Right, because home-grown terrorism is not a thing in Europe and has never been. Never mind the IRA or the RAF or basque separatists or neonazis. They don't matter.
mate i don't care if you're still touchy about dresden, the RAF are a fine upstanding organisation who couldn't be further from a terrorist group
Hahahahahahahahaha
I guess all the intelligence services warnings about extremists being hidden among the refugees never happened. The fact that one of the attackers was apparently a registered refugee in Greece does not matter. There is also the mathematical fact that mixing a population with the higher incidence of extremism into a population with lower incidence of extremism will inevitably result in increase of the incidence in the latter population (see my earlier analogy with mixing chemicals of two different concentrations). What exactly would count as a proof to you?
This is not remotely a 'mathematical fact', much like your misread polls from a few months ago. Did you mean that the average will increase in the
combined population?
Your arguments rely on a kind of lay determinism, a naive and deceptive 'basic logic' which isn't born out in the stochasticism of the real world. ****'s more complicated than this.
The last twenty years have made it very clear that first-order responses don't prevent violence, whether that violence is religious, political, or even civil (like school shootings). Structural changes do. No amount of deportation, targeted killing, and military action will solve Daesh in the
long run. What will stop Daesh is the collapse of support for their movement caused by their own brutality towards Muslims, their genocidal and apocalyptic philosophy, their wingnut theology, and the West's more enticing economic and ideological options.
Exclusionary acts
built Daesh: they came out of the Iraqi civil war, which came out of the disastrous decision to disband the Iraqi army. In each case the correct solution would've been to bring them
closer and give them a stake in civil process. This isn't easy, and it's not going to stop every attack or get them to set down arms. But it will destroy the power base which they depend on.
Sending people away spatially will not stop them from launching terrorist attacks on your homeland.
maslo, you know the best way to deal with terrorists? not to be afraid of them, let the security services get on with their jobs and for the rest of us to get on with our lives, the clue is in the name Terrorists, if Ireland taught us in the UK anything it's that ultimately you won't stop all the plots, some will get though and when they do, just pick up the pieces, remember the dead and move the **** on because terror cannot thrive if the people don't fear and if the people aren't afraid then they wont demand the changes the terrorists want just to make them go away.
Exactly. Terrorist attacks are designed to produce political change — changes caused by reflexive and short-sighted backlash.
