Commentators have wrong take on Sydney siege : Comments

By Brendan O'Reilly, published 23/12/2014

While particular aspects of the Monis case are a matter for investigation, the whole experience suggests that the pendulum has swung too far in the direction of 'compassion' and away from realism and national interest.

Monis was a Muslim terrorist following the call of ISIS to do damage.

The moment it was realised this guy was an Islamist, the shot should have been taken.

Is Mise' the USA were terrorists by dropping cluster bombs during the Vietnam war to do damage, and they are still maiming and killing people, there are terrorists in all societies who believe they are right when they are completely wrong, there is no difference between one and the other.

Onjab did I see you at the mass demonstration against the Taliban for killing all those school children the other day.

No? I didn't think so. Why is that?

No Jayb because the killing of children is not only done by the Taliban, perhaps have a look at both sides of the fence instead of one side, neither have any qualms about killing children, but of course some children are different to others where enemies are concerned, but all children are innocent of crimes regardless of there deranged peers.

Onjab,

I'm sure most of us on this thread would condemn any American action forty years ago that resulted in the death of innocent children, from 30,000 feet.

That was then, this is now.

Do you or don't you condemn the murder of 130 children, lined up and shot one by one, by the Taliban ? Do you condemn the shooting in the face of Malala with intent to murder (now THERE's courage) for wanting to get an education ?

Do you condemn the beheading of innocent children in Iraq and Syria by ISIS ? Do you or don't you condemn the rape and enslavement of thousands of non-Muslim women by ISIS ? Do you condemn the lining up of thousands of prisoners to be shot, Babi Yar-style, by ISIS ? [Look it up on Wikipedia]

Do you condemn the murder of thousands, the kidnapping, rape and enslavement of hundreds of girls, in Nigeria, in Boko haram's hatred of education ? The murder of non-Muslim fishermen in Nigeria ? The murder of fifty quarry-workers in Kenya ? The murder of non-Muslim passengers on a bus in Kenya, taken off and shot one by one ?

No ? Then you are no better than any other lickspittle apologist for terrorism. And you probably think of yourself as 'Left'. Disgusting.

Can't you see what your 'friends' are opposing ? Everything that is potentially progressive in the world, particularly education, particularly education for girls, the salvation of the Third World.

So whose side are you on ? Reaction or, imperfect as they may be, the fruits of the Enlightenment ? A perfect dystopia or an imperfect world ?

Joe
