Do you think ISIS/Al Queda terror will end eventually?

Optimistically I think it will, look back over past decades and all these types of movements and campaigns, the 'RA included, sort of mutate, evolve and eventually fizzle out, possibly replaced by something else better or worse or halt altogether.

Well it seems to have died down a lot. When was the last terrorist attack even? august in barcelona? Maybe I'm wrong but its the last one I can recall

Oh yeah it’s been a full 3 months since the last one so it must have died down.

I don’t think it’s going to die down anytime soon. I think they’ll possibly be lying low over winter and as soon as spring/summer come around again not attack’s will take place.

They will go and be replaced by another group or groups, look at the lat 30 years or so;
PLO
Black September
PFLP
Abu Nidal
Action Direct
Red Brigades
Red Army Faction
PIRA
Bader-Meinhoff

They had their time and they were overtaken by new terrorist groups.

Everything comes to an end eventually.

Yes, but it will be a few more years I should think. At least a decade, possibly more.
But as others have said, something or someone else will take its place before very long, so terrorism will remain, it will just change colour or flavour the way it's always done.

^^ Spot on, decades more of this ahead of us.

Mentally ill leftists will try and minimize it and normalize it - and with a straight face tell you that the KKK are more of a threat in the modern world.

Not in a million years. The belief system behind it is incompatible with modern (I.e. post 1600!) society.

The more we allow these mediaeval beliefs to be held openly and the more we normalize certain rules and practices in the guide of "culture" then the more of a footing they will have.

It will get worse if anything. Not to compare the two but someone referenced the IRA. They had a goal. Therefore a negotiating point and and an ending to hostilities.

What's the goal of Islamic terrorism? To kill non believers and establish a global Caliphate. I don't see negotiation there.

So, no I don't see it ending.

No, sadly

More than 300 people died in a mosque attack in Egypt on Friday.

If facebook doesn't have a temporary profile filter for it then it doesn't count.

Eventually yeah, but there will be something else to take their place. They are the most fundamentally at odds with evolving civilisation at the present time, but there's plenty more hot on their heels. Wait until the Christians get going, or the sea levels start to rise, plenty of fun times ahead for future generations, if we make it that far.

Egypt this week springs to mind with over 300 deaths.

Will humans stop being violent with each other?

Not in the foreseeable future.

well said.
Wasn't bin laden an ally to the americans during the cold war in the 80s. CIA arming his group with weapons to fight the soviets. Yesterday's ally tomorrow's enemy. As in things change.

It's probably going to get worse before it gets better.

I'm sure something else will come along to keep the easily-scared full of fear, and the easily-riled full of anger.
