No, it's simple logic: Giving up your freedom makes you less secure, not more. We won't lock ourselves away know and we shouldn't have locked Americans of Japanese ancestry away in the 1940s.
The Spanish Inquisition is all you can come up with RE Islam terrorists demanding journalists renounce their own religion or lack thereof and declare themselves Islamic converts -- or be killed? You speak of "simple logic." One simple and true rule is to judge a tree by its fruit. Whereever Islam dominates, the fruit has been consistently crappy. Nations built on Christian and Jewish foundations, on the other hand ... but I guess in Islam the Jewish/Christian rule that envy and jealousy are false guides and meant to be avoided, is absent.
Comparing Islamic terrorism to Judeo-Christian "terrorism" in historical context and saying they come out even is moral equivalence of incredibly false proportions and reveals either willful ingorance or delusion. It's a matter of simple logic.
