 I agree completely, but we certainly should judge the tiny minority of 
 wackos and do whatever we can to stop them.

 And I agree with that as well. The question is, what can we do to stop them? 
Wipe them off the face of the earth? Make being one of them so 
unattractive that no one else wants to be them?
 If they perceive themselves as being attacked by outside forces, they will 
 also perceive themselves as being righteous in resisting and fighting those 
 outside forces. But Islam demands that when they are no longer being 
 attacked, they MUST stop fighting. This doesn't necessarily mean that the 
 extremists *would* stop fighting, but it does mean that those who continued 
 in the face of no active enemies would lose virtually all of their support 
 within the Muslim world. This, then, would put the problem of Islamic 
 extremists where it belongs -- in the hands of the Faithful. 
This would work if only they didn't believe they are being attacked just 
by the fact of the US and Israels existence. They have said so many 
times. Our only out, according to them is for us to convert to Islam.
