Have we *really* given them the time and the opportunity to *try* to do so?
We're not talking about something that will be sorted out in a few days or even a few *years* here!
Iran is slowly sorting out its problems after around 30 years. Interference from the West will *not* speed this process and would almost certainly cause it to go even slower.

Why should we trust our safety to muslim community? when it is elements of that community that are attacking us.

When you mistrust the *entire* community because of the actions of *elements* of that community, you defeat your own purpose.

If you are bullied at school what is the best course of action. Confront the bully yourself, hit him back at a risk of getting a bloody nose, but showing you will not capitulate so his bullying will not affect you.
Or do nothing and ""hope"" the bullys friends will talk him out of bullying.
Option A may get you hurt a couple of times but the bullying will stop.
What are terrrorists? nothing but bullys.

You have only recently joined these forums, so you may not be aware that, in a recent discussion, someone on here tried Option A and, indeed, beat up the bully that was attacking him.
The bully's friends then grabbed him threw him down the stairs, breaking both his legs.
Now imagine that the bully's friends have bombs and consider that this may be a rather simplistic solution...
