    I just got a cell alert to call 911 if this guy is seen.

    Looks like it is a terror cell and not just one individual.

    What does this have to do with liberals? What is your solution ban all Muslims? Round them up and send them to internment camps?

    No, but we could start with liberals actually recognizing where the problem lies...is that too much to ask?

    You see it here in this thread. Many folks sarcastically made comments pointing to liberals in general trying to deflect blame away from Islamic terrorism. What do some of the more liberal folks here do? IMMEDIATELY respond with anger towards their fellow americans for even daring to suggest it is Islamic terrorism.

    And then of course, we see this morning the person of interest is of Afghani descent.

    I really don't get it. ALL of us here...conservative/liberal/straight/gay/male/female....we are ALL targets of this. They would just as soon kill you as me...even while you defend their religion and the majority of peaceful people that inspires them.

    We GET IT. NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE RESPONSIBLE. Can we friggin move past that now. JFC....

    5 strategically located pipe bombs...and perhaps more in the works. These brainwashed folks wont stop...until there is massive causalities...I am willing to bet that these are just trial runs. They will be looking at games/mass transit spots/busy intersections/and crowded businesses...

    There are many on this forum that are just plain oblivious that our nation is NO longer safe. Obama made a huge miscalculation that ISIS would not impact US soil...ISIS has now proven to be the most dangerous threat to our way of life. Continue to stay vigilant...observant folks...:(

    The final solution - eliminate all Muslims?

    Yes, there are several. One short term fix would be if all of the peace-loving Muslims would go after these radical killers. Instead, they aggressively fund madrassas - religious schools for children - with curriculums designed to radicalize these upcoming generations. Then the parents send their children there, feeding the pipeline of murders and suicide bombers and terrorists of all different sorts.

    If there are as many peaceful Muslims who are appalled by this kind of conduct and these supposedly aberrant beliefs around the world, and especially in the Middle East, as the left constantly insists there is, then it should be no problem for them to unify against this radical component of their society with a view towards either eliminating it, or at least effectively marginalizing it.

    That is a real solution that these people do not appear to be pursuing in any sort of large-scale effective way. This is what needs to happen.

    But until then, we will have to defend ourselves from their attacks every way that we can.

    So you are saying the solution is to make peace loving muslims living under fear and tyranny in many cases responsible for defeating ISIS? HOnestly you have a very simple-minded view of the world and how things work.

    Nah....real solution makes it sound simple and easy. It's clearly not.

    The best any of us can do is demand more from leadership. But when we give them political cover in their pursuit of votes, its gonna mean we continue to get ineffective measures.

    I'll flip the question on you. Do you REALLY feel we have/are doing all we can to stop this scourge?

    I don't think the most naive idealist sjws follow that troupe anymore. I mean I'm sure if you scrummage the internet enough, you'll find some? I haven't heard that phrase in a while except from people who poke fun at the phrase such as in this instance.

    What is the point of this post?

    Cause it seems in a "debate and discussion" forum this is only meant to inflame and cast aspersions. Are you always this emotional?

    If your goal is to only speak to your own echo chamber about any issue then this is the right tactic to employ to get those who disagree with you to put you on ignore.

    Objectively, from previous case studies and CIA/FBI careerists, outreach to the Muslim population allowing them to feel comfortable as informants has done more to combat terrorism than admonishing the Muslim community. There is a solution right there, but of course you will dismiss it because it invlvoes being 'nice' to muzzies.

    That's the pragmatic approach. Not the "I hate Muslims, so the solution HAS to center around treating them like ****". That's the 'gut feeling approach' that conservative love hence Trump.

    Being raised Muslim, and being acquainted with Muslims from two major US metro regions through family and friends, you are speaking out of your ass. Your examples are of outliers. From the hundreds of Muslims I know, I don't know a single parent that sends their kids to these 'madrasas'. You live in a Michael Bay movie universe dude.
