NJS 4375 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 GF - every "terrorist" campaign in history has ended with negotiation. "You don't negotiate with terrorists" is the biggest line of bullshit ever put out by politicians. I share your general concerns about Islam but you have to look at how things are changing in some places. There are a lot of young British Muslims who are becoming more "English" in some ways. There are countries in the middle east who have stepped back from fundamentalism in the last 10 or 15 years. Many worries remain but the way forward imo is to encourage an inclusive worls which Fuckwit Bush is opposed to. If you watched The Power of Nightmares you should know how hatred on both sides is fuelled deliberately by the Bush and Bin Laden interests for their own agendas. As with the rest of history it will be the sensible moderates who change things over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeazesMag 0 Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 (edited) GF - every "terrorist" campaign in history has ended with negotiation. "You don't negotiate with terrorists" is the biggest line of bullshit ever put out by politicians. probably correct, they know it and they feed off it ... hence why it continues to come back, so why do you not advocate a firmer line ? As you have just insinuated the opposite earlier ,,,,, I share your general concerns about Islam but you have to look at how things are changing in some places. There are a lot of young British Muslims who are becoming more "English" in some ways. There are countries in the middle east who have stepped back from fundamentalism in the last 10 or 15 years.

As with the rest of history it will be the sensible moderates who change things over time. 71432[/snapback] General concerns ? Far bigger than that, it's the communism of the 21st century and the biggest danger to world peace, fighting an unseen enemy from within. As GF says, OBL etc just want us dead unless we follow them. Now in my view, if that is their aim we cannot afford them to be free and as with alll terrorists must get them first.

NJS 4375 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 As I said the firmer line you advocate has always escalated the conflict - thats why I don't think its right to go down that path. The Isarel/Palestine conflict is a more "traditional" conflict which has seen a lot of progress in my lifetime due to compromise. Now I accept that Bin Laden is different in that there is no "concrete" aim but you have to realise that the threat is massively overstated to pander to interests. I'm not belittling the London bomb - there pretty close to me as I work close to Liverpool St - but the idea that thousands of Muslims are making bombs as we speak bent on holy war is paranoid fantasy. Yes there will be some but no way near enough to justify in any way the measures I'm sure you would like to see. As I think it was Rob argued on another thread the way to "control" our country is through intelligence gathering and building links to communities. Everything you advocate would lead to more conflict and you wouldn't be happy with your "safe" country in those circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BL's aim is also quite clear I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about muslim extremists, not just middle eastern, but African ... anywhere .... just terrorists attempting to destroy our way of life in our own country. Now, IMO, appeasing them [as you would do, in your normal I'm all right Jack mode] won't work, as tearing our own country apart and bombing it, in the process of attempting to defeat them, is exactly what they want us to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10793 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Rob W, I don't think it's fair to say that every Terrorist campaign that has ceased was as a result of negotiation and I don't think it's fair to suggest that Bin Laden's demands can be satisfied or compromised. it's not that he wants an occupying force driven from his home land, it's not that he was autonomy, it's that he wants infidels to die... how do you negotiate that? Negotiation and conversation might work with the IRA or the Basque seperatists because they have legitimacy, they have things to lose and to gain. How exactly do you talk down a guy who plans to drive a plane into a building because he hates the west and all we stand for? these aren't our neighbours who's traditions we pompously raise an eyebrow at, these are murderers, these are fanatics who despise that which we are. There can be NO negotiations with these monsters. It will be the middle ground that wins in the end, but thats in the end, right now our values and our traditions are given second class status in our our society so as not to offend and that sickens me. would an organisation in the middle of Tehran uphold a complaint from a christian employee who finds the ban on her attire an afront to her religion? would they fuck. Negotiation is fine and dandy Rob, but there have to be two parties at the table, not just our representative sitting in an empty room facing a list of demands. it seems that their idea of give and take is to take our freedoms and give us abuse...
