What Causes Terrorism

[apb]

DH,

When I state that I do not want to emulate terrorists or sink to their level, I mean that I do not want to run around cutting heads off and enacting revenge in a knee-jerk reaction that some on this forum suggest. That is not how we do things. I agree that setting off a bomb in a crowd of civilians is an act of war. I have no problem with the cowards who did this being milked for any and all intel, and then being locked away in solitary confinement for the rest of their miserable lives. The scumbag lost his rights the moment that the bomb went off. Believe I indicated either here or another thread that I would prefer we capture the last guy alive so we could find out more on how they got materials, who else might be involved, and what other risks are still out there.

At the same time, we don't want to alienate those Muslims who are peaceful and are also disgusted by the cowardly acts that some in their religion commit. That winning hearts and minds stuff that Bush talked about (agree with him on this one). We can only keep radicals at bay through military action. To actually win means changing attitudes. They have to understand that we will tolerate them if they tolerate us. Conversely, if they f with us, the gloves come off.

Didn't mean to single you out, just scanned this thread and was amazed at the tone many were taking. Being nicer or more tolerant is not going to help with these people. They already understand we are tolerant, that's what they are taking advantage of. And they already f'd with us many times, as well most other countries on the planet earth.

Right now there are about 15,000 people from Muslim countries who came here under student visas and have not showed up at any university. Nobody knows where they are. What do you suppose a 'few' of them are up to? Even some prominent liberals are wondering about the answer to that question.

Islam has a huge following and only a small percentage are killers in the name of their religion. But that small percentage adds up to hundreds of thousands if not millions, far more than enough to have specifically targeted innocent non combatants for terror campaigns everywhere. The Islamic religion has been spawning over 90% of the world's violent terrorists since the 1960's, and no amount of political correctness changes that fact.

The Obama administration's reticence to even call terrorists terrorists is infuriating. According to the clowns we have in power right now, the hairbag at Ft. Bragg who shouted Allah Akbar before starting his killing spree committed 'workplace violence' instead of religious inspired terrorism. Also his Attorney General's office interrupted and effectively ended the Boston Bomber's questioning. Good grief, how are we supposed to win with that kind of leadership?

Yo P, me do agree. It's like picking bugs off the grill of your new truck. They don't slow down the truck, and only the owner can decide how much of a nuisance they really are.

Yo would-be terrorists. If dying for your cause is your goal, I applaud your dedication. How about calling it in to a TV station, then showing us how well you tread water below McAlpine at flood stage. C-mon T-babies. make a statement.

Mere bugs on the truck grill huh? Me couldn't disagree more.

Tell the families in Boston how we've already won. See what they say about that.
