Religion and God
These are terms which have involved almost every virtue and vice imaginable. What is probably the only common basic value is a deficient concept of loyalty. It is deficient where it does not essentially relate to other values. To say that 'God is Love' in the more particular end value of altruism, or to say we are an altruist democracy, is positive. Altruism has to be defined in contrast to the other end values of the servile state or theocracy and anarchistic individualism. An absolute terrorist would have no belief in any kind of social order.
Every person migrating to Britain, and everyone registering to vote, should be required to swear allegiance to altruistic democracy by some positive value definitions. Anyone under suspicion of so called 'extremist' beliefs, or returning from suspect activities in the Middle East should be tagged, with such intermittent checking as may be possible.
