Current Affairs How do we tackle terrorism?

[Bruce Wayne]

Perhaps because the thread is entitled 'how do we tackle terrorism' ?.....

It may be, but it is the equivalent of shooting the breeze, so I don't think it's fair to criticise someone for not having a solution when I can't imagine that should even be expected of a lay person. Indeed, without putting motives in his mouth, I kinda thought @Bungle put this thread up in large part because desktop generals were derailing a thread that was largely about remembrance and sorrow with their fag packet strategies for fixing the world.

Why do we need a solution Pete? Seriously. Are we really suggesting that any of us know more about this than GCHQ or people in the MoD?

Pete wants to do what ISIS wants him to do.

ISIS want the British people to be angry with the muslim community. They want us to react, if they can cause more young muslims to feel distant and ostracised they can prey on them and brain wash them.

I've no idea what the solution is, but we have to take some responsibilty for our actions throughout the years from the Balfour declaration all the way to the so called war on terror.

But I was replying to a post that was criticising everyone else for having solutions he did not agree with, while putting nothing forward, so I thought my question was quite valid.....

I don't want anyone to be angry with the Muslim community, I'd like all communities to be angry with the terrorists and to help close them down......

You aren't angry with the government, though?

I have no idea how the control order / TPIM system works, but that article does beg the question of whether the Home Secretary actually signs off and is personally made aware of on a control order being imposed or lifted. If she did, to say that is potentially a huge story is to understate it about a million times.

Bloody fuming......

Bloody fuming......

You'd never guess that from your posts here.

Oh no, as he stated earlier, to question or condemn the actions of the agencies of the Nation is an attack on all the British people themselves.

It's some sort of religious cult.

Too complicated, lets just deport muslims instead

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Apparently the muslim community warned the authorities that they considered the bomber to be a dangerous extremist some time ago. Nothing was done.

And your solution is ?....

Putting an end to foreign policy that actively funds and fuels the recruitment drives of extremists would be a good starting point Pete.


Or we could just carry on as normal and send a few more drones...

That article, if true, shows a staggering level of incompetence from the UK government and further serves to underline the point that we (the west) are the primary architects of radicalisation in this country.
