What is the answer to radical Islam? This is NOT an anti Islam thread

I'm going to be extremely unpopular by saying this, but so be it, I'm entitled to my opinion like everyone else:

Stop mass bombing ordinary citizens, families and just general regular Muslims. Far too many innocent people have been killed during wars (Ill conceived wars or otherwise) due to either incompetence or unwillingness.

General bad attitude towards Muslims doesn't help either, bombing cities in the so called quest for their freedom and then doing a half-assed job or not at all to rebuild the cities and help the citizens generates a huge amount of animosity.

I think perhaps certain individuals join these radical groups over nothing more than a general dislike for Americans created during the Bush and Obama regime.

Just my honest thoughts.

I agree entirely. Nothing helps create an extremist better than having their family killed by a "repressive external force". If you put yourself into an ordinary Iraqi or Afghan's shoes for a minute as an example, it's quite easy to see where the hate comes from.

And that is why your opinion is not going to be liked. All we do over there is reconstruction! Have you been deployed? What do you know besides what is hand fed you on the news? Yeah, they all got it sooo bad over there.

How about they keep their religion over there and leave the rest of the World ( America) alone. Don't admit to bombing us, don't bomb us, don't say things over video that is going to make us hate you, don't make nuclear weapons for the sole purpose of blasting some major American city, respect our culture like you want us to respect yours, stop getting so mad when South Park or Craig Ferguson or anyone else makes fun of Muhamad.

They are 14-20 hours away from America. That should be far enough so we do not have to worry about being bothered by them.

Oh yeah, don't praise Allah and Muhamed and then butcher and torture your people, including Females. Then you will not bring on the wrath of the West.

I'm sorry... are you under the misguided opinion that I am a muslim or from the middle east? Do you proclaim to know what life is like anywhere other than the country you currently live in?

How about you keep you close minded bigoted opinions to yourself and embrace multiculturalism in a non racist manner? Anybody who has actually served in Iraq/Afghanistan for any period of time, has done so against muslim counterparts with exactly the same objectives. I am a white Christian born British male. Our media is faaaar more balanced than your's could ever hope to be so long as you continue to accept such openly offensive opinions as acceptable in society.

I don't praise any god as I am agnostic. However, I also have respect (something clearly lacking in your post) and will never ridicule anyone else for their beliefs, whether in God, Allah, Nothing or the Potato King. Wrath of the West? That is a big factor in the Eastern hatred of the West. If you cannot see that, carry on living in teletubby land. 

I guess you approve of the antics of the Westboro Church, as they are the US's equivalent of the extreme muslim movements.  I also guess that means by default all Christians share the same view as the Westboro church and so you are anti gay etc. You are right, you are 14-20 hours away from the real world, and this is why you have no clue whatsoever as to what life in the real world is like.
