With so much at stake & everything going on in the world...

No, I don't want to kill them all (how did you even get this idea?). Keeping them away from western Countries is good enough.

I'm bored of this argument. Burn as many religous texts as you want mate, spend your time rounding up people that have settled in your country and kick them out, good luck.

For the record it is much, much, much easier to exterminate the population of a country (or a continent, or a planet) than it is to conquer and subdue a population, which is what they've effectively been trying to do in Afghanistan for the past decade.

Both of those types of action are, of course, stupid. No argument there.
