With all the terrorist plots going on in the world right now, like the one in the UK, would it not be better to come up with some forms of punishment that might make these people think twice about joining a group? They (and many of their families) see it as an honour to die for the cause. Fine. Go ahead, but if you do so, your ENTIRE family will be deported to your ancestral place of origin. For instance, the British-Pakistani's caught in the latest plot: send their entire families to Pakistan. No exceptions. Unfair you may say, but this is survival. They care about no one except their own family, so hit them where it hurts. I will probably get many irate replies to this one, but it is just thinking.

Well, it looks like I hit a nerve. I am not saying that the families were complicit with them. I am saying, though, that there has to be some way to fight these people and standard, wimpy, Western ways of 'being fair' is not going to cut it with these people. You need to be tough. That is the only language they understand. Of course it won't stamp it out, but it will get some form of justice for people who have lost members of their family in one of the attacks. I have a sister in London and I can tell you that it is very unpleasant to have to worry about her safety.

I'm not a pacifist, i do believe in punishing those who deserve it, however i do not believe one person's actions should be held against their entire family. In many cases the families have no idea what is going on.
Unfortunately you have to start educating kids at a very young age, people need to be more tolerant and understanding, not less.

Give them life without parole in a prison. They want to die for Allah and to not die is a disgrace to them and they will have to deal with inmates who don't side with their actions.

That idea certainly warrants some thoughtful dialog. Nice thinking!

when you have people willing to blow them self up with explosives I don't think punishment would deter these people
