you people are just blind to the facts. you believe you can do what ever you like and it will have no consequences. and of course you are digging a bigger hole for yourselves in the process. you start attacking muslims not involved in the west because of what some relative has done and then you will wake the wrath of all muslims. you will force millions of them to join the jihadis you stupid old fools.
Who is to say things in Israel would not be worse if they did not apply collective punishment on those wanting to harm on the Israelis?
You can just accept the terrorist disrupting the lives of those living in the west or make sure they will also disrupt the lives of their extended families also. It's very simple. It may not stop every attack, but it may help some.
Surely the Muslims understand this concept, even respect it, no? You know, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Perhaps it's about time the west also adopted some of the tactics used by Islam. Sometimes you need to fight fire with fire to put out the forest fire.
