/// would it not be better to address the radical Imams and deal with them, instead of persecuting an entire faith structure, which simply fuels the very radicalism everyone is trying to get rid of. ///
It is like a disease, yes one should try and get rid of the source, but that does not mean ignoring the victims of the disease, much better and safer for all to quarantine them from the rest of the community. //
Any faith can be seen as a 'disease' if you do not support it - and any human beings who worship in a way you think is alien can be reduced to the worth and status of animals.
God forbid I ever view any of my fellow humans in such cold and detached terms - and double God forbid that anyone who possesses such a cold and callous disregard for anyone on earth is ever in a position to put those views into any kind of action.
I think your view is appalling.
