If the "peaceful" muslim community is seriously concerned with putting an end to these cowardly acts, they should be willing to place themselves in harm's way to save the innocent victims of this so-called Jihad. Their young men will need to infiltrate the inner circles of these terrorist organizations. There has to be knowledge among the muslim community as to who these recuiters are, and which clerics are inciting hatred. These are the people that need to be stopped before they infect the minds of more young impressionable young men an women. ...

The Muslim community needs to step up to the plate and show the world that they are truly committed to putting an end to this madness. So far they've done nothing but sit back and watch it unfold. Sure they've publicly denounced it, but actions speak louder then words.

Leave the Muslim world alone. They don't want to be our friends. They don't want our permissivenes, vulgarity, and other things that could change their world. Their world will change eventually, but slowly and on their own timeline.

If you don't want sharks to bite you. Stay out of the water.

1. The British government should do what they did with IRA: require that a political body be created who will discuss peace wth the government.

2. The EU should treat all Muslims with respect and give them more job access.

3. Moderate Muslims should discuss their problems such as jobs, living standards with their respective governments candidly.

If the Western powers think that they can control the rest of the world including Muslims either by force or by deceit, they are asking for everlasting trouble.

I believe a major problem is that most of the countries in Europe are very homogenous. They do not have a good track record of immigrants assimilating into the population. In America, while there is trouble, I believe that Muslim immigrants and their children feel much more a part of the country that they call home.

The governments of Britain and the United States did terrorism a favor by diverting their attention from Afghanistan (base for Al Qaeda) to Iraq. It is now too difficult to tell American or British voters that their leaders messed up; [Prime Minister Tony Blair] and [President Bush] can never confess. But, as in Vietnam, the best course is to declare victory and bring the troups home.

The next task would be to avail one's self of advice and support from moderate Muslims, and to make visible progress towards an economically viable Palestinian state. Lessen the reasons moderates have for sympathy toward terrorists. And, by all means, foster the learning of Arabic by security services. As any street person would say, show some respect. And, as any military person would say, honor the threat.

Before government leaders act, they need to assess as many considerations as possible, but most of all the root of the cause. Rational behavior seems as antiquated today as a horse and carriage or typewriter. Consider President Bush's response to 9/11. He said, and I paraphrase, "You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists," and his solution of revenge was dropping more bombs than his predecessor did in Bosnia.

Another theory rooted in wisdom has sat quietly on sidelines for centuries, and has emerged from time to time as a more powerful tool: Non-violent intervention. Great leaders of the twentieth century used the tactics. Mohandas Ghandi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. are two who neither had the power of government or large corporations, but acheived specific goals without slaughtering others. They believed in the decency of all humans if they were given the chance to exhibit this power.

Deportation of "homegrown" terrorists will only shift the problem somewhere else. It will not solve the problem. Witness what the US has done with thousands of young gang members whose parents came here from South and, especially, Central America: we have deported these thugs and they are now causing massive fear and intimidation in countries where they have no roots. It seems that generations of judicial "velvet glove" attitudes in England and America have hurt rather then helped our societies.

For communities to come together in Europe, citizens need to watch out for each other. Surely, someone in the Pakistani community in UK must have noticed the path the suicide bombers were headed down.

There needs to be dialogue, public discussions on these issues. The Department of Homeland Security, FBI, Congress, and the White House need to engage the different Islamic communites. Young men such as those who carried out the attacks in London feel a sense of alienation, shame, and a need to seek revenge. The war in Iraq has been a rallying point. Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay resonate with these young men and their need to get revenge.

If immigrants want to continue partaking of the benefits of European society, then they should accept, or at least respect these values and not "ghettoize" themselves intellectually and physically.

If the moderate Muslims want to live in peace with the rest of the world, they need to start forcefully speaking out not only against terrorists, but against attacks against those whose religious beliefs are not their own.

It is true that [suicide bombers] make no direct demands and don't negotiate, but it is not true that they are just a cult of sick individuals who happen to want to kill. ... They have stated what their objections are to what specific countries are doing in foreign lands.

They are doing this because of foreign occupation in the Middle East and military presence around the world in foreign countries. They are fighting against a military that is way stronger than they could ever take on directly. They are doing this because of the humilitation and near-total lack of concern for the Muslim people in those countries. They are fighting for the right of their people to live without violence, without oppression, and without foreign entities taking their resources or controlling their resources.

We need to be very careful about sacrificing civil liberties on the alter of security. Can there be any reasonable assurance that liberties sacrificed will bring a commensurate degree of safety to the public? I think it would be very easy to give up significant freedoms while realizing only inconsequential gains in security. ...

We have a way of life that stands for fundumental ideals that our forefathers have already faught and died for throughout history. It would be cowardice to impale those ideals on the sword of jihad because we are afraid. The real challenge, if our courage is great enough, is to stay the course and remain true to our ideals and way of life. This is precisely what the terrorists most want to take from us. It is the victory we must not give them.

Which organisation has carried out the largest number of suicide bombings so far? Most will be surprised to learn that it's not an Islamic terrorist group in the Middle East. In fact it's the LTTE [Tamil Tigers] from Sri Lanka who have done so. And yet this organization continues to operate in European countries that supposedly have "friendly" relationships with Sri Lanka. How would a British person feel if Al Qaeda was openly allowed to set up it's offices in Sri Lanka? European goverments need to take action against all these terrorist groups. Not just the one's that engage in terrorism in Europe.

Taking rights and freedom of movement away from honest, hard working citizens will not hurt evil cowards. This would only anger more people. The Governments must know about any potentially violent people, where they are, and what they are doing. Anyone that went to terror training camp should not be allowed to return to the civilized world.

People can talk all they want and make every claim possible regarding who is to blame for every 'terrorist' attack, why someone actually did it, that Muslim's are full of hate, are barbaric, or whatever. None of this is going to solve the problem.

We, American's and the western world, fought hot and cold wars to preclude Nazism, Fascism, Communism, from taking over our country. WE, on the other hand, are now trying to shove OUR form of government down other culture's throats. They resent it. They resent our 'giving' not selling, Israel Three Billion Dollars worth of Military Equipment and Ordinance with which to blow the Palestinians to Kingdom Come. Until we recognize that these people are telling us to "get out of their face' there will NEVER be peace with the world of Islam. THIS is something you can put in the bank. Killing them off one by one is not the answer. It will only make them more resolute in their cause.

Why is it we cannot LISTEN to their concerns. Listen to WHY they resent our actions so greatly. Try to understand why they are HAPPY to DIE for their cause. Being the big tough guy and talking trash accomplishes nothing other tell the rest of the world how tunnel visioned and smug and self serving we are. We are in a world which is becoming smaller with every passing day. We need to learn how to live in it. We are not powerful enought to Rule the World ... which, to the uninformed, is exactly what we are on a mission to do.

I've lived in France for more than two years, as a foreigner, I can fully sensor those tensions and hostilities between Muslim population and those "white" French. Althought the government has adopted various laws and legislations to ensure the racial equality and dismiss discrimination, the Muslim population still live mieserably, we saw Muslim ghetos everywhere. One of my Muslim friends once told me a "joke." After graduation, she had sent out 134 CVs, only 12 enterprises gave her interview opportunities. Then she changed her name--from an Arab name to a "real" French name, then sent out again 50 CVs, and 43 gave her positive reponses. So, you see...

I would not want Christianity judged by those who fail to understand its primal message of love for God and man; therefore I cannot judge Islam by extremist/fundamentalists who distort the teachings and violate that message. This is a battle, a struggle in thought, thinking, attitudes. Shipping people elsewhere will not solve the problem or create security for some. I have to be the change I want to see in the world and live my own Christian ideals fully, consistently. Yes, I do believe in the power of one, the power of prayer, and absolutely in the one God, whatever we call Him/Her.

Education is carried out by many means: hearing, reading, seeing, playing. In many Mosques the prachers encourage violence and give the title "Shahid" - martyr to murderers. Once it is accepteble to murder for one cause, it becomes permissible to murder for anther.

The best solution is that the Moslem community world wide assure that there is no preaching of violence, no condoning of murder of anyone - not sisters who have a boyfriend, not "infidels", and also ensuring full and open cooperation with the police and other security organisations on all occasions.

A "No Tolerance" of violence approach is needed.

Firstly, I'd say this: Let's remedy the causes of terrorism. Generally that's political frustration and not a question of religion. The situation in the Middle East was not created by Islamic beliefs. The situation in Kashmir was not created by Islamic belief. The situation in Afghanistan was not created by Islamic beliefs. The situation in Iraq was not created by Islamic beliefs. So we have to identify the core of the problem, and that is political in nature. And when we know the real causes of what drives people to desperation, then we can get a grasp on it.

The Western world has to take a close look to see which forces are in play in order to differentiate between belief and things that have nothing to do with belief. We as Muslims could also ask the same things: like what's happening in Northern Ireland. If I as a Muslim came to you and were to say: What's happening in Northern Ireland reflects Catholic and Protestant beliefs, then you would say: you're uneducated and ill informed.

These fundamentalists are not any different then Jewish fundamentalist or Christian fundamentalists. Look at the Bible belt in USA. The only difference is that they have their governments, who have strong armies to do their work and rightfully or wrongfully justfy their 'terrorism.'

It is about time to get to the root of problems and address them for the good of the whole humanity and let all live in a fair, peaceful world.

It's a racial problem, not a political one. There are already millions of non-European people in Europe, and they are growing more and more... the wars of the future - the wars of today! - will be race wars. "The clash of civilizations", as professor Huntington put it.

The most important thing is for moderate Muslims to fully and forcefully condemn all acts of terrorism, expressions of xenophobia, and incitement to hatred, without exception. The Muslim community needs to stand up and fight the forces of extremism that have already made tragic inroads in the hearts and minds of Muslims even in Britain and the US. It will take enormous courage for Muslim leaders to do this, even in the West, because so many of their followers are willing to make excuses, find justification, or create conspiracy theories absolving the killers.

I believe that this is a wake-up call to the Muslim communities across Britain. A young Muslim scholar, speaking on British TV said that he felt that the responsibility lay with the Muslim communities to work together to educate their people to integrate more effectively into the United Kingdom.

So often disaster causes doors to open that have remained shut for too long. I believe the whole British populace, police, politicians, local counsellors, churches, synagogues and mosques, have the opportunity of drawing closer together and wiping out the belief of isolation that many Muslims feel today.

Europeans and Americans supported dictators for decades in Muslim countries and ignored atrocities against the majorities that protested against corruption and lack of freedom. ...

As long as dictators run these countries in the name of big corporations that represent the so-called civilized world, there will be no peace.

[The following would be] very politically incorrect but also very simple and effective: mass deportations, closed immigration, cultural integration, zero tolerance for criminals (HARSH fines, sentences, etc.)

It seems to me that radicalism was bred in UK by the aggressor's perception of strong injustice against the Muslims in the Palestinian territories, Iraq, and Afghanistan as well as being alienated from the mainstream of British society. ... The British government's sincere effort to find a political solution in the Middle East, and bringing Muslims in the mainstream of British life will diffuse this problem significantly.

Essentially attempting to turn Muslim against Muslim is a grossly insidious type of incitement. ...

As for the proposed increased security measures, the world doesn't need more innocent people incarcerated or deported for what they might possibly, potentially, someday, maybe in the future do - as are Muslims under the Security Certificate in Canada - with evidence against them forever hidden under the cowardly guise of "national security."

This has turned into a cult that develops as it moves along through the masses, ever looking for simple-minded people, tricking them into grabbing that moment of glory by commiting suicide for the sake of a so-called greater cause. The people who have the talent to convince others to do their bidding are addicted to the power they feel when their plan is carried through. Power and control are their super drug of addiction.

1. Urge the major Islamic religious leaders to continue condemning jihadis.

2. All nations need meet and agree to "blacklist" some mosques, schools, and specific jihadis. Close schools & mosques considered dangerous.

3. Configure multinational teams with global freedom to find and exterminate bin-Laden type extremists.

4. Warn all Muslim people that they are under supervision and cannot condone extremism in any form, and that they face severe ostracism, arrest, deportation, and imprisonment for their acts against civil society.

5. Quit talking publicly and start taking action now.
