90 percent of tweets about terror, what 'plays into' terrorists hands, how "the terrorists win" etc are full-on nonsense.

Mehdi Hasan, Intercept columnist and host at Al Jazeera English, probably thought this was a smart response to Saturday’s deadly terror attack in London.
Unfortunately for him, it wasn’t:
There is, by definition, only one way to really defeat terrorism.
To refuse to be terrorized.#London

Sorry, Mehdi. But that’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.
There is, by definition, only one way to stay young
To refuse to celebrate birthdayshttps://t.co/37GPsPEdD4

New anti-terrorism protocol:
Next time shrapnel comes your way, politely decline.

Come-on terrorism has to be dealt with – what are you suggesting we cuddle up together and say we resist – how many more attacks needed?

I refused to be terrorized, am I safe now?

Ok. I refuse.
Have the attacks stopped now?
Not yet?
Any magic words I need to say with my refusal?Who listens to this inane garbage?

Try telling that to the families of the dead! It disgusts me that you can tweet this nonsense at this time. #london

Maybe Mr. Hasan could consider this alternative anti-terrorism strategy:
You misspelled" proactively take out terrorists"
