How can India respond effectively to Muslim Terrorism without killing millions of innocent people? Recently I asked how can India respond to Muslim Terrorism that is funded to a large extent by Iran. A number of replies were to the effect that we should use nuclear weapons against Iran. The problem with that is that we would kill millions of innocent people who had nothing to do with the terrorism if we did that. Is there an effective way of responding to Muslim Terrorism with out killing many innocent perople in the process? If so, please tell me what it is. Sultan 395 you are very foolish. It is vicous evil criminals like yourself who commit acts of violence against the citizens of India who are responsible for much of the death and the misery in this world. I have never advocated the use of nuclear weapons against Iran because many innocent Iranians who do not share your desire for violence against India would be killed. I am very impressed with Mike's solution that India should blockade Iran so that you cannot export oil. That would shut off the money that you use to fund terrorism. Note to Ebenezer Scrooge. I have never given you a violation notice. I have been interested in your answers, even the ones that I did not agree with. I would be very interested in your answer.

What ways can we fight terrorism without engaging in military war? The UN has diminished power and International Law is almost non-existant. How can we fight transnational terrorism without this war? Traditionally it was branded a crime and fought through the courts.. Whats the best method? The Bali bombing in Oct 2002 killed 91 Australians. The Australian government cooperated with the Indonesian system, did not militarily attack the country and all terrorists involved have been sentenced and due to be beheaded. This has worked and the US can't find Bin Laden?

What is the main motive behind terrorism in muslims? Muslims say that in their quran they should not harm any person, not to take liqour, not to touch any lady other than their wife. But they are openly used to do so. It seams that the terrorism in muslims as they say Jihadi is not meant to help muslims, there is some other reason and motive behind.
Do you trust your the government to give an appropriate responce to terrorism? An artical in a national paper got me thinking. The artical basicly said that the very nature of democratic goverment meant that without strong 'moral' leadership a goverments response to terrorism would be, by the very nature of democracy, an over reaction. A excert from the story goes as follows... "Democratic societies have no such luxury. Thier internal logic makes them an attractive target for terrorists, because they can be trusted to give terrorism a wide exposure, creating unbearable popular pressure to meet it with a strong response. In a sense, democracies are victim to thier own strength." So do you trust your goverment to give an appropriate, measured and meaningfull response to terrorism? Please explain your reasonings. Thanks. P.S. The story is 'If only MPs were smarter on terror' by Waleed Aly, published in 'The Australian' on the 23 of July 2007.
What qualifies in you own definition as Terrorism? To me terrorism is the use of psychological, physical, economic, and any means of "force" through terror to achieve a political goal. Also it is a form a bargaining when no conventional options are possible this includes war.
What is the best way to fight the threat of terrorism? Terrorism is major problem at the moment. But is it possible to combat terrorists like they are a convential army like Israel is trying to do in Lebanon at the moment? Or does Guantanemo Bay, or detaining people indefinalty without trial really work? Does extra security really protect us? Is it ever possible to be secure? Somebody could blow up a shopping centre tommorow. (There is no protection there, and people will always find a way to break security if they are determined enough) If Osama Bin Laden was caught tommorrow would we have won or would they be 100 more terrorists to take his place? Is winning the hearts and minds of the terrorists and their supports the best way to combat terrorism? But how is this done?
Why do Americans think terrorism is a new thing? I asked this question already, but it got removed due to no best answer. I would like to know why Americans think terrorism didn't exist until September the 11th, in England I've known about terrorism all my life, have they heard of the IRA? Thank you, I've got some really good answers so far, unfortunately a couple of you seem to think this is a statement rather than a question, it IS a question, I would like your opinions on it. I don't think that ALL Americans are stupid, but you did elect George W Bush! (having said that, some English people voted for Tony Blair, and for that I apologise) Thank you, I've got some really good answers so far, unfortunately a couple of you seem to think this is a statement rather than a question, it IS a question, I would like your opinions on it. I don't think that ALL Americans are stupid, but you did elect George W Bush! (having said that, some English people voted for Tony Blair, and for that I apologise) Sorry I've written that twice, because of a problem with yahoo. :(
What is the best way to defeat terrorism? Should we use military? Should we use CIA methods? Do you think it is right for the government to tap our phones? Should we continue to let Mosques run that have been known to recruit terrorists? What do you think would be the best way to defeat terrorism?
What do you think about the safety from terrorism on planes? My brother and his wife are about to have a baby and they live 1800 miles away from me and they offered to fly me and my mom down there, but I am soooo afraid of flying because of terrorism. I don't have the best luck and I think that the plane I get on will be the one to have terrorists on it. I don't know what to do I am so scared, my mom is fine with flying, but I am so scared! What do you think of this situation?
What is the difference between terrorism and civil disobedience? I'm thinking recently how terrorism laws are now applying to the green movement where the government is trying to go after ELF (Earth Liberation Front) and ALF (Animal Liberation Front). Recent Briana Waters a violin teacher and mother of two was convicted of arson. They tried to convict her of terrorism related charges of "conspiracy and transportation of a destructive device". If all charges stuck she would have received up to 35 years in jails. However several informants also faced up the 35 years in jail and because of these strict laws pressured them into commit perjury which the federal government was all to happy to go ahead and use against Briana to make her an example regardless of her guilt. Not only did they informants get reduced sentence but they were payed over 100,000 dollars to do so. Anyone should be able to see the nefarious motives this could spur for one to character assassinate another innocent person. http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2008/03/373096.shtml There use to be the "Red Scare" and now there is the "Green Scare" http://portland.indymedia.org/en/topic/greenscare/
What is the relation between poverty and terrorism? How does poverty fuels terrorism? Could we solve part of the current issues related to terrorism by reducing poverty? How do you explain poverty being related to terrorism when Osama Bin Laden comes from a wealthy family?
How can a mass shooting NOT be terrorism? OK, the initial investigation, as you have probably heard, suggest that this guy did this not for religious reasons, but simply because of "he was insane" reasons. So they're saying it isn't terrorism. But shouldn't all mass shootings be terrorism? Shouldn't the Columbine massacre, or the Virginia Tech shooting also be terrorism? Since when do we define terrorism as only RELIGIOUS terrorism? Shouldn't any act, whether religiously fueled or not, that seeks to terrorize and kill a large group of people be terrorism?
What do you think about Congress's new act regarding suspected terrorism and deportation? So Congress has recently passed an act that states that anyone SUSPECTED of terrorism will be deported back to their home country and stripped of US citizenship. This is obviously directed towards immigrants. But what happens to the people suspected of terrorism that were born to immigrant parents in America? Or those whose families have been in America for several generations? Where do they get deported to? Or do they just get sent to jail?
How to support anti terrorism efforts of Indian Government, any link or idea? What can we do now to prevent further attacks on great cities of world? I think at least we can fund these efforts of developing country like India to fight terrorism with equipments they must have. Donating money for this noble purpose will be worth doing task. It is too much to tolerate this thing happening as we being a citizen of world. PEACE EVERYWHERE.
How can we stop terrorism in India as well as in world in particular? Corruption is dancing every nook and corner. First step is to stop removal of corruption from top to bottom. Political should not make it as a base for power and then start making money. Entire govt dept, security services such as police, defence, coast guard, ministers are doing maximum corruption and they should know what is life after seeing the incident of terrorism taken place in Mumbai. There should be a restriction in building money by each individual.
What if the best way to stop terrorism was to put a former terrorist in office? Here me out on this: Many people I've talked to complain that they just don't understand why terrorists are so hateful toward Americans, Israelis, etc. Also, the current approach doesn't seem to be working. So, what if the best way to stop terrorism was to put someone in power who truly understood it? What if we elected someone who could think like a terrorist in order to put an end to it? (Just thinking out loud. I know it'll never happen, and I doubt it'd work anyway. Terrorism has existed for so long that I doubt it'll ever go away. I just want to see what people think.)
What would make the Virginia Shooting an act of terrorism? according to police reports they ruled out the shootings as being an act of terrorism...ok...so what makes it terrorism?? Does the killer have to be middle-eastern? Does the killer have to use a car bomb instead of a gun? Does he need to fly a plane into a building or carry a koran? ...this was a planned event. The killer purchased 2 weapons at 2 different times. He allegedly sent written bomb threats at an earlier time to test security. This wasnt a disturbed individual who just snapped. He has been planning this for awhile. ...What would make the Virginia Shooting an act of terrorism?
How important is it to occupy Iraq or Afghanistan to control terrorism? The Iraq's are not terrorist and either are the Afghani's. Terrorist roam free throughout the middel east. Some terrorist groups have originated in Pakistan, others from Saudi Arabia.

What are some examples of terrorism influenced through religion? I have to write a paper on occasions where there was terrorism influenced by religion. I want to touch up on different terrorism events throughout history (by talking about ones within different centuries). Was the Albigensian Crusade a form of terrorism? I am definitely going to use 911, but can you think of any other terrorist events in history that was influenced by religion? Thanks is advance.
How do you think religious terrorism could be stopped? Will there be a day without wars? Will there be a day everyone having their own right to follow their own religion. Respect for the faith of others, atheist or theist of any belief. How can we stop religious terrorism? Cara, the war in Kashmir isnt just because of Hindus. Most of us Hindus havent gone on war on the name of religion.
Why can no one see that terrorism is a direct response to our politics? We are constantly interfering with other countries through our agencies and military powers. We have troops stationed all over the world and continue to try and control the world. In doing this and interfering with other countries sovereignty one can only assume that these countries would want to retaliate. So why do we americans keep falling for the "terrorism" bullshit when it is our own country causing all of these attacks?
How should the United states treat terrorism? I researched this topic and after seeing movies and reading about how the United States is involved in this war on terror, I'm disgusted. But, many of the materials I have read and seen are dated a few years back and I'm confused about what has changed, if anything. So, what torture methods are approved today and how do YOU think that the U.S. should go about treating terrorism? Are there any guidelines, not just that crap of enemy combatants, in figuring out how is a terrorist? How do you think one should determine this?

Hezbollah-Began creating mosques, schools in the poor Shiite neighborhoods of Beirut Hamas-Was designed to protect the social service institutions formed by Sheik Yassin Taliban-Collected arms, imposed law, and order, and opened roads.

How do you define and explain Hindu terrorism? Need answers for these questions too: What is its inspiration? How does it terrorize and whom does it terrorize? What parts of the world does it bomb? What weapons does it use? How often does it shoot people or bomb places? Was it ever involved in any real genocide in India? Why does it want to terrorize or destruct or partition India? Is it or Islamic terrorism more destructive/ greater threat? Was it (Hindus) ever threatened in any way by anyone?

Should they be more open, so that, general public are aware of everything, feel secured and act against crime?

Why would he choose to make Americans less safe so he can please his left wing radical base? If not, please provide in detail how Obama has been tough on terrorism.

Anyone who attempts to actually answer any or all of these questions will get 10 points.
What is your first memory of terrorism? When if ever did your view of the world change? My first memory of terrorism was in 72 when the Israeli atheletes were killed. Later in 79 I saw all the Iranian students chanting death to America while Americans were being held hostage. Although this was one of the reasons why I joined the milirary I didn't really grasp the threat. My worldview changed in Sept. 11, 2001. I was at work and kept seeing people walking to the breakroom for long periods. I finally got curious about what was going on and walked into the breakroom just in time to see the 2nd tower fall. At that moment I knew terrorism could no longer continue unchallenged. Please share your stories I am curious about how others have been effected. Enlightened Man: Did you even read the question. This was a personal question concerning how terrorism has effected you. Not an open invitation to rant against Israel. Israel is a state and has the right to protect her citizens and sovreignty against those who have sworn to destory it. I assume you latched onto my Israeli Athlete memory, and I must take from your rant that you agree with terrorists killing innocent athletes. Titus: I totally agree with you and some of the other posters. We do indeed have domestic terrorism, and it cannot be tolerated anymore than international terrorism. Terrorism is terrorism no matter what label you put on it. Jillybeansmommy: Unfortunately there are many people who believe that we bring terrorism upon ourselves. I do not now, nor have ever agreed with that justification. The killing of innocents in the absence of defense or war is simply wrong. Theforce51: You really need to get out the basement more. Mr. Kennedy would never stand idle in the face of terrorism. His actions His actions in the Cuban blockade taking the world to the brink of nuclear war is evidencde of that. As GB Sr. if you have some evidence he killed Kennedy I am sure the world would love to see it. Easyboy; Trust me when I tell you that you are preaching to the choir. :) symetry48228: You get it, definitely cannot expand on that. I will say I hope that we end racism in all forms though, because it is the ugliest of all human vices. Debbie: I am like you so many of these events just leave me dumbfounded and wondering why. My personal opinion with things like Columbine is that we have done our best to eliminate personal responsibily for actions in this country. This is a distasterous precedent for any society to set as it is personal responsibily that guides our actions. Robin: I can only imagine how terrible that must have been for you. I live in Texas, but my wife is from the Bronx, and still has family and friends in NYC. It was very tense in our house waiting for confirmation that everyone was ok. texas1970: I absolutely remember those events, and many more that are just too numerous to list. As for the UT Bell Tower incident I also remember that well (Charles Whitman). My family lived in Austin at the time when it occurred.
How does the knowledge about the differences between modern and traditional terrorism help in? As a newly hired planner in a homeland security unit of a large city police department (think Chicago, New York, or Los Angeles), part of your job is to anticipate terrorist attacks in your city. How does the knowledge about the differences between modern and traditional terrorism help you in your job? What events from history (cite at least two) might have relevance to a large diverse, American city in 2009? Why?
I would like to get a career in anti-terrorism. How would I go about doing that? I am 29 and interested in anti-terrorism. I have been thinking about joining the military. I am getting old, but my physical condition will not be a problem. I would like to be deeply involved in the process of anti/counter terrorism. I have an AS in criminal justice and a BA in psychology. I am having trouble finding anything that doesn't require a military background. If anyone has any information or help, I would appreciate it.
How do you define the loss of life and property of innocent victims of rampant universal Terrorism? I include in this State Terrorism, Group Terrorism and Communal Terrorism. An eye for an eye is the order of the day and those who preach nonviolence, social and political dignity; right to life and orderly living do not care for the innocent victims that include from toddlers to elderly. Whether Bin Laden destroys or America destroys, the destruction and its consequences are the same. In all confusion of thoughts and convictions clashing one another I ask this question: Why God who created all is a silent spectator to this inhuman rampage? Who will answer?
What are a liberal's alternatives to the ways in which effectively combat terrorism? Someone who is a liberal mentioned in an answer that he could answer this question. I'd really like to hear the alternatives. I've already heard the Ron Paul solution. It appears to me that terrorism is happening world wide with or without America being involved and it's usually done by Islamic radicals. No offense meant to Islamic people who don't condone it. It seems to happen Islamic people by Islamic people in some places. I appreciate the real effort made by some to come up with alternatives. However, I disagree that there is a solution that could be described as simple. I am still hoping that the one who came up with the question will answer.
Is the Government ignoring issues like crime and the economy for Terrorism? I dunno. Are they? In Britian kids are being killed, knife crime is supposedly on the rise. The economy is heading into a recession with no way of stopping it. Yet... terrorism? Do you think our Government is using terrorism as an excuse to avoid its responsibilities and its obvious failings. Hey they lost the Glasgow East by-election and that was meant to be the third safest seat in Scotland. What's your opinion? All opinions welcome.
How does the US defeat an ideal about terrorism using violence? You can kill people, but the ideal will still be alive because it is something taught. I,m saying that we should let the extremist kill people and try to conquer America, but their has to be a better way of dealing with this situation. Especially since innocent civilians are dying and interesting enough the US government want to use research to fund a project to understand these cultual differences to help change ideals of terrorism in the world. It took a while for the US to realize this, but we have to start somewhere. *I'm not saying (first sentence)
How does Obama plan to protect the US from terrorism? Please do not try to lie to me and say that leaving Iraq will make us safe. Terrorists have been attacking the US and other countries for almost 40 years no. Back then it was high-jacking mostly but they have gotten progressively more violent. Regardless, what is his policy on defending Americans from terrorism?
Is terrorism a military or law enforcement problem? I mean, which of the two would be better used to try to solve the issue of terrorism? Personally I would go with law enforcement because honestly it's not possible to just invade and occupy countries like crazy. You'll run out of money, plus you already have a strained military. Your thoughts?
How do we deal with terrorism in the community? East London - A white victim killed - No Police Help. If the boy had been non-white all hell would have broken out. This is race relations gone mad. Official priorities have created it and the police are overwhelmed. Tell the families that live in this area this not terrorism! Fear runs their lives and movement. The police are trying to get a quart into a pint pot. So here is a suggestion Make the official representatives of their area, what ever their title, live in the area they are representing. Make it the law. Not in the best house but in each of Social Groups for the time they are in office. Make their houses comfortable and furnished them same so that they feel at home. All that's left is to reinstate democracy. We haven't got it now. M.Ps obey the party whip and vote the way they are told. So what do you think? No riots or anarchy. Just democracy. Let's start by writing to our MPs What is your solution?
Where Does The Line Come Between Rebellion and Terrorism?

Where does the line come between justifiable revolution and terrorism?

Should India and America together fight against terrorism from now on ? India's geographic position is very good and will be really helpful to tackle Islamic terrorism. It can also be a good deterrent to China. India's Navy is world class and we have good control in the Indian ocean. The terrorists have become stronger. Pakistan instead of fighting against extremists is nurturing them.
