In the path you speak of, one has to eliminate radicals that are ready to die killing us, abduct us. Does it sound harsh ? Think of what lack of action has caused in Britain - grooming gangs that have operated there for years (most of them happen to be Pakistanis btw). If you can see the cost of silence and inaction then you will realise that inaction is not an option. You need both a stick and carrot.
Universal civil code is next after triple talaq. Same law for all. This is what even US had and the west. Secularism doesn’t mean separate laws, it means civil laws that apply equally to all regardless of race and religion. This simple concept doesn’t fly with them even.
I will concede, it’s not just the stick. It’s both. However stick is also absolutely necessary because I cannot bear to think of the crimes on innocents and children and grooming gangs in UK is just one example.
I thank you for the open dialogue on this subject. Feel free to disagree. There is always room for differences with same goals if the goals are same but remember every second some Islamic extremist/terroriat is harming some innocent at this instant and one cannot simply be a bystander for that.
But if we directly go to war with them with the intention to eliminate them, it would affect us immensely economically like it is to US.
But how do we as a nation still developing and struggling on various aspects survive that?
