I did not say anything about them being Muslim. Some of them are muslim, but there are plenty of terrorists, who are not muslim.

Termination of terrorists does not mean indiscriminate killing. The target must have a valid strategic value. In other words, there must be incontrovertible evidence they are actively committing terrorist acts. Furthermore, using the military, or paramilitary teams (CIA, etc.) can only be allowed for foreign targets (not that it is existing law, but it is a bad idea running assassination teams in your own country).

The threat posed by in-country muslim terrorists far exceeds the threat of all other terrorists combined. There are *thousands* of them; they are well-funded and sophisticated.

Agreed.

When achmed is dispersing bio or opening the contact, it's too late.

We can start doing what is required or continue dying.

Half-assing some lame *criminal* investigation years after an attack, against *supporters*, is folly.
