How to Punish Terrorists 2

[Mentor]

The thing is that there a different kinds of terrorists. Two main types as I see it are those which are influenced to carry out terrorism by people they respect/scarred of and those which do it by their own religious choice. These pose two different problems because people who carry out acts of terrorism whom have been brainwashed or heavily influenced into it can these REALLY be thought to have full control over their actions and are they completely guilty. Therefore do they deserve to suffer the death penalty. The other problem is that of those who chose to do it by their own choice. Can these become peaceful and be able to carry out their life in incarceration without repeatedly trying to carry out more acts of terrorism. If not then maybe the death penalty should be employed if they are a major danger to society.

How is being brainwashed by a religion any different from being brainwashed by a person or indveridual. humans by nature do not want to kill or being killed. If they do, then there is obviously something wrong with them and they will need phyceatric care.

Because as I see it religion is irrational and leaves these people feeling their actions are completely justifiable. This isn't just restricted to Muslims the same has happened in America with the Evangelists where people have been killed because they believe its gods will.

yeah thats all very well and good. but we still have to pay for the buggers.

I think we should either have the death penatly for terrorism. And much tougher laws on immigration. Which woudlnt be fair, as the majority of immigrants want a decent life, and wont cause any trouble.

And why the bloody hell shouldnt they suffer, they made tons more people suffer.

So? Better than sinking to their level and paying in the blood of others. You kill a terrorist, you anger a terrorist. And an angry terrorist will tell a group and bang, you've got a frenzy going on. I would rather pay money to hold a terrorist, than pay for it with someones life, whom was killed by people seeking revenge for killing one of their people "/ Get my drift?

Making a terrorist suffer is just sinking to their level. If you killed a load of terrorists, you should in time kill yourself. After all, you have killed human beings, which they are.

Exactly, so whats the differnce, unless there minds are brainwashed or have had there mindswarped to some exstent, they wont do it.
That means if they do, do it, one of the above is true. So how can you punish any of the at all for a misguided action.
It should be treated in the same way as miltary problems aka the chain of command is responcible, a soludre isnt responcibe for shooting an inncent cervilian if he was orderd to do so by a superior, its the superors fault and the superor responciblty. Soldures are trained to do what there told.
The same is true here, these people are equaly trained to do what there told, if a terrosit leader (whom also has some warped view of the world) orders someone to do somthing, why are they suddenly responcible for it, where as one of our soldures would not?

Secondly many suide bombers dont even have the choice, the terroist gangs will hold there familys children etc hostage, and kill them if they do not. Hence why they unwilling to carry out those attacks. How can you justife punishing someone for trying to protect there family and childrens lifes...

Jail them. LIFE
Execute them.

Or bomb there the terroists family and teach them a lesson - To far?

[GommeInc]

No I think I shall pick imprisonment. It is a crime, deal with it like one. Why kill their families? Show them who else are blood splattering murderers?

[NekkLe]

You can't win either way and its proven by current problems, you kill, they kill 2. There will never be a balance between terrorists and the world because they preach different things and either side won't settle terms between each other.

Terrorists provoke and I'm sure the likes of the UK or US could easily put them at rest by destroying there civilization, however, they haven't.

Thats kinda the reason there terrorists. Becuse we (or the US at least) already bombed there homes, and most likly killed there family. After that its not supriseing people are going to be more willing to travel to the US/UK and blow em selfs up. Mis-guided as the action may be.
