Is BANNING ISLAM the solution?
Solutions to Islamic Terror:
1) Do nothing at all (extreme Christian/Leftist view)
2) No military action, but seal every nook and cranny (mainstream Christian/Leftist view)
3) Proactively confront Islamic countries who harbor terror camps (mainstream conservative view)
4) Nuke Mecca (anti-islam view)
5) Ban Islam in America.
Choices 2 & 3 are not solutions. Islamists realize that either choice leads to bankruptcy and ruin. Its impossible to seal every nook and cranny, and even if it was, we would go bankrupt before sealing 20% of the "vulnerablities".
Iraq, Afganistan or any other Islamic theater of war is another "bleeding" alternative, as we can see now. Because American culture believes in a lefitst-santized version of "war", we give the enemy the advantage. America soliders are not soliders, they are "security" personel waiting for the Islamist to shot him.
If we banned Islam, would we need to seal every port and plane or fight overseas? Ok…go on being PC…go on.
5) would be the Best Solution If you’re goal is to Ban Religions like Islam, I’m an Atheist so Allah is not part of My Game plan either.

May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmyour suggestions would start ww3 that would bring the population of the entire would from the current 6 billion people down to about a million
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmword to isadora
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmI agree, but since when are the leftists and Christians agreeing with each other…?
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmBann islam for what? Freedom of religion ever head of it?
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmWhy don’t you go to live in Cuba or North Korea. They don’t believe in freedom of religion. Then you can feel nice and secure.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmlet the religious folk (of all slants) kill each other, and then the rationals among us can get down to business
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmI don’t think the solution is to ban someone’s beliefs or way of thinking. I think the solution would be more in line of getting islam to police themselves a bit better. Every other major religion or government policies their radicals except islam. It would be nice to see them condemning and arresting terrorists.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmNo, not really. Even if you included Christianity in the prohibition, it would’nt solve the problem. Other radical belief systems would leap up to take their places.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmIslam means peace and your ignorant.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmand i cant wait to see you entering the fire of hell
you sholud be banned from dis site
I do not think either one of your "solutions" listed is a good idea and or is necessary. I think a change of heart from these Radicals is the proper solution. But then again this whole issue is much bigger and I would have to go deeper into it. And I don’t feel like that right now.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmI think you’ve been watching to much "CNN".
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmThe answer is to fix the religion.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmThe psyco extremist muslims have corrupted the religion, and need to die.
They want to go get their virgins, let em. Long as they don’t hurt me, I’m good!
We have to start somewhere.While I admire your resolve ,it must be noted that persecution will only counter your efforts.Remember the pen is mightier than the sword;I think we should encourage people like Robert Spencer,Mark Steyn,Ann Coulter and others.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmbanning things like that don’t work cause it’s been around long time like prostitution, it’s a idea that works for many of the masses. it’s best to show people a good life by example and not worry about them unless they are bombing things in our yard, then we nuke ‘em, hey, it worked on japan when they were crazy and out of control world wide !
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmWhere do you get off labeling each of those ’solutions’ with ‘Christian/Leftist’? I’m a born again Christian, but am certainly NOT leftist!! I don’t believe what Muslims, RCs, Mormons, Jews, Buddhists, Jehovah’s Witness, etc., banning religion is NOT the solution! A communist would probably ban religion, but this is AMERICA and everyone is free to practice their religion whether or not you agree with their beliefs. You sound like a religious bigot and bigotry is a sin, so get over yourself! Do some REAL fact-searching before you post such ridiculous liberal rantings as you’ve listed!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmOK…Lets look at a little thing here called the CONSTITUTION!!! Freedom of Religion mean anything to anyone anymore? Lets go ahead and ban all religions then, seeing as more people have been killed in the name of "god" (in every religion) than for any other reason. People like you scare me.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmi say we ban god from earth and let him reign in heaven and leave us alone, no taxation without representation he is not representing me so i am free to do what i want without him here
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmBanning Islam? No–banning bigots like you.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmPeace be with you,
Do not blame a religion for the bad apples within the religion. If you honestly read the Quran and learn more about the Religion you will know the truth of the Religion.
Peace
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmBanning Islam would spark terror that is unheard of these days. Furthermore, it decreases tolerance and is contrary to "Land of the Free."
Other first world countries would also see it as an act of stupidity and would be against it.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pm"waiting for the Islamist to shot him"? What does that even mean?
You have a serious hatred problem and you don’t even know who you hate.
At any rate, far, far too many brave people have died for the rights we are guaranteed here in America – not the least of which is the freedom to practice any religion you choose, or none at all.
To give up our rights is to give in to terrorists threats.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmBanning any religion is not the answer.I’m a Christian and I don’t believe any religion should be banned. Freedom in what you want to believe is what this country is based on.Even thou I don’t believe in the islam belief that doesn’t mean it should be banned. I do believe that no more islamic people(no matter what ethnic group)should be allowed in this country due to the heightend security threat.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmthat is the worst possible "solution." if you want to end islamic terror trying to oppress muslims is not the way. that would have the opposite effect. more muslims would begin to think of america as an enemy
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmEliminating the religion of hatred and reforming a generations ideas is the only thing that is going to stop the onslaught of Islam. Anyone who doesn’t believe we are in the midst of the greatest religious war in this world’s history is simply burying their heads in the sand. Political correctness and tolerance along with acceptance of evil is slowly destroying civilization as we know it. I’m just glad I won’t be here to see humans forced to revert to a way of life dating back 2,000 years.
Forget global warming, you’ll all suffer under global Islam.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmWe have a little thing here in the United States called freedom of religion. I may not agree with them but they have a right to beleive as they want, as long as they do not commit crimes.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmWow no! No No and No. I am a Christian but haven’t we already tried this? Um yea it was called the Crusades. They all failed. The Inquisition… failed. Besides diversity makes us strong. I by no means endorse the destruction of anybody whom does not promote warfare. Christianity is just as guilty as Islam in promoting negative relations… this is a historical conflict. Fact is by seeking their destruction you are trying to judge them… the bible even tells us not to. In fact, the Koran also preaches peace… but they choose to follow the footsteps of its founder, Muhammed. He united the Middle East through warfare. This was all done in response to foreign occupation and influence forcefully being imposed upon the are. They are the way they are today because of what many of our ancestors did. They are not the only groups to blame.
Also, the fighting you see doesn’t represent Islam. Much of it is pride… as you would fight invaders even if their invasion was justified. Honestly this solution you have outlined is incredibly stubborn, ignorant, and harmful to the future of mankind.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmThis is what the Quran tells us Muslims to say to people like you:
Say: "O People of the Book (Christians and Jews)! Come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, lords and patrons other than God." If then they turn back, say to them: "Bear witness that we (at least) are submitters (bowing to God’s will)”. (3:64)
And is it that you want to ban Islam because it says this:
Say (O Muhammad), "Come, I will rehearse what God has (really) prohibited you from: join not anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents, kill not your children on a plea of want”. We provide sustenance for you and for them. Come not near to shameful deeds whether open or secret; take not life, which God has made sacred, except by way of justice and law. Thus does He command you that you may learn wisdom. And come not near to the orphan’s property, except to improve it until he attains the age of full strength. Give measure and weight with (full) justice. No burden do We place on any soul but that which it can bear. Whenever you speak, speak justly; even if a near relative is concerned. And fulfill the Covenant of God. Thus does He command you that you may remember. Verily this is My Way, leading straight (unto Me). Follow it. Follow not (other) paths. They will scatter you about from His (great) path. Thus does He command you that you may be righteous. (6:151-153)
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmnot all Muslims are what you describe them to be!
not every one has the exact same values as the other.remember that if all Muslims would want to hurt others we would be in a much more difficult position,which leads me to believe most of them just want peace and live their lives uninterrupted.
I for one would like to see a global initiative on terrorism and related issues because extremists would have a much harder time getting their groove on.if you close down everything no one will be able to travel any longer. war is not the answer either because the victims will be the rest of the nation you are attacking that do not have weapons.they are the ones who want to live in peace and an uninterrupted life,remember.
so keep mumbling about in your ignorant ways as you have no solution to offer other then extremist right winged mambo jumbo……………….DUDE………………… take a spelling class as well because by God, you need it!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmyou do realize America is the land of the free and the home of the brave, right?
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmWhy are you posting the same questions over and over? Did the answers you got the other day not suit you?
May 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pmTry banning Islam, see how far you get.
Try banning Christianity, try banning Hinduism, try banning Catholicism, try banning atheism. You cant stupid.
of course banning islam in not the solution.germany tried that with the jews during the days of hitler.. look how that turned out
