The key to defeating radical Islam is to strangle it with love, beauty, scholarship, education, freedom, non-violence and kindness. The pipeline that feeds terrorism needs to be blocked and opposed at every point possible. Translate tasteful western movies into Arabic and send free DVDs to people, translate the works of geat philosophers into Arabic and distribute them in Arab capitals. Make videos of free women without Hijab and Burqas and show them to Muslim women in Islamic villages. Show family albums with one man and one wife as a contrast to the family allowed in the book to Islamic life. Fundamentalists are working with principles that are destined to fail. We just need to awaken the people: one thought at a time.
