[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2980137, member: 18914"] Which is why much much more police activity is directed toward preventing more mundane general crime - yet, there is a certain streak of virulent anti-West, anti-Christian, anti-anything not explicitly a part of a very limited Muslim outlook, terrorism that has its own character and a focused energy. By analogy, you are more likely to be killed by a loved one than a total stranger. However, no one would ever conclude "therefore the best response is to ensure we have no loved ones and only associate with strangers" because there are benefits - many, many of them - to having loved ones or conclude that since it is true that those with whom you have deeper ties and much more frequent contact are statistically more likely to do you harm, there is no need to exercise caution around strangers. Whereas there is NO benefit that I can see to allowing this stripe of Islam to exist at all. [/QUOTE]
