I see another islamic suicide bomber in Iraq kills 35 innocent muslim people, reportedly half of them children.
What is it going to take to sort these barbaric nutcases out?

I don't think "more violence" is the answer. Adding gasoline to a fire usually doesn't calm things down.
People don't blow themselves up unless they don't have "hope." Give people a reason to hope. Education, a chance to be heard, a chance to believe that you and your country have SOME kind of future would be good starting points.

If this world is all you have, then indeed you need to "sort it out."
The Muslims, and others, are only capable of death.
But if you seek and find the One Who came that we might have life and that we might have it more abundantly, then He will sort it out.
I add the following more for the benefit of 'forgetful' who suggests some good things but has some wrong assumptions and draws some wrong conclusions.
Christ (whom he appears to cite approvingly) said -
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
Therefore Christ upholds the Scriptures as God's inspired word and shows they point to Him and adds that life is only found in Him.
The life that Christ gives cannot be destroyed by any "barbaric nutcases" as you call them.

It is a cultural and religious issue. Their belief system teaches them that violence is OK for they will go to paradise. This is the ugliest side of religion. It will take generations for the problem to go away. Only through much improved education will the ugly beast of religion shrink into obscurity. In the west we have all the advantages of 21st century science and good education, and even here there are religious freaks, but it is much better than in the east where education is poor, people are poor and religion is the predominant philosophy and law. They appear to be hundreds of years behind us. I hope it doesnt take hundreds of years for them to catch up.

This is not going to stop without a miracle. Before the war things weren't so bad for those poor people but now it's all gone to hell. I can only hope that the war will end soon and they'll be able to take back their country and deal with their issues according the their laws and improve things.

War begets war.
I have just completed a book called 'The Bible that dethrones Christ' and it is a dry run, off the cuff booklet for a more penetrating analysis of the Roman misconception of scripture.
The human race has no written authority from any source to which it can refer as a divine mandate for justifiable homocide except perhaps the 'Old Testament'. Here we have a record of ancient men wiping out their neighbours believing that God inspired them. The Romans come along and declare the entire record as a canon that is 'God-breathed'.
However, if you read the dialogue between Jesus and the Pharisee carefully, the Son of God (God incarnate) declared their forefathers to be full of evil except where the Law was NOT broken. One of those Laws is 'Do not commit murder'
American and British soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan may indeed have a mandate from their respective governments to go and kill 'the enemy'. Likewise the Taliban, the Shi-ite militia, the Sunni Militia, may indeed have a mandate from their respective leaders to go and kill 'the enemy' on their soil but neither, according to Christ, have a mandate from heaven to do these things. Their actions are based on secular ideas - nothing to do with God.
Christians, like Muslims, will quote liberally from the Old Testament to argue that God ordains killing. However, I show conclusively this is a lie based on a tradition of viewing the Bible through the rose tinted spectacles of ROME and has nothing to do with Christ. It is a lie that has ruined the life of the Church since Rome hijacked the words of Christ and retrofitted them to the ENTIRE Old Testament.
Barbarism is the direct result of not knowing the difference between ideas based on truth and ideas based on lies, between good and evil, which Jesus came to show in a light as bright as a milllion suns. Barbarism is the result of people feeding off ideas that have not come from Christ.
Barbaric nutcases exist on both sides of any war, and neither can lay claim to being more righteous than the other, for they are both being led by the same blind Pharisee who led Israel to kill God's own flesh and blood thinking it was inspired by God as written in the Old Testament. So, the Old Testament, being inspired by God, inspired men to kill God's only beloved Son? Get Real!
The Bible is an abomination against Christ. The Old Testament is a mixture of Satanic verses and Godly worship. NOT ALL GOD BREATHED. Wake UP Christians!
