ttbn,

Once you say "Islam caused Bondi," you've abandoned individual responsibility in favour of collective guilt. At that point, no amount of condemnation, cooperation, or reform by Muslim organisations could ever be sufficient, because the problem has been defined as their existence, not specific conduct.

That's not a security argument. It's a civilisational one.

If the test is whether a religion produces violent extremists, then consistency demands we apply it to all religions and political movements. There's no shortage of examples of this throughout history. If the test is whether institutions actively enable or conceal violence, then only evidence matters. Identity alone tells us squat.

Liberal democracies are built on a simple principle: people are judged by what they do, not by what they are assumed to believe. Abandon that, and you don't end up safer. Quite the opposite, in fact, because now you've just normalised suspicion as policy.

It's possible to confront Islamist extremism without dissolving the distinction between criminals and communities, you know. The moment we start doing that, the social contract everyone here claims to care about is already gone.

ttbn, people with your way of thinking terrify me! Are you a terrorist?

Interesting, declare all Muslims terrorists until they prove themselves otherwise. And how do they do that? Get the Muslims to swear on a stack of Bibles?

Well, it's much easier for them to call us racists just for trying to prevent their rhetoric from being realised !

Any culture that doesn't protect itself is doomed. I think Albanese's policy is racist and bigoted, because it replaces Anglo-Celtic Australian people. Every ethnic culture needs their own nation. Multiculturalism was a failed philosophy forced on Western and European nations to destroy them in my view- it's time the legislators looked after the interests of Anglo-Celtic people. Australia is not a Muslim nation it is an Anglo-Celtic Christian derived nation. As others say if Australia is for everyone it is for no one.

Kudos Kid,

You say; "I think Albanese's policy is racist and bigoted, because it replaces Anglo-Celtic Australian people." Where is anyone being "replaced"? The truth is the native population with its low birth rate is ageing nd deskilling, and without younger migrants, living standards will decline over time. You simply can't accept good people who are different to you, you sir are the white supremacist, who is bigoted and racists! Of course migration has to be controlled and managed, and that is what good governments do. Migration is not perfect, not all migrants fit the "good" description, and that was the case under the White Australia policy, and it is the same today. The fact is migrants have less criminality within their ranks than the native born population. What do you say to that?

I might be to easy going, but I've never had any great problems with migrant folk, and I have met many, no more problems than some native born people I have known, you don't have to be born overseas to be a wombat. BTW, a new Vietnamese restaurant has opened up in our area, what a lovely couple mum and dad are, the kids have settled into school well, and they are working hard to make a go of it. What do you want pho soup out and meat pies in? hummm!

For the record here are the terrorist Organisation banned in Australia (but still here in spirit)
