Repressing political Islam, or attempting to “erase” Islamists militarily with total disregard for national political processes (not to mention human life), is not the answer, because it won’t persuade electorates to turn away from Islamist movements. The efforts of reformist governments in the region to integrate such movements into the public sphere have been dealt a severe blow.
当然，这需要它们彻底放弃通过武力来获得权力。压制政治伊斯兰教，或不顾国家政治进程（更别说人命），企图以武力“铲除”伊斯兰主义者都不是解决问题的方式。因为这不能说服选民离弃伊斯兰主义运动。这一地区的改革派政府将这些运动整合到公共领域的努力遭受了沉重的打击。
