#1 After reading this I visualize a cell cluster metasticizing into a malignant tumor. I recommend radiation treatments in the 2,000 - 5,000 rad range.

#2 "the vast majority of boys who joined radical Islamists were runaways. Sixty percent were school dropouts. "

I hope this doesnt put me in the idiotarian camp but doesnt this suggest some alternative, or at least complementary strategies?

#3 LH--Sounds sensible to me. Like the SF letter from a couple days ago mentioned, the kids in Iraq where he's at are in school 10 hours/day now and not subjected to the rantings and ravings of the imams now. Without something to do or a sense of belonging, kids will gravitate to whatever offers them a chance to be part of something, and we should offer them that in a postive way.

#4 LH: I think we ought to spend three yankee dollars for every Saudi dollar to fund secular schooling and non-wahhabi/salafi/deobandi mosques. I've never been against using carrots. Only when you use the stick, you _use_ it.

#6 Islam, Religion of Peace or Death Cult? "By their actions you shall know them". When are CAIR, et.al. going to stop playing the victim card and clean up their own act if they want acceptance?

#7 thousands of impoverished Pakistani youths are enrolling for âjehadâ in places like Jammu and Kashmir and Afghanistan

Hmm. Not Iraq?

These "kids" are heading to places with softer targets, not to where there's a chance they'll be sent to Gitmo.

#8 One reason they might not be in Iraq is not being able to speak the local language, whereas Pakistani Pashtuns would have no such trouble in Afghanistan, and Pakistani Punjabis would have little trouble in Kashmir because of similar dialects spoken.
