Bulldoze thier families house?


Actually, I think those responsible that are caught will recieve due process under the British legal system....Did you have anything else in mind?

Well I should think that's obvious - invade a country which had no connection to the perpetrators and kill tens of thousands of it's citizens.

W.ait for them to get board and go away.

We have received today's terrible news from the police with anguish, shock and horror. It appears our youth have been involved in last week's horrific bombings against innocent people.

While the police investigation continues we reiterate our absolute commitment and resolve to helping the police bring to justice all involved in this crime of mass murder. Nothing in Islam can ever justify the evil actions of the bombers. We are determined to work together with all concerned to prevent such an atrocity ever happening again.

We now look to our shared values and common humanity to face the traumas of today and the challenge ahead.
It seems to me that the response is exactly right, and it has considerably increased my respect for this organisation.

I understand what it is to learn that the religion of your birth, that you love with all your heart, is being usurped in the service of fundamentalism, fanaticism and murder. I do think that the Muslim community needs to wake up and acknowledge the problem. They deserve every possible assistance.

Does "due process" involve scraping them out of the sides of buildings with a putty knife?

I pitty the guy who has to process that.

Its a fairly simple statement, they should get due process under British law. Do you agree that bulldozing the families home would the wrong thing to do?

From the Guardian today:

But it is inconceivable that, as four young men became sufficiently radicalised that they were prepared to immolate themselves and others, no one around them noticed. Someone - in a home, a mosque, a study group - must have had a suspicion of where things might be heading.

... it cannot go unsaid any longer that - for reasons which may be quite unconnected with the Islamic faith - Muslim communities harbour homicidal individuals who are committed to the destruction of the western way of life.

I don't think this was intended to be a suicide attack. Either they bungled it, or they were set up by others (to be blown up, that is) in order to eliminate potential evidence and loose lips.

Yes, but I don't think you should try to make apple pie from oranges either. It doesn't work.
 
Here's an old article back from after 9-11 about a technique to identify terrorists: http://www.skirsch.com/politics/plane/ultimate.htm

How does the public transport system work there as far as payment? Is there an option to purchase long-term passes or is it maybe completely free? The technology could be used if the system requires passes. Then only people without passes would need to be subject to extra screening, perhaps a walkthrough thing- metal detector and explosive residue sniffer?
 
Wait, I know this one . . .

Blair should ask Bush to back him as he plans to attack Botswana?

:confused:

what doesn't work? Are you saying bulldozing an offenders families home is ok under some circumstances?
 
Blow it up.

A controlled explosion is also a good way to level the home of the family of a terrorist.

Of course it does, we wouldn’t be a very civilised country if we left the flesh from these victims to rot in the streets and tunnels.

It also involves ensuring that people maimed and otherwise disabled by the attacks have the care and support they need for decades to come.

It also involves following the laws of our society, the laws that have developed over the centuries to help create the society the majority of British people want. If we didn’t follow our due process then the killers would achieve at least one of their aims.
