Lysenkoism can cut both ways. At the end of the day all these debates on Islam and the West boil down to three choices.
1) We kill every Muslim
2) Muslims kill every non Muslim
3) Evolution, education, and co-existence
While there are certainly Islamic terrorists who simply need to be killed, on the whole choice three seems most logical to me...

Can we get them to choose 3, when some of them are pursuing 2?
Can we take select any option unilaterally, other than 1?
