We are all vulnerable to terrorism, because that's how it works. Undermining peoples' sense of security.
But that's also why we shouldn't yield to it, and allow our governments and law enforcement to erode our human rights.
Exactly. We should not change the values we have fought to uphold because a tiny subset of the Muslim community are jihadist. That is a victory for terrorists.
I've proposed a couple of ideas already in this thread. But I'll throw out another. We need to vet all migrants coming from the ME or African nations. We should have been doing that anyway really.
I don't understand the hysteria regarding Trumps travel ban decision. This is a serious issue that requires decisive action and that seems like a good sensible first step. Some people may lose out, but tough shit. Again why should the citizens care.. this isn't an arbitrary call or unjustified action.. it is a proportionate response to a very real threat.
I agree in part. Immigrants do need to be vetted- but this is not always possible. If someone is fleeing a country in upheaval, it seems improbable that they will have documentation. In this situation, what do you do? We have the concept of innocent until proven guilty. IMO, this can be extended to immigrants with some comfort, as most of the recent terrorist attacks have been perpetrated by 'homegrown' jihadis. Given that most immigrants are not terrorists- the vast, vast overwhelming majority- I think you can allow people into your country without too much fear.
I mean, the Manchester bomber was
born in Manchester- so stopping immigration would not have stopped this. But, stopping immigration is a great way to further push people to radicalism.
This situation is no-win. There is no solution that can guarantee the Islamic terrorism will stop.
I would suggest that assisting in the actual homelands, the places of origin, of these immmigrants may be effective. You are unlikely to flee a country that is safe. But, again, I do not know how to do this outside of using military force; which, in the case of Syria, is probably the only option.
You can't keep deferring the problem because any potential solution offered offends your delicate sensibilities.
People are too soft and are acting like children.
As I've said countless times, giving in to the innate racial bias that all humans exhibit is NOT powerful or manly or strong. It is easy as piss. Anyone can do that. Using reason to overcome this innate bias takes courage and strength. Basically, you guys keep telling us we are weak, but I honestly think you need to look in a mirror and see reality.
Only allow other Europeans to immigrate. And of course no messing around in the middle east.
Your suggested restriction is absurd and racist and I do not want a world like that. When people need help, give it to them regardless of their colour or origin. We are all humans, all shitcunts. I don' know, I don't feel much of a connection with most people, but I believe in trying to help people who ask for it, no matter how difficult it is.
As I alluded to in my last PM to you, some places are even having problems with migrants defecating in places they shouldn't be. In showers, in the streets, etc. We don't need that!
Yeah, that's pretty disgusting. Meaningless though- I've known of white people- friends of mine- who have taken a shit in public. Its antisocial and pretty fucking horrible, but doesn't mean anything. I don't believe that most immigrants are doing this; it is not widespread.
Logically, you cannot use isolated incidents to condemn an entire group of people. It simply doesn't work. Most Muslim immigrants are not doing these things.
