God, I hope we can now stop hearing "Bringing democracy and a better way of life to the Middle East will stop terrorism!"
and
"These Muslims need more education and opportunity so they won't decide to be suicide terrorists!!"
and
"If we fight 'em there, we won't have to fight 'em here!"
All of which were shown to be 100% pure crap. The Londoners (hell, the 9/11 assholes too) lived in a free, democratic society. They had plenty of education and opportunity but due to being Islamic still considered and ultimately decided to choose a wasted, loser life of suicide terrorism.
ISLAM MUST REFORM. Without that, this will never end.
You would seem to be right.
And what are the chances that Islam will reform from within without several cities annihilated as a compelling factor to change?
ISLAM MUST REFORM. Without that, this will never end.
And how are we to get reform, without the above strategies? That is what bringing democracy to the middle east is, a strategy for getting Islam to reform. Let us hear your strategy.
I would posit that the strategy that we are following is working quite well, and we should continue it. Yes, it can be improved with stricter border controls, stricter controls on what is said in Mosques, and further restrictions on Saudi money.
But all of that is only an extension of what we are already doing.
"ISLAM MUST REFORM. Without that, this will never end."
Not quite. Rather it's that either Islam reforms or it will be exterminated.
