#1 It strikes me that this would be an excellent way to round up these pricks. Just open up a phoney video store or barber shop, and allow these mooks to hang themselves.

Not really any different than the first famous sting operation that was immortalized by Dom Deluise and Jerry Reed in the movie "Hot Stuff".

Hell's Bells, folks, these idiots would come to US! No need to chase them!

Why not?!

#2 Continuing with Ed's idea...

Barbershop 3, where Ice Cube and Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer) become CIA agents to pay off the debt on the Barbershop in Chicago and get Queen Latifah out of jail. They go to the Afghan/Pakistan border and kick ass on the Taliban and everybody. They can link it to that hilarious movie series Fridays by having Fridays 3, Holy Friday.

#3 It has been learnt that as many as 60 containers have been shifted to the area to be used for residential purpose.

As in temporary holding cells?

#5 When Allah created the universe, two of his main ideas were that people should not shave beards or sell cassettes.

#6 Ed---I like your flypaper or sting operation. Use their intellect and cultural prejudices to lure them to their doom.....like a venus flytrap. Definitely a class act. After the first few suckers, word will spread and the trap will be exposed, but then the world will be safe for barbers and music shops again. It is a win-win!

#7 Actually, Paul, it could go on forever. Remember, Islam has that little problem where any member can claim any OTHER member has become a heretic.

All we will have to do is put a few REAL video stores and/or barber shops down on the ground, along with a fake or two. If they DON'T attack, they're failing in their duty to their religion, and we can get, say, a co-operative Sufi Muslim (decent guys and NOT Islamo-facists) to put on a turban and speechify at length how cowardly they are by NOT attacking.

Make it so they HAVE to attack a real target or face their screeching masters for not being radical enough. Then simply arrange so they can't tell which one's the real target.

We'll loose a few people, but then, we've done this before. It's the "Q-ship" method.

Come to think of it, something like this happened in the NY subway system when that guy Bernie Goetz shot a few wanna-be muggers some years ago. The mayor of NY didn't want to admit it, but for some weeks after the shooting, crimes in the subway went DOWN. The street-scum didn't know who might or might not be carrying, and chose to err on the side of caution.

As was said by a famous millionaire from Gotham City.. "Criminals (and terrorists) are a superstitious, cowardly lot."
