Ahoooga…ahoooga…!

9-11 conspiracy moonbat – terrorist apologist alert!

Why do terrorists stop?

b/c they’re dead

i blame bush

I thank Bush.

What do we do if they try it here?

First of all, there is absolutely no evidence that OBL was responsible for 9/11. Remember when Powell promised to come out with a “white paper” outllining the evidence against OBL? Never happened. The UK government did put out a paper outlining the evidence. Ever see it? Take a look:

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/1579043.stm

It’s a joke. There is no evidence. OBL would be acquitted in 3 days in a fair trial. But let’s say OBL did do it, the answer to your above question would remain the same. Stop occupying other countries, and stop giving unconditional support to Israel to do the same. Still simple.

Remember when Hezbollah used to carry out suicide bombings? As soon as Israel was driven out of Lebanon, the suicide bombings stopped. Stop the occupation, the suicide bombing stops. Same works in reverse. Suicide bombing was unknown in Iraq and Afganistan before the US occupation. Now there are plenty of suicide bombings in both those countries.
How simple.

It really is simple isn’t it? What do we do if they try it here? Oh, that’s right,..they already did. With airplanes.

Family ties, therefore, should provide a means to negating the attraction to the nihilistic strain of Islam.

Gee, I wonder why the Left in the US constantly tries to reduce parental rights (abortion on demand for 13 yr old girls without parental consent, teaching the use of condoms to middle school kids without parental consent…)

Nothing like reducing the bonds of family to create a controlled membership to a cult.

Do you really think so? I ‘m of the mind that these freaks have some weird relationship with their mommies. And if the parents, sibling and children were taken out they’d really be hesitant cause it would mean listening to mommy complaining for eternity.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

they would sure think 2,3,4,5 times before committing to a “martyrdom” operation if the entire family got martyred at the same time

If you really love your wife and children, wouldn’t you consider it a bonus if you could take them along on the fast track to Paradise? Under the current system the deal is, you blow yourself up and get to dine at the right hand of the Prophet (PBUN) while the wife and children are left destitute, without a man to take care of them. Under the system you are proposing, you would earn a family trip to the happy afterlife.

When they meet implacable resistance and gain only death, they stop (being busy with their virgins).

The rest is soothing and distracting psychobabble.

As they are concerned about their families and/or do it for family honour, what if the family are made to suffer if they succeed?

The Israelis are kinda doing that: suicide bombers get their houses demolished. This is a known policy, so when Ahmed puts on the dynamite belt, he knows that he’s not just making his wife a widow and his child an orphan, but he’s also making them homeless. Sadly, it hasn’t been a very effective deterrent. Perhaps it’s because the community feels that the punishment is unfair (usually the wife is not privy to the suicide bomber’s decision) and they step in to take care of the family.

We could do much the same thing when torturing captives too. Drag the wife in and pulverise her before his eyes.
Refer to Saddam for handy tips’n'tricks.

I know, I know, this sounds really nasty to our PC civilization, but direct repercussions would eliminate the “Honour” of what their doing by being directly responsible for the elimination of their entire family. It might piss them off but they would sure think 2,3,4,5 times before committing to a “martyrdom” operation if the entire family got martyred at the same time. Just a thought.

That won’t happen in the future if Obama or Clinton get their way in nationalizing healthcare! Imagine having to quit one’s job just because the employer won’t pay for basic health coverage. I can just imagine the terrorist hitting the campaign trail for Hillary talking of his woes.

Beat me to it!

The rest is soothing and distracting psychobabble.

But almost nobody is studying the flip side of radicalization — understanding those who leave terrorist organizations.

Ending Islamic terrorism is pretty much all conservatives ever think about.

…But this is apparently the first time it’s ever ever even crossed a liberal’s mind. That’s because iberals consider such thinking defeatism.

I was sorta referring to the sacrifices folks made in World War II. Liberty gardens, food item, clothing, and tire rationing,..stuff like that. Doing without. Guess I was suggesting too much of a sacrifice,..to quit breaking the law and financing the enemy. That could be done immediately if we had the will. Oh well.

social dynamics of terrorist organizations

Like jihadi cookouts? Dhimmi knitting circles?

Great idea! Let’s legalise them so we can produce our own!

My thought exactly :) As long as there’s demand, you won’t get rid of the supply by making it illegal. But you CAN lower the price by increasing the supply, and you can easily create a monopoly on sales if you criminalize non-approved sources. Simple economics, really.

Why don’t American citizens stop using illegal drugs which create a large part of terrorist cash flow?

Great idea! Let’s legalise them so we can produce our own!

See Sun Tzu, also.
