If they have no intention of commiting acts of terror then why does it affect them?

maybe people don't want to be treated like criminals when they haven't committed any crimes?
speak to people in the arab community and their 'random selections' for screening when they travel internationally.
 
The sad thing is that Andrew Leigh used to be eminently sensible before he sold out all his principles so he could be parachuted into a safe Labor seat. Now he just parrots the Labor line on everything :(

Modern politics :drunk: ...please keep your opinion to yourself Mr Leigh, what could you know about social justice with a PhD analysing the economics of inequality.
 
I feel we try and look for differences in people but in reality we should be looking for the common ground. These extremists are no different to the roots of unions in Australia and just like unions you simply have to understand what they want and why they are supported.

Can you please clarify this because I'm struggling to even come up with a joke similarity between the formation of the Australian Union movement and Al-Qaeda.

extremists is just a point of view. I would have thought the English Colonies would have thought the Eureka stockade was just a bunch of extremists.

If "extremists" don't have a legitimate forum to express their concerns and redress of grievance, what choice do they have but to take up arms. Just like our early settlers did, just like the british did during their civil war and every other nation that had to spill blood to gain their rights.
 
Using the arsehole communists in Che shirts as an example of the left is like using Stormfront as an example of the right.

Except that arsehole communists in Che shirts are tolerated pretty much. You can see them walking around any university campus on any given day anywhere in Australia. Try the same thing wearing a Swastika and you would be arrested for disturbing the peace. Very much a double standard. The fact is that many on the left are still extremely sympathetic to communist and socialist groups.

Anyone who was known to have a past involved with fascism or neo-nazi organisations is a pariah in Australia. Yet many Labor and Greens politicians (including Julia Gillard and Lee Rhiannon) were overt communists in their youth, and nobody seems to care.

Leahy might be right. I went and saw Eliot Cohen speak these days and in his mind the 20th and 21st centuries have led us to believe that conflict is short, and has a defined start and end. A longer view of history shows this isn't the case.

Look at Judaism and the rest of the world. The Jews have fought a perennial war against the rest of the world for the past two thousand years.

Jews hate Christians. Nothing, NOTHING will stop the Jews from dismantling the Christian West, at ANY cost imaginable.

Not that it's very relevant but it is a point of interest, Israeli passport holders have even more trouble with international travel in Arabic nations, some won't even allow them in at all.

That's a bit of an understatement. Most Arabic nations won't let anyone in that has a stamp from Israel in their passport, let alone being an Israeli citizen. Malaysia or Indonesia do not allow Israelis either. Islam is a cancer.

They can choose who they want to come into the country and the manner in which they come.

I quite agree. And if Arab nations don't want to allow Western nationals in, that's fine by me too (though that won't happen, we have too much money)

People seem to forget that radical Islam has existed for centuries, hell its founder persecuted and executed those that didn't follow him. The West also forgets that this is a religion/culture that has attempted to invade Europe several times in the last few millennia. I can only imagine what would have happened had the Ottoman Empire not disintegrated as a result of WW1.

Islam as a religion is extremist in some ways. It is the secularisation of many of its' adherents that has prevented it from being more of a scourge.
 
Ugh, honestly the double standards of the left are laughable.

It's fine by you if Arab nations don't want to let Westerners into their countries, but what if USA/UK/Aus decided not to let people from Islamic countries in, you'd be up in arms and calling racist left, right and centre. Why is there any difference?

EDIT: I don't support that FWIW. You either open your borders (for travel) to everyone, or no-one (like N.Korea) not picking and choosing any races, religions or nationalities you like or don't like.

What are you on about? Please provide evidence that Jews are attempting to dismantle the Christian West at any cost imaginable?

All the Jews i know love this country. some dont drive on saturdays, most do. Many had grandparents that emigrated here after the war and are thankful to have been accepted and allowed to reside here in peace whether they practice their religion or not.

all repay that faith by successfully integrating into this country's way of life and embrace its culture, be it footy, beer BBQs or other. None spruik violence against other australians.

perhaps he meant that by a noticeable portion of jewish people being wealthy they were using this wealth to influence others?
