Ariana Grande.
Eagles Of Death Metal.
Charlie Hebdo.
How the hell are they a result of local tension?
Agree, I laughed at that. What a joke. It has everything to do with a religion that at its core, supports violence
Youâre probably right.
Iâll get a hashtag going and change my facebook profile instead.

Not true, this is the sort of stuff that will make portions of the local Islamic population more aggressive.
Fwiw half my family would have been refused visa under his last suggestion, work ethic was fine but their ability to speak English still sucked 30years after arriving.
While your at it, can you change your BB password and forget it?

This post made far too much sense for this thread!
Well said.
Fair enough.
I get that.
I donât know if thatâs the case.
I donât know if the sort of man (and thereâs an assumption in this that Iâm entertaining but donât necessarily entirely agree with) who would, as you say, force his wife or daughter to wear a burqa is or has been shown to be linked to extemist activities.
For all I know, these men may be the very best and most productive of Muslims in Australia.
I donât know.
I could be swayed, but I want more.
I do think that it should be considered that such a move might be seen as an attack on all Muslims, even those who choose not to have the burqa in their lives themselves, and that might be inflammatory.

There really isnât.
Did the Islamic state send people to kill the eagles of death metal in the name of Alah?

That wasnât a point I was making in any way, but sure, if you want to argue like a ten year old: no are you, what am I?
The aim of Isis is establishing a political state.
With me?
In Iraq and Syria that means waging territorial warfare.
Over in England and France, theyâre clearly not fighting for territorial gains. Their aims are recruiting bodies, resourcing, and marketing - all towards establishing the state.
Youâre going to have a lot more luck recruiting people who are, by and large, not people in $100k jobs with wife and kids and captain of the footy team - itâs the loonies, the friendless, the people who have â â â â all to lose.
Hmmm. You actually seem to think that posting your â â â â â â manifesto on a footy forum is more of a statement than changing your Facebook picture.

The fasting is dawn to dusk. The being nice is for the month.
But please do keep goingâŚ
Again, the higher the Muslim population the higher the chance of this happening. If they arenât any Muslims here how can people in the name of Islam conduct such a war?
And clearly Muslim women canât think for themselvesâŚ

How about the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting? Omar Mateen felt so bad about his closet homosexuality, he shot up a gay nightclub (Pulse). Think he also conveniently yelled Islamic phrases as he did it. Islamic extremism was blamed. He was nothing more than a deranged criminal.

There are women who are forced to and women who do it voluntarily.
The ones that are forced to I feel desperately sorry for - the ones who wear it voluntarily can move to Saudi Arabia or wherever. They have no place in this country.
Ramadan is the month where all good deeds are rewarded. The Quran supports violence. Violence is a good deed in their eyes.
But then maybe theyâre angry because they didnât have a sandwich
This.
People conveniently ignore that most of these terror incidents have taken place where Muslims have been welcomed with open arms - and in most of these countries they get over and above the normal considerations. Refer Rotherham in the UK and Molenbeek in Belgium.
What the hell does a burqa have to do with a nut job going out a killing a bunch of people? It has absolutely no relevance to Terrorism.
I will just pop in here and add something to a possible discussion.
While Ramadan is about what you say, the reality on the ground is far different and has been since the original split between Shia and Sunni sects. Since that time both sides have often used that time to launch horrific attacks on each other. Even now it goes on but tends not be reported on.
