You would have us do the difficult task while people die when there is no need for them to die at all.
I am unaware of a plan that would prevent innocent people from dying.
If you actually do know of one, I am very interested in hearing about it.
Can you explain one to me?
Wait, I might understand what you meant if you answer the following question honestly: Do you consider *any* Muslims to be innocent people in this catastrophe?
Islam has to reform and the only way we can help it reform is to keep the "good" Muslims in the "bad" Muslims so as they can reform the "bad" Muslims.
Or we could help it reform by giving example after example after example of what a good person should do.
And when we are able to find the specific people responsible... stop them using force.
But your plan is to make other people do the dirty work so that you don't have to worry about the "hard task."
Other people who do not have all the advantages we do.
Other people who are not in as good a position to help the problem as we are.
And, of course, even if your plan was implemented it wouldn't stop the deaths of innocent Westerners anyway. It's a pipedream.
The terrorists cannot be contained for the same reason they cannot be kept out of the country.
They don't have a country, they don't have an area. They're already inside every major nation. They don't grow by birth. They grow by indoctrination over communication (internet) which has nothing to do with immigration policies.
Stopping immigration will affect the problem in exactly the same way as continuing immigration as it is currently done... no significant affect whatsoever.
I don't want to be a part of the world you're trying to shape with this "solution" just as I don't want to be a part of the world that the terrorists are trying to shape.
You're still being a part of the problem.
Your idea is helping to create a bad world.
You want to stop bad-world-number-1, but you only want to replace it with bad-world-number-2. We've seen this cycle repeat itself throughout history. You just want one more turn of the bad-world circle.
Why not fight against the bad?
Why not aim for a good world?
Why not do things that are not similar to how the terrorists do things?
