...........or maybe just deport them back from where they came?

Pro USA & Israel

Fair enough, I'll rephrase it.

Stop trying to understand and justify terrorism, thereby excusing it.

They murder kids ffs and you're on a virtue trip.

"Ooooh let's understand why these middle class f***ers murder kids" "let's look beyond and empathise with their feelings yar"
"Let's pity them, yar, they're victims too poor things".
I imagine you're very much like Cassandra's boss out of Only fools and horses.

You cannot justify terrorism and I would not and have not.

I fear for the Muslim community in Sri Lanka.

These inhuman people are setting out to push all Muslims towards having to fight. They have been taught it is a duty. The brainwashing needs to be understood, rooted out and undermined.

Please tell me the most effective approach.

And by way I don’t care how you imagine me.

Good post.

Become a Sunni Muslim Maple and your problems are solved.

The most 'effective approach' for all communities was not allowing the Islamic population to exceed two percent. If you look at the demographic map of where attacks happen both ways and where they don't, that's the conclusion.

This is a general reality about the effectiveness of integration and harmony between groups. If you have too many of a distinctly different culture, they don't feel the need to integrate and stop trying....bingo problems.

This common sense is and was missing and now you have an unstoppable train which is going to play its self out.....it's that 's***e sandwich' Maple...which....you deem acceptable in other spheres...but you don't seem to like here.

There are no 'nice but effective' solutions now. There are only solutions with less death than other solutions....but as usual we will only get politically expedient solutions until the s***e hits the fan.

As for your concern for the Muslims of Sri Lanka. I have an understanding of this and it's a fair concern.
However Christian and other religious communities have been practically wiped out in most majority Islamic countries. Those that remain are regularly subjected to attacks, most of which we don't get to hear about.

So, this in reality is the nature of some religions. They come with a percent of fundamentalists, which won't live alongside other religions. Islamic reformers have been banging on about the problems within Islam for decades now and the left have demonised them and the mainstream media ignored them......Well, the chickens are coming home to roost for everybody and I'm very angry because the lessons are people's lives.

Haha, you really are funny. Shame really as this is serious.

Let me repeat for the hard of thinking.

In Sri Lanka, I am not aware of any previous Jihadi violence, this came as a shock.

It appears likely the violence is not related to indigenous pressures. Rather, it seems similar to international terrorism and a Jihadi philosophy.

The terrorists have an agenda including trying to push ordinary Muslims into joining their dehumanised regime. They foment hatred between Muslims and non-Muslims as a part of that. They also try to scare Muslims into providing tacit - and possibly practical - support.

I am extremely concerned for Muslims being attacked, just as I am concerned for any other group.

ChrisGC, may I ask again what your solution would be to the issue of international Muslim terrorism.
