So you're saying that terrorism would end if we stopped calling muslims terrorists?
No, that's only one part of it. As I said in the OP, terrorism dies when we stop being afraid of it. Once we as a nation aren't afraid of terrorism, their power over us is gone.
The war on terror is fake. The terrs are paid mercs doing the bidding of the west that wants to make Assad go, i.e., make one more regime change to one more Middle Eastern country.
Once you know that, what a false flag is and somehow be able to disconnect your emotions form all the beheadings, immolation and charred corpses, then you can go on about your business:
Earning and paying taxes so the gubment can keep running the war on terror.

"The war on terror is fake."
I would not say its completely fake but we certainly had a hand in creating said terrorist, ISIS, Taliban and there like.

"How to Stop Terrorism"
Impossible with the current generation our respective societies has helped shape and create.
But stopping our nonsensical bombing campaigns and drone attacks now might help retard the creation of the next generation. After all Its not like you can ever get them all in the one place at the one time, that's just not how terrorist cells operate.
Trumps take on the subject certainty does not help matters.

No other religion crafts extremism on a grand scale but Muslims. Beheadings, killing gays, killing adulterers. Calling anyone else who is not Muslim infidels, treating woman like trash. Then their reward of all these virgins. Ok, what about the women, do they get all these virgin men as well. I don't think so. A woman can't even travel by herself for more than a couple of days from what I have read. That is one messed up religion. No wonder they have so many problems. They also do not gel into western culture. A guy at work wanted to take 30 days off to do his Mecca cannon ball run. Yeah, my boss laughed. Nobody in the US gets 30 days of leave time consecutive. Then he asked for some special meal for the family day and never showed up. Insane. That is not going to work with US culture.

Thing is a more skilled opponent would have tore strips off Clinton in both debates, its not like she's squeaky clean herself, but Trump just ducked and dived any and all questions making any meaningful debate almost impossible.
Is this the end regarding the US democratic process seems to be a valid question when people such as Trump and Clinton are put forward for the position of POTUS.

We should start calling terrorist attacks "Joygasms" and refer to the homicidal zealots as "Happy pumpkin fairies"

Or just make a conscious decision to not talk about them at all and in effect take away the power to terrorize that they crave.

Ignoring a real problem and hoping it goes away on it's own has not been historically helpful.

I didn't mean ignore it completely, but maybe if we stopped broadcasting our fears as a nation to the rest of the world and everyone else it would take some of their psychological ammo away. They only win when we become as they are, and that's where the current thinking on terrorism is taking us.

I'd rather know its a danger, than be surprised while I'm drinking tea in Paris.

Who said we are afraid? our media?
I can't think of one person I know in the USA and Canada that is afraid of terrorism.
Fact is we are more afraid of our own govs than terrorism, says a lot.
