Australian celebrities have an excellent voice and can STOP terrorism.

So why aren't Australian celebrities like Shane Warne, Guy Sebastian, Kylie Minogue, Elle McPherson, Ian Thorpe and Delta Goodrem doing more to get young people away from terrorism and extremist groups?

There are also bands aimed at young people and you can hear music at: http://www.theguardian.com/culture/australia-culture-blog/2014/jan/02/ten-australian-bands-to-watch-in-2014 which WILL turn young people's minds OFF terrorism.

Young people, in particular and others in Australia are NOT going to listen to Prime Minister Tony Abbott, but they will take celebrities 100% on board.

Nathan J,
How quaint, you think Lebanese and Afghan boys listen to Kylie Minogue and Guy Sebastian or would take on board anything said by a raving homo like Ian Thorpe or a Hollywood whore like Delta Goodrem.
Hey maybe you could recruit "Hektik" LOL:

Lebbo "youths" listen to "doof", gangster rap and Lebanese pop and they watch Lebanese TV on sattelite, Salafists don't listen to music or watch TV at all.
These are the idols of "Western Oriental" youths:

When ISIS are producing recruiting videos this cool nothing in the peurile Western anti-culture is going to even be noticed by potential mujahideen.

Dear Nathan,

Your suggestion of young Muslims being influenced
by famous people in Australia is not a bad one.

However I think
that a greater impact would be made if the advice given
to them came from their fellow Muslims -
who have made an enormous contribution to society
in this country through their professional careers -
which according to the link given below ranges from
sport to the military, politics and the top of the
corporate ladder.

There's 15 listed in all beginning with
Ahmed Fahour - Managing Director and CEO of Australia
Post, Executive Chairman of Startrack, and the Director of
the Carlton Football Club. He was also CEO of the Australian
operations of the National Australia Bank - 2004 - 2009.
He was born in Lebanon.

And there in lies the problem Foxy and Nathan, young lebs don't listen to their so called leaders.

Where young reckless Aussies, of all nationalities, want to get pissed and fight each other, or get stoned and vege out, young lebs who go off the rails want to inflict mass pain and suffering and insil maximum fear.

This is why Muslimisum is a failure. Not multiculturalism, just Muslimisim and it has happened everywhere they have gone to.

What more evidence do we need?

Foxy,
Yes, being raised Muslim then abandoning the faith to pursue other interests doesn't appear to be a handicap for the minority of intelligent people to be found in the Muslim world.
What about the majority of Muslims who are as dumb as a rock, illiterate and unreasonable by nature, fundamentalist Islam was designed to keep these chickenheads under control, why not go with what works?

All the group hugs and kumbaiya in the world won't change a Muslim youth's viewpoint once they've seen the light of extremism.

Offering free one way airfares to Syria in exchange for a cancelled Australian passport on departure (and cancelled citizenship) is my first option for dealing with the dysfunctional Muslim youth. Get them as far away from Australia as possible.
