#1 If the German authorities aren't lying (as they did after the New Year's incident) then the 'islamist network' is Islam itself.

I'm willing to concede that not all of Islam is theocratic and totalitarian. Mainstream, OIC-consensus Islam however most definitely is.

#2 I'm willing to concede that not all of Islam is theocratic and totalitarian.

Can you cite some evidence in support of this statement (note: examples of genuinely peaceful Muslims are not a counterargument---every religion has apostates).

#3 does not matter if he is connected to a network or not

anyone that thinks that just does not get the very first thing about the war we are in

it isnt a crime situation, these are not criminal networks

this is an ideological war. The ideology is the problem. Theocratic islamist fascism.

the solution is secularism

theocracy has to be crushed.

otherwise any random Islamist can pop out at any time with no links to anyone as long as they drank the Kool aid of Islamist doctrine

if they think they skip judgement and go straight to janaa in return for killing kaffirs for allah then every man woman and child is a potential risk

and no amount of spy and police work will prevent the inevitable attacks.

the only way to fight it is by removing the hobble on free speech - make it easy to criticise and laugh at and ridicule religion. all religion. and to target Islamism with ridicule.

that is not possible at this time

#4 Your comment isn't long enough. How about a few dozen more lines?

#6 Anon1's comment was easy for me to read. My eyes don't work as well as they used too.

#7 I've seen *much* longer comments.

And he's right about the fact that there being no obvious links doesn't mean they aren't there.

And given how the media and governments have been bending backwards to give the Islamic Terrorists & Rapefugees cover (as far back, if not further, than Beslan) one has to wonder how hard they looked.

But you would expect a good look in Paris after what happened there.
