As usual Michael Scheuer of non-intervention.com has discerned the matter best in his commentary on the recent affairs of Islam and the US/west:

"When U.S. presidents help to kill Americans
Before Obama, Hillary Clinton, and their party pit Americans against each other by cynically twisting the Islamic State’s Orlando victory into a so-called hate crime, and use it as a tool to negate the right to bear arms, Americans must recognize that it is the common policies and actions of the Obama/Clinton, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton administrations that motivated the killing or wounding of more than 100 of their fellow citizens in a Florida nightclub. Americans also must accept that there are many more such events to come. The reality is that the dead and wounded were killed by a team, Omar Siddique Mateen as the shooter, and Obama, Bush, and the Clintons as his indispensable facilitators. A more effective unit to kill Americans is hard to conceive.
Bill Clinton refused multiple opportunities to kill bin Laden in 1998-99, when al-Qaeda’s forces numbered in the hundreds; Bush’s unnecessary Iraq War opened a world of easy movement and abandoned arsenals for the Islamists, one that now stretches from Pakistan to the Atlantic Ocean; and Obama waged illegal and incompetently lead and executed interventionist wars in Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq, and is now reinforcing the unstoppable U.S.-led defeat in Afghanistan. It is worth noting, too, that the Obama/Clinton-led military intervention in Libya completed the disaster Bush began in Iraq by clearing most of North Africa for the Islamists, and giving them more arsenals and a base from which to undermine Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco, and to expand southward into the Sahel and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, most Republican leaders, and the media also have continued to mindlessly chant the absurdity that describes today’s Islam as a religion of peace; this when Muslims clearly believe that U.S.-led, Western military interventionism in the Islamic world is meant to destroy their faith and brethren. Obama and Mrs. Clinton also have deliberately dulled the citizenry’s perception of how much danger the republic faces from Islamists at home and abroad, and of how the Executive Branch, under both parties, is using this prolonged war to solidify one-man rule in America. Obama, Bush and Bill Clinton, moreover, have sent U.S. troops to die or be wounded in the tens of thousands in the necessary and unnecessary wars they started but never intended to win.
It is time for Americans to accept that, no matter what their presidents’ say, the republic’s war against the Islamists – now about 75 days short of entering its 20th year – is far more than a lethal nuisance. It has become an existential threat because of the incompetence, deceit, and hubris of three U.S. presidents and their advisers and senior generals, and because of the determination, faith, growing skills and numbers, and absolute ruthlessness of the Islamists, men who clearly know that wars are won by killing the enemy until he quits or ceases to exist.
America’s twenty-year war effort has succeeded only in helping to make the U.S. national debt all but impossible to repay; filling once empty acreage at Arlington Cemetery; creating a boom for prosthetic-device makers; arming U.S. presidents with a scare-mongering tool they have used to degrade the Constitution and Bill of Rights; and expanding a war that could and should have been won in Afghanistan into a world war, with fronts on every continent save South America and Antarctica. Needless to say, the United States, being bankrupt, militarily worn and undersized, increasingly chaotic and lawless at home, and led by a corrupt, womanish, and commonsense-free governing class, currently, and for the foreseeable future, is not a match for the Islamists on one continent, let alone five.
As the Orlando story unfolds, then, Americans must bury their dead and clearly understand – no matter how Obama lies to exploit the Florida dead for Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy and to neuter the 2nd Amendment – that the men in that nightclub did indeed die by an Islamist shooter’s bullets, but that he shot them for only two reasons: (a) the last three presidents have relentlessly intervened militarily, culturally, politically, and unnecessarily in the Islamic world, and by doing so have taught Muslims to hate America and motivated Islamists to attack the United States, rather than solely focus on their main Arab and Israeli foes, and (b) the last three presidents have refused to authorize the U.S. military to exterminate the Islamist enemy and its supporters, preferring injury and death for Americans over risking condemnation from the U.S. media, the Democratic Party’s base, and the effete, largely disarmed European nations and their thoroughly anti-American media.
These presidents have left Americans with only two choices, either end U.S. interventionism now or be ready — even in the dilapidated condition just noted — to wage a U.S.-casualty-filled world war, which, to be won, would require readopting a style of war-making that produces numbers of dead among the Islamists and their civilian supporters that the world has not seen since 1939-1945. And the time to make this choice is fast running out. U.S. presidents and generals have amateurishly played and lost at war for nearly twenty years. The Islamists, on the other hand, have tirelessly persevered, learned from mistakes, mastered the internet, expanded geographically, and become ever more militarily effective and bloodthirsty, notwithstanding their far greater human losses and far fewer material and financials resources. If Americans do not elect a president who puts America first, stops overseas intervention, and refrains from helping to kill Americans, the republic’s choice will come down to one, kill or be killed. In such a situation, the republic’s survival could well be a very long shot."
You are correct RedRanger that this is an existential war on our civilization and peoplehood, and the only just course of action is to destroy our enemies, but let us not misunderstand the cause of our afflictions.
It has always been and continues to be the inherent nature of the religion of peace - where peace is defined as slavery to Allah and his prophet - to destroy everything in this world but itself.
To blame Islam for our problems therefore makes about as much sense as to blame a virus for doing what it does. The real problem of a viral epidemic is the people who spread it.
Michael Scheuer once again understands well the people who make the spread of the virus of Islam possible:

"So here are a few of the enemy-enablers to focus on after the Islamists’ next attack in America:
–President George H.W. Bush and his foreign-policy advisers for starting a quarter century of losing wars for the United States with their madly Wilsonian, enemy-making, war-causing, Neocon-empowering, and bankrupting doctrine of a “New World Order”.
–President Bill Clinton for not using the multiple chances he had to kill Osama bin Laden in 1997-1999, thereby knowingly sheltering and nurturing bin Laden and the Islamist movement until they matured into a lethal national security threat to the United States.
–George W. Bush and his Israel-First advisers for invading Iraq; sending U.S. Marines and soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan to fight and die in wars he never intended to win; and opening an easy westward road from Afghanistan for the Islamists, a road that now has reached the Atlantic Ocean.
–Barack Obama for being a close and reliable ally for both al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, and refusing — like Bush, Clinton, and Bush — to explain to Americans that unrelenting U.S. government intervention overseas means unending war with Islam. If he was an Islamist, Obama could not have been more help to the Islamists and their increasingly effective campaign to mobilize young Muslim men to fight the West.
–The Neoconservatives, Israel-Firsters, and their media abettors for corrupting the U.S. political process with money and media-power and making America a war-mongering nation and the eternal protector of Israel, which is utterly irrelevant to U.S. national interests. Listing the names of those suborned by the lucre of the Neocons and Israel-First would take hours, but it at least should be noted that all the presidential candidates save Trump, Fiorina, and Paul are on-board with these disloyal citizens, and that Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton have signed up to be the bought-and-paid-for personal presidential candidates of Jewish-American billionaires who are pro-Israel zealots desperate to keep the United States mired, spending, bleeding, and, indeed, dying on Israel’s behalf in the Middle East. Rubio, in fact, may have enslaved himself, and potentially all Americans, to two such people.
–The U.S. Department of Education, the members of the nation’s teachers’ unions, and most universities’ social science faculties for training young people to be ignorant of, or hateful toward America’s history; to be unable to recognize that there are absolutes when it comes to right and wrong; to believe that the 1st and 2nd Amendments and much of the rest of the Constitution are expendable and that the resulting minority rule-based tyranny will be a better form of government; and to disregard the melancholy fact that if your nation unnecessarily intervenes in the affairs of other states, it invariably generates war, and, in wartime, a nation dies if it does not employ every tool at hand to destroy its enemies. The Department of Education and America’s teachers at all levels produce young people who are not citizens, but permanently immature automatons who have been and will be preyed upon by demagogic, race-baiting, palsied-by-theory Democratic politicians. On this issue the choice is simple, eliminate the Department and the teachers’ unions or return the voting age to at least twenty-one years.
–The craven leaders of the U.S. Muslim community for refusing, when testifying before Congress, to tell the truth, which is that Muslim-American youngsters are not “brain-washed” by evil unIslamic men into becoming mujahedin, but are motivated by their understanding of their faith’s requirement that they join fellow Muslims on the battlefield to defend Islam against the U.S.-European military interventions that kill Muslims, wreck Muslim societies, protect Arab tyrants; seek to impose secularism; and allow Israel to do as it pleases."
And it is these groups - my dear brethren of the west - whose blood we need to develop a thirst for: our bipartisan political elites and the leaders of the so called 'peaceful' Muslim communities who deceive both themselves and us about the nature of their religion.
The political elites deserve nothing but execution by firing squad for treason.
As for all of the Muslims who wish to practice their religion in our lands, they need to be told to leave our societies - and the most just solution is to make Islam as unwelcome in the west as Christianity is unwelcome in Muslim world.
If we cannot achieve this by the farce of democracy as we probably will not in this increasingly oligarchic and plutocratic political state of affairs in the western world - we must prepare ourselves for revolution.
