“We should consider that Islamic terrorism may not be defeatable, except on its own terms, on the battlefield of the supernatural.”
You don’t cure madness by attempting to understand and engage with the mad on their own terms…!
Mad people are just that — mad. They are not capable of reason (’tis is the actual problem), which is why we tend to lock them up whilst they are a danger.
What you’re suggesting is the equivalence of attempting obedience training with a rabid dog…
Besides that, for many people ‘faith’ is nothing but superstitious nonsense, so, how are they to use ‘language of faith’ to say the right things to the deluded? You might as well ask the Pope to preach Satanism — it would be more successful than asking an atheist to preach religion(but not much).
Most atheists however are firm believers in the fact that well-placed bullets are the successful start of a blessed afterlife… for those that believe in this sort of thing tho. That’s about the only ‘language of faith’ that I can see would reach the parts that other methods of communication don’t.
