Who said this now? Did the whole thread agree on it?

Did the whole thread agree on it? No, nor did I claim it did. My post says "some people". As for who advocated it, maybe you missed this particular gem:

I think a deterrent (though not a solution) would be to start locating individuals who are known to be involved with ISIS. This would be a multi-government operation and could only target individuals who were unequivocally proven to be ISIS members. It would also have to be kept secret to prevent suspicion amongst people who have a predisposition for political correctness. Undergo a campaign of torture on ISIS members. Keep it top secret. Once captured, expose them to indescribable pain such as chopping limbs off, pulling finger nails out, removing eyes, excising areas of skin etc. However DO NOT let them die. Tend to their wounds, keep them fed and watered and do whatever is necessary to prevent infection, excessive blood loss or anything else that could shorten their experience and deliver them to the paradise that they think is their final destination. They actually desire death - so keep them alive and make the experience one of intolerable pain.

Seriously, do people in this country not study the history of this island at all. What did internment and torture do in the North except lead to a massive increase in violence and exacerbated sectarian tensions. Many of the 'suspects' that were arrested and tortured turned out to have no connection with paramilitaries at all.

Massive difference and you know that. The nationalist community were indigenous and 40% of the population.

This shower are about 5%, non indigenous and if they don't like, they can go to a safe country like Syria or Iraq. Win-Win.

Read through the thread it's full of xenophobic language.

That's terrible. All those poor people who get killed every year by xenophobic comments on Boards. It's a tragedy so it is.

By this logic we can tell unionists go home to Britain/England

(if these attackers turn out like the Paris attackers and have European passports?)

So a Unionist with 300 years of family history in the north is the equivalent of a Moroccan who got a passport last year? You should go up to the Shankill Road and tell them that, I'm sure they'll enter into a polite discussion with you about it.

Same problem you will find in France,UK and Belgium,where the muslim population is biggest in Europe.

Well, as I've said before and I'll say again, I feel remarkably safe here. I live directly across the road from the refugee house here too. There has never been even a hint of trouble from the people that have passed through, except for the first few weeks when they managed to keep setting off the fire alarms with their cooking. :rolleyes: Even after all the refugees were brought in and including the historical turks, Muslims still account for only about 7% of the population here. Even though they're one of the biggest alternative religions, Islam isn't afforded the same legal rights as Christianity. Islam has always been treated as a second-class religion. My boyfriend is a social care worker here - he has said that far and away the biggest problem is the grandkids of the Turks that came in the 60s. They feel they were never afforded the same opportunities as other Germans, and they tend to drop out of school earlier, tend to have low-income jobs, tend to have more kids and earlier. These 13 and 14 years olds form gangs and carry knives, particularly those in the city centre. I would be much more panicked walking past that group of kids that I would walking through a street full of refugees.

At no point have I said that we should accept radicals. I firmly believe that they should be rooted out. I say that not only about muslims, but also neo-nazis and extreme left wingers. The focus should be on removing these people from the country, or if citizens, from society. The other focus needs to be on the root causes of home grown terrorism and how we can prevent the current generations of kids from heading down extremist paths.

All in all, Islam has had very little impact on my life personally. Unlike Christianity I might add.

It is fascinating how crazy people can get when they don't understand a situation and feel threatened. I am guessing most of the illogical suggestions are coming from posters less than 25 years old with little life experience.

Now, I was with you most of the way, but I think you're barking up the wrong tree here. I would be thoroughly surprised if the most extreme posters in this thread were millenials. IMO they're more likely to be middle-aged, possible with families. That kind of rage takes time to build up.
