Hi Belly,

"Erdogan, while campaigning for local elections, presented the attack as part of an assault on Turkey and Islam and warned anti-Muslim Australians would be "sent back in coffins" like their grandfathers at Gallipoli - a blood-drenched WWI battle."

Me thinks this bloke is the Leader of the Turkish version of the Liberal Party. Doing badly in the polls and thought he would take a leaf out of Morrison's book and "kick the Aussie can" and hope its a vote winner.
As it has been reported on the ABC Morrison suggested to his mob that they should "kick the Muslim can" as a vote winner. Or maybe the Turk just reads the OLO Forum.

individual,

"So why are these weapons in the country in the first place then?"

They aren't, it's just that the media use "automatic" and "Assault rifle" as catchwords,

Issy, trying to dodge a bullet there old son, well lets just call them killing machines and be done with it. Agree? How are you going with the thumb and forefinger along with the bang, bang. Watch a few reruns of 'Gunsmoke'and you'll be right.

I have not been able to read the document he put on the internet.
It probably is evidence so it will have been removed.
Someone that has read it said that he is not far right winger but a moderate lefty.
It seems to be assumed that anyone like this killer has to be a right
wing white fanatic.
Why ?
Why can't you have left wing genocidal maniacs like Stalin, PolPot etc ?

Paul,

Just give us all the benefit of your wisdom and tell us how the murderer could have been stopped?

It's a simple question although Steele and Foxy are dodging it as well.

Maybe, if it's too hard, you could get together and formulate an answer.

I await the replies with bated breath.

Its all about deflection isn't it Bazz, Pol Pot, Stalin name whoever you like among the nastiest in history. Someone said, well blow me down, someone said, who said, another one of your fellow Islamophobs. This is about people like you who hold extremist opinions about ALL Muslims. Sure, in a population of 2 billion some are going to be bad guys, but all, but you claim all 2 billion are bad. Do you agree with Hanson, there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim.

Your out is, you don't condone violence, did you know Heinrich Himmler was physically sick after the one and only time he witnessed a Nazi death squad in action. Did that make him less culpable in the mass murder of 6 million innocent people? Me thinks not!
