What the hell am I going to say? There is no magic bullet that can fix everything, but the first step is to stop doing things that make it worse. If I don't have an alternative, that doesn't mean that the current course is correct; to say that is to say "We must do something, this is something, therefore we must do this." The first step in getting out of a hole is to stop digging. If digging is all you know how to do, that's not a reason to keep digging; you still need to stop.

And of course religions should not be exempt from laws, whether it's Muslim honor killings or faith-healing child abuse. The honor killings should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but military occupation of Muslim neighborhoods in London, or random arrests of Muslims, would not be the way to go.
