Again...terrorism is effective because it spreads terror. THAT IS THE POINT of it. Trying to conflate it to DV is foolish. trying to conflate it with victim blaming is foolish. If you want to reduce terrorism make it less effective....by not helping spread unreasonable fear.
We have more to fear from falling in the tub.
The tub is an inanimate object, and even so - I'd encourage people, especially those with mobility issues, to be careful getting in and out of the tub. This isn't fear mongering - it's realistic thinking.
I get what you're saying, but I disagree with your twist on it. Yes, terrorists spread terror. But they also spread severed limbs, disconnected heads, burned bodies, etc. But their goal is not terror - their goal is (fill in the blank). In other words, their CAUSE, what causes them to perpetrate acts of violence, is the root, not the terror that their acts may inspire.
Sure, they probably get some jollies out of alarming people. But their goal isn't simply alarming people. IF so, they'd just jump out and yell, "BOO!" at random strangers.
The entire POINT of terrorism is to spread terror. drunk drivers, idiots texting, etc aren't about that.
Thats why I say-dont do their job for them
Then WHY all the programs to make sue people know about drunk drivers and people who text?
By that logic, we should stop talking about everything and everything will therefore go away...
It's about letting others know that "something maybe happening." Just like Texting while driving....you should be on the look out or pay more attention while you are driving...
While they certainly could be lying I don't believe they are. I do believe they have factions here in the states and I believe you are going to start seeing more and more attacks on our soil. It's going to get very interesting to watch the deniers and those who want to see radical Muslim's wiped from the face of the earth.
I wonder the tune the deniers will sing when or if someone or something close to them is blown up, destroyed or killed.
With Osama's military drilling in our cities and towns along with arming every government agency that carries gun with billions of rounds of ammo it's going to get very interesting.
Attacks on our soil are the perfect scenario's to grab control..
I think I'll buy some popcorn, sit back in the cabin and watch.
With that in mind let's remember they are "The JV Team"
First Team aired on 9/11/2001 We have never had any as capable act against us on our soil since.

As I have said, discussions about how to resolve it are fine. "Those people are bad, lets go kill them".
But people blow their impact all out of proportion, and then link to their press releases....I object to that.

Brining safety issues to the public is one thing where people can change their habits, what action do you take because you suspect there are ISIS members in your neighborhood.
I, for one, think ISIS is going to strike the U.S. hard, because after-all, that is the "icing on the cake" to them, to hurt the U.S and for those who think otherwise....... is to ISIS'sadvantage.
Let's see what happens but I hope we are prepared...
The gist of this thread is...... don't talk about those killing people and they will go away...
Seeing as how you care so much...and you're admonishing everyone on the need to "talk" about it...what do you plan to do about the problem. It's been talked about ad infinitum. Folks are blue in the face from discussing it. Go look in the mirror. I don't need to because I can't turn blue.
I personally think our own government funds ISIS just to motivate people to feed the military contract hogs. After all, we know plenty of politicians who think it's better to give the wealthy welfare than people who actually need OT.
