If it is definitely proven that the very ideology of Islam (caliphate, jihad, shari'a) is inherently violent, where does the West go from there? Ibrahim Hooper states in this essay:
If all the present turmoil in the Middle East serves to establish some sort of caliphate, what will the West have to do to survive?
Mr. Ibrahim rightly points out in his essay:

Now What?
If it is definitely proven that the very ideology of Islam (caliphate, jihad, shari'a) is inherently violent, where does the West go from there? Ibrahim Hooper states in this essay:
The West, alarmingly, does not have a political history or language to justify an offensive against an ideological foe....We can speak the truth until our faces turn blue, but all that speaking is not action to curb the rise of the caliphate and shari'a law.
[...]
Now that Americans are becoming familiar with the perpetual and determined nature of its enemy — jihad, sharia, and the caliphate have a 1400-year legacy — who will take it to the next level by, not just highlighting the threat, but openly and boldly suggesting what steps the West needs to take to combat it, now and for the long haul? Where do you go from there?
If all the present turmoil in the Middle East serves to establish some sort of caliphate, what will the West have to do to survive?
Mr. Ibrahim rightly points out in his essay:
A caliphate represents a permanent, ideological enemy, not a temporal enemy that can be bought or pacified through diplomacy or concessions -- economic or otherwise....Everything that I can think of to counter such a caliphate are Draconian solutions. Perhaps others here at IBA have more optimistic ideas on this topic.
[...]
A caliphate is precisely what Islamists around the world are feverishly seeking to establish — before people realize what it represents and try to prevent it. Without active, preemptive measures, it is only a matter of time before they succeed....
