No one on here wants the terrorists to win and no one wants to kill innocents. Let's not go over the top.

I think the issue is how best to stop terrorists. We can't just fight everyone because they're not a nation state we can beat and win a war against. I don't have any problems with us fighting them when we need to but we probably need another approach as well to stop it for good, if that's even possible.
If these murderers in France can be detained without risk then that's what should happen. Like the UK France is a nation of laws and to execute people is against those laws. All of us are equal under the law and that's a principal we should protect. However if there is any risk to anyone and the police need to stop them with force then so be it, I have no problems with that either.
