Would Terrorism come to an end with Bin Laden?

Would the capture of Osama Bin Laden have an impact on terrorism? If so what kind of impact?

Of course it would have an impact! Osama is the extremist Muslim icon, for god's sake. They use him as a major tool in extremist propoganda. It would be a major blow to the Muslim extremists, but it would probably only be a momentary setback.

One of the problems that I'm beginning to have is that it seems to me that "terrorism" is not nearly as coordinated an effort as some people seem to think. Some isolated incidents are labeled as "terrorism", but are probably only extremist idiots and/or murders ....maybe just for the sheer fun of it!

If everyone on Earth were to just bow down to the terrorists, I'm not even sure that they'd know what the fuck to do!! I'm not even sure that they know what they want ...they just blow up people and things because they enjoy it, just like serial killers in the western world -- "Gee, I think I'll go out tonight and kill someone!"

How long has he been underground now? Last I heard, he was on dialysis, is he still alive?

Remember this?

Hi all...

It would make no difference at all if the bin liner was dead, our friend GW has seen to that.....

 

I think it would be a blow to terrorist organizations, but it wouldn't end it.

 

Which ones?

 

If Bin Laden is killed, he will be celebrated as a martyr and perhaps mourned by his comrades. Then another will step up to take his place. Killing or capturing one man will not rid the world of terrorism. Like the War on Drugs, the War on Terror is another fuckup invented by the U.S. government.

 

I don't think he would be celebrated as a martyr if he died from kidney problems.

 

All the Islamic ones.

 

Yep, the more people we kill, the more terrorists we create. And well, with the count of at the very least, 60,000 Iraqi civilians killed, all I can say is "uh oh".

Oh, look up in the sky, it's an American bomb. WTF it just landed on my house and killed my family and pet goat! YOU AMERICAN BASTARDS BURN IN HELL IM GONNA PUT A JIHAD ON YOU!!!!

Yes, thank the War in Iraq for continuing the creation of terrorists.

- N

 

let's not forget all the countries that backed the US and provided 'evidence' of iraqs WMD.

 

ESPECIALLY the netherlands.

 

If we kill enough Muslims, will there be any to wage Jihad?

 

Yes, because militantism is already brewing even more inside the U.S. -- non-Muslims, at that.

- N

 

Where? What? And who? Please explain your assertion - 'cause just saying it does not make it so.

Now you're starting to sound like me .....and from the response I get here, that ain't necessarily a good thing! ...LOL!

But in answer to your question; My guess is that we'd have to kill them all, 'cause I think the very last Muslim on Earth would strap C4 to his body and walk into a peaceful wedding reception and kill the women and children!

That used to be how warfare was waged, they killed the whole tribe to be sure that someone wouldn't grow up to seek revenge. (not that I'm advocating such a horrendous crime)

 

That was NOT a "horrendous crime" to the victors! Remember the perspectives, Spider, ...perspective helps us understand things a bit better, and without our silly-assed biases.

WTF?!?! Kill every last person who doesn't think like you? Kill the innocent, the grandparents, the children, the little girl running after her pet dog. Just indiscriminately kill them all? Why? Because they don’t think like you? Therefor they are going to try and kill you?

That’s the typical rational of a warmonger.

After we have moved away from reliance on ME oil and have stopped meddling in the affairs of the ME - I’m sure they'd leave us alone.
It's really that simple.
We should not support Israel by giving them money and weapons. Their country is based on "monotheism" and I don’t see how supporting that is going to be good for the USA.

I say leave them all alone and let the monotheists have the ME to themselves.

Next: So what if some Muslims think the World is supposed to, one day, be totally Islamic. That is never ever going to happen. There isn’t even a tiny remote possibility that is ever going to happen - so why worry about it? The ME is never ever going to even come close to dreaming of rivaling the USA in economic or military power.
It will never ever happen. Never. Ever.

We need to get off the oil addiction (it is going to run out sometime you know) leave the ME, stop supporting Israel and we’d be fine.


So that just leaves the “notion” of Islam.

Do you think the majority of Americans are going to start converting to Islam?
Hardly.
It is never ever going to happen.
If anything the reverse happens. Muslims quit Islam all the time.
I know many.
It’s very very common.


So stop with the kill kill kill them all talk.
It's psychopathically insane.

 

War is insane. War is hell. Trying to fight a war while sticking to a bunch of rules only prolongs the fighting. Look at Israel in its recent conflict with Hezbolla. They did everything they could to avoid civilian casualties, and it cost them the war.

If a major WMD ever goes off in the US, I think we'll start fighting the war on Islamofascism for real. Carpet bombing, firebombing, nukes. Kill 'em all or just enough of them that those who remain surender.

If the Islamofascists had any sense, they would stop causing trouble and just lay low for fifty or one hundred years. At that point, Europe will be theirs since the Native Europeans will have aborted and birth controlled their way to extinction. Then then could have their caliphate via the democratic process. One man, one vote, one time.
