What can be done to reduce Islamic terrorism that hasn't been done?

I read an article where a director of MI5 gave a rare speech recently. He said that since new threats are coming from radicalized individuals, influenced by the internet, there's almost nothing that can be done to identify and prevent threats. It's one thing to track an organization and another to analyze countless individuals and monitor them around the clock. The Charlie Hebdo attackers and the Tsarnaev brothers were not so distinguishable from countless other Muslims living in these countries.

So we tried multiculturalism, then we invaded and set up "friendly" governments. Neither one has worked. Are intermittent jihadist attacks just going to be a fact of life now?

Elements of the left would like to make this be about all religions, therefore it's about blaming Christians too since that's the majority religion here. That isn't fair and won't help reduce Muslim attacks.

So again, is there anything else we could do to help that doesn't violate our principles?

 

Hire them.

Pick the strongest of the bunch, support them with money and resources, and send them to areas we have problems in.

Like Mexico

Wouldn't be hard to create a few false flags to rally them up to head there and do what they do and suddenly our immigration problem is gone.

 

There really is only one solution.

And it's not a nice one.

 

Apparently so. High-profile, traumatizing, and aggravating as they are, intermittent jihadist attacks still kill less kids than the flu or measles, and are nearly as ineffective at achieving the goal of the worldwide Islamic caliphate, with all its attendant horrors. We can hardly believe we could be toeing such a leftist multiculturist line here, but, the statistics bear it out. And hey -- statistics? Who are we to argue with statistics? Statistics is a hard science. Rigorous math etc. Shocking.

To absorb and shrug off, vs getting in a huge police action... and an apparently futile one at that...

None of the above should be interpreted as recommending that we not do anything about the problem of Islamic terrorism. Cells should be ruthlessly pursued and mercilessly terminated, but, we gotta stop freaking out every time they score a minor tactical victory.

 

Well, that was certainly an honest assessment. I would rather we not sit back and take it. It'll only grow worse with time, according to disparate fertility rates and the failures of integration policies.

 

"What can be done to reduce Islamic terrorism that hasn't been done? "

you can't reason with religious fanatics sadly, they either die out or are killed in most cases


.

 

1 or 2 more iraq style invasions will clean off a good portion of the most radical Islamists in the world. Jihadists around the world will go to these warzones and get killed. I read that upwards of 1 million people died in Iraq. Add 2-3 more million to that list and we will be in pretty good position.

 

Essentially that is the truth of it, we have to endure unless we wish to live in a totalitarian state with levels of security that would make an Islamist Theocracy look tame.

 

Serious question: How or why is the Paris atrocity worse than Newtown with almost twice the number killed? Or Virginia Tech? Or the Colorado theater? Or the Amish schoolchildren? Or....etc. Not wanting to get into a gun control debate but exactly why or how is the Paris massacre worse than the other drip..drip..drip..examples above? Or is it worse?

 

Reducing immigration and deporting undesirable people will go a long way towards the islamist threat not becoming worse in the west. Contain the problem. Destroy ISIS but try to not create needless conflicts in middle east (Iraq), even if it means a dictator will stay in power. Dictator > islamists.

Then we can only wait. This is a big clash of cultures and only time may solve it. Centuries maybe.

 

Because its about the freedom of speech central to our societies. If you are trying to make this be about American gun control then that's pretty sad.
