When I read about these barbarians murdering men, women, and children in their bloodthirsty quest for absolute control of cities and countries, when I read about them stoning women, probably because the women won't pretend to find them attractive, I get tempted to think about all of the nuclear weapons we have that are collecting dust. That could certainly end these problems in the Middle East. Of course, it would also kill millions of innocent people.
I do believe sending our own military forces in to some of the areas can do some good, but it comes at a tremendous cost, and our bending over backwards to accommodate the Muslim religions leaves the people vulnerable for radicalization.
As far as I can figure, the best solution would be to flood the region with Christian missionaries.
I know that doesn't sound politically correct. I know a lot of atheists, non-Christians, and so-called Christians who are primarily Leftists think it wouldn't do any good, but I know it would. The more of the people there who make decisions to follow Christ, the better. Allowing people to practice Christianity openly, and convert to Christianity would make a difference. That would mean ending stonings. Christians haven't been warring with each other since things settled down in Ireland (and that was really political, not religious).
These missionaries would have to be somewhat armed for self-defense, of course, especially at first. Flooding the region with Christian missionaries, the Jesus film, and other outreach tools would make a difference.
And it would be better the nuking the whole place.
