Then you’d have to nuke many millions of people, possibly 1.6 billion people, because that is how many Muslims there are now on the planet (and growing very fast). Right now that is 23% of the world’s population.
Do you think the rest of the world would not have something to say about that, about us exterminating millions of people indiscriminately with nuclear bombs?
The other option is to be willing to sacrifice our own People by being purely reactive - waiting for them to attack is not a smart thing to do, but if we do end up reacting to an attack, we have to be merciless in our response.
Singing kumbaya and sitting on our thumbs only emboldens them. As Golda Meir once said, there can only be peace when they start to love (or mourn) their own children more than they hate us.
