So, what would Jesus do? Declare war? Cooper's approach reminds me of a Holmes quote:

“Certitude leads to violence... ideologues, dogmatists, and bullies— people who think that their rightness justifies them in imposing on anyone who does not happen to subscribe to their particular ideology, dogma or notion of turf. If the conviction of rightness is powerful enough, resistance to it will be met, sooner or later by force.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes, quote taken from The Metaphysical Club
