but what are we supposed to do?
How about we put the terrorists we can find in jail (after a fair trial), help the refugees who flee the conflict zone and convince the various "powers" covertly involved in the conflict to stop putting more fuel on the fire?
- omginternets 11y agoHow exactly do you propose we help the refugees? We're already failing to integrate culturally Muslim populations, and this failure is very much responsible for the current wave of radicalization. I don't see why accepting hoards of refugees should yield different consequences now.
- rdancer 11y agoMake peace in Syria, and help them rebuild their lives there.
- omginternets 11y agoAgreed, but that will involve killing people.
- TheOtherHobbes 11y agoIn the UK we seem to be failing to integrate populations quite knowingly and deliberately, by promoting separatist faith schools for religions of all persuasions, including Islam, radical and otherwise, and various fringey forms of Christianity. This is curious behaviour in a society that's become increasingly and adamantly secular. I have no idea how Rest of World does it, but government policy on this issue is either insane, sinister, or both.
