By Greg Byrne, published 7/5/2013It is tragic that the NCC, so perceptive in analysing the ideology of Marxism and the Greens, is failing to do the same with Islam.

This weekend my wife had planned to go to the city with friends. The event was cancelled because of police advice to the community that there may be groups planning to visit the city with the intention of starting trouble. As we know from Cronolla these guys have no qualms about attacking women. So they cancelled. The only winners out of this are the extremists.
We've already seen where extremist views lead on both sides (eg. Anders Behring Breivik). When i asked my wife not to go to the city i had in mind various attacks by people spitting and pulling of hijabs. The story of Marwa El-Sherbini came to mind. She was murdered by her neighbour, Alex Wiens, in a frenzied attack with a knife (she was was three months pregnant, expecting her second child). It was in a court room where she was testifying against him for verbal abuse and from court records there was no mistaking his motives: the views he expressed in court seem identical to the views you have expressed, as do those of Breivik.
I've also heard the diatribe of the Islamic extremists...they are both based on willful ignorance and misinformation. This is not a clash of civilisations, its a clash of ignorance in which only the extremists can win.
