What to do about terrorists?
On several British Blogs this morning it is reported that the train stations lie within heavily populated Muslim communities (Lebanese and Bangladesh communities). This has generated many comments about the message from the terrorists. Were they sending a message to moderate, wealthy Muslims there? Or were those stations picked, as they were within the Muslim community and easy access? Many questions need to be answered.
The Muslim community has helped since 9/11 here in the U.S., but a much more intensive commitment from them for assistance is now required. These terrorists live in the community of people where they blend in culturally. They probably attend mosques and are known within these communities. The world needs to enlist the real help and commitment of the Muslim world not to have their religion hijacked any more by these radicals. Otherwise the world will have no peace and security.
It is equally important for the Arab world to create opportunity for their people to live meaningful lives with opportunity for people to express their views to government leaders without fear of reprisal for their comments. And policies, which disenfranchise their populations to the benefit of a few of the powerful, must stop. The rest of the world community needs to provide incentives for the powerful leaders to consider changing their policies to the benefit of their people.
This may sound idealistic and not possible. But we must all work to creating new solution paths to solve these challenging problems, or there will be no more "peace on earth, good will towards man".
Now how about some other ideas from out there in Blog land in how to solve this problem.

Sometimes I wonder about the absolute stupidity of blaming MUSLIMS as a group for the terrorism of a few.
Should Muslims blame CHRISTIANS because of a genocide during which hundreds of Muslims was killed in Bosnia?
Sometimes we should just look in the mirror and try and see what we look like from the their side of the glass.
I am not blaming Muslims as a group for the terrorism of a few. I have stated that we need the Muslim community help to weed out these few, because they may be living amongst them and acting suspiciously. If they were right wing Fundamentalist Christians doing the terrorism I would ask the moderate Christians to help as well. What's wrong with that approach?
