Which you think was due to US foreign affairs. But the USA's very first such foreign affair was against the Barbary pirates, and it didn't lead to terrorism then. All those years of French & British military action and occupation in the Near East starting in the 19th Century didn't lead to terror in France or Britain. > I would encourage that our government, and especially individual citizens, > to publicly condemn Islam devoutly followed.

Have you ever heard of a case in which outsiders' in gov't or the private sector condemning of someone's religion has led to changes in that religion? > Muslims that will not compromise on at least the small list given above, > should be treated similarly to the way America treated activist Nazis between > December 1941 and May 1945 that desired to destroy our way of life. Like that had any effect on Nazism??! Or like any such change in American Nazism or American Islam would have any effect on the foreigners who were/are the real problem? Do you seriously think the Red scares of the early & middle 20th Century in the USA had any significant effect in getting the Iron Curtain to come down? They couldn't even root the Communists out of the Cabinet!
