I much prefer the analysis of the origins of the now world-wide phenomenon of terrorism given in the essay:
The Savage Vision Driving a Terror-Ridden (driven) World featured on the Empire Burlesque website.

This site also provides comprehensive resources on the never-ending phenomenon of Western (Christian) terrorism
http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com
The phenomenon of systematic Western Christian terrorism described on the above essay and website has of course been going on for 1700 years, ever since the early Christian movement was co-opted by the Roman State - Christian-ISM then became the world-dominant religion via the business end of Constantine's famous SWORD.

The Western Christian imperial project continues, unabated.

Many who have kept an eye on news sources other than the Western mainstream media realise that the recent increased violence by Muslims has been largely due to covert support of radical groups by Western powers, particularly the US to fight proxy wars on their behalf. Also, the military industrial complex needs to create new supposed enemies to justify its continued existence and financial backing after the demise of communism. . Have seen reported that there are no known Shia terrorist groups and the main ones are from the Wahhabi sect of Sunnis, backed by Saudi Arabia. It seems something like a Muslim version of the supposedly Christian based Ku Klux Klan which most other Christians strongly dissociate from.

Then note how unscrupulous Zionists have been caught out supporting Muslim extremists to further their own agendas. eg Providing medical treatment for ISIS fighters wounded in Syria. Israel would like to reduce opposition to its own expansion by helping encourage breakup of neighbouring Muslim countries into small - and failed states with different Muslim groups busy fighting each other. Even note how this has been happening in Syria. Including a recent battle with CIA supported terrorists and Pentagon supported terrorists fighting each other instead of forces of the legitimate Syrian government.

It is the efforts of western powers to destabilise governments that do not pander to their own interests and try to have puppets and stooges installed by military force that has created the refugee problem Largely innocent people who are desperate to get away from the fighting, especially after their homes and communities suffer major destruction.

There is plenty of doubt that most Muslims in Australia "just want to get on with with life".

There will always be doubt. We know nothing about "moderate" Muslims and what they think; they play their cards close to their chest and say little about the violence of their religion. All religion is based on scripture, and Muslims adhere to the violent scripture of Islam or they are not Muslims. Muslims have not "integrated". They should never have been allowed into the West, including Australia. It is not too late to stop all Muslim immigration to Australia; Muslim immigration should stop now. Muslim immigration is the main vehicle for a take over of the West.

It's too broad a brush depiction of Islam; and to the point of, I believe, islamophobia?

And not corrected by the last somewhat inclusive statement pertaining to Australian Muslims, who like all other religions are peppered with diverse opinions and viewpoints, some of which, all too clearly sympathises with the ISIS position, however horrible or barbaric!?

And indeed, behooves us to make far better use of space age technology, if only to avoid recent events in our streets and that cafe!

Sure removing all the visible threats, [ultra simplistic gun control that disarms the civilian population,] might help, but just allow the invisible ones (illegal guns) to remain, as before, undetected until brought out and used with (preventable) lethal consequences!

Incidently, 50 tons of trucked ammonium nitrate was alone supposed to have exploded and destroyed an essential inland bridge some time ago, in Queensland.

Now, to be sure, ammonium nitrate is but one component of a mining explosive (anso) and needs other ingredients mixed thoroughly in to make an actual explosive mix, that even so, still needs a sympathetic concussion, like a priming cap in ammunition, to create said explosion!

[The fact that our authorities seem t have bought the highly dubious explanation and lock stock and barrel, says plenty about our level of, head in the sand, security!]

The busted bridge could have just been a trial run to test capability?
Imagine something that could turn a two lane reinforced concrete bridge into virtual matchwood turning up near/under a busy office block or centre of commercial activity and while a celebrity or celebrities were inside?

Left up to me, I would want to re interview all participants connected to the destruction of said bridge, with the aid of covertly deployed unbeatable space age technology!

And couple that to covertly deployed ethnic profiling, which given any revealed suspicious behaviour, could be complemented with interviews assisted by covertly deployed space age technology.

If we would beat ISIS, time to get real about security.
Rhrosty.

Rod Mc Garvie: Islam is a religion with a violent political agenda.

Yes, yes, We all ready know that.

Goodness only knows they say it enough. The moslim aim is to inflict the world with Islam & those that can't accept that will be killed.

It's that simple. Anyone not killed will be their slaves to buy & sell as they see fit & the women, as young as 7 years old, will be there for them to have sex with whenever they feel the urge, which is, apparently, quite often.

"Islam is a religion with a violent political agenda."

That's a conflict of terms: religion leads one toward God while violence leads one away from God - so if, or to the extent that, Islam has a violent political agenda, then it is not a religion.
