Yeah. I just realized, I hope that the Je Suis Charlie flag is in the spirit of the cartoons and being those colors as a satire of the ISIS one.

If we take them alive, perhaps we can bargain with them to exchange hostages. If French national policy permits that.

That hinges on the fact that they were ISIS (or whatever group) members, and not just people trying to emulate them.

We don't have slaves or indigenous peoples. We have immigrants. They must integrate. I don't care about Brazil, America, Peru, or China.

But immigrants aren't just null faces of void! They come with an already preset power relationship with the population of the host nation.

There's still the notion of European cultures being ideal/superior in such sentiment, which is historical and common to the historical Christendom, from which we benefit from, that creates a power hierarchy in relation to the cultures of the colonized, that are still oppressed under the racial superstructure, and both mingle, as they never stopped doing.

People have the duty to follow the law. Full stop.

I don't care. And I certainly don't care about their ancestors' "power relationship"(that's a new and, amazing, term) with France.

I still don't care. If you're here, you accept us. Otherwise, try your luck elsewhere.

That seems like a good idea though. Since in Algeria there is still a french hostage. But the problem is that it would be extremely hurtfull towards the family of those that died

No, it's completely normal and was stated ITT previously.

"Contentious political issues" are not permitted as flag material.
When the whole "it's just a flag" thing was going up from Gameplay/WA, I changed my flag from what was removed to "contentious political issues" in the same format and had that removed too.

There should be no rehabilitation for scum like that. Death or lifetime. Everything else I think is despicable.
The People's Republic of Kaitjan is a nation most glorious: a totalitarian communist dictatorship set against a backdrop of vast jungles, great rivers and a horribly tropical climate. Kaitjan is renowned for its all-encompassing militarism, rampant xenophobia, isolationist tendencies and a great love for tigers and tiger motifs.

Considering that the "problem" in this case is a political view, that would basically be political imprisonment. Just lock them in as punishment and to keep the public safe.

When it comes to terrorism, it's a tough spot.

You could deter future terrorists by executing the ones you arrest, but you risk upsetting:

  1. The UN
  2. Other countries
  3. The terrorist group that you've already pissed off

You could rehabilitate them but that takes a huge amount of effort to break that extremism that has been drilled into the members.

So, execution is a faster but more brutal way while rehabilitation is a slower but more peaceful and effective way. In the end however, it is the choice of the French Justice System.

Stopstopstopstopstop right there and hold the fuck up before you continue sir.

First of all, everything was not alright before the Arabs immigrated to Europe. It was still a political and national hotpot in Eastern Europe and pretty liberal in Western Europe (except for the Basque nationalists). The Arabs immigrated into Europe for asylum, escaping turmoil in countries such as Syria, the Gaza Strip (I believe, not sure, someone grab a source for me please if this happened), Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and many other places that are "politically unstable".

In order to properly construct a good argument, you need to remove your emotion from it (enough so that you aren't insulting a party that is involved in the debate. Debating 101). Right now, unfortunately, you're doing the opposite, insulting and ranting on about how bad the Arabs are. Please, if you are going to do that, just stop, please. It is not helping the discussion of this despicable and cowardly attack on satirical journalists and their superiors as well as the French National Police.

Thanks.

Funny thing is that thousands of Arab immigrants are helping ISIS now. Verbally and Physically. Arabs are going too far doing these stuff in the Heart of Europe.

Rehabilitation would be a great victory for France if it succeeds. It would be great propaganda for the "west" if one of the former terrorist gave a speech condemning his attacks and condemning ISIS as a whole.

There is only one choice in your case, since the death penalty is illegal in France (in their constitution).

Also "It's tough so lets not do it" Is utter bovine.
