That's more or less how we got here in the first place. The tech isn't going away, and genocide is not a great way to make friends.

"It is better to be feared than to be loved, if you cannot be both."

Muslims are the primary victims of terrorists groups. They would be very happy to be rid of the likes of ISIS and Al Qaeda.

>That's more or less how we got here in the first place.

I don't agree. We got here because Western institutions and ideas were causing dramatic and rapid social change in the Muslim world, and inspired a violent counter-reaction.

They are also the primary denizens of these groups.

How much money does Saudi Arabia etc spend on combatting these groups again?
