Your hope to civilize Islam is admirable, if a bit optimistic. Meanwhile what should be policy towards private contributions of money to terrorists by Muslims who do not participate in violence themselves and in their hate propaganda attacking both Israel and the USA? Furthermore, what should be the policy towards "collateral damage," the killing of more or less innocent civilians and destruction of their property when attacking clear enemies?
