"Peaceful" solutions are a first rate idea Donuel.

The ones I can think of are -- financial suffocation or starvation, concentrated alliance-building to starve them into a more amenable frame of mind (the question of who's "them" aside for the moment, a series of intense PR campaigns designed to seed the whole nation of Islam with unrest -- one, for example, fomenting a feminism movement, and one to foment the adamant and vociferous demand that the religous face if Islam be preserved from contamination by being divorced from the secular -- let's see, what other "peaceful" solutions could we come up with? Maybe we could send in waves and waves of trained pickpockets and smugglers to steal all their munitions and their boxcutters, too. Oh! Information war -- we could penetrate their networks with a combination of HUMINT and ELECINT and gradually identify and completely trash the repute and financial standing of anyone involved by trashing his accounts and starting wild black PR campaigns about his relationships with young animals...or some such.

We could smuggle Tasers and pepper gas to all the wives and mothers of Islam to use in self defense.

We could cut off all oil shipments into the... nah, never mind. Maybe we could send SOF ops in to ruin their refineries so they would have nothing but crude, which we would continue to buy, and process Stateside.

We could probably dream up all kinds of horribly embarassing circumstances that would be completely unmanning to a devout Muslim, and set them up to happen. The old naked at a cocktail party routine.

We could penetrate all their intell lines and flood them with false data until nothing they said could be trusted.

Y'know, you're right, Donuel!! I like this peaceful stuff!!
