Besides killing them back, or using free speech to criticize them, what do these people expect us to do about extremists?

Basically my opinion Wink

Quote:I just think about how these people would respond if it was another group being 'offended'. Let's say there's a group that draws satirical and offensive drawings of KKK leaders, and then two KKK members show up at the group's building and tries to shoot them over the offense. Would these people say "yeah well, they should have known better"? It's just another manifestation of the untouchable bubble (or, untouchabubble) that religion enjoys right off the bat, where criticism and satire is somehow forbidden just based on the mere fact that it's a 'religion'.
I mostly agree, but I still think nazism and racial supremacism is way worse than any religion - I don't think the two are comparable - Heck, I don't even think Islamic terrorist groups are comparable because many have different goals and methodologies and consider everyone else to be an apostate. I think any idea can and should be criticized, at least to keep its proponents in check (groups become extreme and violent when left free without any checks and balances).




Btw, I think this has little do to with gun control and gun laws. Terrorists usually have a political/ideological purpose and they devote their lives, physical well being and families to achieve what they wish - If they need a gun, they'll arrange for it; if they want to rape someone, they'll find a way to do it; If they want to behead some journalist, they won't mind doing it live on international TV.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
