Correct. But knowledgeable bigotry is one answer. Overwhelming force is another.
For instance, I'm bigoted against thieves, murderers, and rapists. I don't want them anywhere near me. I'm quite happy to pay my government in the form of taxes to catch, incarcerate, and when possible execute them.
We have some excellent knowledge of who are the ones causing most of the trouble. They're predominantly muslim males between the ages of 17 and 45. 90% of the time they have 'mohamed' or some variation thereof in their name.
A sizable percentage of the time they wear mustaches.
Nearly 100% of the time they've been 'educated' in a wahabbi mosque somewhere in the world.
Now you can call it bigotry if you like, but it's a damned accurate profile of a likely mass murderer no matter how you slice it. (pun intended)
The facts of the matter are this.
We're (the US) being infiltrated at an alarming rate by the above mentioned 'types' from 2nd and third world countries.
It wouldn't be bigoted to point out these facts. It further wouldn't be bigoted to point out that we have absolutely no national need for these people.
It wouldn't do any serious harm to completely eliminate immigration from these countries and may in fact do a great deal of good.
Point two is overwhelming force. Well, overwhelming force backed up by a willingness to use it.
Pussyfooting around with some low level jihadis in Iraq isn't going to solve the problem. The source of the poison is in Saudi Arabia. Specifically it's in Riyadh and Mecca.
Destroy those two cities utterly and the problem will largely self resolve.

I'm an American.
My parents were American.
My grandparents were American.
I am a descendant of an American president.
Just FYI.
And Medina (probably more than Riyahd).

Uh, not to put too fine an edge on it, but Saudi Arabia is an ally of the U.S.
Could not agree more.
