The US must target the ideology as well, or else it won't matter how many terrorists it kills, as the ranks of the terror groups will quickly refill with new recruits, especially those coming from surrounding terrorist states.

"Weapons are being stockpiled in mosques, shrines and schools," Then we must target mosques, shrines and schools.

No, the US must target the Mosques.
In Texas we have fire ants. You can stand next to the nest and kill them as fast as they come out. But they will keep coming out. You either have to kill the main ant (queen) or destroy where they all organize from.
Since 9/11 I read about Islam. Read a lot. I've read the followers writings and the Imams edicts. I've read a lot of the Muslim "book".
It's a "religion" of bullies by bullies. There is only one way to handle bullies.

I agree.
But, how would you tackle the ideology?

No, the US must target the Mosques. You are correct. Mosques are one of the institutions who spread this ideology. You must target all those institutions who spread militant Islam, whether they be the media, mosques, schools, etc. First it must start in Iraq, but it must move on to the rest of the Islamic world, or else Iraq will fail. Iraq has already shown signs that militant Islam is still there. Take for example anti-Jewish talk by Iraqi government officials themselves, or the fact Iraqi police has turned on us. This targetting does not need to be done only militarily, by targetting for example radio stations in Saudi Arabia. The free world must isolate these regimes, not trade with them, etc. The world must remove this militant Islamic ideology, which is a cancer, if it ever seeks to destroy the terrorism. Terrorism is a product of the ideology. Going simply after the terrorism will not stop the terrorists. You must target what is causing them to murder non-Muslims in the first place. However, political correctness has so far prevented such action abroad and at home. For starters, we must stop buying their oil, and look for oil not coming from Islamic terror states like Saudi Arabia. It is only through this that the US will suceed. Just killing terrorists will not do the trick.

US commanders said 64 Shia fighters were killed in the engagement near Najaf, which occurred as American soldiers replaced departing Spanish troops. The irony here is rather profound.
