And the Islamic world is composed of despots using Islamism as a tool to further their intentions.
Perhaps the solution would be to surgically take out the despots and the mullahs they use to promote their Islamist ideology. Make it clear that promoting, financing, or preaching radical Islam puts you on the hit list
That's like saying that because of the actions of Castro, Chavez, and the Shining Path guerrillas, the Hispanic world is composed of despots. You can't simply generalize that broadly and remain focused on the true enemy, which is this version of Islam that emerged less than a century ago.
Most of the "Islamic world" lies outside of the Middle East, as a matter of fact, the overwhelming majority of it lies outside of the Middle East, it serves no purpose whatsoever to paint them with such a broad stroke, and turn hundreds of millions of people who have absolutely no beef with us, into the enemy.
My "agenda", if indeed I have an agenda, is to maintain everyone's eyes focused on the enemy...Muslim extremism, Wahabbi directives, Saudi funding, and ignorance, all of which can be fought in one small area of the world--the Middle East--without actually engaging the non-combatants that comprise 90% of Islam.
Exactly.
What the extremists within Islam in the Middle East fear the most, is the secularization of Islam, take them out, and allow for the trappings of Western civilization to take hold in Syria, Iran, etc., and their power will be lost forever.
The better educated the people, and the more advanced their economy, the least likely that they will engage in terrorism...unless of course, they are Wahabbis.
