#1 The argument should be changed to "Does Islam inspire terror or does it demand terror?"

This opens the door to addressing Islam not as a unified religion, which is isn't, but by its sects, and are they violent or non-violent.

Moslems then have a choice in how to present themselves. They may belong to a non-violent sect which accepts universal principals of non-violence, or they may belong to a sect that advocates, approves of, or accepts violence.

No longer is calling themselves "Moslem" an acceptable definition for the non-violent. They cannot stay in the same building as the violent, yet protest when the JDAM hits the building. Nor can they condone or excuse violence by those with whom they claim religious kinship.

They must either state that their sect is non-violent when they identify themselves, and roundly and completely condemn the violent sects, or they are complicit in violence and cannot pretend otherwise.

Once this is done, then the western world may say to the non-violent sects that they are welcome in the west, and that they may sit at our table and share with us our modernity, our prosperity, and our peace.

Conversely, we may then say to the violent sects that they are no longer welcome in our world, that they are outcasts, uncivilized and brutal, and that they deserve neither respect nor consideration.

They are not our equals, they are our inferiors, as wild beasts in the field. And thus if they cannot make themselves behave, then they will be contained in cages or destroyed. We can no more tolerate their mischiefs than we could tolerate a family of babboons ravaging our house.

But again our emphasis must be on elevating those that are non-violent, yet demanding that with that respect, they cease fraternizing with those that seek only violence, destruction and vandalism.
