Anyone watch that show last night with that Jenny sheilah & the young Muslim fanatic ?
Talk about fruitcake, this one has icing as well, what an indoctrinated silly young kid.
When asked about feeling any sort of connection with Australia he waffled on about how his loyalty lies in Syria. Well, why is he not deported this morning especially after warning that Australia has some troublesome time to look forward to from these indoctrinated mutts.
Can you believe they're homegrown here ? Thank you Labor.

Poirot: How would you like it if I said: "Christians are not the problem - it's the religion they follow that's the problem"?

You would probably get an "A bloody MEN" from most people.

The problem is that extremists and
fanatics don't follow their religious
teachings they either ignore the teachings,
or follow their own selective interpretations of
those teachings.

Fundamentalist revivals in
whatever religion, take place
in times when social changes have led to turmoil,
uncertainity, and the erosion of familiar values.
When people find themselves confused,
threatened, or even appalled at changing conditions.

Poirot, in runners case I don't think its particularly the religion thats the problem. Its and excuse for a very hate filled person to use rather than the cause in my view.

On the broader topic I think its a mix between socisl problems and religion providing a common rallying cry and a "higher authority" to hide behind to excuse behaviours that would be impossible to justify otherwise.

Yes, RObert,

That was my point.

Identify and singling out people by their religion - and then saying the religiously identified person is the problem but not the actual religion - doesn't make sense.

Seems it makes sense to a few around here, though.

To be expected I suppose : )

Yvonne, Of course there are moderate Muslims and “Muslim people are not all the same” Well, yes and no. The often quoted refrains “its only a few radicals” and “most Muslims are peaceful” only apply if we define “peaceful” to mean ‘not killers’. Yes, most Muslims don’t kill, but they accept the hate, discrimination, slander and violence in the Quran and they have no problem with the evil deeds of their dear prophet against innocent men women and children. The words “I am made victorious with terror” in the hadith do not bother them.

Take Muslims in Indonesia and Malaysia, for example, they accept the legal and social discrimination against nfidels. They do not speak out for freedom of conscience, speech or religion. They are typical Muslims; they are peaceful (mostly) but their values are not those of the West and Australia – that is why they are so easily manipulated and controlled by the radicals, who have the Quran and hadith on their side. Google “Birmingham schools UK and Trojan horse” to see how the average Muslim acts when he gets power over infidels. If they have to choose between our basic liberties, on one side, and the words of Allah and Mohammad, on the other, it is ‘adios’ freedom. That is why the word “Islamic” is basically interchangeable with “repressive”, at least in the 50plus countries considered Muslim. Do the math.

I also think it is safe to say that if the words written by a dozen or so people here in this post were spoken in a public square in Islamic societies, our heads would join those held by the little boy and his father in Syria. Oh yes, the barbaric doings of Boko Haram and ISIS are nothing more then those ordered by Allah in the Quran and practiced by Mohammad, per Islam’s own writings.

If you still believe that Muslims, in number, can live in peace with those “lower than animals” (ie, non-Muslims in case you haven’t read the Quran) then you need to wake up and smell the coffee, as they say.
