The senior minister issued his warning Monday while answering questions at the World Economic Forum in Singapore, ChannelnewsAsia reported.

Lee said tight security checks such as those at the forum will be a fact of life because terrorism is a long term problem.

"So it's a problem which finally can only be solved by Muslims themselves."

Incentive is everything. Something they lack and something that must be bestowed upon them. When the gains of terrorism are but a grain of sand compared to the cost.

Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew warns that terrorism can be beaten only after radical preachers in Islamic schools around the world are stopped,

That is exactly right: war on terrorism is nonsense.

Interesting little story I was emailed last year .... Can't find it, so I'll do it from memory .....

Man and his son are strolling through a park in NYC. They come upon some kind of sculpture with two tall rectangular shapes in the middle.

Son asks, "What's that, Dad?"

Father answeres, "That's a monument to the Twin Towers".

Son thinks a moment ...... "Dad, what are the Twin Towers?"

Father says, "At one time they were the tallest buildings in the world, and they used to stand right on this spot until about 30 years ago when the Arabs destroyed them".

Son thinks a moment ...... "Dad, what's an 'Arab'?"

I hope you're right... (not-so-optimistic sigh).

It would seem that the US probably has more "free speech" than most countries have.

And I do believe that if the US came to conclude that mullahs and imams in US mosques DO PREACH AND INCITE terrorism & violence, that should stand up under our laws as a crime. Arrest, try and punish them.

So if the US has the most liberal free speech laws, it would follow that other countries would find it more simple to likewise arrest, try and jail them.

If the penalty for incitement (however subtle) was prison, around the globe, it might reverse the trend of terrorism.

Failing that, larger and larger explosions, until success is achieved.

"Son thinks a moment ...... "Dad, what's an 'Arab'?"

I would share the sentiment, but I don't blame the Arabs. Not all Arabs are Islam and not all of Islam are Arabs.

Yes, I read that. Thanks for the link.

Islam is a devolutionary system of thought against which the civilized world must propel itself from for its own physical survival. Islam is the thrustblock which rears its ugly head periodically in order for the world to collectively re-constitute and refresh its desire for peace, freedom and justice. If there be a common enemy to unite against, let it be a system of thought, not a race of people. Wiley and treacherous Islam has revealed itself as the enemy of mankind once again and it is time to put it underfoot.

Even the writer of the article you refer to, a muslim, hints that there is something intrinsically wrong with his belief system, but only sees dimly, as through a veil.
