Is there an answer to Islamic terrorism?

[marco]

And so beautiful Barcelona joins the list of cities terrorists have attacked. I don't doubt that there are those who will say America and the West are responsible. One of the terrorists apparently wrote of his desire to kill infidels.

I was in Madrid a few weeks ago and had intended to revisit Barcelona and its busy street, Las Ramblas, where the atrocities occurred. So terror is just a breath away, at least here in Europe.

Is it possible for those who want to kill to be educated if not by impious Westerners by Imams? Are those who want to kill "infidels" already known in their home circles? Obviously the scale of this lunacy will grow and we will hear on our screens the fatuous: "They will not win." But they do.

What can we do to ensure "they will not win"? Should the world convert to Islam, at least nominally?

I would not want them actually becoming a power in the world. They wish to kill our men and enslave our women and children. So, give them enough toys to destroy or keep engaged with their own internal fights(as they always have been). Pretty simple. They have attacked us and continue too as Islam. Why not help them go back to killing each other? They seemed to like this greatly.

We the USA are the ones killing their men and trying to enslave their women and their children.

We the USA are the ones with our massive military attacking Muslim societies on the other side of the planet earth, and we (the west) are the ones pushing our religious bigotry against the mighty religion of Islam, and we the west are the ones telling the Muslim women to take off their clothing as "liberation", and we are trying to brainwash their children with our imperialist ideals of lust, violence and greed.

Look at reality - we are the side spending Trillions (with a T) of dollars for our military invasion against all of those people who pose no threat at all to us.

If we too those same trillions of dollars and used the money for peaceful adventures and betterment - then the hostilities would end - as like magic - or more accurately it would be like a real miracle.

And it would be the other way around if they could do it.

I do not know who Hedges is.

I would say they attacked first and continue too. Their goal is world domination. Just like the nazis, Romans, Greeks, Persians....Mongols.

I don't see anyone telling them to change their customs. We are being told to change ours. Some of us should. The difference is they wish to impose their view under threat of death. If they were in charge, we could not have this discussion without being killed.

We are giving them every reason to retaliate.

Chris Hedges is a freelance writer, can Google him.

Who is this them? ISIS? Taliban? Al Qaeda? Or perhaps you are actually implying that ordinary moderate Muslims are thinking of killing us?

I read an article today that says its Zionist supported.
Many would say its another shade of Al Qaeda.
Many simply listen to propaganda; why would people from England and Australia
go and join ISIS? Seeing how rotten politics are all around
the world, they perhaps thought it's a better deal.

No one would join ISIS or Al Qaeda just because world politics is rotten. It is the offer of eternal paradise.

She correctly used the word retaliate, because the people over there are defending against our violent warfare of the USA against innocent people - of course more accurately it is the USA against Muslim people.

We the USA and puppet allies are the ones using our massive military to murder civilians in Muslim areas of the world.

The only options they have are to retaliate - or else surrender to the sinful invaders who want to bring our dirty sins into their society.

So what exactly has those 300+ Sufi Muslims in Sinai done to deserve this latest retaliation?
