'Islam will conquer. Islam will destroy.' Yes, there are those who dream such dreams. There are even some who act accordingly. It's a problem.

Many of the actions taken to 'oppose' this problem have had the effect of making it bigger. I include 'invading Iraq' and 'torturing prisoners.' In dealing with this problem, it is vital to avoid stupidity.

Force often summons forth opposing force. Defining people as enemies makes more of them enemies. We (the West) must respond more intelligently, not be sucked into a mindless cycle of conflict.
