If the pen is mightier than the sword, why are we not using our philosophers and theologians to destroy the ridiculous beliefs of the terrorists and their supporters?
Ridiculing them is cheaper and more humane than bombing them.

Tell that to the Danish papers that ran the Mohammed caricatures. Because that went over so well.

I heard this sentence often from a well known religious Organisation called"Ahmadiya Org" but fact is that the never try to act on it what the preach around.
The mostly love to use their "pen" for the Charity audit book which the collect mostly from them who already on end on the name of Allah.
And in fact the are biggest threat in our society because the "The terrorised their own members if the disobey the rules which are just made for middle and lower class"
So i think the idea is wrong "Fight terrorists with pen"

I have a theory which is a reverse of 'the pen'. If we stopped reporting about the terrorists and their supporters completely they would not get any recognition for their evil deeds. They would soon realise that no one even remembers them and no young people would be sucked into their strange mind set. But of course it is a theory because how do you get the media to 'buy' it.

Presuming U mean Muslim terrorists:
If Satan becomes a good thing, they might become too.
Their brains R so full of their made-up-idea, its no use talking to them. If I argue with them, they'll say I am an astray Muslim. Do U think they hate non-Muslims only? No, they think their mission in life is clearing the world of whoever opposes them.
How I wish they R wiped out from the face of the earth.

As if they are interested in reading. The folly of that suggestion can be seen if you look at any writer, author, moviemaker that has attempted to ridicule them. 2 prime examples Salman Rushdie and VanGogh. Unworkable idea.

What makes you think no one is "fighting" with the pen?
You've got the Danish cartoons, NPR articles advocating calling them hirabis instead of jihadists, etc. And there are Muslims (such as Khaled Abu El Fadl) and other religious folk and academics galore writing against terrorism.
Here's one example: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6392989

Perhaps you should direct this statement to those countries who are under threat of over taken, or actually taken over, by the peaceful Muslim people. The number of countries now governed by Islamists continues to grow.. The latest under attack is the little country of Nepal.

Maybe we need a little of both. There were no pens on 9/11.
