First thing that must happen is an outright admission that we are now in a religous war. Nobody is going to say that publicly who is in a position of power. The only time a war based on religous conviction can ever be won is when one side or the other is totally eradicated. Anyone who does not realize by now that their goal is the total eradication of the “infidels” is just plain skipping through the clouds.
One thing to note is that the West is not particularly religious anymore, even so it's ironic that the West doesn't manange to project any revulsion to the ultimate mind-control religion, islam. Islam to the modern, liberal Western mind fits the template of a set of beliefs possessed by a downtrodden race that industrialization has passed by or oppressed, and we are ultimately to blame, in their view. Modern liberals cannot put themselves into the head of the fanatical muslim, because it's so foreign to their experience.
