I totally agree with your argumentation, there are no simple solutions.

And that creates frustration and hate - not the best environment for searching good solutions to anything.

Why do we (the West) have to figure out how to appease this community? Should they be involved in cleaning their own house.
Maybe it wasn't your intent, but you've effectively absolved the perpetrators and blamed the victims.

This is becoming a world level issue. Not one country but most of the countries are getting affected by these morons. My prayers to all the families and May God give them the strength to come out of the grief that has struck them.![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Latest figures say 84 dead, 18 injured.

Bomb Mecca.
Each time such an atrocity takes place, the affected country should bomb Mecca, Medina and any other place holy to Islam.
Maybe they will stop then.
If not, repeat the medicine.

This is the most ridiculous statement I have seen. Why do you want to do that.
Statement like this inflames the situation.

Ridiculous - well not in a necessarily strategic sense.
A gorilla type army, particularly one that is highly dispersed, can go on indefinitely. The only way to really end such an insurgency is to attack the homeland to the extent that those sending them do not want any further damage as it is no longer worth the potential gains.
Daesh, for all practical purposes, doesn't have a homeland. Furthermore, losses to troops are not a concern (martyrdom and all that), even for the troops. So - without an 'homeland' or troops that can be demoralized, what do you do?
Attacks, such as in "everywhere", cannot be stopped directly. You need to hit the demoralizing option by whatever means. So - what shall it be?
Remember: The Taliban was planted in Pakistan by the Saudis, financed and raised, Daesh by Qatar, Hezbalah is a 'we didn't do it' proxy for Iraq. On and on.
So - what do you suggest we do? What will hurt enough to make them consider stopping? I've had some grizzly proposals of my own, but it's up to you.
What is the most moral route (if that's what you wish): How many lives (of innocent bystanders) are you willing to merely mourn? When do you work on prevention?
Your move.

That's not right, it would make us just as bad as them.
You can't condemn / attack an entire religion / people on the actions of a (relative) few.
It's the individuals that misuse the religion to get whatever they want, chaos, money, power, ...
It's those individuals we need to find and stop.
Every religion has it's radicals, yes at the moment the islam has the worst one's (maybe), but that doesn't mean that every moslim is bad.

They won't, and it most likely would have the opposite effect, more people would join the terrorist side.
And before you ask: I'm an atheist so I don't care about the religion part.

I reply only to this affirmation, as I don't agree with the proposed solution but this sentence always catches my attention.
I (and I speak only for myself) wish not to be better than them. I wish to be able to go on with my life without the fear of an idiot coming to kill as much as he/she can without even the self-preservation instinct that every animal possess.

Not that his idea is good, but being morally superior is useless. It's no more than an opinion, it has no real effect on the state of the world. The other side is morally superior too, if you ask them. So where does that leave us?

You seem not to understand.
There are no moderate Muslims.
There are only cowardly Muslims who keep their mouths shut when they hear hate speech about infidels, because they know they would be killed before the infidels if they should object.
So, bomb Islam's shrines to tell them that if they don't protest against hate speech/actions by fellow Muslims, there wouldn't be a Mecca for them to,turn towards, come prayer time.
I would go further. Give Muslims the same treatment Saudi Arabia gives non/Muslims: no mosques should be allowed and no gathering in private for worship either. They could live in the West exactly like minorities in Saudi Arabia live.
And off with their hands for stealing. If they want Sharia, they get Sharia in full force. Even if they don't want Sharia, they should get Sharia.

Well - with your pre-programmed anti-Obama burp, the "say something stupid" has already been taken care of.
Remember: Reagan traded arms for hostages. Bush II let the binLaden family flee/fly from the USA when everyone else was grounded - you've seen pictures of the Bushes (literally) holding hands with Saudi royalty (and kiss)[^].
You can be upset with what goes on in the US - but Obama didn't let the Koreans go nuclear. It took the money-hungry EU to close their eyes to Iran. And the GOP controlled House and Senate to make the last eight years the so amazingly unproductive.
Obama has a sh*tload of dirty laundry - but nothing compared to his opposition.

If you had been paying attention you would have noticed that I said it doesn't matter who's in charge, the American people are NOT what's important to politicians. They don't pass laws for the benefit of their constituents - they do it to gain more power and money at the EXPENSE of said constituents.
What happened with past presidents really is out of context. The one in charge right now is the one that's screwing the pooch, so that's the one I'm concentrating on. When the next president does something stupid, I'll harp on that as well.
