Exactly right. It's high time the current US administration (i.e. Obama) recognizes this and act accordingly, instead of trying to perpetrate the myth that if only we would be "nicer to them", they would behave differently.

Our generational struggle against a poisonous ideology

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/11039214/Our-generational-struggle-against-a-poisonous-ideology.html

Writing in The Sunday Telegraph, David Cameron warns of terrorist caliphate on the shores of the Mediterranean if Islamic State succeeds.

“Because if we do not act to stem the onslaught of this exceptionally dangerous terrorist movement, it will only grow stronger until it can target us on the streets of Britain. We already know that it has the murderous intent.”

Just went to the CAIR website. As you might expect, not a word about ISIS on the home page. I admittedly didn’t search the site-I was too creeped out just being there.

There maybe moderate muslims; there is no moderate Islam.

One of the greatest miscalculations in human history, the search for democracy and the Islamic moderate in the Middle East. It just doesn’t exist, and probably never will, at least in my lifetime. If I was put in charge for do overs, Afghanistan would have been handed over to the local warlords, all on the CIA payroll. Iraq would have had two options, one, make a deal with Saddam to fight the War on Terror on our side. With the right carrots it could have been done. Second, after overthrowing Saddam, install another Baathist thug as dictator, except he does our bidding, of course for a handsome fee in a Swiss bank account of his choice. In many ways this is what we did during the Cold War, and guess what we WON.

The idea of the 1990s agreements was to “Create Moderates” by having the Palestinians teach their children that Jews were humans too, and deserved to be treated like humans.

The Palestinians, of course, IGNORED those agreements and continued with their hated-filled teaching. The rest of the world knew what was going on, but looked the other way, treated it like a “phase” that the Palestinians were going through and therefore didn’t have much meaning.

The hate-teaching worked, now Israel has to fight those SAME CHILDREN.

“Moderate” Muslims are MINOs.

A significant portion of the FSA left and joined ISIS recently.

How was that even possible if they were really “moderate” to begin with...
