I should know better than to bother responding to anything NathanJ has to say but its hard to let his ridiculous conclusions go.

>>Too many people, particularly in well off western countries now seem to be singling out one religion (or anything seen to be connected with it). Why? Because its the flavor of the month. Governments get points from it.<<

Yes Nathan, the only reason people are expressing a concern about all of the terrorist attacks, the uncivilised brutal behaviour of ISIS, and worry over young Australian Muslims going overseas to join ISIS is because its the flavour of the month. Can you explain (or do you even know) what you mean by 'Governments getting points from it?'

"Philosophically and practically - we really to need get our brains back in order"... start with yourself!

Dear Banjo,

I don't think that we can make assumptions about
what "most Muslims," support because according to
surveys and stats - its only a small minority of
the Australian Muslim population
(judging from the given numbers) that are going overseas
to fight with the terrorists.

That is patently not true Foxy.

Just ask the police who have to deal with them. When my son was bashed by those 4 Muslim Leb thugs, he was told by the attending cops not to expect them to be able to do anything about it.

They said the total wall of protective silence in Muslim communities, even when it is their own being hurt by the thugs, make them almost impossible to police. Effectively they already have their own fiefdoms controlled by them, not us.

When asked about tracing the car they said the number when checked, was for a Ford, not a Holden, usual for many of these people, so no help.

Time to drop the rose coloured glasses little lady, your sympathy is entirely wasted.

Ah yes Sung Wu I agree.
How about the QLD act on Bikies.
How about a version for moslems ?

Foxy,
You are now changing the goal posts. I suggest you read the article you linked to again.

Glenn Mohammed was referring to muslims not admitting that Islam has serious problems. Muslims are quick to claim to be victims of government laws but fail to admit to large problems within Islam.

The only conclusion that non muslims can get from this is that most muslims either condone radical action or just accept it. No wonder Islam in general is being blamed for terrorism and anti social conduct.

Dear Hasbeen,

I don't have any sympathy for any criminals, thugs,
terrorists, fundamentalists, or any extremists,
no matter of what persuasion. And you should by
now know that. I'm sorry what happened to your
son as a result of thugs. My nephew was
also attacked in Lismore, when he came to the
aid of a girl student who was being harassed
by several thugs. My nephew was beaten so badly
that he ended up in a coma in hospital with the
end result - he had a plate put into his head -
and he's never been the same since.

Thugs will be thugs - and of course their behaviour
should not be tolerated. These thugs were not caught.
Or punished.
They can attack again - who knows. And, by the way -
they were young Aussie kids - not of the Muslim
faith. Many young people do bad things - and we need to
look at the causes of their behaviour - not blame
entire groups of people for the actions of these
few trouble makers in our midst.
