| Everything you think you know about Islamist attacks is wrong and that's why we are losing |
| 2017-03-24 |
| [reddit] Our rulers think Islamist terror attacks are motivated by a desire to divide Muslims from non-Muslims. To turn our society against "moderate" Muslims and drive them into the arms of Islamists. WRONG WRONG WRONG From the intel agencies to the Governments that pass laws, to the police and counter-terror units they are all basing policy on a wrong assumption. If this wrong assumption were true then all the things they have been doing after every attack since 9/11 would be working: all the outreach programs, inclusion programs, the censorship to tiptoe around Muslim sensitivities, the legal concessions to blasphemy laws, the special media platforms, the Eid dinners where Muslims get the ear of our leaders and police, the special funding, the counter-terror programs... but it's NOT WORKING because it's the WRONG ANSWER because they've MISDIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. They have censored discussion for 17 years now. Their assumption has never been challenged. And so they think they know our enemy but they don't. They don't actually know what the enemy wants, what its strategic goals are, or how it intends to get them. That is why we are losing. |

| #7 They are hell-bent on destroying the west. This is a suicide pact between our leaders and the invaders. I firmly believe this. They have the notion that so long as THEY remain in the seats of power that it matters not one whit what happens to the rest of us. That's why I want them up against the wall when the revolution comes in earnest--they sold us out time and time again so that they could retain their feathered nest. |

| #5 Legally, title eight,chapter 12 did give the Executive broad authority. Some argue the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 diminished much of that power. Either way a strict prohibition based on religion does run counter to traditional American culture. The question is how to enforce such an order in practical terms. Maybe restoration of an Ideological requirement? |

| #4 yet provides zero guidence on how to achieve this initial goal Well, there is this: Title 8, Chapter 12, US Code 1182 (f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline. |

| #3 We must halt Muslim immigration immediately. The author claims a Muslim immigration ban is the most important step in combatting Islamist terrorism yet provides zero guidence on how to achieve this initial goal. Don't hold your breath. |
