We could never kill enough people to stop people from doing evil, but with faith we can take away their power to terrorize

I understand why Jesus wept. You can't see what is right before your eyes. The war on terror was won 2000 years ago at Golgotha. When the Roman centurian hammered the nail through the wrist of Yeshua ibn Josef and he cried out; not cursing and condeming his tortchorers, not begging for their mercy, but instead in a magesty never before witnessed by men, he called upon His Father, The Most High God, to "Forgive them for they know not what they do."

Was this waisted on you? Can't you see how this nullifies terrorism. He even explained it earlier in His life when He told His deciples ,"Fear not he who can end your life, but not kill your soul." "To conquer death you need only die."

Faith my a$$.
The only solution is long term, but it is fairly simple. Education.
Most fundamentalists (both Christian and Muslim) eschew knowledge. They don't read things that contradict or challenge their world view (in the Muslim world, often the only book they have ever read is the Quran).
Teach kids worldwide to read, read anything, and read everything. That is the only solution, for inane beliefs cannot long endure when pummelled by reason, fact and history.

To say that filth - oops, faith - will stop terrorism is as stupid as saying pouring gasoline will stop a fire.
If the US wants to stop islamic terrorism, then stop US terrorism first. 9/11 was a reaction, it was NOT unprovoked.
Faith doesn't move mountains, it levels buildings.

Faith will make you sheep for the slaughter. Look at the bright side, you'll see God sooner.
We are authorized to hunt down terrorists like dogs and arrest and execute them. God actually commanded that we treat murderers in this way.
YOU don't have to be the one to do it, since this job belongs rightfully to law enforcement, and they have a duty to carry it out.

They think they are fighting us because they want to preserve their culture. A crusade will make Osama's propaganda about the west and our goals to turn them all into Christians into a reality, and just kick the hive really hard.

No. Faith is part of what causes terrorism. What can end it is better foreign policy and us, you know, doing less things that piss people off so much that they want to terrorize us.

KILL enough people to stop the world from doing evil? Isn't killing people evil?
Boggles the mind, it does.
But sure, pray away all the terrorists that the US has created. It beats killing people.

A walk through an asylum proves that faith in something doesn't make it true

What? Is this Opposite Day?
FAITH is what gives them the impetus to terrorize. With reason we can show them why killing themselves and others might be a bad idea.

Many of these terrorists claim to be acting on "faith". Sorry, not going to work.
