Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 This is a good, thought provoking article raising some good questions. Are world leaders up to the task? I'm not confident at all that our POTUS/CIC is since he thinks ISIS is the JV team. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/01/07/paris-terror-attacks-us-world-must-adapt-to-new-face-terror-get-serious-about/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan4Auburn 1,626 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 First, we should call this what it is. It is not “workplace violence.” It is not the one-off crazy person. It is Islamist extremists who have been radicalized to kill in the name of religion. Agreed. If there is evidence that the individual is a radical Islamist extremist trained to kill and does so in that name. Call them a terrorist. But some in the Muslim world are now stepping forward to condemn the violence. They have been. It's been linked here multiple times. People are just hearing what they want to hear and when. Stop treating granny from Grand Rapids on her way to Disney World with the grandkids the same as a young man who spends his time on jihadist websites and posts pictures of himself wearing a black ski mask in front of an ISIS flag. The Muslim community doesn't have grandmothers? nor do they live in Grand Rapids? and are we not talking about a terrorist organization that is known for recruiting and using young children in it's causes? and whats more unAmerican than taking out people on their way to Disney World? Seems to me that they would just adapt and exploit segments where security was more lax. Finally, take advantage of the technologies that didn’t exist a few years ago, and use them to separate out the very small percentage of people who present the threat. This entire section of the article advocates and invites the government to dig deeper into peoples lives. Interesting considering that people claim they want the government to stay out of their personal lives and habits. What we can’t take precautions against is the random attack, or violent extremists who take offense at seemingly innocuous incidents and use them to justify murder. True statement. Be it some terrorist angry with a cartoon, or a disgruntled student angry with professors and classmates, that risk is always going to be there. The very nature of the freedoms we are granted in this country leave us open to these. I could lose it this afternoon and walk into a building in Auburn and gun people down. There is nothing that could be done to stop me before I took several lives. I'm curious what her answer is to controlling this and how we are suppose to adapt.

Oh I see you've been busy modifying your posts again to make yourself look good. I love healthy and thought provoking debates. Debates full of substance; you fail to bring any to the political boards. Insults about my service, yes. Thought provoking debate? Crickets......

With the 'quote' feature for replies, I really don't see how anyone can make that claim. In fact, I think folks go over board in quoting 5-10-20 posts in their replies, but that's just MY personal preference. I don't really get why a whole page needs to be filled up w/ 1 single post, containing multiple replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
