It's impossible to eradicate a group such as these nuts. There's nothing that can be done. Nothing.

There is.

The answer has to come from within the Muslim world.

The Deobandi's, Wahhabi's, Ahmedi's , Sunnis, Shias - it doesnt matter. The answer has to come from within.

It is the most painful thing to do - to cut off your own gangrenous toe. But thats what needs to be done.

A few things I didn't hear mentioned by the US media:

-There was a bomb threat at the Germany soccer team hotel earlier in the day
-The suicide bombers outside of Stade de France attempted to enter the stadium
-When they realized they couldn't get in, they threw a grenade at the gate
-Oliver Bierhoff(in the management of the German FA) after the game talked about a bomb attack rather than alert at the team hotel earlier. Would not comment further on that
-German TV interviewed fans at the game and one of them claimed to run out of the stadium as soon as they heard the explosion. They saw helicopter and policeman fighting and shooting and then ran back into the stadium

Blame is irrelavant here. Solutions are much more CRITICAL.

Just imagine - what if some of these crazies get their hands on a nuke.

Its not that difficult. There are several nation states in this world that will sell a nuke to the right buyer, for the right money.

It's not that simple though. Not in a world where the west has propped up dictators and drawn borders to keep fighting between factions alive. As long as people that feel desperate or treated unfairly exist, terror will exist.

Look at some of the talk in the US. Talk of a war on Christianity. You have preachers speaking of death penalties and taking up arms vs. gays. This talk continues for decades, where does it lead? Some crazy guy in the name of his religion strikes terror and others follow.

Thats because about 100 years ago the Ottoman Empire, their last Caliphate was dissolved, and why they are seeking to build another in whatever way their book commands them to, terror is one of the ways

The Arabs hated the Ottoman Empire though, they wanted independence.

I doubt the Sunni's and Shia can ever be friends since they been fighting each other for 1300 years, they probably hate each other more than the US. If Saudi Arabia got a nuke Id be more worried than Iran with a nuke, sunni's terrorists (Al-Queda, ISIS) seem a little more extreme than Shia terrorists

And how often are the terrorists from Iran? If it's not 0 Iranians for the major terror attacks, it is probably very close to that number.

They could acquire the weapons from Iran. Don't be naive.

I was referring to Russia, Pakistan ... countries with large nuclear arsenals and rogue generals.

Says the guy acting like Iran is in cahoots with Sunni extremists. You are clearly talking out your ass.

If there is a stray bomb they could get, it's probably in Russia.

Not Isis. But they clearly armed and financed Hezbollah and Hamas who also target civilians
