A lot of people in the West believe that every Muslim ought to be either monitored, shipped off to another country (or planet), incarcerated, or killed. I don't think that's a good strategy because it's never going to happen and it will not solve the problem with Islamic terrorism.
The majority of Westerners also believe that more should be done by Muslims themselves, to help the world deal with the problem of Islamic terrorism. I happen to be one of those people, but I think many of us may not realize that there are some Muslims who are doing everything they can to dismantle and discredit this horrible jihadist ideology.
After the Paris attacks on Friday the 13th of this month, Muslim human rights activists (yes, they do exist) are fighting back against radical Islamic ideology and also going against those idiots who deny the relationship of the Islamic State to Islam.
Mohammed Amin, the chairman of the UK Conservative Muslim Forum, slammed the Muslim groups that refused to do anything beyond lip service, saying "condemning terrorism is not enough if you are unwilling to acknowledge its cause."
That takes spherical biological equipment.
Amin said that condemnations of terrorism from groups like Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Council of Britain left him "feeling frustrated--because they look so incomplete." He went on to add "I am utterly fed up with hearing people, both Muslim and non-Muslim, argue that the religious views of the terrorists are irrelevant."
It's about time someone of the Islamic faith spoke out like this.
Another activist, Maajid Nawaz said on Facebook that "None of us Muslims deserves an infantile pat on the back merely for condemning ISIS, which even al-Qaeda does."
Anti-extremism activist and journalist Felix Marquardt stepped it up a notch writing in The Telegraph that "We Muslims must hunt down these monsters who make a mockery of our religion." He called out Muslims who, like Obama and liberals in general, say that ISIS has "nothing to do with Islam," despite that this is the Muslim knee-jerk reaction, labeling it "dubious intellectually and altogether irresponsible to keep our reaction at that."
There are other Muslims, like Dr. Zudhi Jasser and Raheel Raza, the latter who implore both Muslims and non-Muslims to "connect the dots to get to the root of terrorism." She argues that "Since 9/11, the West has been waffling in the quicksand of political correctness and refuse to call a spade a spade."
Perhaps this is a start to how we can eventually defeat Islamic terrorism. We aren't going to do it by simply expressing our anger and only do what Trump promised: "I will bomb the shit out of them."
Yes, if we bomb them, then we ought to bomb the shit out of them and stop playing PC games with our rules of engagement. It prolongs war and increases the body count.
But I believe we need to show potential ISIS recruits and their ilk, dead jihadists, torn apart or burned to a crisp from our weapons. We need to make a horrible display, like they do whenever they behead one of our own, by being as graphic as they are. This is the reality they need to witness that might make them think twice before they go all 'guns n glory' on us.
In other words, we need to use shock and awe that will show them what losers they are.
