Exactly.

I can never figure out why people always want us to react exactly as terrorists want.

So what you are saying is if you don't react, they will simply stop? These are not 3 year old children having a temper tantrum. These are murderous religious nuts who are fed by their own religious ideals. They will now stop because you say "go in peace" or simply ignore them.

No. I'm saying that broadcasting terrorists message is broadcasting the terrorist's message. You understand that was the reason he wanted it recorded, right?

Bingo. That is elephant in the room, now isn't it....

Radical Islam wants to have a war with the US, because having an enemy brings people together. We don't want a war with radical Islam, nor do we want to push moderate Muslims into choosing for or against us.

I actually kind of agree that there's no reason to air his pledge of allegiance to ISIS (the caliphate). It's quite a reward for doing a bad thing, however sincere or insincere he was about it. We all know he did, and releasing a tape or transcript of it seems to further his ends and possibly encourage others to copy him.

Whatever information is or is not released, I won't be reading or listening to it, personally. Everyone else will have to find out what is released and what is redacted without me.

We know he did it. We also know this administration insists on calling him a lone wolf, while the CIA and FBI is discovering otherwise. Seems to me there are things he said in that tape that Obama and Lynch do not want us to hear.

The further his end and encourage others part? Are you kidding me? These terrorists know their goal. They will strike regardless.

You don't think it's a really big reward? Why does he deserve that?

So let's look at this. I'm a Jew. I say never again. And mean it. But people have 'never again' a bit mixed up. Back during rise of the Nazis, there wasn't a group of radical Jews mixing amongst peaceful Jews, killing everyone in their path in the name of Judaism and God. There weren't Jews who were outright saying they wanted to kill us - and have done it over and over again to prove their point. We KNOW this isn't all Muslims. We DO know this is SOME Muslims. So it stands to reason, Mosques should get greater scrutiny, given we have seen some of Imams share the same views as the attackers (see video of Imam at Orlando mosque saying killing gays is doing them a favor). It stands to reason we would want to slow down or stop the bringing in of refugees until we can screen them properly, not half-assed. And for God's sakes, work with the churches in Syria to bring in Christian Syrians who are being persecuted by ISIS. I dare say the priests there know their parishioners and have for a very long time. Europe is a very good lesson as to why it makes no sense to wantonly bring people in. Our own CIA and FBI have warned they cannot properly vet.

We know who our enemy is - Radical Islam. They are screaming it from the rooftops. It's time we listen and do it right.

PP here. I think you are both over and underestimating Islam and Muslims. But I was referring to Ebola, Zika, and other recent episodes of mass hysteria in this country. We're not rational people, in general.

I disagree with many of your points, but you sound reasonable. Many people lately simply sound hysterical.

There was no controversy in American minds as to who caused 9/11. There was no whitewashing.

Because the Right and the terrorists have a more shared worldview than they'd like to admit.

Funny, those on the right would say this about the left. So a bad argument, for either side really. Let's not make this radical Muslims plus far right Americans vs. the left and good Muslims. You have no right.

How about radical Muslims vs. the left, the right, the middle, the gay, the straight, and yes people who speak out against gay 'rights', homeless, women, children, religious and non religious. We're all American and that's what we have in common. The left is trying to divide here and it's scary.
