dong20, I'm glad that you mentioned "the Klan". Because there's a big difference between how USA dealt with the KKK and how the Islamic world deals with their radical groups.
As you may know, the FBI heavily infiltrated the KKK and some of the tactics are illegal today. The FBI essentially destroyed KKK. It still exists, but a shell of what it was, and the FBI still watches them. Books have been written about how it was done. Today I'd say most Americans would approve of what the FBI did, perhaps even approve of the now illegal stuff.
Timothy McVeigh is an example of an American terrorist. He built and set off the bomb in Oklahoma City. But he had to face consequences: some medicine known as lethal injection. He got what he deserved. I'd say most Americans would concur.
When I look at the Islamic world and how they're handling their radicals, I see mostly apathy. Particularly from in the public. And that's being polite ... very polite. Someday they may get ballsy enough to go after their own radicals in a big way. Saudi Arabia has started to, but it's only a start. Until the Islamic world goes after their radicals, I will hold a low opinion of them, collectively. By "go after" I mean aggressive official action with majority backing from their public. I don't expect to see that anytime soon.
Imagine a whole society on super-welfare. That's Saudi Arabia. Nobody has earned anything, ever. It's all been handed to them by an accident of birth, geography and politics.They have an air force with F16s but nobody to fly them if they are attacked. When one of the royal princes makes a foray into actively managing and learning investment it makes world headlines. The handouts are handled by the members of the most bloodthirsty of the turn of the century clans (House of Saud) to an ever growing and more ungrateful populace. It's a nation of dependent,savage forever man-children at the heart and soul of what it means to be a muslim. You can go to University in Saudi Arabia and instead of learning about the world or science, you learn about contempt for all who make things or do good in this world and why your profane religion makes you worthy of divine handouts from the hand of the Murder-Rape and plunder god of Mohammed forever.
Cheers !
