Sitting here thinking about the latest attempt Muslims made to destroy a commercial airliner and murder everyone aboard, with whatever they were up to on the Northwest Airlines flight from Holland to Detroit, we’ve realized how easy it would actually be to solve terrorism if Western governments had any backbone — or if a Western, non-government, pan-national movement arose to counter Al Queda and other Muslim terrorist groups on its own.

Terrorism could actually be solved in one easy step, that should go something like this:

* every time Muslims attack an embassy, an airliner, a hotel, or any other Western target, a prominent mosque somewhere will be demolished.

* one such mosque will be leveled to the ground for every 100 people killed in any terrorist attack by a Muslim; since there were close to 300 people aboard the Northwest flight, if the Muslim terrorist aboard had been successful in his plot, that would have been 3 mosques somewhere in the world that would have been burned to the ground in retaliation.

* mosques in shopping centers or in the suburbs aren’t high-profile enough:  we’re talking these lunatics’ most holy, sacred sites…leading all the way up to the Dome of the Rock, Haggia Sophia, and all the sites in Mecca and Medina ultimately, if these people don’t get the message and stop hitting Western targets.

Currently, there’s no real downside for Muslims in blowing things up, aside from the loss of their lives.  It appears these suicide bombers are certifiably insane, believing they are going to be rewarded for their murder spress with scores of virgins and all the hummas and grapes they can eat in the afterlife.  The carrot Islam gives them is much, much greater than the stick they fear in terms of laying down their own lives.

But, we’ve been told that in Islam, it’s taught their sacred sites will never be destroyed, because Allah loves them all so much.  Taking out their mosques and the shrines in Mecca and Medina should definitely rattle them – since their Koran swears to them this would never happen.  So, once it happens, the Koran will be proved fallible.  If the Koran’s wrong about one thing, even the most zealous of these murderers has to see the Koran could be wrong about other things too — and those promises of scores of virgins as rewards for martyrdom might not be true either.

Would Muslims be so quick to bring down airliners if they knew doing so would mean three or four mosques somewhere would be smashed to bits in retaliation?

Would Muslims at large continue to tolerate, if not aid and abet, terrorists if mosques were destroyed every time terrorists struck?

Currently, there’s no real detriment to terrorism for these people.  It costs relatively little for them to carry out their terrorist attacks: the price of the weapons used, an airline ticket or two, whatever housing and food went to raise the terrorist bomber, and minimal logistical costs.  The costs to the airlines attacked are in the hundreds of millions, including not only the cost of the planes lost, the insurance claims from victims’ families, and other direct costs of the attack itself, but the lost revenue in the months afterwards when many would-be passengers are too afraid to fly.

For terrorism to stop, Muslims need to feel that financial smackdown, too.  They need to know, to a person, that when Muslims attack the West, that Muslims will lose the millions they’ve invested in these mosques worldwide, starting with the ones that have special meaning to them.

As special as all those dads and moms are to the children orphaned by Muslims.

As special as all those friends are to those who are left on the ground still trying to process that loss of life a decade later.

As special as everyone ever killed in a Muslim bombing truly is.

We lost a good friend on 9/11 named Jane, when Muslims hijacked planes and turned her office into a crime scene.  Another family friend died over Lockerbie, Scotland when Muslims took terror to the air in the 80s.

We want the West to fight back.  If governments won’t do this, then the marketplace demands an answer to Al Queda in the form of a new Knights Templar, or something of that sort.  Kind of an A-Team that’s summoned into action after a terrorist attack, doing what the US, Israel, and other political entities are seemingly prevented from doing by liberals.  It can be totally rogue, and governments can threaten its existence and despise all who are a part of it, but just imagine if Muslims feared a boogeyman out there just waiting to punish them for their evil deeds.

Like spoiled, evil children raising Hell with no fear of punishment, Muslims need to be afraid of something — there’s currently no effective “Wait ’till your father gets home”, when they really and truly do appear to need one.

Too bad there’s not a George Soros type radical billionaire out there on the side of good who can undermine Islam and Muslim terrorism the way these people are continuously and effectively undermining the West.
