How do we stop terror attacks?
I believe the first question we have to ask ourselves is, why. Why do lone or group terrorists want to commit these atrocities? If we know the answer to that question, is there anything we can do to stop them?
We are well aware that it doesn't take an immigrant to create an act of terror. We also know that these terrorists wear no uniform, don't drive tanks or carry Kalashnikov's so the question is, can we physically fight this war on terror? Enough is enough. We have, for too long heard that we are fighting this war on terror and yet, month on month, things don't improve, bombs still go off and innocents still die. From the 70s into the 2000s we had IRA bombings. How did we bring that to an end? how did we stop the killing of innocents? May will no doubt jump on her platform and tell us all that this will no longer be tolerated, that her "war on terror" will prevail. We've heard it all before and we tragically will hear it again but the terror will continue and the masses will become more afraid whilst the government continue to reassure us that they are going to make it all better. |
We need to stop getting involved in middle eastern wars for a start.

It really is time to call a halt after so many bad endings to past interventions,which just help fuel the hatred against the UK even more. |
You don't. "Fighting terror" is as empty a phrase as "fighting crime". You can stop some of it but never all of it. Someone's always going to have a stupid cause they're willing to die for.
But yes, the cessation of drone bombing children and selling weapons to callous dictators would be a good place to start. |
kill them before they kill us, kill them all.

But even if you put all morals aside and agree to wipe out the entire population of "maybe terror folks" - it is logistically impossible to actually do it. The more bombs you drop, the more terror attacks there will be. Simple as that. So really what it comes down to is this: people are angry and incredulous that innocent people are the victims of terror attacks. And rightly so. But is indignation and foot stomping, even if it's justified, WORTH IT if the end result is actually more deaths of innocents rather than less? Striking back in anger (back at who, anyway? Drop bombs where?) is never going to be the answer to this no matter how tempting an option it might seem. When people start getting their heads around that, we might actually stand some sort of chance in making some progress. Until then, you are part of the problem, not the solution. Every angry voice advocating further and more aggressive military action is contributing to future deaths in our own country. That might sound harsh but it's the absolute truth. |

It's not just that though. Succumbing to the fear and division that these people intend to cause - by scapegoating an entire religion - actually makes the problem worse. The goal of Islamic fundamentalists is to prove to westernised, integrated Muslims that they are hated. That they have no place here, and that they must rise up and fight the infidels. This is actually documented. It's also how radicalisation works, and how it begins. And by pandering to the wishes of terrorists, you are exacerbating the problem. In fact, you are the problem. So stop. |
Is there anyway to remove sales of the materials used in constructing these deadly bombs?
|
Oh, yeah, that's another thing. If our government could stop selling arms to Saudi Arabia that'd be great.

One should be very careful who they choose as military partners http://www.stopwar.org.uk/index.php/...-obama-s-reign. “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind …” (Hosea, 8-7).

If our foreign policy is to blame then why has Germany also been targeted numerous times? They are a country that has not carried out bombings on Muslim countries and they have done more than any other European nation to help with the victims of wars in the Middle East. Yet still they are attacked. It's the same story with Sweden.
They - and we - are attacked not because of what we do but because of who we are. Because Islamist extremists are by their very ideology totally opposed to the whole structure, culture, demography and identity of the West. That would be the case whether we pursued an interventionist foreign policy or an isolationist one. The whole argument that we have brought this upon ourselves is ridiculously reductionist. |
To begin with I think we have to look towards religious schools. If you allow children to be segregated at school and they are segregated into religious communities at home which often happens. How do they come to know children who aren't of their religion and make friends? For any multi cultural society to work there has to be integration rather than segregation.
Also language make sure that everyone in the family can speak the language of the country they are living in. For their own sake and so that they can communicate with others and are not isolated. Stronger reaction where extremist tendencies are flagged, including looking at family and what they are teaching their young people. More focus on the equality of women and girls through social work and counselling. |
Germany has been involved in the Syrian civil war since Dec 2015 and a large number of Swedish citizens are fighting for terrorist organizations in Syria.
If the attacks are happening because they are opposed to what we are, why didn't it happen sooner? |

You start by eliminating political correctness
ONLY then can you start to deal with this mega monstrosity where 35000+ and rising innocents are killed worldwide every year and 100s of thousands are injured for life |

Not that I am saying we are uniquely targeted in the West, a lot of Islamist extremists have just as much hatred for the way of life in many Muslim countries if they don't conform to the their narrow view of Islam |

Where have I constantly 'made up that lie'? Can you point me in the direction of these posts? Evidence your unsubstantiated claims? Because I said nothing of the sort. |
