Atran believes a better psychological approach would be to sideline the
extremists. I think the United States and its allies should try to
empower moderates from within the community, he said. Helping achieve an
equitable solution between Israel and the Palestinians would also help,

What does he suggest, given that the only equitable solution the 
extremists we are talking about will accept is the complete extermination 
of Israel?

Almighty Ruler of the all,
Whose Power extends to great and small,
Who guides the stars with steadfast law,
Whose least creation fills with awe,
O grant thy mercy and thy grace,
To those who venture into space.
