Israeli and Russian foreign policy on Middle East Rox

Everytime they catch/kill one of these terrorists, they should take their body, wrap it in pigskin, and then douse them in a vat of alcohol.

Guess someone won't be going to Heaven anymore. Oopss... looks like it was all a waste.

I'd go one step further and do the same thing to all their living relatives too. That would stop terrorism quick. Think about it.

Their thinking is different from ours -- they probably wouldn't care about their family. A taint on their religion would be more effective imho. Just think about it, they willingly kill their sisters that have been raped or has dishonored the family in some way, so i do not think they would care so much about their other relatives. Besides, that may create hate by the moderates, because we would be targetting potential 'innocents.'

Big Israeli force just cruised into Gaza but in the end nothing much will change because the Arabs are way too stubborn, too anti-semitic, and too anti-Western to believe in anything else besides almighty Allah and the Q'uran.

but think about it for a second. Lets say you are the cousin of one of the extremist animals and you don't agree that blowing yourself up is good for Allah and peace. You will rat-out them out to the police so that you don't get killed! The idea is not to stop the people from blowing themself up - the idea is to make the more moderate family members talk some sense into them. Like "how bout going to school instead of strapping on the plastic explosive dear Mustafa/Ahmad/Mohammad?"

Hmm... thats a good point. But still a violation on innocent life. Whats that saying... its better to let a criminal free than to imprison an innocent? You're right, it could very well work, but the ethical and moral cost is too high to me at least.

true. its real extreme. But I doubt you would need to do it more than 1 or 2 times before the scum get the message. If you can train a mouse to go through a maze, you can train a muslim not to blow itself up, IMO.

As an human, as an American and a Muslim convert am I at a loss to where to begin about this thread. I'm really struggling on even how to respond. It would be easy to simply say some of the remarks are inappropriate, but that would really not be benifical for anyone. I am not bothered by the politicals beliefs, but by the tone and lack of understanding. Anyway.......

Convert to Islam? Do you read the news?

Jokes aside, my thread is political. It is about foreign policy in dealing with terrorists. Does not pick on a religion. And my suggestion to wrap them in pigskin shouldn't be construed as offensive considering who it would be done to, ruthless killers. Once their bodies are in the custody of the victimized party, they should be free to do with it what they please, esp. if they feel it would reduce future attacks (by denying them, in their twisted mind, entry into heaven).

Political opinions one way or another do not allow you to be racist. Racist comments are not tolerated on e90post (tl_boy didnt u complain about someone else making racist comments once?...), be careful what you say or you will be banned.
