I truly wonder where they get this stuff.

You really couldn't make it up if you tried !

Eventually you will realise the logical flaw with your line of reasoning
here. (Maybe)

The 30 day detention is only for Innocent people. The ones with enough
evidence of guilt will be charged and tried. The ones released by the court
are actually innocent.

Or do you disagree with the legal process?

Your strawman is that all terrorists are just put away for 30 days in a
hotel. This is nonsense.

The western civilisation (in my opinion and I think Eeyores) is indeed
decent. Decent is not defined by being western.

Have a word with yourself. This is nonsense. When the "extremists" are in
charge is not a decent civilised society.

You are trying to overhaul decent, western, civilisation to match your
extremists ideas.

Again, your posts have too many logical fallacies for a reasonable response.

What makes you think your ideas will be more infallible than a legal process
option?

(far from small, but your sense of scale is as insane as your ideas about
civilised behaviour)

Did it cause the downfall of western civilisation?

Why is calling in the US Army a sign of failure? That means people _do_ know
how to fix things.

It is like saying no one knew how to re-wire the electric in my house
without calling in an electrician.

Or so you assume.

There are two more issues here.

If you're rounding up Muslims on suspicion alone, that will breed discontent in
their community and the moderates may very likely become radicalised themselves
to some degree.

Even if they aren't radicalised themselves, they will be undermined in their
efforts by these actions. Who would listen to a moderate when your friends are
being locked up without reasonable evidence ?

I can't imagine anything worse and indeed more likely to cause greater conflict
and ill-will.

Internment in Northern Ireland didn't work either.
