I am impressed by IQ's and Ted's reaction to my comments for they have touched on the core issue of the probem.

The Muslim nostalgia for good old victories has been replaced by a violent reaction towards all who do not share their views. They are so fascinated by this new violent approach that they refuse to consider any other alternative.

HOW CAN WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO INNOVATE AND ABANDON TERRORISM?

I doubt that bribing them is the answer, rather show an apreciation for anything GOOD they do, command them on a good action and stop condemning them, invite them to join our free world. Granted the Olympics is such an event but sadly they do not perform and thus do not get any recognition. Let us concentrate on heir good actions and capitalize on them. Let us show that we accept them and do something different for so far we have not succeeded in converting them to our values
