There's always a "but..."
That dude in Orlando had a "mental problem." Why don't you put him in the same category?
His mental problem was Islamism.....your's is partisan liberalism and BDS

Andrea Yates killed her five kids while in a religion-fueled psychosis but nobody brought up the evils of Christianity to explain it.
She wasn't following a coherent yet perverse ideology either.

Lol. Always an excuse when it comes to anything-but-Islam.
The radicals would prefer we stay unengaged.
coherent and dedicated. This is Long War, better to recognize it, and treat it as suchShe wasn't following a coherent yet perverse ideology either.
Is that so?? Or would they rather we declare war on Islam?? That we deport, harass & extremely vet them??
Forcing them into the waiting arms of the all loving caliph??
Wanting to retaliate is a natural response but is that what is in the best interest of the USA??
A novel approach, so are you saying this is the first you have heard of it??Well, engaging in purposeful delusions about an enemy is a novel approach, I'll say that much lol.
And yeah, I think it's to their advantage the longer people stay deluded/disengaged. Though I get your point about retaliation: there's an element amongst the radicals that want us to declare war on Islam for their own propaganda purposes.
But the steeper downside is in the country lacking the political will to respond appropriately to the threat. Also, finally *officially* recognizing the existence of radical Islam provides a basis from which to confront their propaganda. The word propaganda is a polysyllabic term for a pack of lies.
Which is where effective leadership comes in. Our leaders should be able to communicate the fact we aren't at war with Islam but rather at war with an element within in Islam. Which is a fact whether we choose to recognize it or not.
Also, this would force/encourage moderate elements within Islam to better confront and marginalize their radicals---that is the ultimate answer, after all. Recently, 30,000 Muslims protested against Islamic terrorism.
When we start to see more of that, we'll know we're getting somewhere.
