If you think 5%-10% of 1800 Million Muslims can be won over by any particular appointment to UN, just forget about it. Radical Islam has not been subdued since Mohammad walked the earth in the 7th century. Only reason Radical Islam was not a serious world problem until last 50-60 years was poverty. Now with oil money, it can not be subdued until oil runs dry and possibly not even then due to increased world mobility with internet and jet travel.

I’d go a different direction with the Radical Islam. Many of the ME rulers, from 40-50 years ago, knew of the radical ideology and kept it in check. They were probably pretty brutal in their methods, but then again, that is the only thing radical islam knows, brutality. Think what you want of Hussein or Assad, they kept the radicals in check. If that meant getting shot in the head and left to rot, so be it.

The Shah of Iran kept all the crazies in prison, until he was forced out by Carter and look what happened there. Same thing for Ghaddafi. Yes, I know he played a part in the PanAm bombing over Lockerbie. But, within his borders, he kept the radicals confined to one place, Benghazi, and kept them in check. While the rest of the country enjoyed a fairly decent standard of living, unlike now, with obama/clinton intervention.

Yes the oil money plays a part, as it affords guys like bin laden to self fund his evil. It allowed ISIS to do their thing, but they’re about done thanks to the President.

One of the things that is changing things in the Middle East, I type this sitting somewhere in Iraq, is the internet. While there are still plenty of young muslims that see some sort of glory or heroism, in hoisting an ISIS flag, etc, but there are millions that are watching Youtube and Pornhub, that want no part of that. How do I know that? I see it, firsthand, every day.
