I agree completely, but you can't put this genie back in the bottle. What is your solution given the current status quo? Say that we leave them to themselves.

I agree completely, but you can't put this genie back in the bottle. What is your solution given the current status quo? Say that we leave them to themselves. The USA abandons all of its based on "Muslim lands". They decide to leave us in peace after we apologise profusely and offer reparations for the damage we've done? They aren't doing this for retribution for our acts in the middle East. You've missed the point of ISIS. They want all non-Muslims who don't want Sharia Law dead. Attacking us is designed to provoke us to alienate the "grey zone" Muslims who have integrated in the west and are moderate, sensible and peaceful. If those moderates don't join IS then they are going to also get killed. These guys are following an "actual" prophesy. They are trying to make it come true. Check out the wikileaks article via my tweet earlier and you'll realise that we have very little chance of preventing further terrorist attacks assuming we continue our current course. Leaving the Muslim lands and making reparations is not going to help the situation at all. It may help or children's children, but it won't solve the "now" problem.
