Is Malcolm Turnbul really that stupid to believe that screening Syrian and other refugees known to come from Muslim countries is the answer to avoiding terrorism?

It has little to do with the person who comes here as once they are they are able to be radicalised by extremist within and the pathetic part of it all is that they do so with our blessing as we support the likes of their mosques.

How is it that such high profile people , the likes of Turnbul can be so naive to think that screening them upon arrival is the answer to preventing terrorism.

He is either completely stupid, or his hands are so tied through political correctness that he cant see the obvious link between the free, unrestricted preaching s of Islam and terrorism.

I ask Mr Turnbul, was man Mannis screened?

Rehctub, I don't think any other PM or Government have agreed to allow any asylum seeker or refugee, or indeed any potential immigrant into Australia without screening, do you?
Anyone with a criminal record doesn't get in.
There is no way any Government can control what happens to these immigrants after they arrive either. That is just plain stupid to think they can.

Are we going to say to our Western friends, the Europeans, that they are on their own with the millions of refugees arriving in their countries?
How do you think that will go down, and what help would they then give us if say the Indonesians suddenly all took off in boats for our vastly open borders?

The PM is not stupid and knows we have to live with the rest of the world as well as Australia. If Abbott was such a star why was he chucked out by his own party?

Suze, the media is very clever at pulling peoples heart strings, as pretty much every time they show refugees they show picture of innocent little children, and they are just that, innocent.

But, once they arrive to the likes of Oz, they have all the tools they require should they choose the path of an extremist.

What we should be doing is shutting down all the mosques and intensify the monitoring of the internet and social media because if we just screen them upon arrival, then continue to provide the tools they require to become an extremist, then more fools are we.

Of cause there is no way all of these people turn to extremism, but, it only takes one to cause carnage.

Paris should be a wake up call and you can bet many countries will now close their borders.

As i have said before, WW111 has started, with the displacement of tens of millions, many if not most are Muslims.

Support them of you wish but dont cry wolf at a later date.

People like you may remain in denial, but dont say you have not been warned.

Really Rechtub it is the Australian public that is that stupid. They had a man who knew what was going on and had the guts to say it but allowed the regressives to topple him.

In Turnbull's case 'stupid' is the right word, if that stupid grin - he even put it on when his own party room sneered and jeered at him for his stupid remark about the Liberal party not being run by factions - is anything to go by. He actually thinks he is 'charming', as the loony Left media calls him. I'll just flash my whole-of-face smirk at the silly buggers, say 'it's all on the table', and I won't have to do a thing'.

Politicians have always been enemies of the Australian people, but Turnbull is the really big one. And that poor, weak sap, Abbott, covered up for him on The Bolt Report yesterday.

Politics in Australia is just a private club for stupid, self-serving people, looking for votes all the time - even from people who want to blow us up.

Butch,

As the Syrian refugees coming to Aus are coming directly from the camps in Turkey and Jordan, and are family units from minorities that are persecuted by ISIS, I think the risk is relatively low.
