Let's see the usual apologists come out and give us long winded rants on why we are to blame for the behaviour of these morons. |

Yes, I knew it wouldn't take long for the King of the Usual Apologists to respond.
So easy, so predictable.

Yep, the No. 1 apologist.
How is it that I am the son and grandson of Immigrants and I don't have a special kind hate for this country. Is that because my family came to Australia when you were expected to assimilate and work for everything that you want. Is it because my family told us to be thankful for the opportunities that we have here, and that in Australia if you want something all you have to do is work hard for it.
I respect my heritage, but I am first and foremost Australian. There is nothing like when you have been overseas on holiday,like coming home. This is home and I could think of nowhere else in the world better to be.
Maybe the families of these kids aren't setting a good example, and they hate this country just as much as their sons do. The question then needs to be asked why are you here. |

From The Age:
"We have acted swiftly to disrupt an attack intended to bring harm to everyday Victorians going about their business," acting Deputy Commissioner Patton said.
As I said, the religion of peace!!
"At this stage we have no information there was a planned beheading," AFP acting Deputy Commissioner Neil Gaughan said.
Gee, that's comforting, isn't it?

Why focus on this instead of them? Simple. Seen any examples of those other situations lately?
The catholics v protestants back in ireland wasn't actually religious anyway, as Morrigu explained.
There's plenty of people who consider themselves Muslim and manage to fit in to western society just fine. I feel sorry for them because the basics of their religion just doesn't play well with others.
I like that Australia is a multicultural and tolerant society. Fundamentalist Christianity has a very weak grip here compared to the USA, we're just not a religious lot.
Now the potential weakness and strength of Islam is the same thing, it doesn't have organised churches and a structure like the major Christian ones. Anyone can pretty much call himself a preacher and open up shop. So what we actually need is to get the Muslim population in Australia to reject the fundamentalist nutjobs and go with the moderate ones. If that happens, all will be fine and everyone will coexist.
