But what would that look like? Terrorism is one of the most complicated threats society face and as long as their is western influenced war in the middle east there's always going to be a complicated political angle attached too.

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.

You assume to know a lot about me to be calling me ignorant on these subjects. That would be a very ignorant (funny enough) assumption on your part.

I was born and raised by a moderately religious family (certainly none of them were atheist as far as I knew), and in a moderately religious european country. I was baptised, went to church until I was 12 or so, studied to a university degree in a scientific field (physics) and by the time I was 17 I was pretty much an agnostic without any worries about religion. I only felt confident enough about absolutely rejecting all forms of religion later on when I began actually looking at the claims and evidence put forth by the religious proponents.

At this point I would be surprised if you had looked as much in depth into your own religion as I have already done.

So no, it's not ignorance of your religion that brings me to reject it, it's actually knowing what it's claims are and what 'proof' exists to back up those claims.

About the so called meaning of life, nice way to strawman my position and then valliantly defeating that made up argument. Good job on that one, what ever could I say to refute it? lol

Let me try this as well, may I? Well, apparently you derive meaning to your life by being a puppet of a so called outside entity, which you believe commands your life and determines for you what is good or bad. You are pretty much a videogame character in that entity's hands, simply used for it's entertainment. Your life has about as much meaning as the goombas in any Super Mario videogame according to your ideology.

How did you like it? Can be played both ways as you see :) Much easier to defeat an argument that wasn't put by the other person.

To sum it all up:

1- I'm quite comfortable in my disbelief of your religious claims

2- I give meaning to my own life and the reason why I feel life is precious is because I'm quite sure it's the only one we have. We have a limited time to enjoy it, and that's why it's important to be happy with what we have. If life was eternal, there would be nothing special about it in any way. Murder would be fine because you wouldn't really be ending anyone's life, you'd really be doing them a favor by sending them to a 'better place'. I'm willing to bet you're quite scared of dying. If you were sure this next life really exists, you wouldn't be here debating me and people like me, you would have love for such 'extremists' to kill you ASAP.

Let me guess it was a Muslim who did it again.

ISIS is celebrating the apparent terrorist attack in Nice, France, on Thursday as retaliation for the death of Abu Omar al-Shishani—the terror group’s so-called “minister of war”—who was killed earlier this year by coalition forces while fighting in Iraq.

ISIS confirmed the atack.

Not the first not the last

Yes.

But Syria was not really the creation of this group, it was another country that had some apparant WMD or something. (I am dancing around it on purpose)

Lol so it was Muslims again, why I am not surprised.

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