That&#x27;s dangerous.<p>There are no choices available here that aren&#x27;t extremely dangerous. None. Least of all the cookie-cutter &#x27;war hawk&#x27; attitudes that got us into this mess in the first place.<p>Personally my suspicion is that ignoring them is probably the least dangerous. ISIS is an organisation that feeds on radicalisation, it feeds on aggression. Aggression is its recruiting tool.<p>Build a mosque. Build a mosque so f%cking huge and beautiful that even hearing about it makes ISIS fighters weep.<p>Change the music and all this will be over in a few years. Feed the war machine and we&#x27;re here for another generation <i>at least</i>.
