I don't think that your views are too hawkish. I think they are realistic. But then, it's true, I do belong at this point to the majority, which many among the intelligentsia consider extremist.

I am convinced that if we fail to acknowledge being at war, our enemy will engage in war-like behavior until we do.

I am also convinced that at this point our opposition's strategic target is capturing political power in Muslim countries. We are means to that end. If they succeed, Muslims will pay a much heavier price than we will. If moderate Muslims are any smart, they should understand that and support us.

I think that moderate Muslims hope to benefit from the revolutionary energy carried by their extremist fringe, while expecting to be able to control them always. They are wrong. They will pay a heavy price, like the Germans paid for the Nazis - and like the Russian liberals paid for flirting with Bolshevism for several years prior to the revolution.
