&gt; I appreciate from your other comments that your views are nuanced, but posting something this glib about something this horrific crosses the line here.<p>Here&#x27;s the thing.  Eventually, Islamic extremism WILL disappear.  Today, tomorrow, or in 100 years.  The only question is how that happens.<p>My wife is Muslim (and dark-skinned).  I married her in an Islamic ceremony (meaning I became Muslim, at least in the eyes of some Islamic authority). Her family all have Muslim names.  Our children will be visibly non-white.<p>We&#x27;re also secular, and like to do secular things.  I&#x27;d love to go to Europe with her, we both have family there, and I&#x27;d love for the world to be a place where she isn&#x27;t discriminated against (and she HAS experienced racism here, in Canada), either by the state, by ignorant red-necks, or by other Muslims.<p>The fact is, every time terrorist attacks happen, she feels it.  The looks at work, the comments on Facebook.  I don&#x27;t remember people talking about &#x27;deporting all the Muslims&#x27; in Canada until very recently.  We (as in myself, my wife and family) have a stake in this.  She didn&#x27;t choose to be Muslim, but she does suffer consequences today.  And she knows it can get worse.  Some of her family have converted to another religion and changed their names - she&#x27;s considered it as well.  It would be nice if abandoning your birth identity wasn&#x27;t something you even had to consider.<p>Anyhow, either extremism is rooted out now, or it&#x27;ll be rooted out later.  It&#x27;ll likely be more painful later...
