So, Slave, what is your preferred policy choice here? It is Us vs. Them, you know.

Treat them like kids. Use reverse psychology. Ignore the fuckers. The hyper-religious are childlike. The more you tell them they're wrong, the more they'll fight you. Do what the Indians did last month... a day after a massive terrorist bombing, they went back to work. We should stop hand wringing and crying about everything and develop a stiff upper lip. Tell them candidly, "You're going to get a few us now and again. We know we'll have more 9/11s, but our way of life will continue, and spread. You can join us or tilt at windmills. Whatever you like..."
Saying we're "pushing Democracy" is the wrong message. The better message would be "You can't stop it. Your kids will be westernized. Look at China and India."
