I agree. Contrary to popular thought, the violence of militant Islam is actually its death throes. I read a report where over 95% of the Arabs who live in South America are Christians, and the actual Muslim population is only about 40,000-50,000 (instead of the 20 million Muslims advertise). There are many Arabs in the Middle East secretly converting to Christianity.
Any vicious, violent creature is often its most dangerous when it knows its dying. You develop all America's petroleum resources, end the demand for Saudi and other Middle Eastern Oil, and they'll revert to their days of nomadic tribesmen.
