I don&#x27;t entirely agree with either side, but I will say that:<p>&gt; First, you say &quot;If given the opportunity, they would kill every single one of us&quot;. That&#x27;s not true. Those terrorist acts have politic goals.<p>Certain segments of the western Political scene very much want to believe this, but I&#x27;m skeptical. They said that Hitler wasn&#x27;t serious about his rhetoric either, that it was all politics. In fact, he meant it all, and indeed went on to start the biggest war in history and slaughter millions.<p>They downplayed the extremism of the ISIS types, and look what we have there. Just what we&#x27;ve seen so far is quite bad enough, and we haven&#x27;t even gotten a full look at the situation.<p>Do we not at least owe the enemy the respect of believing they really intend to do exactly what they say they want to do? And they most certainly are the enemy of everything that we in the West hold dear.
