4. The West should stop supporting dictators who murder Muslims across
the middle East and Central Asia for strategic reasons and for oil. Dictators who wouldn't have been there had we not backed them (including Egypt) The West should stop invading Muslim countries and stealing their resources killing tens of thousands of them in the process. The West should not have its troops based across Muslim holy lands in the Middle East humiliating sections of the population. The West should stop its unwavering support for the treatment of the Palestinians at the hands of the Israelis. the west should stop demonising Islam and Muslims in popular culture. (And this is not to mention Christian fundamentalists drooling for a new crusade).

The West should do all this not in appeasement of the Terrorists but becausae its the right thing to do.

A by product of this right thing to do is that far less young, (either disaffected and poor, or highly educated and alienated), Muslims would be driven to terrorism due to the lack of any ideological drive and persuasion by the nutters.

= Less dead people
