Terrorists. I've started to notice an increasing paranoia about their capabilities, their inhumanity, their desire to destroy the west etc. But who, exactly are THEY?

The discovery that at least 3 of the 4 London bombers were born and bred in Britain, shows that the idea of stamping out terrorism abroad will not solve the problem, we now have to contend with violent dissent within our own borders.

Unless we are willing to turn on those people within our own communities based solely on what they believe, how do we protect ourselves from further attack?

To those people who are calling for a "kill them all, let god sort them out" policy, how would you conduct such a strategy within your own national borders?

I believe that these recent events show us how impotent and outdated our military adventures have become when we can still be reached from within our own borders.

So, here's an open question, what do we do?

I want to state firmly that I am not interested in any party politics here - I don't want to see links pointing to speeches made by American politicians, nor do I want to see any partisan blame-calling. I want this thread to show how you personally would deal with this new and disturbing twist on the War with Terror. By all means argue with one another, but keep it on topic "Who are they, and what would you do to deal with them."
