| EU - United we stand - divided we fall |
There is a saying which goes as follows : "Trust everybody but make sure to cut the cards". In essence it means that you shouldn't play cards with people you don't trust - that is the "trust everyone" part - but you also should take reasonable precautions against cheating - that is the "cut the cards"part. The phrase is saying, don't go around thinking everyone is dishonest, but when you have an easy way to protect yourself against potential dishonesty, do it.
So far the EU has done a poor job in protecting itself against the potential "dishonesty" by some of its citizens.
European Citizens who have joined the Jihadist movement, or fighting abroad for them, should be considered unwanted aliens and either be locked up, without any pardon, or, depending on their activities, have their citizenship revoked.
As to those who are driven to join the Jihadists', or any other violent movement for that matter, it would be good for them to contemplate that anytime you embrace a dark inner state, you increase the size of its stake on your own heart and mind. Killing someone and shouting "God is Great", is not only an insult to God, but also an insult to the sanctity of life.
Hopefully, following these dramatic terrorists acts in France, governments within and outside the EU member states will finally wake up and smell the roses,,, and, importantly, act.
Humans can never act or speak in the name of God., but they can and must act when it comes to the protection of each others basic freedoms and rights.After all, the first law of nature is self-preservation.
