There are only a few things I'd comment on, although I completely agree with basically everything the writer has stated.
I wonder if the author of the report stating there would be around 3000 potential jihadists in south western Sydney alone, Mustafa Karim Ali, will be labelled an Islamophobe?
One of the major problems we face is that although non-Muslims have been saying similar things for years, they are labelled fear-mongers, for reporting on such facts.
I think all would have to agree that if there are 3000 potential jihadists, there must be a sea they swim in of those with lesser sentiment. It is this I think we haven't even begun to face, that is, the extreme xenophobia, racism, we see spewing forth from the Muslim community in general.
Tanveer Ahmed has admitted anti-western sentiment, racism, and hatred of 'white sluts' were prominent themes when he was growing up. I believe this general sentiment also made it possible for Australia to witness it's first ever racially motivated pack rapes - although the Islamic community have brought with them a large number of 'never before seen' crimes.
I would also add that when people are shocked that the recent Muslim terrorists are doctors, they see it from a western viewpoint. Other cultures/religions have vastly different ethics to us, one would imagine that would be clear now but some refuse to acknowledge this reality.
Non-western values are barbaric, backward, cold, and sometimes evil.
Operation Pendennis was met with fury by Muslim leaders I recall, again, showing that the bulk of Muslims view such would-be killers as heroes for the Islamic cause.
On isolation, the writer surely is referring to Muslims self-imposed isolation out of their belief Muslims are superior to dirty kufr. This explains why the good folk at Cronulla were abused, spat at, told to get out of the rockpools - so the angry young Muslim males could have their burqa clad wives swim uncontaminated.
Think about how vile their racism is!
