>>118983>Terrorism is not a valid means of imposing change on society, the Muslims have proven that themselvesI'd argue that their approach is working, actually.
In europe at least.
>Instead of 'defeating' us, they only galvanise more and more people against them with each attack.No, the attacks are not for defeating us. They may be barbarians, but they're not braindead, they know they're not going to convert normal people.
Muslims live here, come here, but this place does not agree with their values and beliefs. They are established in europe, not the majority by far, but just now, a significant demographic. This is the crux.
Do we intend to leave them unhappy, denying them their values and beliefs? Then the social factors of this society were the real cause of radicalisation, and soon enough voices will bubble up calling to change these social factors.
Do we intend to compromise, let them practise their faith within some boundaries? Of course, they already are, but clearly we didn't really take their values and beliefs into account. Some of our own values aren't universal truths anyway… But no, there will always be something we have to deny them.
Or do we intend to give them what they want, live in an islamic state? I don't think I have to explain why I don't like this idea. At least, I don't have to explain it YET.
But every conceivable option in the other direction is very expensive and messy. Anything to restrict them would be perceived as aggresion against that now significant muslim population, and everyone can see this would invite more attacks. Everyone can see that, your proposal to stop the attacks will just invite more attacks. It's essentially declaring war, that's pretty hard to galvanise over.
For them, terrorism is the most valid option.
>clear and reasoned thought about it rather than emotionally driven hyperbolism.very funny.
>>118948>let's be loudI disagree. You may seize opportunities to make yourself known, but being loud won't help. And I've only ever ONCE seen someone orally make a respectable case for inequality, and that was in a 1-on-1 debate with one long-form prepared speech and one long-form improvised reply per candidate. There are things that take much more than thirty seconds to explain, and in most settings you won't get that long even if you're loud.
Research, and bite-size facts will help you, but only in situations where they can be fact-checked.
It is not your duty to right the world's wrongs. It is not your duty to open everyone's eyes. No man can serve such a duty. It is your duty to disseminate breadcrumbs. If you want to be a more active participant, find undelved sources to relay back to places like this. Initiative is still important even in information warfare.
