As for me. There is a two-step process here:
First, the West needs to wean itself off oil so that it no longer matters what these primitive shits do, and
Second, they need to have it out among themselves without our interference, just as catholics and protestants did in the 16-17th centuries. They need to slaughter each other in great numbers with mind-numbing atrocities until they, too, realize that killing and being killed for an invisible sky-daddy is just fucking stupid.
The 30 Years War ended in 1648 and Europe recoiled in horror which led to the Enlightenment and that was the beginning of the end of religion in Europe. Today it is a vestigal presence and jesusists no longer massacre entire populations over such burning questions as Transubstantiation. I regard this as an improvement. But I have no idea how much blood will need to be shed before muslims come to regard the issue as not worth fighting over.
I dunno... I don't think it's right for us, as the richest and most powerful country in the world, to sit back and let them kill innocent people and children. Not only that, but they won't just keep the slaughtering on their own soil. They will terrorize the West and kill people there too... as they have always done. And then of course, we have the problem of refugees leaving the country and needing to find a home somewhere... which is what is happening now.
Furthermore, Jihad has been going on ever since Islam first came into existence. It seems if they were going to learn on their own that killing is wrong, it would have happened a while back ago. It keeps happening because of the root of the problem: the fact that there is no order in Islam and that anyone can read the Koran (a violent book) in any way they like and go around killing people in the name of Mohammed. Islam needs to be reformed from within. There are a lot of really bad Muslims, but there are more good Muslims than bad ones. These good Muslim folks, who are the majority, need to face this problem head on and figure out how they're going to deal with it. Obviously it won't happen overnight. It may take centuries. But it needs to be done and it needs to start somewhere, at some time, otherwise this will never end.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
