Seeing as the only language they understand is violence I'd say this is the beast option.

They are like rapid dogs. They couldn't stop even if their life was in danger or on the verge of death.

Ban them. Deport them. Problem solved.

In that sense, I agree with you. This is something I've been thinking about. It's like there are "levels" of civilization people are able to handle.

Those who are at a radical Islam level only understand violence and death. They need a tyrannical dictator to keep them in check because they tend to destroy and bomb wherever they go and ruin society. In that sense, the dictatorships of the ME make perfect sense.

Radical Communists fit into that same category. They believe violence is the same as words and they like the brown-shirt method of negotiation. They only understand violence and act that way.

Then you have people who need a mommy-state as adults because life is too hard. Socialist societies work for them because they like the a safety net, but they don't get to keep much money (if they earn any). Europe is mostly like this. Full democracies operate this way as the people will vote themselves money.

Then there are those fully civilized in freedom and liberty, who take responsibility for themselves and their immediate neighbors and surroundings, who live by the idea of personal responsibility and local control. They understand liberty and will be the least violent people you cross. These people function best in a full republic with liberty as the base - which was what the US was for the first 75 -100 years (we've lost a lot of it sense then). They can handle a self correcting society and the morality that is required in order to maintain it. Mixing these types does not work well.

It's just a hypothesis I've been killing over for years, but that's where I have it now.
