I find anyone who would actually resort to the actions these terrorists takes to be people that no amount of convincing will work. So the best thing to do is make it sure they don't hurt anyone else.

'civilised/nations and people' ARE debating the killing of innocents in iraq btw.

There is no debate. The civillians aren't the intended targets, and nobody thinks its good that they die. You can't say the same about terrorists and their mindset/tactics.

Islamic Leaders Condemn the Bombing
footnote: it should be noted that al qardawi and tantawi are considered the highest and most respected and well known scholars in the islamic world today.

I'll bow to your knowledge about the islamic community on this, and say that anything I said about muslim org's and leaders not condemning these recent attacks was wrong. I also think it would help if statements like these were brought to the attention of more people, as it would probably (hopefully) lessen some of the anti-muslim sentiment found in the US.
