we do know this, the arabs call them Daesh which has the same meaning as ISIS,
...that would be the french...and you got that from this thread...www.abovetopsecret.com...
I will call them by ISIS (or Daesh) either/or
that is where the problem lies..right there...
instead of helping to fix the problem they use it to further their agendas....
....it is a lose lose for the general population

You seem to be forgetting the original question you asked.

Now whether you consider Indonesia to be a Western country or not doesn't matter, that attack was directed at Australian, American and European tourists.
I never said Indonesian Muslims are all bad, so I don't know what your point is there.
Your contention that the Bali bombings were a "one off" means what exactly? Tell that to the families of the dead.
The problem wouldn't be there if these fanatics weren't wanting to blow innocent people up or chop their heads off in the first place.
Do they? Have we got any evidence that 'they' use these heightened security powers to further their agenda's - or do we just suspect they do because of their track record?
I personally suspect that 'they' do indeed use these measures for their own nefarious reasons, as well -
but there primary use is to prevent acts of terrorism.
If we aren't getting blown up surely that's some sort of win, isn't it?
In what way do you think these new measures will have a practical impact on you and the way you live your life? Will it stop you doing anything you do now? Will you stop expressing your political / religious / personal opinions because of them? I'd genuinely like to know - because I know I haven't.
The bigger threats to the way we live our lives are the nanny state, the PC brigade and their social experimenting.

Ok so the Bali bombings don't count because, according to you, Indonesia is not a Western country.
Again, you asked for examples of terrorist attacks outside the ME, are you going to ignore Freeborn's post too?
"Never move on"??....don't be stupid.
I suggest you open your eyes to the reality of Islamic terrorism, it's not all some subterfuge played upon us by the dark forces of the dreaded TPTB.

So we're back to square one then?
There's no terrorists? It's all grand except for the evil government?
You seem insistent upon that view, you're welcome to it.
Personally, I do take some of your views onboard and share your sentiments to a degree.
However, "hope" will not save innocent lives from being erased by fanatics.

In my opinion, the right decision in the here and now is not to anything. It's to leave middle easterners to solve this problem on middle eastern soil.
The problems on your own soil, is the only matter needing dealt with, and that is the recruiters. I am for arresting them really for promoting terrorism.
