REUTERS:
Cameron outlined a counter-extremism strategy designed to halt the spread in Britain of the radical ideology promoted by Islamic State militants (IS or ISIL) in Syria and Iraq - what he called the "struggle of our generation".
He also demanded that internet companies do more to help fight the spread of radical ideologies.
An aim of the strategy will be to target "home-grown" militants. Around 700 Britons are estimated to have travelled to Syria and Iraq to join IS militants, some of whom have since returned.
Cameron said to meet that goal, the religious drivers behind extremism had to be acknowledged and that moderate Muslim voices needed to be heard.
 
Announcing a range of initiatives, he singled out internet companies for criticism.
"When it comes to doing what's right for their businesses they're happy to engineer technologies that track our likes and our dislikes," he said, without naming specific firms.
"But when it comes to doing what's right in the fight against terrorism we too often hear that it's all too difficult - I'm sorry I just don't buy that."
			
			
				
Interfaith group Faith Matters broadly welcomed the strategy but 
"Positing ideology as the main driver overlooks a multitude of factors that drives individuals towards violent extremism," the group said in a statement.
 
"The oversimplification of the drivers towards radicalisation risk alienating swathes of British Muslims. 
[sigh ... Surprise  Surprise  Surprise ] The only way this will ever calm down without terribly drastic measures taking place is if islamics own up that it is their supremacist ideology that is the driver  .. and rat out every wannabe jihadi - They know who the likely ones are right within their mosques. So far, very little have they helped - in ANY country 
			
			
			
				He got his coveted majority, cc.
So now he can say what he really thinks without fear of being voted out of office via a non-confidence vote.
			
			
			
				A good point, but still does not completely explain  some of the surrender monkey things he said before  .. voluntarily
So, do you think islamics will clean up their mosques ?  .... and also rat out the bad ones/
			
			
			
				That is what needs to happen.  Islam needs to take care of their own and we need to support them in that.
			
			
			
				To avoid VERY drastic action, they are the ONLY ones who can do it.
Because they have not done much already, I'm guessin they won't cooperate much at all .. maybe a token effort for looks ... try on the "victim" routine, cry "islamoFAUXbia" , whine, piss and moan, threaten are all more likely than true assistance 
The initial reaction in the article is not a good start, but is consistent with past waffling  
Short of max effort on their part, at some point, the mosques will be cleaned out for them .. which, being very candid, is the moment I have feared but knew all along was coming at some point in the future
Most people do not appreciate the full extent to which it is a supremacist-based ideology and  supremacist-based ideologies are unlikely to dismantle themselves
			
			
			
				Quote from: "RW"
Islam doesn't WANT to take care of their own!!!
Don't you get it?? The so called "peaceful" muslims are at best, apathetic, and at worst, complicit in ALL of these outrages. They know what's going on in their mosques. They hear the mullahs spewing hatred and disdain. They know the world despises them more and more, and so think fighting back and becoming martyrs is a GOOD thing.
Weeds don't grow in thin air. They are fed and nurtured by the same soil as flowers and vegetables. The flowers and vegetables pretending the weeds don't exist is merely their own fear of retribution keeping them silent.
Let them fight and kill each other on their own soil. Humanity will not grieve their loss. But we can no longer pretend that their presence in our countries is sensible and reasonable.

I could not agree more strongly that I already do and have for a very long time
Now, this Cameron. Because of his past performance in this area, I'm very unsure of his motives and resolve. Talk is cheap. We shall see if he has finally become a man, or is just talking a good game
			 
			
			
				If history is a guide, he's more mouth than trousers.
We can but hope that he will show some robustness that will inspire other national leaders to act. But it is just that...hope.
They are frightened of these sand monkeys for reasons I fail to follow. They are far from frightening. They are cowards. Don't be fooled by their barbarian acts amongst their own kind. Face to face, these dirt kissers are milksops.
			
			
			
				Their own people know better than any what happens when you speak out yet are blamed for not speaking out due to fear.  That's not being complicit.  That's not wanting to be dead.
As I've said a million times, it's attitudes like yours that keep them silent Spec.  It's that very disdain that makes them not want to stand up and risk their lives.  We often forget that the first victim of Islamists is Islam itself.
i don't believe law enforcement can't infiltrate these places either and start making an example of these extremists.

				The irony is that the isolated instances of radicalized Muslims behaving badly are being used to radicalize Christians into treating Muslims with contempt, which then feeds back into radicalizing more disenfranchised Muslims and further Christians. 
Which came first, the egg or the chicken and does it ultimately matter on the path of world wide social upheaval? Goodbye cohesion, hello population and freedom control.
			
			
			
				Let me see if I have this right. 
A supremacist ideology c/w its jihadis (its soldiers) comes here and we are to blame, it is the  victim
Followers of that supremacist ideology come here and we are to blame, they are the  victims
Islamics don't need you folks to play the victim card for them. 
They have their own organizations and leaders to do that for them 24/7/365 and do it so well that many Westerners swallow it .. then regurgitate it for them. 
Further, every minion (which is all followers are to leaders and soldiers),  is told how to play the recording verbatim. 
A great plan and obviously extremely  effective

 That is my concern with him. His past has been the very opposite  of what he said yesterday
We shall see what we shall see
Likely he will get internet companies to cooperate
islamics? Real help? I don't think he has it in him be tough enough
Even with toughness, I fail to see how the self-protections built into islam  can be circumvented.

You should investigate deeper into the history of the Middle East. The West set the modern goalposts through colonialism and the West has been moving them as it suits since. It goes without saying that goodwill by everyday peoples in the Middle East has taken numerous generational hits. Historically, it's actually nothing new if you recall the events around the Crusades. The fact that small numbers of people in that region and abroad have found solace in hardline religious ideologies (or political ones cloaked in religious facades) wouldn't be a surprise or point of feigned disdain for you.
You should look into it if you're open minded or a real Christian.

				I think cc's point is that it is a growing number rather than a small one.
Muslims have been victims of many things over the centuries.  We seem to forget that in all of this and no, I'm not afraid to say it.  I understand we are talking about the present and their current behaviour but I always worry that we don't pay enough attention to what got us here in the first place.

For everyone who squawks he needs to ask them if they support terrorism.  If they don't, he should ask him why they aren't fighting harder to rid themselves of it.
Really though cc, why can't some intelligence root these nasty fuckers out?
			 
			
			
				I will attempt to address those at some point RW. Dealing with a 1400 year ingrained  supremacist-based ideology is extremely complex. Discussing how to deal with it is not just a short post. 
There are no easy answers. There are no short  answers .. well short of the extreme. There are no pleasant answers.

It is amazing how easily the sheep are manipulated, especially against Muslims.  Dinky makes a point.  They aren't the ones who have bombed the shit out of our nations, overthrown our governments, tried to establish their way of government in our countries, lied about reasons to war with us, etc.  I'm talking mostly about Arabic Muslims as they seem to be the one giving us the hardest time as of late.
What solution do you offer cc?  Eradication of Islam in our countries?
			 
			
			
				cc is all talk, no action. I've asked her if we should ban Islam, the Quran and Muslim immigrants.
Her response? "Do nothing".
She wants anyone and everyone else to do something for her. She'll repeat the same thing over and over again thousands of times on forums, but she won't even write our political leaders even once. Too politically correct.
			
			
			
				
It has been disappointing to see you operating mainly from imagination

There was nothing to respond to. All you are doing is repeating the CAIR propaganda manual and playing the victim card for them ...merely  perpetuating the problem and making it harder to resolve a problem within that entered the West
I will ask you only one thing - how you think rehashing the past (some accurate, some islamobullshit) and 
Edit: Make that a question to anyone who makes excuses for violent behavior within our lands
RW: I truly hope there can be a "peaceful" solution to ridding our lands of this  supremacist-based ideology
 A "peaceful" solution will require great help from inside. Without that we have not even a starting point toward a "peaceful" solution 
I do not expect to get help as all evidence says there will be little to none of it  ... but I hope to be proven wrong
			
			
				Do you want to ban Islam? No.
Do you want to ban the Quran? No.
Do you want to ban Muslim immigration? No.
Have you ever once written any of our political leaders? No.
"No solutions offered"
			
			
			
				This is not about me nor is it about your imagining things about me. Nor is it about your trying to deflect from Islam's violent behavior as per usual 
It is about violent behavior of a supremacist-based ideology within our lands.
Cameron apparently is prepared to try some things. I support his ideas and hope that he can start something toward getting islam to clean up its act. I am not confident that will work at all, but it at least is an attempt to deal with supremacist-based ideology within our lands

				cc, I said the same thing back on DV about change needed to come from within Islam.  You say that isn't going to happen and given the current climate, I believe you.  So keeping that in mind, what should we do?  Have you heard of any decent suggestions?  Shen?  Spec?
			
			
			
				Some of the best discussions I have had on islam have been with yourself. You seem to acknowledge there is a serious problem and are very concerned about everyday islamics so we have a solid and mutually agreed starting point. We have always agreed that change had to come from within. 
For this thread I presented the best proposal put forward by any Western  leader to date.  While very skeptical of the most important element, I acknowledge a step for the West and wondered what others thought of it. 
Other than yourself, no one has even tried to address Cameron's points.
I'm a tad confused on this term
I'll be frank. Speaking for myself, I see no way to change islam even slightly. I do see a period of a supposed attempts to change under pressure resulting in none where the rubber meets the road   ... and ending with the worse case scenario at the end of the road. 
That said, Cameron is trying. Some things he proposes are good and may slow things down a bit. I hope to be proved wrong on the one item that matters most ... islam giving up spewing hate for the West and being genuine citizens of the countries they reside in ... not merely citizens of islam residing in Western lands. 
As to "intelligence" handling it, points can be scored  but winning that game is impossible. We can't and should not be expected to play defense forever. I'm amazed that we put ourselves into a position where we had to in the first place .. and have continued that losing game for some time

				Blaming MY disdain for their barbarity and evil brutality is a stretch too far.
There is no chicken and egg situation here. Islam struck first on the 11th of September, and has continued its assault on our nations since. 
Nobody of any intelligence will deny that Western nations have treated the Middle East with contempt in the past. But that is in the distant past. The last British soldier left that wasteland in 1947, whereupon they were left to their own devices. 
Initially, it was Israel and Western support for it that was the ignition point (the Soviet Union was the first nation to recognise the State of Israel). Then it was solidarity with the Palestinians, a group largely rebuked and ignored by mainstream Arab nations. There is always an ignition point for these uncivilised, backward brutes, and there always will be.
No islam = no problems.
In answer to Romero's silly questions;

Let them slaughter each other in the confines of their OWN barren and repugnant wastelands. They have no place in the modern world. 
When they choose to change their conduct, then, perhaps they can be admitted into modern civilisation. If not, let them suffer in their own excrement.

You flatter me cc.  The best conversations I have had about Islam have been with you as well.  I have learned so much from you on the subject.
The current climate is we fear them and they hate us.  That's a really shitty starting place for change.
I'm not talking about a defensive approach but a pro-active one that roots out extremism and nips it in the bud ASAP.  ZERO tolerance.

Here's a great example of Boston mosques quoted in today's news. 
A moderate imam who raised alarms more than a decade ago about a radical shift at two controversial Boston mosques he led for decades says he was ousted for his efforts by a local doctor whose son joined ISIS and replaced by a man now with the infamous Pakistani terrorist group behind the 2008 Mumbai bombings.
Imam Talal Eid told FoxNews.com that creeping radicalism put him increasingly at odds in the late 1990s with the board of directors of the Islamic Center of New England, where he served from 1982 until 2005. But when Eid, nominally in charge of the religious teaching at the center's mosques in Sharon and Quincy, resisted, he was left in fear for his safety and eventually driven out by Dr. Abdul-badi Abousamra, at the time a prominent endocrinologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and president of the 1,500-member Center.
"At times, I was fearful for my safety," said Eid, a former member of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom who now runs a mosque in Toledo, Ohio. "When I would stand up for what I believed in, and there was a clash, you see how I could be scared."
 
			
			
				continued:
Abousamra, who has since moved to Doha and could not be reached for comment, was one of the Boston Muslim community's most powerful and prominent figures in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In addition to being the center's president, he was vice president of the Muslim American Society of Boston, which ran the Islamic Society of Boston, a Cambridge mosque that shared many members with those run by the Islamic Center of New England.
All three mosques have ties to a host of known and suspected terrorists, including Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the brothers behind the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing; Aafia Siddiqui, aka "Lady Al Qaeda," the Pakistani woman and Usama bin Laden associate now serving an 86-year federal sentence; and, more recently, Usaama Rahim, the 26-year-old man killed by police last month after brandishing a knife and allegedly plotting to behead Boston cops.
Even as Abousamra was exerting a radical influence on the leadership of mosques he helped run, law enforcement authorities say his son, a Northeastern University graduate raised in the Boston suburb of Stoughton, was training in Middle Eastern terror camps, aiding Al Qaeda and plotting attacks on U.S. soil. Ahamad Abousamra left Boston for Syria in 2006 while under investigation for terror-related charges that would later lead to an indictment, and is now believed to be running ISIS' social media operation.
While mosques around the nation have disavowed terrorism, with many leaders working with law enforcement authorities to report suspicious activity, the infighting at the Boston mosque described by Eid shows that behind the scenes, mosque leaders are not always on the same page.
			
			
				My question is and has been, why are so many now turning to terrorism - Al Q, ISIS, etc?
			
			
			
				sorry, keyboard lost connection
islam itself and its 3 books,  Al Q, ISIS, imams and mentors living in and hating the West, videos posted by mentors living in and hating the West mentors  ... videos posted by mentors living outside of West  covers a lot of it
			
			
			
				Why do they hate the west?  And don't say death to infidels either because that's not going to fly.
			
			
			
				their ideology says supremacy over and fight ALL  [size=120]infidels[/size], lol,  .... that is the basis ... has been so for 1,450 years 
The above mentioned make sure the recruits hear it & fire them up
So, are you suggesting that it's OK for a mentor / imam / whoever to live in the West  and promote hate and violence against the West because they don't like what the west does?
You keep coming back to that (see above obvious examples) so I have to ask
			
			
			
				Really?  You had to ask?  That's Q level questioning cc.
I want to know what changed that we have become such targets.  It's not enough to say, "It's just their way."  Things have changed here - what is it?

That's exactly the reason, heavily summarised.
We are diametrically opposite their religious dogma. We do not enslave and beat women. We do not marry off our children at 12 yrs of age.
We do not kowtow to an imaginary deity. We don't pray three times a day. We are named in their fairy tales as infidels and thus should be eliminated.
What is your problem?
Why is it so hard for you to accept the hatred in their own words?
What compels you to seek a reason for US to be responsible. Its the same leftard logic that says society is responsible for crime.
Open your eyes...they hate us because we are not them. And that hatred isn't going away any time soon.
			 
			
			
				Once again, fuck you and your leftard bullshit.  It's old, stupid and an inaccurate label.  I won't sit down and shut up because you wish to label me a moron which you know damn well I'm not.
We used to do all of those things as Christian based religions.  All of it.  I know you know that as well.  I am also aware that they have failed to "get with the times" like the rest of us.
I accept a level of "we are infidels" but I know not all of them wish us dead so there is more to it than that.  Deny it and I will ring you right now and call you an idiot to your ear hole.
My problem is I want to understand what is driving this so hard.  I want to know this because it's the key to stopping it.
			
			
			
				Did I call you a moron?
Moron.
If you don't understand it, you don't WANT to understand it. You don't WANT to accept that hard core, radical muslims regard western ideology, culture and attitudes as ungodly, and according to their fairy tales, they are thus entitled to eliminate us. 
That is the issue. 
Nothing we've done. 
Not Israel.
Not jealousy.
Pure and unadulterated hatred, based on contrived theological nonsense. It is on the muslims who do not accept radical attitudes to fix it. Apathy and silence is acceptance, and acceptance is complicity.
Plain, simple logic.
			
			
			
				That is such an intellectually lazy answer.
			
			
			
				It's the "you either stand with us or you stand against us by default" view even though there are far more in the middle ground who don't want to stand with anyone on any of it and shouldn't be made to.

AFP/AFP/File - Writer Salman Rushdie, pictured on October 5, 2014, told L'Express,
More than a quarter century after being slapped with a fatwa fromIran calling for his murder over his book "The Satanic Verses", Salman Rushdie says 
The British author, in an interview published Wednesday by the French news magazine L'Express, said his ordeal by religious fanatics determined to violently avenge what they construed as blasphemy should have served as a wake-up call to the world.
Instead, after the September 11, 2001 attack on America and the massacre in Paris in January this year of cartoonists and staff at the Charlie Hebdo satirical weekly, and with the ongoing rampage of the brutal Islamic State group in the Middle East, Rushdie said some writers and other people were too cowed to talk freely about Islam.
"It seems we learned the wrong lessons," he said in the interview printed in French. "
The "politically correct" positions voiced by some — including a few prominent authors who disagreed with Charlie Hebdo receiving a freedom of speech award at a PEN literary gala in New York in May — were motivated by fear, Rushdie said.
"If people weren't being killed right now, if bombs and Kalashnikovs weren't speaking today, the debate would be very different. Fear is being disguised as respect," he said.
Rushdie, born in India to non-practising Muslims and himself an atheist, said the 1989 fatwa issued against him by Iran's then supreme leader, the late Ruhollah Khomeini, was, as he wrote in his 2012 memoir, "a first note of the dark music".
Iran's government said in 1998 it had suspended the murder fatwa, though other regime organs insist it remains in place.
"Extremism constitutes an attack against the Western world as much as against Muslims themselves," Rushdie told L'Express.
"
The writer said that the controversy that surrounded the PEN prize to Charlie Hebdo this year convinced him that, if the attacks against "The Satanic Verses" had occurred today, "these people would not come to my defence and would use the same arguments against me by accusing me of insulting an ethnic and cultural minority".
He added that he had "greatly suffered" from being forced to live in hiding and under police protection after Iran's fatwa. But he appreciated the fact that his book was now being looked at for the work it was meant to be, and was studied in universities.
Rushdie, 68, has lived since 2000 in the United States and was knighted in Britain in 2007.
			 
			
			
				Good article.
			
			
			
				Perhaps it may influence you to alter your view.
These troglodytes want nothing less than to destroy western culture and replace it with their own. 
Our spineless politicians fear them, when in reality they could never stand up to western power if it were applied. Its time the fear were reversed.
			
			
			
				I haven't altered my view in the least actually.
			
			
			
				Methinks you are being contrary for its own sake.
			
			
			
				No I'm not.  I know Islam is a problem.  I just can't see a solution given our right to religious freedom which has painted us into a corner.  They know that.
			
			
			
				There is a solution.
But it is in THEIR hands. White arrogance and leftard guilt tripping makes some think that every ill in the world is our fault and our responsibility to fix.
That's bullshit.
What we need to do is to make clear to islam that their conduct in the modern world is no longer acceptable, and unless and until islam becomes rational and sensible, the West will do what needs to be done to protect itself. If that means slamming the door on them, so be it. If that means bombing the fuck out of them so be it. 
We are frightened not because of the strength of our adversary, but because of our unwillingness to defend ourselves.

Finally something that makes me see the light and I can agree with.
Yes, we should try bombing the fuck out of Muslim countries and see what happens.

Hasn't the U.S. already done that?

Please stop with the leftard red herring.  
What stops us from doing that is LAW.  Our own laws and international law.
Now does anyone have a solution that isn't woefully retarded?

"Those who sit around endlessly inveighing against the evils of Islam, depicting it as the root of violence and evil, while spending very little time on their own societies' addictions to violence and aggression, or their own religious and nationalistic drives, have reached the peak of self-blinding tribalism. They really are akin to having a neighbor down the street who constantly murders, steals and pillages, and then spends his spare time flamboyantly denouncing people who live thousands of miles away for their bad acts. Such a person would be regarded as pathologically self-deluded, a term that also describes those political and intellectual factions which replicate that behavior."

				I'm sorry, but the majority of defenders for the status quo, and blame allocators are leftists. Not all, I grant you...but it is a socialist perspective that all the blights of the world can be attributed to white hegemony and that we thus owe under-developed nations and its citizens compensation both monetary and charity.
Adopting that posture with these rats will get us nowhere.
Islam IS the problem, and its not on us to solve it. Its on them. Our responsibility is to protect ourselves by any and all means possible.
			
			
			
				Who should we be blaming?  The dog the shits on the carpet or the person who lets the dog in?

More leftist/moralist propaganda.
Have you examined the REASONS why action was taken?
Also, please point to the US bombing Iran during those years or at any time. I don't recall that. Was this when Iran kidnapped 55 American diplomats and held them hostage for no apparent reason, other than the US support for the previous Government, breaching international laws as it applies to embassy officials? 
Libya was funding and supporting terrorism world wide, had destroyed a Pan Am flight over Scotland, and its embassy staff murdered a British police officer.
Lebanon was to protect Lebanese and American citizens from Hezbollah after the US Embassy was destroyed by a terrorist suicide bomber, apparently consigned by IRANIAN funded terror cells.
Kuwait and Iraq need no explanation.
When did the US bomb Somalia? 
The US "bombed" Bosnia to destroy Serbian forces that were slaughtering the Bosnians.
I could go on...but the point is made. The "bombings" as you call them were either RESPONSES to muslim outrages, to protect innocent muslims, or as far as I can tell from your listing, did not actually occur.
Put another more, typically leftard deception, misrepresentation and bullshit.

				The Iran bombings were at sea and a result of Iran being shits in the Gulf.
			
			
			
				I see no record of bombs being deployed against Iran.

Excuse me.
YOU are the one using silly and irrelevant metaphors to make an obscure point. Since when was THAT debating.
			 
			
			
				Really?  It was THAT obscure?  Are you feeling well?

In the context of the discussion, it was pithy and pointless.

				You realise that face palm was in light of you missing the point right?  Since you agree with me, you must have.
