Mr. Khan:
"Intimate contact with other peoples: diplomacy and trade, these are the things that defeat extremism more thoroughly than weaponry"
.....No. Absolutely not. That's how interaction works among nations who apire towards peace. That is not how power works, which is the fundemantal downfall with that type of ideology. You can't defend against a sword with words and gifts, and as long as swords remain, there will always be someone willing to use them.
For example, at some point in the future a nuclear bomb will be used to again.... history just hasn't provided the opportunity yet.
