"And I don't see these people making a concerted effort to adopt to the culture of their new host countries. "

And I dont see people making a concerted effort to see them as equal in their host countries ... thats true here and a lot of other places doesn't justify their actions at all but lets no look at the issue thru a key hole like so many try to do

https://www.icmunlimited.com/wp-cont...Survey-web.pdf you can read question asked and see the answers its a bit more in depth then jus t2/3rds Of British Muslims Wouldn’t Tell Government About A Terror Plot

WDMSO, what large, global movement was the nut on the train, a part of?

"we care more about when the word islamic is attached"

Wrong. I don't care more about one victim than the other. But I see a difference between things that we can easily stop (who comes to our country and who doesn't), and things that are much harder to control (what some individual lunatic does in a country of 300 million people).

In other words, there is no logical way I know of, to prevent individual lunatics from harming others. But there absolutely are things we can do, to reduce our exposure to jihadists. It's a question of whether or not we are willing to do it. But it can be done if we chose to do so.

"And I dont see people making a concerted effort to see them as equal in their host countries "

Please support that. Why are Muslims so desperate to flee to the West, if they are treated so shabbily there?

That husband and wife who went on an office killing spree a few years ago (California?), had just been given a baby shower at the husband's company. The jihadists don't kill us because we are mean to them. They kill us because aren't exactly like them, we don't force our women to dress like ninjas and mutilate their genitals. You really don't see that?

The extremists don't kill for any logical (if there every is one) reason. No social, religious, economic, political or mental connection.

They kill because they are "supposed to" kill.
Not because we are different, but just because we exist!

I could probably understand (not approve, just understand) why they do what they do if it were for a noble cause, but because they don't have a cause it boils down to their only goal in their short diseased lives is to kill and destroy as many and as much as possible.

Extremist religions are nothing more than a perversion of an established mainstream religion, twisted and distorted by sick minds for their own sick goals. Their only true selling point is telling their suicidal eunuchs that they'll get a reward AFTER they're dead and gone! Look at any of the past cult religions that ended in massive deaths and make your own comparisons.....


Oh, and there was another attack yesterday in France.....

They kill for the exact reasons you say they don't.

1.Social-they kill to implement sharia law,living that way is a social change.
2.Religious-religion is their #1 motivation to kill and implement sharia law.
3.Economic -they kill for monetary reasons...they need money to support the cause.
4.Political-in a sharia society there is a strict hierarchy and they will maintain it at any cost which includes killing.
5.Mental connection-they are insane.

As far as "supposed to" kill,the killing of infidels is mentioned more than once in the koran.Its the definition of infidel that the extremists and normal people differ on which directly ties into...

Not because we are different, but just because we exist!

they kill because we ARE different and we exist.

How do they determine who they want to kill, and who they are OK with? There is a jihad against those who have different religious beliefs, compared to their beliefs.

"Extremist religions are nothing more than a perversion of an established mainstream religion, twisted and distorted by sick minds for their own sick goals. "

Agreed.

"Look at any of the past cult religions that ended in massive deaths and make your own comparisons....."

What other religions, in the last 500 years, have resulted in massive deaths, especially in massive deaths of non-believers?

No one is worried about the Amish today.

terrorism, terrorist act. the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear. coup de main, surprise attack.

whats there to support you

just made my point "But there absolutely are things we can do, to reduce our exposure to jihadists." you make distinctions between a murders action based on religion i make my based on outcome white guy on the train co worker kills 5 ruth killed nine people and husband and wife (the only one called terrorism) i see them all as terrorism

being afraid of ISIS is like being afraid of whats under your bed .. you have become exactly what they want you to be AFRAID you accept their legitimacy you call them Global, you make it an us against them and will do what every is needed and allow freedoms to be reduced for some ...for the protection of the others its been done before and wasn't a shining moment in our History

"you make distinctions between a murders action based on religion i make my based on outcome white guy on the train co worker kills 5 ruth killed nine people and husband and wife (the only one called terrorism) i see them all as terrorism"

So because there is no way to stop ALL terror attacks (or all murders), you argue that there's no reason to try and stop any. Brilliant.

There is a huge difference between some random nut who goes on a killing spree because he's a schizophrenic psychopath, and what Osama Bin Laden did. If you disagree with that, you might be the only person in the world who doesn't make that distinction. Dead is dead - I agree on that. But different types of crime represent different problems requiring different solutions. You are saying that because no one solution works for all, that means there is no solution worth trying. You have the right of that opinion. But I don't get it.

You work in criminal justice. Don't you know that we have gun laws to prevent certain types of crime, we have drug laws to prevent other types of crime, we have domestic violence programs to prevent yet other types of crime, we have drinking and driving laws to prevent yet another type of crime.

Why have DUI laws? People still get killed in car accidents, right? That's the logic you are using.

your funny I never suggested not try to stop any crimes or terror attacks.. Just countering you're suggestion that banning a religion is prevention

"being afraid of ISIS is like being afraid of whats under your bed"

Wrong. There isn't anything under my bed. But there is a huge number of jihadists who would cut my kids' heads off if they could get their hands on them.

"you have become exactly what they want you to be AFRAID"

I would argue you have become what they want us to be - clueless.

"you accept their legitimacy "

I do? When the hell did I do that?

"call them Global"

Yes, because they operate in almost every country on the planet. I could call that "local", but that would be inaccurate.

"you make it an us against them "

No, they made it us against them when they declared jihad and flew planes into buildings. Jesus.

"allow freedoms to be reduced for some ...for the protection of the others"

You betcha.

"ts been done before and wasn't a shining moment in our History"

Every criminal law we have on the books, every single one, limts the freedom of some, for the protection of someone else. Should we do away with criminal laws?

"I am more afraid for my kids with pedophile priest than isis in America

I am sure you are. Another example of your logic and bigotry towards those with whom you disagree.

"these people have been around by different names same places same ideas same actions"

Today is no different than 30 years ago? 9/11 wasn't a game-changer? They aren't killing more people today than 30 years ago? Wow. I mean, wow.

"the internet has made them look untouchable " Name one person who thinks they are untouchable? Ever heard of drone strikes? They are very, very touchable. Do you ever stop putting words in other people's mouths? I cannot begin to imagine from where you get your information, about what people like me think. Your assumptions about what we believe, are hilarious.

"I am all for vigilance "

No, you're not. You said ISIS was no more of a threat than what's under my bed. Your words, not mine.

The "Some" you refer to have no freedoms...zip, zilch, nada. They are refugees living in another country (Syria). IF they can pass a better vetting process, they can come here and instantly gain freedoms they did not have before. So nothing is being reduced.

And the "Others" you refer to are US citizens and law abiding immigrants that we have allowed to come here.

Damn skippy that's an acceptable trade-off.

We have a vetting process not sure what your better vetting involves other than Ban .... and what about US citizens and law abiding immigrants that we have allowed to come here. who are getting lump into America Islamic fear not for anything they have done but by the fear of what they may do just because they are Muslim.. we did this with Japanese Americans what makes you think it cant happen again

We have a POTUS who leads the fear parade to play to his base
so he goes after Londons Mayor (after the attack ) and Londoners are not very happy

Trump mocked Khan's comment on Sunday, suggesting in a tweet that the mayor was downplaying the attacks.

Trump's comments drew widespread scorn in Britain but the U.S. leader went on the attack again on Monday, saying in a tweet: "Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his 'no reason to be alarmed' statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!" Trump wrote. MSM referred to mainstream media.

So you are saying that if we ban immigration from places where we can't vet, that it's inevitable that would lead to rounding up US citizens and sending them to concentration camps.

WDMSO, yes, that happened before. That doesn't mean that we can't stop it from happening again. Believe it or not, it is possible to take some extra steps to increase security, without abandoning the Constitution completely. We aren't one small step away from being a police state, that's a long way from where we are.

"We have a POTUS who leads the fear parade"

Some call it an appropriate reaction to the jihad declared. By your own admission, you have zero concern about ISIS, so naturally you feel that "any" concern, is too much.

"Trump mocked Khan's comment on Sunday, suggesting in a tweet that the mayor was downplaying the attacks"

That mayor is a lunatic. Right after the attack, he tells citizens that there's nothing to be concerned about? "See all those mutilated bodies? All those dead kids from the concert last week? Nothing to be concerned about!"
