- Quick Hits | If you "just drove the bus" for ISIS, should we let you go?
It should surprise no one that most terrorists deny what they did. After all, admitting to it would mean a quick conviction were you to come to trial. What do we do with those who say they joined terrorist groups but did nothing violent? Borealis weighs in on this topic.

When terrorism cases come to court it is necessary to prove that ideology drove a (planned) act of violence. Why do we need to do that? Isn't violence simply violence? Borealis asks whether a recent Greek court decision to convict the far right Golden Dawn as a criminal organisation rather than a terrorist one has lessons for all of us.

There are those in the US especially who say that groups like Antifa are terrorist in nature and should be banned. Antifa would be left-wing extremism, although some would take issue with that. Borealis appears as a guest on a podcast hosted by Vaush to look at these issues.
