Unanimous Muslim condemnation of the terrorism committed in their name would be more effective than any Western weapon in ending it. How so? The terrorists are only obeying the teachings of Islam.

Good question. But it is for them to decide who is a good Muslim and who is not. There is definitely a foundation in Islam that Jihadists draw on. On another hand, 80% or more of Muslims don't ACT on those interpretations. They live normal from our point of view lives.
It is not in our interest for Wahhabists and other radicals to take over the whole Islamic world. But it is not in their interest neither.
Let them figure out how they will answer this question who is a good Muslim and who is not. We need to support all those whose answer is "the peaceful one" and help to eliminate the Jihadists. If it takes a reformation, or a civil war, so be it. Afghanistan and Iraq democratization is a good step also.
But if Jihadists win their internal struggle they will eventually attack us so painfully, that we will stop asking questions and will leash out terribly. So, if anybody wanted my advice, they better answer correctly now.
