The US should have a neutral position regarding conflicts and consider more carefully the plight of the Palestinian people who have been homeless for 60 years, while the US congress continue it's blind political and financial support to Israel. Every time an Israeli airplane raids a village in Palestinian territories or Lebanon or Gaza and innocent people killed, people say it is America.
Like it or not, Israel in the region is equated with the US. Ending this conflict in a just way that keep the dignity of the Palestinians to live in their state like any other state, will defeat al-Qaeda halfway.
The remaining half is for Muslim scholars and leaders to speak up against resorting to killing civilians regardless of race, religion or ethnic background. This is against Islam teachings which says he who kill a sole like he killed all people and he who help maintain a lifeof a sole like if he maintained the life of all people. Islam is a religion of tolerance and the prophet Mohammed befriended Christian and Jewish people living with him in the same city.
There is a lot to do in this regard, but this requires the US to help these leaders and scholars by taking a neutral position in the Middle East conflict and stops it's total adoption of Israel
