It's like trying to stop kamikaze. They will keep coming as long as they are alive and their country is at war. To terrorists, their religion is at war with the rest of the world, so the only way to deal with them would be to fight radicalism. There should be no tolerance towards any attempts of religious extremism and terrorism. NO tolerance means when an immigrant gets caught raping a woman or a child, or attempting a terrorist act, he should be thrown in the worst shithole possible. No, not a prison. The authorities should dig a deep hole in the ground and just throw them in, North Korea style. Let them create their own society of mud people or whatever.
The Americans knew how to deal with those guys at Guantanamo.

I don't believe it can be stopped at all.
I think the only way to lessen the problem is with education. Otherwise, I can only think that the only way to stop the attacks, sadly, is by joining them.

Terrorism can't be stop, impossible. Some of you might think removing religions from our world could stop Terrorism, but the answer still no. Terrorism is everywhere, almost everybody can be a terrorist, the reason could be money, religion, revenge and etc. Defeating a group of terrorists and another group will appear, just the matter of time. If there is a way to completely vanish Terrorism, Human would also need to be vanish.

Exactly, there's no way from stopping crazy extremists from blowing themselves other than trying to educate them and show them that perhaps that's not the most productive thing they should be doing.

It doesn't matter how much security staff you employ, how many security measures you implement or how many people or vehicles you search - someone can always get through and blow themselves up.

And considering how unlikely it is to be the victim of a terrorist attack (at least in Western countries), the best thing to do is just to not worry about it. In the UK, you are more likely to die from a furniture accident than from a terrorist attack.

The media love a terrorist news story, because it's scary and gets loads of people reading it and riled up. Terrorists are a bit like internet trolls IMO, the best thing we can do is ignore them as much as possible - by publicising their attacks we are fueling the fire for more of them to get on the bandwagon, which is exactly what they want!

Yeah... Until the current administration started releasing all of the detainees back into their countries, with some even rumored to being released domestically. The detainees are extremely dangerous people and now many are free to collaborate with their extremist allies and wage jihād on developed countries, and non-believers.

It is a difficult problem to solve when you have 1.6 billion people following this ideology.

Ideology is the root cause of this problem, so you have to start there.

Expose this nonsense.  Sharia Law my ass.  This is a 21st century.

1.6 Billion people aren't following this ideology - if that was true then everyone would be dead from terrorist attacks.

What we need to do is understand why a small minority of people feel so angry and under-represented by society that they feel that terrorism is their best option.

We need to fight the underlying cause, not the symptom.

That does not mean there is not an existential threat, a very large problem exists and we must figure out a solution to it. It can not be ignored. 50 people were killed and 53 were injured in an Islamic terrorist attack less than an hour away from where I live less than 6 months ago. There have been 48 acts of deadly Islamic terror and 490 people have been injured or killed in terrorist attacks in the United States since 9/11.

I don't think that any of the detainees were released domestically, despite the efforts by Obama. The former detainees were dumped in third world nations such as Albania and Nauru, where they are engaging in Jihadi activity and creating trouble.

How to end the terrorism:
1 stop funding;
2 stop supplying weapons to them;
3 stop bombing innocent civilians;
If it's so simple, why does it exist forever?
It can last forever because they can get a lot of benefits from it.

[Tyrantt]

Some things can not be solved with diplomacy, sometimes you just gotta kill some people. Somehow I have a feeling that both sides that are dealing with ISIS (East and West) and the terrorism at all, are kind of restraining and not doing their max, if both sides wanted to eradicate terrorists, they could do it quite easy.

Stop funding yes, but many of eastern terrorist groups are profiting from selling oil and buying cheap oil is a very nice opportunity.
Money is a great power.
Casualty or not, if they're getting themselves among the civilians it's kind of hard to eradicate them with ease.

And absolutely, cheap oil, profit from selling guns,... if they want to eradicate them, they could do it.

In fact, one of the reasons why the ISIS is on the retreat now is low oil prices. Also, Turkey has broken its ties with ISIS, after they found out that the profits from the illegal crude oil smuggling has been greatly reduced.

Expose this nonsense.  Sharia Law my ass.  This is a 21st century.

The small minority is doing it, but the large minority is silently supporting it.

I think part of the problem is cultural.  Muslim countries have this "penis envy" when it comes to Western countries.  They do not understand why their societies are not progressing
as well as democracies elsewhere, despite (in their view) the best religion a man can have, the best legal system (Sharia Law) etc. they blame everyone but themselves.

Part of the problem is the US foreign policy, the establishment of the Israel in Palestine, but that is not the root cause.  It is an excuse to act.

The root cause IMHO is a lack of education and not acceptance of modern progressive values.  These values are incompatible with a 6th-century thinking.
So there is your conflict.  Rigid 6th-century, 'written by God'  ideology and the modern world.

We have three (3) Science Nobel Prize winners from Muslim countries (Egypt, Pakistan and Turkey).  That should tell you something.

Bolded by me. Possible, but I live in an area with a majority muslim population, and I've seen demonstrations by muslims condemning these sort of attacks, and spoken to muslims who totally disagree with them. Don't forget that from a media point of view, a story about a suicide bombing will have many more clicks than a story about muslims condemning suicide attacks, simply because it's a more interesting story to the general population and aligns with their preconceptions about muslims.

I agree with you on your point about US foreign policy, and western intervention - I think that it is making things worse. There is even a strong case to suggest a lot of this instability came about at the end of WW1, where arbitrary border lines were drawn by the West defining Middle Eastern countries as we know them today.

Another point worth mentioning is that what we are seeing is not "6th-century thinking". In fact, during the Middle Ages the Islamic world was at the forefront of science, critical thinking and the advance of knowledge and the scientific method. Even many of the scientific words we use today are derived from Arabic and the Islamic world - eg. Algebra, Alcohol, Algorithm, Alkali, Azimuth. And that's just the ones beginning with 'A' - These guys were doing mad science while most of the world was killing each other and rolling in their own shit.

The whole "Islamic Terrorism", especially suicide bombing, is an extremely recent phenomenon - It started in the mid 20th Century and was probably a result of events like the conflict in Afghanistan between the Soviets and the Mujahadeen, Al-Assad being armed in Syria (not the current one, his father), and the Islamic uprising in Iran and Syria. The US was heavily involved in these power struggles.

We only see this extremist ideology appearing after these balances of power occurred.

Don't think that I'm sympathising with the terrorist scum for a moment, I think that what they're doing is deplorable and has no place in modern society. I'm also not a fan of religion, whether it's Christian, Islam, Judaism or whatever. I just think people need to understand how much of a modern phenomenon this Islamic terrorism is, and that it's probably a result of Western intervention after winning the world wars.

Yeah exactly.

A couple of years ago, the UK was selling arms to Syrian rebels to try and overthrow Al-Assad and end the Syrian Civil war. Whoops, that didn't happen, Russia armed Al-Assad and stopped him being overthrown.

A few years later, the UK is now supporting al-Assad in the fight against "ISIS" - even though "ISIS" is probably still using some of the weapons we sold the rebels, because half of them ARE the rebels. And then you've got Russia just attacking ALL the rebels (not just ISIS) because they've been supporting al-Assad for years, and just want him in power.

The whole thing is a complicated mess, and our politicians are fucking hypocrites who sell weapons to the highest bidder and then moan about the consequences.

I don't think that terrorism can be completely stopped at this point.  In the best case scenario the effects of terrorists attacks can be mitigated.
At this point, I think it is safe to say that great majority of terrorists attacks have religious/cultural background. This is what we get for mixing western and middle-eastern culture.
Look at the Europe as example - prior to recent cases of Muslim terrorism there wasn't any kind of organized mass scale killing crime in EU since IRA.

[digaran]

Most of them are Sunni which being one means that they are not following their prophet's advises as he has said : anyone respect and believe in me and my God and acknowledges that I was sent by Him to guide you then should follow my son in law believe and respect him, but you know what they did? they killed his daughter and his son in law with the rest of their families.
Such respect and many followers and believers right? so do you really expect those following the same people that killed their prophet's family and descendants, not to kill innocent(modern) and normal people?

Or maybe US government should stop putting nose in every country's affairs?

[novemberwoah]

Very difficult to stop terrorism because each destroyed a terrorist would certainly appear new. It is endless and will continue to exist, it is very difficult to stop. Maybe the steps that must be done by giving an understanding of the religion, unity, peace to the younger generation. Why should the younger generation? Because younger generation are an easy target for recruited into terrorist networks. In addition, because terrorism is very close to the young generation. So do not be surprised if they can easily poison the minds of the younger generation to understand the radical.

[friend666]

To solve the problem of terrorism in the discussion, we must strongly oppose any form of economic determinism. The emphasis on the economic factors in the problem of terrorism is the root of religious ideology, which is objective to downplay and conceal terrorism. Economic determinism will finally slid right capitulationist not to ruin, will finally take the redemption compromise policy directly or indirectly.

[deadsilent]

No. Terrorism cant be stopped. Anyone would try to end this is just making things worst. Terrorist are crazy. They.like to kill people and dont know what they are fighting for. They kill people for what? To catch some attention? US are the cause of these never ending terrorism. They interfering every nations affairs. Just like what they did to Syria.
