I think economic warfare will end the threat of Islamists to the West more so then any military adventure just like opening the spice routes to East Asia and cutting off the Islamic middle man caused all the Islamic empires to contract and fall apart within 2 centuries. Find alternative modern day "spice" routes or alternative modern day versions of "spices" and game over for the holy warriors of Mecca. The Islamic world started to come apart the day the Portugese found a way to go around Africa and get to the Spice Islands. The decilne was slow but by the last 3 centuries most of the Islamic world was under European colonial control until the 1950s.

That means no more technology transfers to Islamic nations. They can buy the goods but we can't allow Islamic nations the ability to make industrial goods. The West (Europe) must stop and reverse all migration from the Islamic world. Prop up client states of secularists. Punitive raids on occasion.

"...most of the Islamic world was under European colonial control until the 1950s."

Look at Haiti,look at Africa, look at the Middle East, and tell me that you doubt we will have to colonize again. That is what I think will happen, not in my life time, but within the next century.

Too late.

This time it is not about spices, but about oil. The Islamic countries control most of the world's oil. If the U.S. were not supporting the dictators and rulers who will sell us oil, they would be overthrown, and the price of oil would soar.
