Terrorism & personal beliefs???
 
In light of recent events in Madrid and terrorist attacks possibly in the name of race or religion or whatever..........is it right to address opinions in this way do you think?

Most people have opinions.Sometimes weak, sometimes strong. Would you kill or condone the killing of others for what you believe?

How likely is this to occur in Australia or NZ?

Terrorism....right or wrong?:rolleyes:

It's definately not right to kill for race or religous reasons.

However I would kill if given the chance to wipe out a terrorist. No hesitation, no remorse, nothing.

Why kill a terrorist? Why not throw in jail/throw away key?

By killing them.....does this mean two wrongs don't make a right?:confused:

Are you on about one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter?

The issue is huge and must consider illegal terrorist acts committed by the state.

I just posted this in the US forum:


Whoever did it needs to be hunted down hung (but not dead), drawn (sliced open and there guts pulled out) and then quartered (each limb removed). Slowly
They would be begging for death ;)

I believe thats better than any prison sentence and much cheaper on us good people :)

Ask the Mujahadein in Afghanistan who fough the Taliban. Accusations of terrosism were laid at the hands of the Zionists before the state of Israel was created.

My point is the morality is rarely black and white and each conflict is different. Some people have mentioned the IRA who in my mind are scum. The other scum are those in the security services who aided and abetted the unionist terrorists who attack innocents. A lot of the terrorists became so because of acts of violence against their own communites.

It does not justify the violence it but without looking at these events in such a way cease fires and peace agreements are impossible bring about.

Nice one....I feel trapped!!!:p

Re-educate, talk, negotiate, find common ground otherwise what else is there? keep killing each other?:rolleyes: Where will it end:scared:

Whole world to work on world-wide strategic approach rather than fight between each other. Agree how to address these terrorists for the good of all innocents. Maybe impossible??

Get into the fanatisists mind...pre-empt....change from within?

Who knows wot the anser is but in my view its not in killing. Solves nothing, creates even wider divide me thinks? :(
