@Ocelot true.
But I guess it could help in solving the bigger problem.These people are not born to fight with
explosives and other weapons.They undergo training in Syria.They come back as trained individuals.This is obviously not possible in countries like France and such.
As we know, a lot of people are being recruited online so those supporting pro-IS propaganda should be closely monitored and suspicious people should be quickly identified.
For example a couple from India who I assume were radicalized were stopped from going to Syria.After a broader research it was learnt that the woman(couple) was recruiting people online and was subsequently arrested.
Most of the attackers involved in the Paris attack had been to Syria.
It's not a definitive cure but just preventive measures.

Sure you don't have to put them in your backyard, I understand that and I understand that you hold no responsibility of the decisions your governments is/are taking and that's why I was pointing this at your governments and not individuals. Either help them put the an end to the fire they were part of it, or don't close your doors (as in States) in their faces.
Our Nation security and intelligence service (Säpo) raised our alert level to 4 out of 5 just now 
Apparently received some intel of an individual returning from training in Syria with the expressed purpose staging an attack in the capital. Probably will turn out to be nothing, but good to be prepared, even if our police force usually is completely so not prepared for most things.

How do you objectively define "ISIS supporters"? How do you put together a random sample size of tweets that specifically only include those so called "ISIS supporters"? And in what way would such a statistics even mean anyways, seeing as it says probably much more about twitter and social media usage than ISIS support?
We could take the extreme and round up all the politically liable elected officials, round them up, and then execute them to hold them accountable for their actions. Then what? What does that solve? The Syrians are still f'ed and migrating in massive waves, ISIS is still beheading and blowing up people, etc. Maybe it makes a few people feel better with "Take that, I told you so"s, but other than appeasing some smugness that offers very little improvement relative to the predicament the world is now in.
That's not saying people shouldn't be held accountable, but that's also hindsight. That doesn't change the current circumstances. People in the U.S. military don't just say, "Oh, I quit" and go AWOL because they didn't vote for the guy (or woman) who got voted president. That's absurd.

No Surprises there then...
A few days ago on a talkshow there were Ulrich Wickert and Uschi Von der Leyen. Wickert suggested to start cutting off ISIS' diplomatic connections and Uschi responded that we would not solve the conflict by adding more conflict.
