Unlike Daniel Snopes, I don't believe that there could be 120 million possible terrorists out there, I don't think that there are that many people in the entire world who would willingly strap a live bomb to their body, and push the detonator.

In the 1870's and 1920's, the Klan was a mass movement with a huge number of members. The vast majority of members would never have directly engaged in killing. But they participated in creating a climate of approval for such acts

But THEY BELONGED to the Klan.

Now, in Iraq, many people still support the Baath Party, and Saddam Hussein...you can see them chanting support for Saddam even as they take food and supplies from the coalition forces.

In your scenario, they should then be treated as combatants for expressing their support of Hussein, after all, they help in "creating a climate of support" for continued resistance.

The largest number of Muslims are in Indonesia...when do we attack?

After Iraq and before Syria?

The enemy is Arab Nationalism using Islam to further its goals.

Attack the enemy.
