The Awesome power of Ridicule

"As one US National Intelligence Estimate on the threat of terrorism noted, support for Islamist terrorism will eventually be defeated through its own rhetorical, ideological and violent excesses, above all the killing of fellow Muslims. Mr. Khan is a voice in the wilderness among Canadians, Muslim and non-Muslim. Let the brushes of ridicule scrub him away."

So THATS how the world works. Young violent men dedicated to murder in the name of their cause are 'scrubbed' somehow by ridicule and stop being a threat. Is it just me, or does that explanation of how things work lack... ummmm... persuasiveness?
