You're right about that! It seems to me that the only way to permanently change the craziness in that part of the world is to remove children from the parents as they're born. The kids could be taught rational thought and important values such as personal freedom. These kids could then be returned to their native land when they hit adulthood. At that point they should be resistant to the Islamic "infection". This could rid the world of Islamic insanity within a couple of generations. The whackos would die off and the path would be clear for rationality to take over!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
