#1 "Financial investments: As a result of freezes on funds and the designation of terrorist entities, Muslims have moved large amounts of capital out of the West and invested these either in their own countries or in other places around the world, such as East Asia."

Where we also invest heavily, BTW. I think East Asia is opening up as an interesting front. For East Asians, I worry; they are going to come under increasing pressures from Islamists in their midst.

#2 If by "east asians" you mean Chinese (et al), think again. Just look at what they do to relatively innocuous religions in Mao's Paradise. Islam's mad mullahs will get a short, sharp shock in China if they get too uppity. Bet on it.

#4 sorta like how the paleo election cinches the fact that Israel needs to unilaterally set the boundaries, build the wall, cut off infrastructure ties and say "eff you" to the paleos.

#5 When our children misbehave, they are sent to the stairs to sit alone, contemplate their transgression and compose themselves. Islam wants some stair time. Give it to them. And tell them not to come back until they are prepared to act in a civil fashion.

#6 Islam needs to be locked in the basement - the one where the lightbulbs don't work, spiders and such are everywhere, there's strange noises and whispers in the deep shadows, and Allah ain't there to help you...

oops...I was channelling my childhood...damn

#7 "For everyone's sake, it is important that Muslims begin more successfully to negotiate their path to modernity, not to isolation."

Why? So they can learn to build weapons as good as ours?
