Also, saying we should just kill everyone who has joined IS is totally fucking ridiculous.
Yep. Massive backtrack on that one. I feel like a cunt for even thinking it. Bit embarrassing.

I don't think you should be embarassed for thinking anything. You can think anything you want, you are only defined by what you do. Faced with a war, or with a similarly impossible situation, you have to consider every possible course of action.

There will be people, like the idiotic woman in the beauty salon, who have knee jerk racist, inflammatory, violent and stupid reactions to the attacks. This is natural. We should try not to judge people for these reactions, just as we should try not to judge young, angry people who have considered joining ISIS.
