Trade, blasphemy and safe havens : Comments

It is not only in the Middle East and in areas under the control of ISIS that Christians and other minorities are suffering persecution. Pakistan, our friendly cricket-playing Commonwealth country is a major offender.

Sorry SPQR only just noticed your question.

No.
How many people have we accepted as immigrants over the years? That madman in Martin Place was only one of them. Do we decry all immigration because of one man out of millions?

Were his actions because he was a refugee?
If not then WTF does it have to do with anything?

Whether he was a refugee or a native born Australian has no bearing on what he did and in no way reflects on our immigration and refugees systems.
To try and say so is just more of the same shameful, racist, bigoted, divisive dog whistling so popular with rightards these days.
