Much is needed before considering all-out war

I agree with your premise that the motivation of Turkish and other Islamists is intractable, but strongly disagree that all-out war is a reasonable solution. The problem is not Muslims, or any particular group of Muslims. The problem is Islam. The first and most important step in dealing with this global problem is to broadcast the truth about Islam--that it is not a religion but rather it is an ideology of world conquest like Hitler's fascism and Stalin's communism. Only when freedom-loving people the world recognize Islam for what it is, they will not unite to fight against Islamists.
