It is true that these things don't stop terrorism. They are just an after effect coping mechanism.

But such teary-eyed, almost self-flagellating public displays gives libs the warm-fuzzies, and gives them the opportunity to trot out all their favorite buzzwords.

What we ought to do is find all the terrorists and put them in a jail cell on an island somewhere and torture them until they break. No, we tried that.

Or maybe we should hunt them down and destroy their cells. No, tried that, too. More popped up.

Or maybe we can vilify them so the good ones will tell the bad ones to stop. hmmm... Bad idea. Then all the Muslims will turn on us and we'll really be screwed.

How about trying a peace agreement? No, that's too crazy.

From what I see in history, the answer is time.
The collective membership of western civilization over time. The old testament can be interpreted to be as blood thirsty as some of the interpretations of the religious tomes of Islam. And slavery is certainly accepted in the new testament. So the ability of faiths to overcome their own texts is clear.

They are all about empty symbolism.

"Frogs in the pot".

Go ahead and light your candles....London is falling. Plain and simple.

You can't reason with people who want us dead and who believe that they will receive

I think the concert in Manchester is the right thing to do. But it is time to toughen up, I feel a line has been crossed in Britain after that savage/moronic knife attack. The terrorist weak spots were obvious in the new police raids , they all live in state owned housing. We take it off them and all the families are returned to their ethnic countries. ( even paying say Bangladesh to take them back) The terrorists are weak , though their numbers are great, because they cznnot even afford to live in Britain, as all live in social housing, all have no jobs or low pay jobs. Losers I think. I don't believe in internment but deport them asap. No Salafist ideology in the UK.

How dare you!

With all your bigotry!!!

Why I will defeat you by going and having a candle light vigil with all the people to show how much I care, so people cane see how much I care and praise me for being such a caring person as I admonish you for your uncaring words as I go on about how much I care so everyone can see my caring! /sarc

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT ISIS WANTS!!!!!!! They want stupid morons to advocate moronic policies so that they have more propaganda to try and get more moderate Muslims to join their cause. UGGGHHHHH

Don't you guys know the basics of COIN and 4th generation warfare?
ISIS wants to take over the world, London elects the first Muslim mayor of a western capital and they already get two terrorist attacks. It's about preserving western civilized society as we know it so our cities arent like those in the middle east with constant bombings as regular lives.

The Mayor did defend, by choice, Al Qaida terror suspects back in 2006. He is not to be trusted. Personally I would love to view his search history on Google
