War on radical wahhabism or wahhabists

Why are people afraid of saying wahhabism or Salafism? You should know your enemy and say so. If someone like Fareed Zakaria is an example of a muslim, I wouldn't think of him as the enemy. We are in a religious war and yet we are using military force as the main tactic to overcome a religion. I believe we should confront the problem by challenging the certitude of the existence of any god of any religion.

I think the vast majority of the people on this planet would agree that they cannot prove God empirically and would unite to face down any people that refuse to put fact ahead of faith. It is time for those who don't KNOW THEY DON'T KNOW to learn that no one knows and that they are giving up their lives here in a real world in order to live in a world they have been brain-washed into believing actually exists without proof.
