Dealing with Militant Jihad

What follows is a policy to deal with militant jihad. This policy comes from Robert Spencer's 2006 book The Truth about Muhammad. His statements are in bold face. The comments afterword are mine.

• Stop insisting that Islam is a religion of peace. According to the The Religion of Peace web site, Islamofacists have carried out more than 8,259 terrorists attacks since 9/11. If you think the Iraq War is the cause of most of these attacks then what caused 9/11? Or the bombing of the Twin Towers in the 90's? Or why did Muslim extremists kill two Buddhists one of which was a 70 year old man in Yala, Thailand on May 7 of this year. As far as I know Thailand does not have any troops in Iraq. Then today in the same country a hospital worker and a father were murdered by jihadists. I could go on, but you get the point. To be fair there are traditional Muslims like the Sufi who translate jihad to be a personal spiritual struggle instead of a holy war. But fundamentalist Muslims do not treat modern and traditional Muslims as true believers. And by the way the word Islam means "to submit."
• Initiate a full-scale Manhattan Project to find new energy sources. Or find more domestic oil in America and use that. The problem is that there is not enough refineries and the ones America has is getting old. The oil companies make money by not keeping the existing refineries in shape--they control the supply that way, and environmental extremists don't want any new oil refineries because it supposedly hurts the environment. So, the consumer gets squeezed in the middle. As Pip Coburn in his book The Change Function states, consumers won't change to a new technology unless their user crises of the current technology is greater than the perceived pain of adoption of a new technology. In this case the current technology is gasoline and other petroleum products and the new technology is an alternative fuel. The user crises here is oil producing countries that support militant Islam.
• Make Western aid contingent upon renunciation of the jihad ideology. This pressure would have to come from the U.N. preferably. But if not then NATO. The more nations that would do this the stronger the pressure would be. America can not be alone in this pressure. I hope to God that nations wake up to what is going on with the militant Islamists. It was almost too late when the world finally stopped Nazism.
• Call upon American Muslim advocacy groups to work against the jihad ideology. Not just American Muslim groups but Muslim groups everywhere in the world. This is going to be tough for non-militant Muslim groups in other parts of the world because the Islamofacists persecute and even kill Muslims who speak out against these jihadists. Muslims who see this persecution become scared and become what Natan Sharansky called double-thinkers. People who don't like what is going on but are too scared to speak out or to do anything about the situation. Double-thinking mainly happens in autocratic oppressive countries. Natan Sharansky should know what he's talking about. He lived in the now defunct Soviet Union. That is why I think it is important for Muslims in democratic countries should denounce radical Islam ideology. The Rand Corporation thinks that non-militant Jihadists in Western countries should form alliances or networks. Mainly the secularists, liberal Muslims, moderate traditionalists, and some Sufis should form these networks. I suggest the reader read the summary at least of the article. You might find it interesting. Denoucing militant Islam has got to start somewhere and denunciation means more coming from another Muslim who can do it without fear.
• Revise immigration policies with the jihad ideology in view. Some people might think this is racism. It is not. Anyone can be a militant Muslim. Basically, the author thinks Western nations should ask hard questions about the applicant's views of features of Western societies that is challenged by elements of Muhammad's teachings and Islamic law. The applicant could lie but any Muslim that takes a militant view would have to think twice about committing a terrorist act.
