"past few decades"?

You need to get a grip and realise that your time on this earth only represents a small speck in time. Past few decades of battles and wars is no different to a few decades during the time when Mohammad and his merry men and those after him plundered and murdered, except for the fact that Mo has triggered and justified his actions on the so-called word of god.

And if you want to talk about 100+ wars and hits by the US in the past few decades, I'll trump you with 1000's of Islamic attacks in the last year or two.

What is at the core of the problem is a belief system that is non-compliant and does not give an inch.

You need to realise there is a great deal more to this than your seemingly insular perspective.

You need to go back and project forward, not just cherry pick the last few decades as your time slice of choice. You keep harping on about the reflex actions in response - some of which may well have been dramatic - but you completely ignore and refuse to even discuss the stimulus. For every action, there is a reaction. Mohammad and his action (the Quran) is where you need to go, but for some interesting reason, you don't want to go there...I wonder why?
