Not all Muslims are rapists and killers.
A huge statistical majority of rape and murder is by migrant Muslims.
Just because it's not every Muslim, doesn't mean rape isn't heavily committed by Muslims. Have you read the Koran or the Sira? Rape is a privilege and reward of the Muslim against non Muslim nations.
Isn't your claim about terrorism kind of like saying "if we put criminals in jail, it's just going to piss off their buddies who will be incited to commit more crime?" You are inferring of course, that not submitting and serving terrorists, will cause more terrorism and violence until we meekly submit to Islam like the dhimmi kafir you are.
It's obamas Muslim ban, he bombed 5/7 of those countries, and Obama banned way more Muslims for way longer way more times than Trump has. So did Clinton and Carter, oh and Bush sr and jr. Where were your dhimmi tears then?

I agree with you, but I think the real solution is a schism of the Islamic faith. That's how the crusades stopped, Christianity divided. They need a strong, unified, moderate faith to compete with even the mainstream Islam that is present in the Middle East. Instead, Salafist Jihad is gaining traction. Islam needs a reformation.

Terrorist activity can only persist if the cartels we know as ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Hamas, and others continue to profit off the trade of opiates and stolen oil. And without regular funding from the likes of Saudi Arabia, Iran and the UAE, they can't pay their soldiers. They can't run their networks. They can't perpetuate their distorted narrative. Terrorism, especially copycat, domestic terrorism, needs an example, a real front in a real war defending real territory. They will not last, and Jihad will go out of style.
