Nope, this won't work with the followers of muhammed. In fact, we already tried that once, no, twice before.
Doesn't work. You're attempting a "military response" to a problem that transcends the ability of any military on earth to conquer it, including ours.
I'll give you an anecdotal story. Probably don't mean nuthin', I ain't that smart:
Down in my backyard, there are a couple of old apple trees.
The apples aren't good for eating, and each autumn they fall to the ground, and I have to clean them up and throw them against the fence.
I can get rid of every one of them that fall this year -- but NEXT YEAR, they'll be right back there, and I'll have to do it all over again.
There's one way I can assure that I'll never have to clean up those apples again.
That is to say, cut down the trees from which they fall.
Now, told you that to tell you this:
The "terrorists" of today are but a few of this year's crop of bad apples. Makes no difference if we get rid of every one of them, even with extreme prejudice.
They will soon be back again.
If we want to forever get rid of of islam's bad apples, what must we do to "the tree" from which they fall?
