How, really, to contain and defeat perverted and violent Islamic fundamentalism
The other would be to use as necessary the leverage they have to cause Israel to end its defiance of international law. The double standard of Western foreign policy which allows Israel to commit crimes with impunity is the cancer at the heart of international affairs. If it was cured a major cause of Arab and other Muslim hurt, humiliation and anger would be removed, and that would make closing the vast majority of Arab and other Muslim hearts and minds to PVIF propaganda a mission possible.
The above should not be taken to mean or imply that I have more than the smallest amount of hope that Western leaders will have the good sense to come to grips with the main causes of PVIF. I am only saying what I think could happen if they did.

Muslim states, like the United States, long have been fertile ground for extremism. The U.S. is responsible for the 21st century outbreak of Islamic extremism by having invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. Bush and Cheney are the architects of Islamic extremism, and both should be arrested, tried and given the most extreme available punishment. That would demonstrate to the Middle East that we might at last be coming to our senses.

Muslim extremism has been harnessed by the US, the puppet of the real behind-the-scene puppeteers, as far back as the mid 194Os, by funding the Muslim Brotherhood and later creating, training and funding the Mujahideen to dislodge the Soviets out Afghanistan in collaboration with the Taliban. The Saudis have always been helpful in such enterprises because their material wealth came from oil revenues generated by US oil companies and were happy to go along with US diktats. Incidentally. the Saudi ruling family, whose roots are not anchored in Islam, are possibly a bunch of ‘sayanims’. So, whichever way one looks, always cherchez the masters of Zionism! Besides, it is now almost common knowledge that ISIS is an agent of Israel and their videos are produced in Hollywood!

Mr. Hart, have you ever wondered why the so-called “Islamic fundamentalists” never carry their “jihad” against Western, Israel or Hindu interests? Their major victims are always fellow Muslims and non-Muslim minorities living in Muslim nation-states.
According to FBI report, between 1990 and 2004 – 87% of terrorist activities against American interests were carried out by Christians and atheist followed by Jewish extremists (7%) and Muslim “fundamentalists” (6%).
If following the five basic principles of Islam makes a Muslim “Fundamentalist” or “Radical” – I’m proud to be a “radical” Muslim.

I wish to add that if one is to believe the report at:

It looks like the RAF have joined the ranks of radicalized Muslims too!
