Subject: RE: BS: Car bombs defused in london
I'm beginning to believe that Western justice is fairly useless in dealing with these monsters. The deterrents which the Western world has available (i.e., incarceration and in a limited number of cases, execution) just don't serve to do anything but effectively martyr Islamic terrorists.
It may be that Israel has realized this, when formulating their response to 'suicide bombers.' In some cases, they've bull=dozed their family homes in response.
As Westerners, we have a sense of 'fair play' that won't presently permit us to resort to such measures. But we ultimately may have to revise our thinking with regard to peoples who have such alien values systems. We may have to mete out justice as it would be meted out by the 'Islamic states' that these characters seem to desire so fervently.
So when they drive their Jeep into an airport in Glasgow, society drives a bulldozer into their grey-haired mother's home in Sheffield. Or in Islamabad. Or said grey-haird mother gets deported with nothing but the clothes on her back, having been stripped of any privileges of citizenship. Same treatment for any mosques who provide them spiritual refuge or the madrases at which they were trained.
After all, if these families, religious schools, and houses of worship are so innocent, then why, too, aren't the folks at the night clubs or the check-in counters, and on the tube trains?
In the colonial period, if a villager attacked a soldier from the outpost, the garrison might well have responded by burning the village and/or its fields. Like it or not, it got the message across.
Perhaps Western 'Civilization' needs to look at going back to those terms, if representatives of Islam insist upon operating in medieval terms.
