It seems possible to argue that the “good people” in Nazi Germany of whom you speak were also either naïve, indifferent, perhaps selfish, irresponsible, certainly intimidated and coerced, or otherwise frightened to the point of inaction. With hindsight, it is clear those good people had a responsibility at least to their families and neighbors to react – perhaps initially with stronger politicians - to Hitler’s early 1930’s political machinations, which were largely accomplished with deception, street thugs, voter intimidation, etc.
Perhaps that is the lesson for us today and the lesson for “peaceful moslems”.
Unfortunately, good people do not always timely react to infringements in meaningful ways, if at all. And bad people tend to increase their overstepping until resistance is ineffectual.
So we select politicians to safeguard our systems, and then sometimes fail to hold them accountable.
I guess my point was that there were “good” Germans, “normal” Germans, and Nazis.
And they all got bombed equally.
It should be the same for Islam. Once the issue becomes violent, its not our job to “sort them out.” We need to go into the “kill ‘em all” mode. Anything else is a waste of resources and creates unecessary risks for our service members. The only exception is for those who are trustworthy enough to fight our side (and the Afghan police and armed forces don’t seem to be in that group... I’d be happy to hear differently).
And, as anyone who has read Arithmetic on the Frontier knows, the enemy’s lives are cheap and “...we are dear.”
