Don't u think it is more appropriate to deal with the cause & not the symptoms re terrorism?

Question

I think the foreign policy plays a great role in recruiting those despaired people, who lost their homes, lands, dads, mothers & other relatives in orgenized terror of Israel & in Afganistan & Iraq daily.
* Those people has no equivellant force (Plane fighters or tanks ) to defend them selves, their leaders are betraying them, so every one of them (people) try to get his revenge in his own way.
** Why don't the powerful countries leaders try to be fair & not biased policy for once, I think that will reduce those type of despaired people to commit their actions!!!

* People who were suffering under the dictator Saddam are now missing him, as their life now completely ruined & every one of them has the chance to die every day.
* In Afganistan, people were restricted under the Taliban But they don,t die in 10s daily by the western forces!!
PLS BE REALISTIC & PUT UR SELF IN THOSE PEOPLE PLACE WHEN THINKING ABOUT THE PROBLEM!!

Tom W : U r wrong, Arab people are not ignorants, mostly they are v. well educated, large percentage of your doctors (In UK) are arabs & the same in every field, as a proof, most of the suspected (not verified yet)last week you noticed are well educated!,.
* Every nation in this world has good & bad people, educated & ignorants, only you can say that when you feel that other people are equal & no nation is superior!

Answer 1

I think there needs to be a healthy balance of dealing with both. They are equally important.

Answer 2

What are the causes of terrorism, then?
You say it is dissatsifaction with the West - but is that true? The USA and the UK only went into Afghanistan because of the terror attacks on the USA.
Yes, I agree that we should deal with the causes and one of the main causes is not to breed hatred against non-Muslims.
Also, the Arab countries need to accept Israel and work to come to peace with Palestine.
A little less Muslim-brotherhood and a little more respect probably would go far.

Answer 3

This makes the assumption that there is something that can be done to appease terrorists. You must have some ideas that they don't have because they state, clearly, that their goals are domination, power, wealth through murder and terror. What are the causes of terrorism other than that? Poverty? Nope these are the per capita wealthiest nations in the world but the average Arab is living in poverty and ignorance. How do WE fix that? Don't meddle in their affairs? These are terrorists, not soverign states and they carry the terror to other states, while still slaughtering people in their own spheres for reason such as race, religious intolerance and gender. Appease that? How? Frightened or addled brained people want to sit around and say how can we just do what they say and they will stop. Happened under Clinton, in fact built up to the current crescendo of violence during those years, so its not Bush. It was not Tony Blair. He left office and the terror was intensified against the UK. There is not appeasement, no negotiable solution to modern terrorists. They have no demands, other than to kill everyone who is not like them, does not worship like them, does not treat women like property. Nope, you say appropriate, I say foolish.

Answer 4

The people behind this Terrorism are extreme Islamists, in effect Islamo-fascists. They are a political movement who use religion to intimidate, coerce and bully fellow believers. They aim to establish a world-wide Islamic state, the so called Khaliphate, a medieval, theocratic dictatorship.

Palestine, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Islamists have cynically used all these issues to their own advantage. Whatever the West did, we would be under attack from these thugs. The only solution is to oppose them where ever they spring up, crush them when ever we can.

Answer 5

I work for the BBC World Service radio station and we have a global discussion programme called World Have Your Say.

I was interested to hear all your views and wondered if you would like to take part in our programme later today. We are hoping to have a panel - a member of the Muslim Council of Great Britain and someone who was heavily involved with Al-Qaeda before he turned his back on extremism. It's a chance to ask them a number of questions.

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) held a press conference today. It condemned the planned attacks in Glasgow and London, called the people, behind them "enemies of all of Muslims and non-Muslims". It also reiterated that it's "unacceptable to hold any one faith group or any community as being somehow collectively responsible for the actions of the few".

What has been the impact on the lives of British Muslims in the past few days? Has their relationship with the non-Muslims in their communities been affected? And do all Muslims share the opinions of the MCB? Do some maybe have some sympathy with the attackers?

Do you think immigration laws need to be tightened in the UK? Should mosques be more "open"?

If you have a view - email me [e-mail]

We're on air from 1800-1900.

Many thanks

Answer 6

I agree that the plight of those human beings is terrible, and it might make an excellent distinction if policies have been replaced so as that they have been all greater suitable off. in spite of the fact that, it is purely not the way that realpolitik works. regrettably, all political movements are based on the belief of shortage, which says "I gotta make advantageous i'm getting all i choose, meaning you won't be in a position to have all you opt for." it fairly relies on the belief of constrained supplies -- a "0 sum game." this means that root motives won't probably be addressed, through fact it rather is greater suitable politically (for the "international powers") if the midsection East maintains to be volatile. the only thank you to alter it is to alter the perspective of the international powers. it is likewise greater suitable for inner politics (interior a rustic) to handle the indications rather of the reason. this enables governments to grow to be greater aggressive and totalitarian (through fact their human beings choose for to be saved "risk-free"), without risking the prospect that the difficulty will ever unquestionably pass away and thereby undermine the will for totalitarianism. on account that governments all would desire to justify their very own skill, it helps while the ruled have faith they choose the government for some thing.

Answer 7

What are the causes of terrorism? People may link the Invasion of Afghanistan and Irag as a cause, but under the taliban, teachers used to get beheaded for teaching female students. the extreme Muslim greivance is not justified, people within the west practice freedom of speach which allows people to practice any religion they like so how are we the cause of terrorism.

Answer 8

Yes, but what are they exactly. I put a question to all Muslims who support the recent attacks against the UK as to their reasons, and what they hoped to achieve by it. Unfortunately nobody answered. If it's just blind hate against other religions there isn't much we can do, but if they say what is making them unhappy, and what can be done to make them happy we might have a chance.

Answer 9

What is the cause...how do you isolate the cause..when you have..if you can..how do you deal with it...???

Its all very well taking moral highground but in the meantime practical steps must be taken to stop these bastards killing innocent people..and the longer it goes on the more draconian these measures will surely have to become...

Answer 10

The unfortunate thing is that the cause isn't being treated by those who CAN treat it, so it's left to those who suffer the symptoms to do what they can.
