Islamic terrorism is a deadly enemy that will not give up or give in, so the only way is to defeat them by using a two prongued attack:
- Destroy their ideology, by taking Mecca and Medina out of the picture. Such a destruction will show them that their god doesn't really exists, since he cannot defend their own holy places, thus demoralizing their followship.
- Support secularism in the Muslim world. Since Islam is not capable of modernizing like other religions did in the 20th century, then Islam have to be eliminated, by making the Muslim world secular, eliminating the power of the religious factions and their hold on education, culture, etc.

Ok, take the same basic statement, only modify a few nouns, and see what you get:

Americanism and Westernism is a deadly enemy that will not give up or give in, so the only way is to defeat them by using a two prongued attack:
- Destroy their ideology, by taking New York and Los Angeles out of the picture. Such a destruction will show them that their god (the dollar) doesn't really exists, since he cannot defend their own holy (financial) places, thus demoralizing their followship.
- Support Islam in the infidel world. Since Western ideology is not capable of worshiping Allah, then infidels have to be eliminated, by making the Western world Moslem, eliminating the power of the heathen factions and their hold on education, culture, etc.

And so I ask, your position is different from that of the radical Islamic terrorists, how? As shown above, your statement can faily easily be converted to the mission put forth by various terrorist Groups by simply changing a few words around. So sure, it is possible that your "solution" will eliminate radical Islamic terrorism... but is it really worth it? and what if it has the opposite affect of polarizing the two sides even further, launching everyone into a Third World War?
No, eliminating is not the answer. If we are to fight this "war on terror", then it must be done without ourselves turning into the very ones we are fighting.
