It would be immoral to kill every Muslim who held their traditional view of the world. It is also hard to change a persons beliefs.
The logical solution is to not allow countries like Iran to gain the ability to harm us. Likewise when a terrorist group attacks like Hezbolah the response must be swift and deadly. Israel shouldn't stop until there are no rockets left in Lebanon. The Islamic world should not be able to claim any victories without also seeing a devastating cost. Lastly, we should use whatever economic and political pressure we can to encourage these countries to move to wards freedom of religion and speech. Free and open dialogue is the only way to reach men's hearts.

Oh thats bright.
So they should just keep bombing and bombing the sh*t out of innocent people and their homes just on the off chance their might be a few rockets destroyed in the process?
As for "these countries" what countries are you talking about? Maybe you dont know much about the middle east or Lebanon in general but it happens to be a free Democratic country. When you say freedom of religion i know what your getting at though. You dont believe that Islam is a legitimate religion and it should be christianity or bust right? I've got news for you pal 30% of Lebanese citizens ARE Christians.

You call that no religous freedom?
I have read this thread and I know your just skirting around the fact that you do in fact believe Islam in its entirty is wrong and that Isreal should "keep going". Try looking at things from both sides before jumping to rash generalizations.
