No. But what you don't do is try your hardest to fuck up the situation even more, which is what your 'solution' would do.

Currently we (Europe) are the strong kid on the playground everyone dares to pick on because he doesn't dare to retaliate.

We make stupid decisions that aren't really thought through when people like you demand an immediate reaction (e.g. the Patriot Act). Something terrible happens and we're so shook by it, we're temporarily insane - we're willing to do things we wouldn't rationally do if we weren't so shaken.

There is no, short term, magic pill that will make things right. Any actions we take should work at targeting the causes for terrorism, rather than tackling the symptons of it. That means developing a long term plan. Any actions we take should be in accordance with that plan as opposed to being knee-jerk and made with 'heat of the moment'-type thinking.

Sorry astral but this is about Radical Islam , there's two islam , the normal one , and the radical one , Islam is (in first) a religion of peace and love.
The ISIS think that in the coran this is say that they have to kill people.

ynvaser, be respectful or you will regret it. Just a heads up.

The truth about the whole situation is that terrorists never win, even if their attacks succeed. What they did was create a lot of hatred and tension that now works against their own ideology.
Only if people get confused enough to limit their own freedom of expression the terrorists won.


If you want to live in a peaceful world, be peaceful yourself. Create your own codex and live by it. Be an example, not an asshole.


Also, if this turns out as a flame war against Islam people will get banned.
Islam is a religion, not an ideology. There are many ideologies that work with Islam. Many of them are rather peaceful.
If Islam is a good and productive thing is another question that can be discussed in another thread.

The ironic thing is I probably wouldn't have seen the image originally nor would most of you yet since terrorists killed 10 innocent illustrators and 2 policemen almost everybody on the internet has seen it.

It's like the terrorists tried to prove a point but instead made everyone else's point more true.

Also as redundant said, don't be hateful to all Muslims just because extremists are touchy.

Here's some tweets from people apologizing for something they didn't do just because people are blaming them
