Again, who and what we stand for is irrelvant, things will happen on their own, like dominos collapsing on one another. By that I mean as the frequency, cruelty and lethality of these Islamic terror attacks in the West increase, so will the responses by the countries.
The question is how many of our children will have to die until we get to that point. In my opinion even one more is too much. Concrete steps, not lip service mixed with politically correct speech, need to be taken immediately. One of those steps could be to take Islam off the list of official religions. It might sound harsh, but remember we are dealing with an ideology that kills little girls that are going to a concert. Drastic circumstances require drastic responses. We are talking about preserving our freedoms and way of life.
Here's the deal. War has literally been declared on Western countries by about 6 or 8 Jihadi groups. They are PERFECTLY CLEAR about who they are. They are stateless ideologues who want a Caliphate or an Islamic State. The current dictatorial theocracies that dominate in that region are not "Muslim Enough" for them.
It's not a criminal act. It's not an attack BY a religion.. It's various groups of stateless RADICALIZED pirates.
There's no mystery to this. No reason in Heaven or Hell why Islam can't be practiced peacefully in Western cultures with the right attention to immigration and assimilation. We (you and me and the Western countries) have ALREADY created a massive breeding habitat for these pirates out of formerly "stable" states. That damage HAS to be mitigated somehow to reduce the threat at it's roots.
OBVIOUSLY -- border control in this type of War (and it's a war) is important. The focus should be on that. Because the potential for ISIS/AlQueda/Hamas obtaining WMDs or weapons more dangerous and effective than vans and knives, is almost CERTAINTY at this point.
We need to remain smart and calm.. And not BROADEN the war. As much as I KNOW -- you'd love to do that.
