[Terrorism] Debate rages over 'shoot-to-kill' | BBC

However, the Muslim Association of Britain's Azzam Tamimi said: "It doesn't matter whether he (Mr Menezes) is a Muslim or not, he is a human being.

"It is human lives that are being targeted - whether by terrorists or, as in this case, by the people who are supposed to be catching the terrorists.

"I just cannot imagine how someone pinned to the ground can be a source of danger."

Marc Says: The Muslim community continues to marginalize itself. Azzam Tamimi either does not have much of an imagination or he is being proactively and provocatively naive(almost certainly the latter).

The rest of us do have imaginations. We can easily imagine what the Israelis have encountred multiple times, a homocide-suicide bomber with a chest-pack bomb and a pair of wires running down his sleeve to his hand, where he can close the switch to trigger the bomb's explosion by slightly moving one finger, whether he is pinned to the ground or not.
