You think the best way to deter extremism is to ostracise a whole population on basis of their faith or ethnicity despite less than 0.0001% of them actually committing terror crimes? That would multiply the terror threat 10x fold and it's also not practical.

Indeed makes me wonder how many people say this than turn around and take a different stance when a police shooting takes place.

just playing devil's advocate here, but shouldn't we have a higher standard for police officers than we do for random civilians? you know, the whole 'to protect and serve' thing...

also, the police shooting thing seems to be a very US centric issue, there are no such issues in Europe with the police escalation to deadly force at the slightest perceived infraction.
