Would it be racist to say this?

missdonthate2000

An intelligent question. I do believe that terrorists that are in this country just to blow it up is disgraceful. It is a bit like biting the finger that fed you. I mean if you come to this country in the first place you are expected to live by its rules. I mean if you were to come from a country where it is customary to hunt deer in the bush, you don't come here and do the same thing.

manikally

i totally agree with you.

No it is freedom of speech, we have the right to have our own say, if they don't like it tough let them fly back to Curry land or the Jungle where they come from, as we are not a British nation anymore, we have been taken over by the coloureds!

Hitman

not to me sounds like a good and well researched question cool

lovableswann

not racist - its opinion - no one can judge you for having an opinion

Not racist, unfair. The families aren't responsible.
Besides, I don't think terrorists care very much about their families - these are the people who strap bombs to their children.

Or wouldn't it be better to stop interfering in other countries' business? I think then there will not be terrorist actions against your country.

Nobody's home

So, if your sibling goes out and robs a bank, what should we do with you?

Hmmm, don't think thats going to work. If my brother was a dealer or a paedophile, i'm not going to get banged up for it thank you very much... Can't punish me for others sins!

Ah, yes the old 'collective responsibility' rule.
Or maybe just the 'make them fear us' notion.

Like Israel we can level the village, if a terrorist has lived there.
Or like Saddam, use chemical weapons on a whole race of people if one of them tries to assassinate him.

I mean you can tell it works can't you, Hezbollah have surrendered and the Kurds no longer exist.

Now that this is the policy being used by 'them' against 'us', with indiscriminate bombing of civilians. We are doomed, we might as well just give up.

To be fair, a good deal of the terrorists are British, and their parents are british. where are you going to send them to? A random middle eastern country?

gr_bateman

Totally agree with you there. Not racist at all. They are ruining it for some of my friends who came from othr countries. I know someone from Africa who has joined our army. Wish all could be like that.

I don't think it's racist but we cannot punish someone for actions a family member commited unless we can show proof that they aided them or contributed to them. In most cases they do and they are deported.

Cant really send their famillies back as they are not guilty of anything. That would be like putting murderers famillies in jail.

Whitelord

I don't think it is racist! I think it is a fair point. The shame is that there are alot of imigrants that want to be British and proud to be.

To be honest, though, I'm not sure if these terrorist really care about their families. They are willing to sacrifice all in their quest, including innocent children and, indeed, themselves.

Saddam Hussien executed families of those who went against him. Not that I condone all that but people still went against him. Spending families should happen but I believe I wouldn't be enough.

ambafox

Not racist just unkind.

Why blame the families, that may well be totally innocent for sometjing their partner did.

Guilty by association isnt the way!

interested

are you assuming that all , Arabs are terrorists ???!!! or are you saying that there are those nations like "USA and Britain " are harboring terrorists and their families ....?????

and if all Arabs are terrorists , then we need to leave them alone and just ignore them .

and if you are saying that the USA and Great Britain is harboring terrorists and their families and that we have to send them back to their home lands , then I BELIEVE that the war on terror should be against the USA and Britain as they are harboring them and their families

You know you might be on to something. However others will argue that you cannot control anyone inculding your own family member. I think you are right though. With religion being a factor in all this its very complex. I really don't know that there is an answer.

Harriet

As a sort of example? I see. Would it work, do you think?

mrangelosd

it is not racist, as you do not have anything about other people as of their color or religion but if their are somehow connected to terrorist:)
and i think your idea is good, the only problem are human rights organisations, but i think it would be possible if most of citizen would vote for it in open, global voting:)

basil_academia

DO NT BE RACIST . WE HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT TERRORISING BEFORE MR. BUSH ADMINISTRATIONS

brite star

No its not racist, but I bet it would stop alot of terrorists attacks. Its hard enough as it is, to be an American and recieve benefits/and kind of preferential treatment.

006

That is not racist, however it is tribal justice where you can be held responsible if your family member does something wrong (even if you had nothing to do with it and didn't know about it). In western societies, we hold people accountable for their own actions, not the actions of others, as we believe people should not be forcing other people to do anything.

Why punish families for what 1 or 2 members have done.
Besides it wouldn't be punishment to send someone back to
their homeland. It would be like us committing a crime in another
country and they send us back to the United States.

the_other_gal

it's not racist at all! you aren't discriminating against a certain race, you are making suggestions about how to deal with criminals who ruin people's lives

i personally thiink it is a fair point and i genuinely think that this should be the manner in which terrorists are dealt with.

nikejustdoit88

i have to say i agree with you 110%, even in the Uk they give them way better treatment than they would get in there home country so they come to the Uk/U.S. and they get into the community and no one want them their because we are all afraid becuase they seclude thmeselves from everyone else so it makes people wonder what they are really doing, i know some just threw school and you cant get into there family at all you cant go over to the house, no phone numbers, nothing! and they dont try to fit in either they stand out more than anyone, other culutres have come to the U.S. and they work at trying to fit in but whatever they are just do there own thing and get mad at us for us saying we dont like them! well if they dont like it they can leave! i also say that we shouldnt be giving anyone preferential treatment, when we started to live in america we had nothing and my long family had to work really hard to get what they have now, but terrosist family's walk right in and they get money from the government, and they think we need to bow down and kiss there feet! like they are way better than us! and before we go off and trin them, give them and education, they all need to get background checks everything so that they wont go back to there country with the education they have gotten and help there home country and become terrorist leaders! if they come here they cant leave! and it may be racial profiling but no other culture has doen what these people have done, so i would seclude them out and treat them different than anyone else, not all of them may be terrorist family members but after being here for more than 10 years, and being heavily commited to the community then maybe i would allow them rights, but i would heavily watch them! i agree with your opinion 1000000000000% if they dont like how we treat them get out! and we treat them way to good!

The question isn't racist unless you had a certain race in mind when you asked it. HOWEVER, i think it would certainly not be fair to disrupt the lives of people who are not involved in the commitment of a criminal act. Just like it's isnt fair for a terroist to disrupt the lives of innocent people.

Such thinking creates a cycle of hatred and fear for everyone and someone has to step up and put a stop to it- if not "them", then us, and shipping innocent women, children and family would not be right.

Queen Victoria of Port

It's not racist, but it is unfair.
