What every sane “westerner” (and Indian) needs to understand is that every last “radicalized” Islamist is a ticking bomb waiting to go off.

We have to focus like a laser on the known “radicalized” individuals and, yes, prosecute them for their associations as a “conspiracy” against humanity, bar them from re-entry, prosecute for “ideas” as well as actions, etc. We need more stringent anti-terror laws.

It is hard for liberalism-saturated westerners to grasp, but everyone who believes in violent jihad IS already an enemy of civilization. By treating them with kid gloves and pretending that we must wait until they “act” we are giving known future terrorists the entree to every hotel, restaurant, train station, airport, etc. It’s only a matter of time until they act.

I do agree with you. We (every Western society that I am familiar with) are playing with fire. We need to "focus like a laser beam" on those groups we know foster terrorists. But the chances that we will are almost zero - at least before the first terrorist made nuclear device detonates in a capital in Europe or the US. (Considering a comment I received earlier today I guess I better add that I pray that this will never come to pass.)

Libertarians in Sweden are complaining whenever a non-blonde person is stopped by our customs officers. We know that in all airport controls and other security controls an 85 year old white haired lady is just as likely to be called in for a check as a 25 year old muslim male.

We cannot even handle those hostis humani generis that are preying on the shipping off the Horn of Africa.

It appears we learned nothing from the terror decades of the 70s and 80s.

(Sorry for sounding so negative, but I'm tired and at the moment I'm rather upset about the general stupidity of my fellow beings.)
