You can't extinguish an ideology, and someone who has been murdered is already murdered even if you do.
By your insane logic, we should put kids out on the street by themselves to catch child predators.
Sometimes the safety of the threatened party is more important than finding out who wants to harm them.
- jojobas 4y agoYes you can, that requires some balls (such as not allowing fucking Hizb ut-Tahrir run schools). You'd think it violates the free speech principle, but smart people have that covered by the paradox of tolerance. Also we put fake kids online and young-looking cops to lure predators all the time for that exact reason. As long as there are people wishing to "behead those who offend Muhammad", there should be an offensive Muhammad cartoon on every street light.
- XorNot 4y agoWe absolutely should do that, if we can do that without actually harming children. Literally this is why we do not do that: because it would be wrong to harm children. There should also be an international institute of holy text destruction. Build a big armored building where once a day, mass-market copies of all holy text's in common circulation in the world are unceremoniously set on fire and live-streamed. Because if you can't deal with that without trying to kill someone, you have no place in modern society (not to mention that contextually, burning a holy text - and a flag for that matter - is considered the correct way to dispose of it).
