It's an ideology that needs to be delegitimized. Delegitimized among its own adherents and potential adherents.

I wonder if the Japs thought that after we dropped the first bomb..."they cant kill us all".
I think think the willingness to kill them all will prevent exactly that, cause its sure as hell is the goal of radical Islam isnt it? Die or convert, no in between.

It was the Japanese. From 1896 through the end of WWII, Japan was arguably the most racist, violent, and devout population on the planet. And we didn't make fun of their religion to beat them. We didn't delegitimize their cause to beat them. We didn't try to make them think they weren't part of the cool kids club.

We bombed and burned and shot and stabbed the shit out of them at every turn, and that's what won the day. Brute force and extreme violence. We didn't exterminate them. But we killed enough of them fast enough to make the rest of them believe we could and would if necessary.

That's what beat religious/political extremism in the past; and it would work today too.

Very well-said!

Do you mind if I snag that and repost it elsewhere?

I think the answer is quiet assassination squads and pre-emptive contracts.

When you find fire ants in the yard, you don't use just enough Andro to contain them, you go with the big jar and you enough to wipe them out.

Shit. I guess I was wrong. You can't kill them all. Hugs work better. These guys OBVIOUSLY thought about how it made their legitimacy look before they acted.

Much better to do nothing as we don't want to make more terrorists. It's a good thing we can hug it out with them.

They seem reasonable, right? Forever what was I thinking. Oh, someone will point out that there is no known link to Muslims, or I'm sure that a couple of posters will be deeply searching to find what their motivations were. I'm sure this was another case of the Amish at work.

Folks, either wake up, or die beside these victims. It's your choice. Choose wisely.

You can play cute little games "Oh you can't kill them all" or the like, but at the end of the day if you don't get by what is meant by the "kill them all" mentality, you already have the mindset to lose, and enjoy getting lit on fire, drowned in a cage, or bombed at a public event. I'm tired of worrying about people's feelings on this matter. It seems to be the same mindset I've seen by many in training who are faced with a suicide bomber. They try to negotiate out the bombers deepest desires. The bomber then blows them all up. The guys who win are the ones that roll in, see the situation, and shoot him a bunch in the face. Too many people in this thread see to be in hopes that the terrorists kill them last because they are trying to be tolerant.

Kill them all.

Expose/brand them for what they are, make this the commonly-accepted understanding, then apply the Paul Kersey approach. (Kersey: "they're like cockroaches, if you don't get them all, what's the point?").

The jihadis:

• Breed like cockroaches
  
• Foul everything they touch
  
• Have no redeeming value
