A people who do not police themselves are the problem.
I might agree with you if you would hold the US accountable ot the same rule.
Want me to list 50 foreign policy aggressions where the US did not police itself?
How about one example I was looking at today, our overthrow of the government in the Dominican Republic in 1965 - based on completely false justification, done for the President's own political needs.
That was a people not policiing themselves as they accepted the lies at face value and the Dominican Republic suffered for the next 3 decades without the US public doing any policing of their own behavior.
It begins with them for fostering and harboring this hated and intolerance. It ends with us importing it. Neither side does anything to prevent carriers of a foreign, hateful, and intolerant ideology from walking amongst us.
There are better ways to beat such a bad ideology than censoring and restricting.
You would benefit from reading a book such as "Devil's Game" for more context on the ideology.
From there we take away our own freedoms in a fake ploy of "protecting" ourselves. The stories of what TSA does is itself a crime against humanity. All for what, so you can have this little game of calling it demonizing when we want to stamp out hatred and intolerance?
The fact that people demonize a group like 'Muslims' for the actions of a small part has nothing to do with our making bad choices on giving up liberties for supposed security.
I said on 9/11 that the most important things was for us not to overreact, and for us to protect our own culture and freedoms. I didn't vote for the guy who didn't follow that advice.
I don't particularly care for meddling in their land. I do happen to care what we do with ours and we are quite literally failing to do any god damn thing to stop Islamic terrorism. We?re at best reacting to the situation as it unfolds. There?s nothing proactive being done to stem it at the source and we need a very large and concerted effort on that front.
We can talk about that - you should first read the book aboive, and then we can talk about what an effictive big effort would be. It ends with friendly relations with the Muslim world, and that world containing terrorists.
It does not end with us having some huge military victory over the region.
This war should not be waged in the airport or at a cartoonist?s home. The best defense is a good offense. This needs to be waged in the mosques of our nations. Our Muslim population should take a person like the Danish terrorist and hang them for us. They must be made free of a hateful and intolerant ideology and clings to foreign loyalties. There must be no more attacks from within.
You know, the Taliban have never had 10% support in Afghanistan. In 1996, Palestinians had 15% support for Islamicists - by 2002, with developments with US and Israel, that was 42%.
I'm not sure you understand the blowback issue - that bin Laqden's reason for 9/11 was to incite the US to overreact in the Muslim world and create enemies of the US who would join him.
He was a marginalized figure not able to more than tiny operations - our reaction fueled terrorism.
I don?t just want the attacker of this Cartoonist caught. I want him expelled from his Muslim community and brought to us by them. I want a Muslim community that will do that instead of harboring men like him.
So do I, and we get that by improving relations with that community, not treating them all like terrorists or exploiting them and putting them under US-friendly tyrannies.
