Reader comment on item: What Do the Terrorists Want? [A Caliphate]
in response to reader comment: How we should deal with Terrorists

Submitted by Jeff in Kabul (United States), Apr 22, 2006 at 19:24

Rob, would you recommend to the women in your life to try removing their clothing the next time they think they're about to be raped?

"My opinion on Terrorists is that we should see if we cannot get them what they want." Sounds like "you can't rape the willing."

Just tell them to "get willing" the next time some stranger throws them to the ground. Using your reasoning, that will take care of the problem.

You need to discover what it is that the Islamists want before you begin to advocate we give it over. If you feel that the way of life you lead now would be best given over to religious zealots that have rules for EVERY aspect of life, you may begin now. But, you may not give over my way of life while you're at it.
