I understand there are many forms of terrorism, but I am going to focus on Radical Islam, being it has quite a hold on the world right now, and is preying heavily on the worlds weakest and poorest.
No its not. It just appears that way on TV. You want to defeat terrorism, stop watching mainstream news on television.
You are not suggesting that terrorism and other problems of the world today are caused by something else, such as multinational corporations and banks are you?
All this sounds great for a tom Clancy novel or some great literature of epic proportions.
How about we start cutting their people's heads off, blowup a few of their stores, and be as ruthless and inhumane as them. I'm not saying it's the absolute solution, but we have done everything else. How about we save some money, send a few murderers on death row over with a machete?

I am afraid you are going to have to come up with another solution. This one has been done to death; hundreds of thousandths of deaths.
All you have to do is read any post, including this one, that has any content that may look, or sound, negative about the religion of Islam, and you will get the immediate, tit for tat response. It seems that many think by following your example, one action negates the the other, though the deadly and inhumane acts seem to grow exponentially. So I have to say the tactic you suggest is a humongous fail.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the solution for beating terrorism is to actually become terrorists ourselves and do to them exactly what they are doing to us?
Penal Military Units
Penal battalions, penal companies, etc., are military formations consisting of convicted persons for which military service in such units was either the assigned punishment or an alternative to imprisonment or capital punishment.
it's not religion. Holy war my arse. Money war is more like it.
First of all, you have to consider that originally the Foreign Legion was not composed by altar boys but by men who were mainly criminals and foreign runaways. Historically, the men composing the Legion have never been easy to handle, they were the disturbing elements of society. Though, being a soldier to a certain extent is to fit into a mold, to be formatted. There are different ways to reach this goal, to conduct this “necessary brainwash” but the one chosen by the French officers originally was to break these men using all means necessary.
its the Ameircan middle class consumer who purchases gasoline.
While they keep you looking at the US and the CIA the real culprit is Middle Eastern Big Oil.
More foreigners own American companies than Americans.
i dont understand this logic.. the worlds second largest religion has to have helping the poor part of it.. the definition of this just happens to be "missionary" work... just bc missionary or helping poor people is synonymous with christianity, thats no excuse for muslims elites to not do more for empoverished muslim children ... if they dont pick up woth helping the poor to curb terrorism.. its not simply bc christians do the same thing.. its another reason
