If western governments truly wanted to stop islamic extremism and terrorism they wouldn't allow Saudi money be spent so freely in their countries.
Oh I definitely agree with that too, good post
But I think a large part of undoing the damage which has already been done is through narratives. There needs to be less attention and authority given to "Muslim scholars" who just defend the faith, and more supporting the Muslims and ex-Muslims who want genuine open conversation about radicalism, secularism and social progessiveness.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
