Our PM didn't help the situation when he described mere allegations as "brutal truths". An Ad Man who who can't even market himself. Not to be relied upon by the ADF or by the citizenry.

Now I’m going to take you to task Lego

As Donald Trump had little loyalty towards any political group, it’s unremarkable he arrived at a Republican President.

And since Christendom through the ages was bridled and led by a succession of unchristian brutal thugs called Popes, it’s also unremarkable that Islam sprang from a disagreement with its embryonic followers, and a Christian sect they disagreed with, in the sandy wastelands of the ME.

It’s good to remember before taking the high moral road to salvation, the West was won not by meekly pacifist Christian followers, but by Roman Catholic thugs in robes called Popes.
Remember, the earth was flat and the sun rotated around that flat earth.

Now I hope that puts the comparison between Islam and Christianity in a brighter light for you.

Dan.

BOZO, how easy it is to con those who think they are too smart to be conned. Reading and regurgitating lots of far right hate speak does not make you intelligent. I agree, extremists of all persuasions left, right whatever, present a danger to society, and Australian government security agents have identified your far right groups as being of particular danger. Add the "rightness" of religion to the mix of extremism and such a person or group becomes extremely dangerous to the point that they may act. However that's not to say the vast majority of religious adherents, be they Muslim, Christian or Jewish present any real danger to society. By your thinking all Muslims should be persecuted for their religion, and/or for the actions of a small minority within that religion. Islam has been in Europe for about 1200 years.

Can you help poor old ttbn, he wants to know if you are the promised Messiah from the far right? His last Messiah, Corny Banana, short changed the poor old sod, and left him out in the cold. He plays the part of the sycophant perfectly. He'll make your tea, shine your boots, wipe your....he'll do anything to please.

Dan,

You seem to be overlooking that everyone was vicous in the days you speak of, but the Muslims have remained that way while Christians have not.

WHY ISN'T RUSSIA CONSIDERED A PROBLEM UNDER TRUMP?

The glaring absence, under Trump, in considering Russia a major power vacuum threat

(eg. in the Middle East/Afghanistan) will need to be addressed by Biden.

- with a major strain on the US's AND (its follower) AUSTRALIA's limited Defense Budget

and manpower.

This is in addition to the high profile China strategic threat.

A boost/return in Australian Special Forces numbers in Afghanistan and Iraq is likely in 2021.

MEANWHILE

The Brereton Report's Political DISTANCING of the CDF and ARMY HIGH COMMAND from RESPONSIBILITY for

Special Forces presence and actions in Afghanistan will complicate the Mid-East/Afgh deployments

and continue to lead to high VETERAN SUICIDES.
