Breaking the Cycle of the "Hate and Kill" Indoctrination

The sure way to successfully put an end to world terrorism is through education, a dialogue of ideas which offer youth an opportunity that is more attractive than the path of the suicide bomber. Weak or young minds are easily convinced (aka "brainwashed") that martyrdom in the name of Allah is the enlightened path to Heaven. This indoctrination will continue long after the coalition leaves the Middle East.

Although I support President's Bush decision to go to war in Iraq, I believe that war alone will accomplish little. It's the bandaid solution. The ONLY solution to breaking the cycle of this "Hate and Kill" indoctrination currently taking place in Muslim schools worldwide is through outreach and education.

Muslims schools are breeding young militants. There are new graduates every day everywhere willing to kill themselves even if it means killing their own. Do a search on Google for "muslim schools hate." The documentation is plentiful, the discovery frightening.

These kids are being taught to sacrific themselves in name of religion.

Forward-thinking, freedom-loving Muslims, like Nonie Darwish, must be the ones to initiate and lead this cause, not Westerners. Forward-thinking, freedom-loving muslims have a responsibility, for the survival of their people and communities, to instill a tolerance and acceptance that is virtually non-existent in the Muslim community. Forward-thinking, freedom-loving Muslims must act now. We are seeing what inactivity and ignorance are doing to the Middle East. Just look at Palestine and Israel. Their war has no end in sight as long as the indoctrination continues. More will die, furthering the destructive cycle.

We kill terrorists today, only to fight more tomorrow. Terrorists are expendable, and are easily replaced with new recruits. We, all forward-thinking, freedom-loving people must work towards ending this vicious cycle. Ideas filled with hope and prosperity that freedom offers will combat the destructive teachings prevalent in many Muslim schools and circles.
