Seems to me the point is going to be lost on the radicals. They openly promote the elimination of government and encourage the Islamic leaders to take control of state affairs.
From my Al Qaeda training manual:
After the fall of our orthodox caliphates on March 3, 1924 and after expelling the colonialists, our Islamic nation was afflicted with apostate rulers who took over in the Moslem nation. These rulers turned out to be more infidel and criminal than the colonialists themselves. Moslems have endured all kinds of harm, oppression, and torture at their hands.
Those apostate rulers threw thousands of the Haraka Al-Islamyia (Islamic Movement) youth in gloomy jails and detention centers that were equipped with the most modern torture devices and [manned with] experts in oppression and torture. Those youth had refused to move in the rulers’ orbit, obscure matters to the youth, and oppose the idea of rebelling against the rulers. But they [the rulers] did not stop there; they started to fragment the essence of the Islamic nation by trying to eradicate its Moslem identity.
Thus, they started spreading godless and atheistic views among the youth. We found some that claimed that socialism was from Islam, democracy was the [religious] council, and the prophet - God bless and keep him - propagandized communism.
Colonialism and its followers, the apostate rulers, then started to openly erect crusader centers, societies, and organizations like Masonic Lodges, Lions and Rotary clubs, and foreign schools. They aimed at producing a wasted generation that pursued everything that is western and produced rulers, ministers, leaders, physicians, engineers, businessmen, politicians, journalists, and information specialists.
[Koranic verse:] “And Allah’s enemies plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.”
They [the rulers] tried, using every means and [kind of] seduction, to produce a generation of young men that did not know [anything] except what they [the rulers] want, did not say except what they [the rulers] think about, did not live except according to their [the rulers’] way, and did not dress except in their [the rulers’] clothes. However, majestic Allah turned their deception back on them, as a large group of
those young men who were raised by them [the rulers] woke up from their sleep and returned to Allah, regretting and repenting.
The young men returning to Allah realized that Islam is not just performing rituals but a complete system: Religion and government, worship and Jihad [holy war], ethics and dealing with people, and the Koran and sword. The bitter situation that the nation has reached is a result of its divergence from Allah’s course and his righteous law for all places and times.
That [bitter situation] came about as a result of its children’s love for the world, their loathing of death, and their abandonment of Jihad [holy war]. Unbelief is still the same. It pushed Abou Jahl- may Allah
curse him - and Kureish’s valiant infidels to battle the prophet - God bless and keep him - and to torture his companions - may Allah’s grace be on them. It is the same unbelief that drove Sadat, Hosni Mubarak, Gadhafi, Hafez Assad, Saleh, Fahed - Allah’s curse be upon the non-believing leaders - and all the apostate Arab rulers to torture, kill, imprison, and torment Moslems. These young men realized that an Islamic government would never be established except by the bomb and rifle. Islam does not coincide or make a truce with unbelief, but rather confronts it. The confrontation that Islam calls for with these godless and apostate regimes, does not know Socratic debates, Platonic ideals nor Aristotelian diplomacy. But it knows the dialogue of bullets, the ideals of assassination, bombing, and destruction, and the diplomacy of the cannon and machine-gun.The young came to prepare themselves for Jihad [holy war], commanded by the majestic Allah’s order in the holy Koran. [Koranic verse:] “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies, and others besides whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know.”
This is how these guys think. There is only one law--Allah. There is only one government--Allah. And in their minds, there is only one way that the entire planet will be acceptable to Allah--stone age theocracy. And until they get it to that point, they feel duty bound to keep pounding away at whatever they feel is the best course of action. They figure their eternity is on the line, so what does it matter if it takes generations to get something done? That is why they beam with pride to see their kids strap on explosives and pick up rifles. They think that they are working towards a greater goal, and we are just a bunch of heathen rodents to be put down to make way for the new Islamic paradise on earth they are working towards. Death to them just means a fast track to the fun part.
Solution? Kill 'em. Find them, wax them. Simple. Be nice to the ones who aren't involved, get them on board with the business of living. For the radicals, there will be no talking with them. Despite what our culturally bias view of wanting to die is "crazy", they see it as dedication. Hell, I think I have seen rhetoric from one of the groups (Hezbollah I think) that made it seem like if you want to be living, you are the one with the perception problem. Couple to that the fact that they know us and our culture fifty times better than we (on average) know them, they understand when to back off, when to make soothing noises and when to exploit our weak, conciliatory western attitudes. People have to get their heads around the concept that you can kiss their maniacal arses till the sun goes down and that will not buy us one splinter of consideration or compassion from them. It would be like if a monkey with rabies handed you a flower. You might go "aw, that was nice of him", then you would still put a bullet in it's head and bury it, because that is what you feel you are required to do in the best interests of all parties involved [again, stressing that this is the radical take on the religion].
And I am also not so naive that I believe that there is only pure intentions behind Hamas and Hezbollah or even Al Qaeda. To be sure the guys at the top are living large, and are pretty business minded. But along with them and the zealot facilitators, they are the ones who need to be weeded out.
And all the UN jabbering in the world won't make it otherwise.
