Any visit to the darker parts of Paris, Tolon, Nice, Marseille and elsewhere in the last 20 years would be sufficient to see what was being stored up there

Turning us int a police state is not the solution to protect us from people " that want to turn us into a police state "

Secondly we need to look seriously at the underlying issues, both in the Wests involvement in the ME, and in the decades of ghettoisation that has been common place in Europe ( including Sweden ) . This issue didnt start " from nowhere " .

This article is very interesting and charts the rise in fanatical Islam in France. It interviews Muslims who share their memories of when they noticed the changes and the first signs of radicalisation. This is the underlying issue. Continually blaming Western ''involvement'' is little more than deflection from that.

Bull****.

On your first point : accepting that your lifestyle leaves you vulnerable to killers is in fact also satisfying the killers' intentions. The jihad action aims to kill infidels, and force states into submission to their regime. If they kill enough infidels, they will obviously in time achieve their purpose.

Islam , targets Europe in exactly the same way , the IRA targeted London. Striking at vulnerable civilians, when you cant attack Eurofigthers that are bombing you from the air etc. Our lifestyle leaves us vulnerable , its a price we will pay, until we broker peace in the ME and not bomb everyone.

I agree in that I do not think the solution to the problem is to restrict our freedoms more, I think the solution is to restrict their freedom.

yes the MIndScanner100o can look into the suspects mind and we can lock him up from what he might do in the future . good thinking

That is, a temporary but blanket stop to immigration, deportations for immigrant and double nationality criminals, and much more efficient sanctions and deportations for hate preachers.

That only leaves several millions European born muslims, that haven't " yet" committed a crime, and are currently watching whats happening in the ME on TV , while living in a ghetto , The Immigrants are not actually the problem .

The toughest is of course the blanket immigration ban, it involves refusing access to innocent people. This is the crux of the matter imo, and the most heart breaking aspect. However, let's remember that more innocent Muslims also live in France and elsewhere in Europe currently, and that they also are targets to extremists. If you cannot protect all, protect the few that you can.

Again the issue is domestically born radicals that have not yet committed a crime . nothing you suggest has addressed that . Immigrants are not the issue

On your second point : "gettoisation" : no.
I grew up in France.
Everything was going good until terrorism and extremism came along.
In fact, it's not so much my generation (40s) that is getting radicalized, and I would argue that the Muslims in their 40s, 50s, and 60s currently in France are the best examples of integration.

nonsense , look back at the riots in paris

30s, 20s and under seem to radicalize in greater numbers.
Extremism reaching into France and targeting these youngsters is what resulted in such a disastrous situatio

n.

NO, Frances policies and the effect of recession on the poorest led to the beginnings of radicalisation , bombing the backside of the ME completed the task.

Yes of course, the suburbs and poverty lead to revolt, riots, and discontentment. The attacks we are currently witnessing are not revolts, riots, and discontentment against the government.
The boys from the suburbs who burn cars and throw stones at the police ? They wouldn't kill little girls, grannies and mums and dads watching the fireworks.

Once they are radicalised enough , the boys " from the burbs" think that bombing a group of complete civilians including young people , standing around a war memorial is " acceptable ". radicalisation is a curious thing isnt it.

Extreme islamists do.

and lots of other radicalised groups also

Indeed. Its no coincidence radical Islam has gained more recruits since the illegal invasion of Iraq. Islamic terror attacks was unheard of in Europe before the invasion. Was the London bombings in 2007 the first ever terror attack in the history of the British state by Islamic nutjobs?

Iraq invasion was 2003
Lockerbie was December 1988.
There was a car bomb at the Israeli Embassy in London in July 1994.
As for Islamic or Jihadist attacks in Europe, in April 1985 there was a bomb in Madrid, in June 1985 Greece had the TWA highjacking and in July 1985 there was a bombing in Copenhagen.
France had a spate of bombings in July 1995 and in October 1995 there was a car bombing of a Police station in Croatia and in September 1997, Al Qaeda set off a car bomb in Mostar in Bosnia.
Bombing and terrorism in europe is nothing new. What we are seeing now is much less complicated and cruder acts of terrorism being carried out.

If you completely think one side is inherently evil (like people seem to think about the right recently) THEN watch it get bad.

I agree.

The balancing act would be much easier though if mainstream opinion didn't deem one side good, and the other bad. The perception of the good fighting the bad is probably the most blinding thing in politics.

Still wrong.
It's not Islam but islamism that targets innocent infidels as a token of jihad.
What are you proposing to do, smother them with kindness ?
Do you really think that a complete withdrawal from all action in the ME is going to stop jihad ?
Do you realize that such action is likely to result in the deaths and suffering of many more innocent Muslims than an attempt to limit immigration in Europe ?

yes the MIndScanner100o can look into the suspects mind and we can lock him up from what he might do in the future . good thinking

There's a great, very efficient system called "intelligence". In France for example, individuals are placed into the S register. Now if stricter sanctions and deportation were available quicker and more readily, someone like tonight's attacker might very well have not been in the country. That would have made it difficult to carry out the attack for him you see.
The guys in intelligence are very intelligent, but a bit powerless too at the moment.

That only leaves several millions European born muslims, that haven't " yet" committed a crime, and are currently watching whats happening in the ME on TV , while living in a ghetto , The Immigrants are not actually the problem ....Again the issue is domestically born radicals that have not yet committed a crime . nothing you suggest has addressed that . Immigrants are not the issue

Numbers.
Intelligence and the police forces on the continent are great, but they are no match for the resident population + a steady stream of incoming population.

Restrict numbers, deal with what's there.
That's the only way to deal with this.

nonsense , look back at the riots in paris

Did they kill lots of little children ? tourists ? people in concerts ?
Dammit I missed that.

[/QUOTE]

Radicalization happens when extreme islamists brainwash the youngsters into it.
Extreme islamists reached Europe because of lax immigration policies.

What is your solution ?
Are extreme islamists going to stop their brainwashing once we stop all action in the ME ?
Are the currently radicalized youngsters going to stop killings once we stop all action in the ME ?

the MIndScanner100o might come in handy there.

am I being unrealistic or simplistic but when we keep hearing "the suspect was known to authorities" - why now aren't all people that are 'on the radar' for one reason or another in each country not checked out now before they cause atrocities (or potentially cause them) - if they are found to be following/supporting ISIS or their gaffs searched and material found where they support this and their ideologies then immediately arrested, detained and if not supposed to be in the country they were arrested in then deported and if they are born in the country arrested for being part of/supporting an illegal terrorist group and locked up? - it might help save lives and prevent future attacks? - I know it might stir up 'presumed innocent until proven guilty' blah blah blah and seem OTT and human rights infringed but haven't we got to this stage now that more has to be done than just waiting for someone to carry out an attack only to be told "the assailant was known to authorities" or "the assailant was known to the authorities but was not deemed a threat" ?

Marine Le Pen proposes much more robust and expedite ways to expel these people from France.
Yes, there could be the odd case where the decision was unfair or hasty, but I would think that the safety of hundreds is worth a handful of unfair cases and the subsequent litigation that might go with them.
At the moment, it seems like Europeans are so determined to not be unfair to a certain few, that they are unfair to many. Namely, the victims and potential victims.

because by its nature internment is a scatter gun. Not all domestic muslims are radicalised, however , lock up your son or daughter for a crime that she or he has not yet committed and , hey presto, a radicalised son, daughter, mother and father and all the attached family

the result is more domestic orientated violence

Go down that rabbit hole , and keep going, and the result is " the final solution ", because all these do is make the problem worse. The British realised this ( as did DeValera, when he considered it as well )

of Im not saying the solution is easy. personally the West should have completely withdrawn from the Syrian conflict and let Assad fall to ISIS and a combination of moderate rebels .

The situation is extraordinary difficult now to extract the West from, largely because ISIS ( or the next Sunni group) will form again and the incumbents are unable to control that unless Iran gets overtly involved and that risks SA getting involved

we are going to have to live with this chaos for some time , and more innocents will get killed Im afraid ( on all sides and no side )

internment could force their family and friends to lend more support to ISIS sure - but the message has to be relayed strongly now that if you really are innocent and you are not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to fear - if your flat / house is searched and you have stuff on your laptop / have been researching ISIS and radicalism and have weapons and or bomb making material or go on rallies and marches supporting ISIS or any other illegal radical ideology that purports to kill or maim innocent members of the public or whoever we are going to come down on you like a ton of bricks - no questions asked, you can be sure of it!

I'm too lazy to look for my own post above, so I will just rephrase for you. I can rephrase some more if needed, but it's a little bit repetitive.

There are many Muslims in France/Europe right now.
In order to deal with said Muslims who may become radicalized, we need to put a stop to immigration right now.
Once the borders are closed, we will have to deal with "many", but then not "more".

It's not really internment when the people are already in France, and I'm not for any kind of internment really.

Muslims in France : number A.
Once the borders are closed, triage can happen.
Those that committed crimes are deported. (minus number
Those that are suspected of having been radicalized are investigated. If there is enough evidence (by Marine Le Pen criteria, or other president's criteria) they are deported. (minus number C)
Those that preach extremism are deported. (minus number D)
Those that seem to be in the process of radicalization are closely watched, or taken charge of, or intervened on, supported, whatever is proposed by people more clever than I. (that's number E)
Those that have nothing to do with extremism live on safer lives (along with non-muslims). (that's number F)

So A - (B+C+D) = EF

EF is a much more manageable number of people to integrate than A.

Of course if there is a steady stream of incomers, that messes up any chance of dealing with said numbers. Millions, as you say.

So.
Millions, plus ?

You obviously choose , for some reason, to ignore the very evidence of what happened on this island in the past . The justification for internment in NI, read exactly as you outlined it.

Also in general , people do not like the idea, that " if you haven't done anything wrong , youve nothing to fear" as a precursor to having all your rights interfered with.


At the end of the say , we have laws and fundamentally " due process". Throw that book out the window and we are nothing more then a version of " Sharia Law"


Interning innocent people , is the route to a massive radicalisation of the indigenous Muslim population,

Just exactly where do you deport native born criminal muslims, ? and the evidence is that many terrorist attacks are from people with no previous criminal convictions

Those that are suspected of having been radicalized are investigated. If there is enough evidence (by Marine Le Pen criteria, or other president's criteria) they are deported. (minus number C)

Now we're are in " minority report " territitory , i.e. " thought crimes and while you have dismissed internment , your solution is merely foreign internment ,

of course you neglect to deal with native born muslims and just exactly where do you deport all these people to. ( French Guiana ?)

Those that preach extremism are deported. (minus number D)

I see a parisian borne radical is deported to....... ( oh I see Marseille)

Those that seem to be in the process of radicalization are closely watched, or taken charge of, or intervened on, supported, whatever is proposed by people more clever than I. (that's number E)

Now we have a thought police state, rather like the Stasi successfully engendered in East Germany , neighbour informing on neighbour etc

Those that have nothing to do with extremism live on safer lives (along with non-muslims).

albeit throughly radicalised by the flagrant treatment of their Muslim citizens

if isnt wasn't serious Id still be laughing

This is political terror, it's not gratuitous, although it appears so. For some of its sick, sad perpetrators it is, but they're pawns. Islamic terrors raision d'etre especially in Europe is to sow discord & raise tensions, which will then make more people susceptible to their bull****, thus garnering them more influence & legitimacy. Be careful you don't give them what they want.

I have listened to Le Pens proposal , nothing about it is judicial , or even workable,

The fact is until the issues of the wests involvement in the ME are played out and the massive impact our military intervention has had, There is no easy solution.

Turning Europe into a police state and rounding up citizens for " thought crimes " is the final nail in Europe coffin. We might as well shoot ourselves at that point , because in effect we have restarted the " Final solution "

This is political terror, it's not gratuitous, although it appears so. For some of its sick, sad perpetrators it is, but there pawns. Islamic terrors raision d'etre especially in Europe is to sow discord & raise tensions, which will then make more people susceptible to their bull****, thus garnering them more influence & legitimacy. Be careful you don't give them what they want.

+1, and as in other political terror campaigns, ultimately everyone is going to have to sit around a table ( eventually )

What will Isis negotiations involve?
Do you think they will stop killing infidels if they get a little caliphate in Syria and Iraq?
Please don't say you think Isis can be negotiated with "around a table".
Shocking to think some here feel we should negotiate with Isis,it's Isis ffs.

LePen would end the EU.

The fall out would be another global recession.

Life in Europe would stink.


And then one day, with LePen elected, and European businesses dying from struggling with 28 different currencies, and 28 different rule books, and with border taxes on all our goods .... w'akbar .... another attack.

A possible solution is to start by tearing down all these Muslim ghettos in France and Belguim, breeding grounds for terror and full to the brim of sympathizers, death sentences for anybody preparing or assisting a plot in anyway.
