The yanks are certainly a worry, more so since our dumbcluck elected officials have an insatiable wont to join any conflabs initiated by the self-appointed intergalactic police. There is no doubt that willingness to chuck rocks (and whatever) at those who choose to wear tea-towels on their heads hasn't exactly endeared either the septic-tanks or Australians to those prophet-following folk. Total military withdrawal from all islamic countries would do far more to enhance peace than any amount of political mumbo-jumbo doublespeak. All that aside, I'm totally anti ANY islamic migration here, any that is allowed should be under EXTREMELY stringent conditions.

Poirot,
The 1000 deaths in April were not all from Iraq, but all were carried out in the name of Allah. From another source that keeps tabs on such, terrorist attacks April 202, deaths 957,criticly injured 2403 This was over 25 countries.

There have been 21000 terrorist attacks by muslims since 9/11.

All muslim immigration should be stopped in the interests of containing violence in the community here. Take the Sunnis verses Shites violence over the Syrian civil war as an example. Islam does not allow integration into other societies.

Banjo - Islam does not allow integration into other societies.

Quite true, unfortunately the do-gooder tribe never bothered to read islam 101

The shia - sunni disagreements are only the tip of the iceberg. We've already seen preliminary altercations in Sydney between those relatively moderate sects and the extremist wahabbi mob. When, as is inevitable, the sects unite, we'll have the forerunner of World War 3 on our doorstep.

Banjo and Prax,

These 3,000 deaths were carried out in the name of Western imperialism.

(Note the term "other" applies to any Pakistani male aged between 15 and 40 - irregardless of whether that person is a combatant or not)

3,121 deaths - taking out 48 high-profile combatants. 535 civilian deaths. 175 child deaths. 2363 "other" deaths.

I note they're not included in your tally of terrorist atrocities.

Oh yeah, - remote control murder of innocents carried out by the US doesn't count

I'm not aware that I've ever condoned yankee imperialism, in fact that mob of lunatics has consistently been second on my list of utterly irresponsible nations. The septic tanks are the reason Australia has been coerced into stupid conflicts that don't concern us & why this country is a target for fanatics wont to wear tea-towels on their heads (mind you if we had elected officials who exhibited anything remotely approximating intelligence it might be different)

We all could benefit from an understanding how dispute ending works.
It never can, if we continue to side step the issue as it currently is.
Going back to a past event, while ignoring a history preceding that event, is a sure way to not change anything.
A very longtime before America and the coalition of the willing, invaded Iraq Sunni killed Shiite.
If we want to make a case, we can name Britain for these troubles.
But we avoid the very heart and reason, for the murders.
And in doing so avoid any chance we can help fix it.
If I say it, racism will be the charge leveled against me.
But truth can carry that brand.
So a growing understanding *SOME* Muslims are uneducated.
SOME have no idea about the west or the good done by them,only the bad.
I will never understand, never, why the left only sees bad in us of the west,and only good in this home of so much hate, religion.
If this religion did not exist nor would these terrorist acts.
But education, lack of it plays a roll.
