Alternatives to terrorism

[Sarmatian]

Ghandi. Persistent, non-volent, civil disobedience.

Or self-immolating monks (or the equivalent).

That's two I can think of that I've seen work in the past.

Non-violent civil disobedience did work in the past, but it was in the situation where you try to change your government, not government of another country. Indians protested against foreign (British) rule, but they protested against British rule in India, not British rule in Britain.

What is it about Western Nations that the Middle East would like to resist so much that they would contemplate the use of military force?
Support for Israel - yes western support is one reason why the nation of israel still exists
Invasion of Afghan - did neighbouring countries deal with al-quada, no they did not
Invasion of Iraq - are 'they' really annoyed that we removed a belligerant dictator
Dependance on oil - so they have something to sell that we need to buy
Cultural interference - no culture exists in isolation, outlook poor for those that try to impose stasis
Political interference - we have propped up bad regimes, and brought them down, but they were their bad regimes
I don't have much sympathy in short.

Well in this particular instance I don't want to focus on why are they resisting but on the fact that they are resisting, and what can be done to stop terrorism as a way of resistance. It's a more pressing concern. And whatever the reason, both sides probably won't change their policies in foreseeable future...

Do you refuse to believe: "that some religions (in this case Islam) is more prone to fundamentalists and radicals in comparison to other religions."?

Are, not is, sorry. Yes, I do. It's a matter of interpretation and if you want, you can find in both the Bible and Quran excuses to kill infidels. The point is why those who choose to interpret Quran in a way to support their crimes get so many followers.
