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.

In France we have 10.000 people classified as radical and potentially dangerous muslims. so, that's 1 to 500 muslims, 2%, and that's a lot, including only known people. So, let's say it's not acceptable that your family is at risk of dying in the hand of a crazy islamist. And let's say that there is no way to stop a single guy from renting a truck and play carmageddon IRL. How do you solve the problem ? Or are you telling me, it's OK to not solve the problem, you don't care ?

Firstly where did you get that figure from? France has an estimated Muslim population of 4.7m people.
(http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/11/17/5-facts-about-the-muslim-population-in-europe/)
10,000 is less than 0.2% of the muslim population. On top of that 10,000 is not a reliable figure on actual dangerous people, which why the vast, vast majority of that 10,000 figure commit no terror related crimes. Imagine using your same logic to deter rapists, mass shooters, domestic abusers. You'd essentially have to get rid of the male sex.
Secondly, I obviously care very much about the issue france and many other countries face but I'm not going to support ridiculous ideas just as a knee jerk reaction. If you care you should acknowledge that trying to get rid of a whole population of people (4.7m) is not only out of the realms of reality, it would also instigate racial and religious warfare on a scale that is simply not present in the current western world, which will make the country more dangerous, not safer. We also have to face the likely reality that solving the problem is a long term, generational effort, not some singular law which you put into place. How do you solve the problem of murder, rape, violence?
