Maybe we could rid the world of muslim terrorist if we treat them like we did asians and germans during and after WW2.
I think we should leave them alone.

Kidnapping has been shown to work in some cases, so they do it. They've seen fellow Muslims make millions of dollars from kidnapping and piracy and they want some money too. You visit a foreign country at your peril.
You're right; this happens in many countries in South America, also.
