How do Western nations stop terrorist attacks?

Why is it so hard for some people to grasp the notion that an adherent following a holy text that says to "kill the infidel" actually goes out....and ****in' kills infidels?

They are unambiguously stating that the doctrines of martyrdom and jihad are the reasons why they are committing terrorism.

Why don't people take them for their words? Why is there an inclination to find any other reason other than that?

Ask Magas.

He's a live one, and doing exactly what you just posted about. To the letter, actually.


I honestly can't grasp such logic myself either. He's either a super-gruber, or a sympathizer of the terrorists. I can't come up with a third option.

Why is it so hard for some people to grasp the notion that meaningless wars that result in displaced and murdered civilians amplify the likelihood of people in said regions becoming radicalised and terrorists?

That talking point has been refuted already. Many times, actually.

Gotta keep up!

Canada has 3x as many Muslims as the U.S. Yet almost never sees a terrorist attacks?

Maybe its because Canada doesn't make it a foreign policy to invade and bomb the fck out of them, year after year, with no end in sight.

Maybe, just maybe, this has little to do with religion? Maybe they just want us to stop interfering in the middle east, stop stealing their resources, and stop propping up tyrants and giving them weapons, that are used against their own people.

Yeah I bet that has a lot more to do with it than religion.

But in all honesty, it hasn't. Islamism is a huge problem, and if we didn't invade I'm sure we'd still have major issues with these islamists.

But I happen to think the stupid wars added fuel to the fire, as well as the west's cosy relationship with the wahhabi gulf states.

It's a complicated, multifaceted issue.

Thanks, I was looking into this, I was sure that the countries that didn't invade Iraq have had a lot fewer terror attacks, but I don't have the hard data on me at the moment.

Facepalm

Muslims were committing numerous acts of terror on Americans during Jefferson's time, so much so he had to send the Navy out to deal with them.

Back then, we were an isolated nation not interfering in other country's, especially the Middle East.

So if we were not bothering them back then, why were they committing acts of terror on Americans?

It's a complicated, multifaceted issue.

Only to those who want it to be.

The rest of us figured it out easily by studying history and reading their holy book. As I keep saying, it's not very hard to figure out.

Canada has (or up to recently, had) combat troops over there killing Muslims.

Iirc, a Canadian sniper recently broke some sort of long distance kill record.

Try yet again guys.

So why do Canada experience fewer attacks despite having a larger muslim population?

And you referring to barbary pirates, but why are you omitting say the period between 1940-1980?

Their involvement was miniscule compared to the US and Britain.
