What would you like to see done about Muslim terrorism?

[flipnflap]

As we all know, if members of any of other religion stepped out of line in a Muslim country, there'd be merciless reprisals. Yet here we pussyfoot around Muslim fanatics and terrorists, petrified of hurting their feelings...which makes Britain a laughing-stock. Until all British Muslims publicly denounce and actively attempt to prevent extremism, I'd like to see the erecting of Mosques and Muslim schools stopped, all existing Mosques monitored 24 hours a day, all Muslim children forced to attend normal schools wearing normal uniforms, and all Muslims full-stop be made to carry ID cards. Any Muslims who don't like such singling out, can go live somewhere else. How many would complain if they did?

[johnlambert]

Sounds like yet another rant about the evils of Islam on AB, congratulations, your question should generate loads of anti muslim answers

[flipnflap]

okay Mr.Lambert, let's hear you defend Islam in the light of all its extremist activities which threaten our very existence

[johnlambert]

Im not defending Islam, I dont like the religion but I dont think we should tar all muslims with the same brush, just as we shouldn't assume trhat all Irish catholics supported the IRA

[Le Chat]

"....How many would complain if they did?........."
Well flipnflap, you have already got one complaint and I don't think johnlambert is Muslim!!
Although obviously alot would complain, or just step up the terrorism a notch, you would get more complaints from the tolerant west.
I for one, wouldn't complain.

[flipnflap]

The fact that other Muslims are not speaking out against the extremists among them, and weeding them out to be handed over to the authorities, is utterly indefensable

[jno]

so you'd like us to behave more like autocratic Muslim regimes - the Saudis, say? Just what the bombers wanted. You're not one of them, by any chance? You certainly speak their language.

[WaldoMcFroog]

So you think that our laws should be determined on the basis of how the compare to countries with laws that we find aberrant�

Mmmmmm... Seems very sensible to me�

[Gromit]

flipnflap,
I have found a fantastic place where you might consider going to live. The measures that you propose are in daily use and it is almost as if you belong there.

Didn't realise there were so many of you Muslim sympathisers out there on AB. Maybe once you personally fall victim to all this fanatisism, you'll think differently - I would argue rationally

[WaldoMcFroog]

It would certainly be nice if you did 'argue rationally'...

[flipnflap]

well Waldo McFroog if, as your name suggests, you are from Scotland, it's interesting you are not speaking out against the extremists

[jno]

well, I rate the chances of falling victim to a bomber somewhere round zero. I used to think the same about my chances of being blown up by the IRA, and I was right - even though I was once within half a mile of two of their bombs (which were miles apart) twice in one night. I'm not in the least scared and I am perfectly prepared to go on with my normal life without changing it at all. My chances of being run over are much higher, but I am not campaigning to have all cars sent back to their country of origin.

I left the British Army 3 short years ago, my last operational tour was in afghanistan, getting my medical facility machine gunned and mortared on an hourly basis, I was also in the infantry in the 1st gulf war.
I am not a muslim sympathiser nor are most of the others who have replied to your racist rant..
I take it that you have personally fell victim to all this fanatisism you speak of?

[johnlambert]

WTF are you asking waldo if he's a Scot?
havn't you seen the news recently you idiot? Scotland is as much a target as the rest of the UK!!!

[flipnflap]

indeed I have, although I will not go into details. I

[flipnflap]

Lambert it is you who are the idiot. Of course I'm aware - that's precisely my point

[WaldoMcFroog]

a) my name is stolen from a comedy website, but even if I were Scottish, I don't think it would make me feel any differently that it does being a Londoner and having had a car bomb in London and
b) if you really need me to say 'terrorism isn't nice' or 'blowing up innocent people is a bad thing not a good thing' then I will, but I'd rather hoped it was so self-evident it wasn't required.

Now, let's get back to your policy of dealing with extremism by becoming a nazi, shall we?

[johnlambert]

My point is that I have spent a great deal of my career fighting muslim terrorists, however, I do not hink that all muslims are terrorists, and due to my experiences I think I have more insight to the muslim mind than you!!
I stand by my statement, you are an idiot!!

[johnlambert]

You assume waldo is scottiish because of his username, you assume all muslims are terrorists?
I rest my case

[flipnflap]

It is an idiot who answers questions he hasn't read properly. Nowhere do I say all Muslims are terrorists. However, I do say all Muslims should speak out and weed out those who are. Even such an expert on the Muslim mind should find it hard to argue against that. Get a brain before responding again please
