Quoting robyn :

but for some people to suggest we should talk to terrorists is political correctness gone mad in my opinion.



Why is that so radical? Incidently I actually said "talk to people who SUPPORT terrorists", not the terrorists themselves, but now you come to mention it, why not? They are an invisible "enemy" and at the core is usually a power-hungry and affluent individual. They then recruit from the poor and discontented to increase their numbers. Suicide bombers, for example, are young vulnerable and easily influenced people who have been targeted and brain-washed into thinking they are doing "good". You hate them? I feel as sorry for them as the people they kill

For example Robyn, the numbers of young muslims who support extreme (terrorist) activities in the UK has increased drastically in the last year. Are you suggesting that we ignore them, hate them, kill them? Would it not be more productive to listen to them and try to work out the reasons why they are driven to support such extreme measures, why they hate us, why they are so unhappy with their lives?

Politically correct you say? NO! Just a peaceful solution to this increasing problem.

it seems like it's hard enough to agree on how to approach this problem... never mind solving it .

Quoting vineyards:

In addition to what I previously said, we must actually be talking about ethnic hatred which is of course quite different from racism.



How?

Aenigma, we didn't agree on who will pay yet, not so quick dear lol. I also thought that we won't drink ourselves, we'll just get drunk those who argue with each other...

How for sure? I feel that ethinic hatred is maybe worse than so called racism, which often ends up with a genocide. I could quote a few but I am on my way to the pub!

I dont know why you distinguish between the too. Ethnic and racial hatred are BOTH racism surely?
