If we leave them alone, they will happily go back to killing each other, like they did for hundreds of years before the West decided we needed to control their governments to get favored treatment for western oil companies.

The profiteers are now in DC, Wall Street and London. We need to swear off foreign oil, bring our troops home, and violence against Americans will quickly be reduced, then eliminated. We are the uniting force for radical Islam. Without us antagonizing them, their sectarian differences will become more pronounced, and they will kill each other, not us.

Islamists (those who want a caliphate) use Islam as a cohesive force combined with the political will to spread with death throughout the world.

It's not "their" religion. It's religion. Religion is evil in the hands of extremists. All religion. Except maybe Taoism. I don't know what a Taoist extremist would be like. But I'd be careful, just the same. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy
