"Most fundamentally, it begs the question whether we in the West can afford to continue treating those who want to destroy us by adhering to the principles of equality before the law and due process, which are the cornerstones of Western democracies."
So we should rush to embrace the worst qualities of this Islamic/terroist way of life? If we don't stand by our principles then we have none.
