...America paid & will still pay a great great price for its religous tolerance..ignoring the danger of the growth of militant Islam in the world..the terrorist attacks against American interests since the early sixties..Neither appeasement nor dialogue will be the right medication..I see several main ways to fight Islamist Terror:
1- A ceaseless, well-planned & extremely decent cultural campaign showing the bad image of militant Islamic beliefs..this should be implemented through different media..(papers,magazines, TV,Radio, Internet, schools..etc).
2-More surveillence of moslems in sensitive positions, in their different activities..on their other activities (transferring money, having contacts with extremists..)
3-Immigration laws should be more stringent..letting people from the middle east in will allow for more terror to come in...
