Anathemetizing is a pretty big word.
Any evidence yet to CNN's repeated and unsubstantiated theory that they kept going on and on and on and on about that these terrorists came in with Syrian refugees?
Why are you so against this narrative? What scares you about it.

CNN is saying that fingerprints from one of the terrorists match those on the Syrian passport that was used to enter Greece.
Also, simply focusing on the religion of these criminals is rewarding their subhuman behavior. Reducing the complex and heterogenous billions of Muslims to a caricature is a recruiting pitch for new terrorists - the West anathematizing and marginalizing them. Poor form for educated men to be so simple minded.

This all sounds good and nice, and while I agree with you intellectually, how is this to be accomplished practically in a way that will keep us safe. Seems as if many of the "good" Muslims are unwilling to help in the identification of the "radicalized" Muslims. Hate to sound crass but the adage "if you are not for me, then you are against me" seems appropriate. Very difficult to imagine a winning strategy that is not extreme.
Sometimes violence is not the answer.
Sometimes the answer is disproportionate, unrestricted violence that inspires the lasting peace we have enjoyed with Japan and Germany.
Sounds like you are advocating dropping an atomic bomb on the location where ISIS is located, as we did in Japan. That is certainly an option.
If we decided to that, it would mean thousands of innocent people would die, none of whom choose to die.
While this may be legal, some times the law allows things that are morally wrong.
If we were do this, we will look back with great sadness on this atrocity.
Before we drop the bomb, we should be sure to view images of those we are bombing. That's a human being on the monitor.
So the best you've got is a fingerprint match from a severed appendage traced to someone who came in as a refugee? #BoardDemswillfeignuncertainty.
We are not going to nuke them, but we need to stop pretending that they are a) "not a threat"-ogb, b) "j.v."-POTUS and c) "contained." - POTUS.
How many people did climate change kill this week?
