Agreed. It's an ideological issue. Bullets and bombs will only stop the current extremists, but they won't stop the ones that will continue to join extremist groups each day from now until possibly the end of time.



I don't dismiss Islam as being their excuse, and for some their belief. But to connect the two as a causation (which is exactly what has been done every time the connection is made) is false. Sure, radical views is a causation, misinterpretation/radical interpretation is a causation, but Islam is not. That's like saying Christianity is the cause of the KKK because the KKK justified their sick beliefs based on Christianity. Ignoring their beliefs is wrong, since it's an ideological battle, but so is overgeneralizing, which is exactly what I was pointing out when I said Islam is not to blame; because it isn't.

I will look up Wahhabism, though. Thanks for the homework.
