Is It Time To Accept The War (Jihad) Declared On Us?

[youngmafbog]

Seems to me we(the West) need to accept we are at war. So we should formally accept this and start interning those that wish us(or potentially wish us) ill.
Enough of talk let ys start to walk the walk. We all know the religion behind this let us get that reliogion to flush out those that sympathise and support the jihad and intern them.

Divebuddy, //jno. I can't recall any particular mention of ISIS in relation to Nice. Just some nut job Tunisian/French/Madman. //

"It follows an earlier call by so-called Islamic State (IS) spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani for IS followers to do exactly what this truck driver did."

Yes, it is time to accept that war has been declared on us.

OTT to me as well - but I hold to our needing to know who is in our country and, regrettably, their religion - or lack of it.

I'm pretty sure the authorities accepted we are at war some time ago.

[bednobs]

that also seems rather OTT to me J - how would knowing that help? unless you then go on and restrict those people in some way, to prevent them driving motor vehicles for example? didn't hitler start this way - by identifying jews before exterminating them? Seems like a pretty slippery slope to me. Yes, we should accept we are at war but impisoning or identifying muslims is not going to help, in my opinion

If only!

Naomi, just imagine you're chairing a COBRA meeting. What would be your first action in the war on terrorism?

[naomi24]

You really don't want to know .... and I'm too tired to tell you.

[Zacs-Master]

Ha! Have a coffee and indulge me.

[naomi24]

I really, seriously, can't be bothered. Sorry. Look elsewhere for entertainment.

[jourdain2]

You don't restrict anybody at all. If, however, there is an absolute outrage - you know where to go for the answers. I would not go so far as to make swearing allegiance to the country a condition of living here, for instance - but it wouldn't be a bad idea would it? They do that in France.

I simply know that it is a good idea to know who is in your country and their likely allegiances. What is wrong with that?

[Zacs-Master]

One could be forgiven for thinking Naomi doesn't have an answer.

[naomi24]

Think what you like. It's of no consequence.

[Zacs-Master]

Seems like it.

[anneasquith]

Not like Naomi to voice her opinion. Jourdain you think people are going g to voice their allegiances to anyone who asks ?

[jim360]

What was even the point of posting then Naomi? It's the Pierre de Fermat approach to problem-solving...

[naomi24]

anneasquith, // Not like Naomi to voice her opinion.//

Did you mean "Not like Naomi NOT to voice her opinion"? That would be more accurate.

[naomi24]

Jim, the point of posting was to give divebuddy a link - if that's ok with you.
