Major Matoko Kusanagi has postulated a strategy in the West-MENA wars-defeat them through making them think we are their friend; well, I disagree with her for one reason- the west has never been good at deception.
We in the West tout our "open society" as our biggest assest. We demand transparancy in government, truthful reporting, the right (even the duty) to air our deepest thoughts and feelings; while we despise shadowy government, controlled reporting, and repression of speech. If we were to try to decieve the ummah the first thing that would happen is people would find out, once it was discovered the strategy would then be lost*.
I prefer a much more basic, western approach- live our lives, with some security and spec ops against the terrorists, as normal; if another attack does occur then rain down holy hell on the terrorst supporting side of the ummah militarily, make them bleed rivers of blood and produce mountains of corpses; only when they feel enough pain will the mohammidites relent.
*I want to differentiate between deception and spec ops/intel/spying; while deception is involved in these endeavors, it is minor deception and temporary.

Mehmet makes me laugh.
Feel the love.
Anyway, the problem with Motoko's poking the snake analogy, is that this snake usually bites itself when poked.
Or to drop back into reality, Islamists mostly hurt Muslims when provoked. If we provoke them skillfully enough, Muslims themselves with revolt and change their own societies somewhat.
The snake will bite itself to death.
In any case, one thing that is more sure, is that for every tantrum, the western public learns something.
I'm sure the Pope knew exactly what he was doing and could guess exactly what the results would be. Well, now Catholics know what the Pope knew about Islam. See? He sent a message.
The more we learn, the better we can plan.
