Well, I'm sure the overwhelming majority of blacks were against being shat upon on a daily basis by the old apartheid gov't of South Africa, but it still took decades to get rid of those racist bastards... The people themselves were the ones being directly oppressed, murdered, etc., and there was still no bloody uprising. I don't know the psychological background for it, but it seems there's not much precedent for generally peacable people getting up in arms to kick out violently oppressive governments. I don't see any reason to expect that to be different in Muslim nations...

I should add: nothing less than absolute scorn from "moderate" Muslims -- as we now view Nazis or the KKK -- will suffice.

Anderson,

They could begin by dropping a dime on the radicals if they're in this country or one that's fighting for its life -- say, Iraq. Or they could band together and kill the bastards if they're living in the likes of, say, Somalia. We need something that demonstrates sincerity.

Your last part doesn't make much sense as stated. Even if, say, 75% of Muslims in a given country loathe terrorists, that leaves 25% to shelter & honor them, which is plenty--I would guess 1% would be plenty. Please elucidate?
