Quite amazing how ISIS has formed enemies everywhere. Apart from a few small terrorist groups it has no alliances with anyone. Not even Al-Qaeda endorses them  |
LOL - The ISIS pamphlet How to Create Enemies and Piss People Off coming to a remote terror training camp near you! Dale Carnegie eat your heart out!

| Quote: | A woman had her head slammed into a train carriage and was racially abused during an alleged attack at a railway station at Coburg North, in Melbourne's north.
Police said the 26-year-old victim was standing near the doors on the Upfield line train as it was approaching Batman station at 7pm on Thursday September 25 when another woman came towards her and started making racial comments.
She then grabbed the woman by the hair and neck, and repeatedly pushed her head into the wall of the carriage. |
Police not saying anything about the ethnic/religious identity of the victim, but I'll give you a couple of clues: 1) It was in Coburg, and 2) police are not saying anything about the identity of the victim.
Opportunistic terrorism scares have consequences. How much more of this stuff will we have to put up with?

I agree, someone should blow Coburg up.

I'm confused, what's your point? The ethnicity of the victim and the attacker were both made clear in other media, does it bother you that the ABC is covering it up?

And in the meantime, I give you 'Islamic State - the sitcom".
| Quote: | Baghdad: Reclining on a gold-rimmed purple sofa, the leader of the Islamic State extremist group mulls his social-media strategy as an over-affectionate sword-wielding dwarf looks on.
Here's the town drunk, who has become a zealous follower of the Islamic State, beating those who consume alcohol — though he still drinks in secret himself.
And there's the shop owner who is informed that vegetables with names in the Arabic language that are female in gender can't mix with those of the male gender.
That's right, a new weapon has been unleashed in this country devastated by Islamist militant violence — comedy.

Hi ASIO, she was joking or at least I think she was. |

Well said, Ali. Australia is not perfect (and I'm not too sure about his belief that Australia is an "equal" society), but it's a lot better than those parts of the world that cannot effectively separate religion and the state, or that have no secure tradition of pluralism, democracy and freedom.

Not to mention also a lot better than those moronic Western countries which have let their wealth gaps blow out because they've fallen hook, line and sinker for the fanatical Murdoch/George W. Abbott socio-economic lies.

No argument there if you mean that you prefer Australian society to the US. So do I, and probably for similar reasons.
If you do mean the US though, can you see any potential for nuance in the fact that this "moronic" country elected (twice) an intellectual, thoughtful black President who's been introducing universal health care ? Is it possible that your demonology in this area is a bit simplistic ?

As explained in the other thread, if you can call an abstract entity like a country or a giant red dragon or a new world order or a global warming conspiracy "authoritarian", or even anything at all, you can also call it "moronic", especially if it elected George W. Bush twice

Can't argue with the last bit either. The "worst President in Us history" trophy is bolted into a cabinet in Crawford, and I hope it's safe there for a century.... Looks a good bet.
