face to an innocent muslim killed by a suicide bomber, then show similar footage of nonmuslim children and other innocents being killed. Tell the stories so the common humanness shared by specific members of separate religions will be emphasized and hopefully taken-to-heart. It won't change terrorists in nonterrorists but it may prevent some people peoplke from becoming terrorists in the first place. What they really need is a very powerful peaceful leader. Their version of Ghandi or MLK. There isn't much we can to help that along though.

I know it's a weak idea but at least it isn't counterproductive like bombs. Perhaps Israel and Iran will nuke eachother to bits and that will bring everyone to their senses? I hope it doesn't come to that...

What's their legitimate grudge? The fact that they have leaders who oppress their own people and then point the finger of blame at the West? The fact that Israel exists?

Truth is, there is a segment of the world's population who have hijacked one of the world's major religions and will continue to terrorize the people of the world until we have all converted to their warped world view.

We can be nice to them. We can hold hands and sing around a campfire. That will not change the fact that they want to kill anyone who doesn't share their belief system – one that subjugates women, reduces freedoms and would mean really bad things for the sales of Jimmy Dean.

their legitimate grudge is that we have invaded a major muslim country, killing over half a million of them, and torturing them in our prisons

Someone (say me) comes down from "heaven" as the second coming of Muhammed. Since I've been in heaven for so long with all those virgins I'll be all mellow and peace loving. Maybe god introduced me to weed or something. So I'll emphasize charity, turn-the-ther cheek type stuff. The nicest, most charitable people are the most awesome and definitely deserve the most wives. Of course the wives will be taught to love the charitable peaceful men, but only when it is of their own free will. Because God doesn't reward anything but pure and awesome love. The most charitable men with the most wives, of course, will be the ones who are so awesomely charitable that they encourage their wives to find less charitable men to be physically husband/wife with even before they are devirginized. But in spirit they will still be married to the super awesome charitable dudes. Capitalism, of course, is the way to wealth and hence the way to the power of charity so men will try to become successful business men so that they will have money to give to the poor. Of course the true end of wealth is to give it away so the rich men will not seek wealth at the expense of the poor or the environment. Their new spiritual leader will inspire them to build beautiful monuments of public necessity like magnificent orphanages, poor-houses and public restrooms that speak of the glory of God.

Only the most truly kinda-awesome people will be allowed into the religion, so people will flock to it so they are known as leaders of their communities. This is the way to the salvation of the world. Anyone want to sign up?

The number of Christian bombings is irrelevant. It's the same disease requiring the same cure.
A disease that mostly affects people who have blind faith in God or Allah, and don't question what they have been told. The disease is made worst dependent on the environment they are in, especially in lawless countries with no civil government.

I spent 2 weeks watching militant Muslims kill each other and destroying anything that wasn't directly associated with their own sect, how about you?

Keep your head in the sand, you'll never see them coming and won't be disturbed by the shelling.

Umm, is this a trick question?

You die maintaining your faith in your Christian god. According to the prcepts of Christianity maintaining one's relationship with God is more important than anything else so why worry if some Islamofascist wants to convert or kill you. Would you rather be a living Muslim or a dead Christian?
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Seems we caught and prosecuted Eric Rudolph for bombing an abortion clinic and two gay bars.


The muslims celebrate the bombing of innocents.


The comment of us killing a half a million people is based on outright lies. Believe me, if we had killed that many, I'd be dancing in the street.

That number is based on the total number of deaths including natural ones, or were they immortal before we got there?
Shut up and eat your paisley.

And this is a new phenomenon?

Tell you what, when they start shelling me, I'll agree with you. And when the warlords in Africa start shelling me, and the gang bangers in LA start shelling me, and when the North Koreans and the Iranians start shelling me, I'll give them all the same courtesy. Until then, I'll try to have some sense not to hang out for weeks on end in their back yards. Incidentally, are you as worried about them as you are about the M&Ms (militants and muslims)?

You know what cures diseases in labs? Controlled experimentation. This implies that to "cure" terrorism you have to let the various western countries each try their own method, without interference from the US (or each other). Then you can see which techniques worked better or worse by which scales (just as different strategies to fight disease often have their various strengths weaknesses and side effects depending on what metric you use to assess their success).

Uh oh. You might discover something profound if you replace West with East.
