Joe (Loudmouth),

I don't think that anyone on this forum advocates
violence no matter who it comes from.
Most thinking people are
against the generalisations that occur
and the unnecessary labelling of people.

My point was that blame should not be assigned to only
"Left-Wing" groups when you have members of the far-right
groups who are also threatening political violence.

As for your reference to immams. Previous and subsequent
statements have been issued by the Islamic Council of
Australia condemning terrorist acts and other forms of
violence committed here and overseas. You can fact-check
this on the web if you're interested. This is common
knowledge.

So Foxy, now you will be needing to bury this with some googled trivia,

<Behind the left-wing Antifa movement that attacked Andrew Bolt

A broad-daylight brawl between commentator Andrew Bolt and apparent members of the anti-fascist "Antifa" movement have raised concerns about the safety of high-profile conservatives, particularly in Melbourne.

New footage reveals sheer violence of Andrew Bolt attack
The News Corp columnist and Sky News host fought back fiercely, landing kicks and punches on his assailants until they disbanded, while an unknown onlooker shouted: "What are you doing?" and "Go away".

Bolt and other commentators told Fairfax Media they feared conservatives faced an increasing threat to their safety from far-left activists, especially in the Victorian capital.

"It is ridiculous how dangerous it is for conservatives in this town to speak out," Bolt said. "The right to free speech has to be better protected – everywhere but particularly in Melbourne."

Troy Whitford, history and politics lecturer at Charles Sturt University, said political violence in Melbourne was "nothing new" but it had been a long time since violence from the far-left had been as prominent.
..
Antifa takes its inspiration from the German Antifaschistische Aktion network that arose prior to World War II. Dr Whitford described the Australian version as a loosely-assembled "reactionary group" that seeks to combat the alternative-right, with a particular focus on defending multiculturalism, anti-racism and feminism.

"They're basically taking on that very militant approach to fostering left-wing, progressive views," he said. "If you don't subscribe to them, they kick you in the head. Anti-fascism is what they go under but they're actually practising fascist techniques.">

Foxy,

Surely you're not so naïve as to fall for those mealy-mouthed and carefully-worded statements in relation to Islamist terrorism ? Strange, they always go only so far, and - to the faithful - the statements that they make are probably quite ambiguous, deliberately so, since they are talking to two audiences, out of both sides of their mouths. Tekkiah to the max.

Joe

Yes, Joe. Every time a Muslim spokesperson makes a statement, you have to think 'taqiyya'. When under pressure, Muslims are encouraged to lie. It's all part of the Islam that people shy away from familiarising themselves with.

Foxy,

With the greatest respect to you, of course you are going to get 'backup

Foxy,

I always get excited when I'm addressing you, and I prematurely hit the enter key before I had finished.

What I would have said is, that you will always get ammunition to disagree with me from the Lefty ABC and New Matilda, etc: so it's not going to make any impression on me. I am happy with your own opinions and points of view, and I respect your airing of them. I do not, however, respect the ABC or New Matilda or the Left press. Besides, every time I open a reference (Left or Right origin) I get kicked out back to my desktop and have to start again, which makes me swear a lot.
