Are Australia's actions in Iraq boosting revenge terrorism? : Comments

By Peter Coates, published 19/9/2014

The Abbott Government's contention that Australia's return to Iraq will not increase the terrorism risk at home is dangerously contrived.

Agree with LEGO. No muslim immigration would equal no threat of muslim terrorism in our beautiful country. If 1.3 billion people choose to belong to a religion that keeps them in the 13th century then that is their problem and not ours. The prophet mohammed (lower case intended) was nothing but a barbaric, murderous paedophile (one of his wives was just six years old)and that certainly has no place in Australia. There is NO place in Australia for islam, period. Send the ragheads back to ragheadland where they belong.

What a useless bit of fluff. Peter has been pounding away on his keyboard, just for the sake of pounding. If you have something to say Peter for gods sake say it, rather than waffling on.

If you believe in appeasement, perhaps you should say so, & perhaps advise us where this has worked in the past. Appeasement is exactly what we have been practicing, called multiculturalism these days, for too long. It is just what has brought us to the point where you appear to be recommending we comply with the wishes of this scum, or we will be in trouble.

If you are not recommending we roll over & give in to this scum, please say simply, just what you do recommend as a course of action. Any fool can see the problem, & most of us can see the cause, so your telling us is a waste of time.

If you don't have something to contribute to a solution, other than give in as you appear to be saying here, don't waste time with waffle.

I was under the impression Iraq has asked for help to prevent more massacres of thousands of innocent people.
Obviously we must resist this call for aid and simply accept the inhumane death of innocents as necessary sacrifices whilst we negotiate a solution to this centuries old dilemma.

As some sage said "In the end do we seriously think that after a decade of the US fighting then advising and arming the failed Iraqi Army our participation in Iraq will make a difference?" Iraq again is an open-ended mission, there is no timeframe for how long troops would be there or a notion of what success would look like.

The simplistic racist and religious (ban all Muslims in Australia!) arguments show ignorance of war-terrorist-insurgency issues. Syria and Turkey present porous borders that will frustrate our counter-insurgency efforts in Iraq.

This article has established a clear link (thankyou ASIO, AFP and Pendennis) between Australia following the US into foreign wars and radicalisation back home.

As more Australian military are ordered to follow the US into Iraq the more Iraqi and Syrian extremists (also the Syrian Government) can depict this as another Western Invasion and Occupation". This will radicalise more moderate Muslim youth in Australia.

Abbott, our National Security Action Man, is boosting military responses to Ukraine and to Iraq to divert attention away from a failed Budget and away from Palmer's dominance in Parliament.

I like the idea of providing free one-way tickets to anyone who wants to go fight for ISIS. But let's add a secret tracking chip to their passports so once they are over there, we know where to direct the drones.

For all the idiots who want to blame Abbott, do you honestly think if Labour was in power the PM wouldn't support the USA? If Labour was in, it would probably take longer for them to make up their minds and a few 1000 could die in the interim, but they would come around, especially for Obama.

I fail to see how assisting, National Muslim Governments, defend their sovereign territory, will make things worse here, but rather, force a few militants miscreants to play a premature hand; or mistakenly read the mood of local moderate Muslims; who understand, more than anyone, that they are at the very top of Isil's mass murder hit list!
Therefore, if anyone is at greater risk here at home, because of our assistance, it has to be locally embedded Isil sympathizers!?
Besides, standing and doing nothing, in the face of this "Satanic evil," is and was, never ever an option!
