I do but...
1. This question is worded in an extremely biased way
2. How does this mean my views are in line with the Qur'an?
2. The Qur'an is very explicit about how to deal with evil and how to deal with a existential military threat:
(22/39) Permission to fight is given to those who are being fought, because they have been wronged...
(4/75) And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help."
(4/91) You will find others that wish to have security from you and security from their people. Every time they are sent back to temptation, they yield thereto. If they withdraw not from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them. In their case, We have provided you with a clear warrant against them.
(9/5) Then when the Sacred Months have passed, then kill the idol worshippers wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush.
(9/13) Will you not fight a people who have violated their oaths (pagans of Makkah) and intended to expel the Messenger, while they did attack you first?
No sane person would disagree with the Qur'anic instructions of warfare. That is how we deal with those who beat the drums of war.
