Hey Shadow Minister,
I'd agree the west being allied with Saudi Arabia 'desire to spread its extremist version of Islam' is a huge part of the cause.

Hey Luciferase,
'The fewer the sharks in the water the fewer people will be eaten when they go swimming.'
I'd agree with that mentality.
I won't willingly support anything that put Australian lives in harms way.
I do support freedom and liberty for all, but I DO NOT support that one person should be FORCED to give up freedoms and liberties so that someone else (essentially foreigners) should have theirs.

A side note: Whether we are racist or not, is a secondary issue and not necessary relevant.
If we are racist, then why did they choose to come here?

Hey LEGO,
Agreed.

Also Everyone,
Lets not get caught up in all the smaller pictures all the time.
The bigger picture is that ALL this stuff, is happening in a way that is steering us towards One World Government and centralisations of wealth and power.
Open Borders are being supported by elites for a specific agenda, lets not forget that.

We have no choice but to fight back against the Islamic attack on Rome.
"Rome" is the historical noun for all the west including the USA and
Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and recently Brasil has been added to the list.

The crusades were fought for the same reasons that the US and allies
went there in recent times. The Arabs had invaded the Levant and
Mesopotamian countries and they were an attempt to free the Jews and
Christians from the Islamic Arab invaders who were following the
demands of the Koran and Allah.

We are just doing what our distant forefathers did and when the people
in the Middle East call us crusaders they are correct, although the
emphasis is not on Christianity so much these days.

It is time to settle this war once and for all.
Just pulverising their countries and sending them back to the dark
ages will only mean they will rebuild and start it all over again.
Somehow we have to break Islam up, and show it to its adherents in its
true colours. They have to understand that their present course will
lead to further depredation and death.

If you think all of the above is nonsense just go and read some of
the ISIS and Al Qa’ida statements. The Koran and history is their justification.

This nonsense is just that, nonsense.
Calling some one else's opinion a "Phobia" needs to be challenged every time it bobs up.
Phobia? OK let's hear Dilly boys qualifications for this, same goes with the appalling Aly woman now an MP.
We need to go these people and make them understand that a fear of something can be rational and in fact can be very sensible. I am not afraid of venomous snakes but if one bites me I will still die. I am not afraid of heights but if I fall I will still die. I love all our new islamic migrants but they can still kill me, understand now?
Someone with more money than me should sue the next idiot who uses "Islamaphobia" as an abusive term under 18C.

JBower, are you referring to my "nonsense" ?
Who is Dillyboy ?
As someone said "Please Explain".

It is all a matter of percentage.
The first person I noted that published a risk of Islamic Terrorism
scale was Geert Wilders the Dutch politician.
At 2% moslem population we have a small but real risk. Proven.
At 5% you start to get pressure for Sharia law implementation.
You get an increase in terrorism incidents.
At 10% an increase in aggressive opposition to police.
At 20% demands for Islamic laws, attacks on police, moslem only no go
zones for all others. Attacks on churches synagogues etc.
Essentially the situation in France and Belgium today.

At 40% to 50% it is time to pack up and leave. This has happened in
past times in some middle eastern countries. The Christian population
in many of those countries is now approaching zero.

Zero moslem immigration and positive discouragement of Islam officially
is the only possible way forward. It is not politically correct but
for the sake of those who would otherwise die it is necessary.
Perhaps a Royal Commission could examine Islam as it is practised to
decide if it is a political ideology masquerading as a religion or
in fact both and so should be seen as some sort of hybrid and be
subject to the normal laws on political organisations.
The commission could be asked if Islam is a risk to the Australian constitution.

There is no way to tell who will become a terrorist or cause other
trouble, no go zones etc, we just have to take quarantine action just
like we do for other undesirable goods, animals and people.
It really is a matter of life and death.

SteeleRedux,

Please read my posts before commenting. WRT France, I said that the attacks on France were PLANNED before France got involved. Secondly Belgium and Germany weren't even involved before they were attacked. Please Don't cherry pick. There is no indication that involvement in the effort against ISIS has anything to do with the involvement of the country in the action against ISIS.

Dear Shadow Minister,

You wrote;

“I said that the attacks on France were PLANNED before France got involved.”

Pray tell which attacks? Those over 2 years ago you might have a case but the rest? Highly unlikely. You might want to contradict both the French President and ISIS but forgive me for putting you far down the credibility scale as a result. But as I said if it fits the narrative you have created for yourself then I acknowledge it would of course be uncomfortable for you to accept reality.

Dear Bazz,

There comes a time when one crosses over the fruitloop threshold. You are periously close my friend.

Dear JBoywer,

My youngest recently had a 21st. In attendance were both people who are openly gay and others who are Muslim.

In years gone past an openly gay person would have been regarded as dangerous, perverted and a threat to others. Through modern eyes these attitudes would have been rightly regarded as homophobic.

You regard all of those of the Islamic faith as at least two out of the three then you are Islamophobic. The fact you are taking issue with the term doesn't make it any less applicable. Suck it up.
