Not violence, but your direct response to the story about my workmate was "Well, they have to expect their presence causes anxiety" which struck me as grossly unfair.

You forgot the biggest anxiety inducing factor of them all.....The missus.
1. Like bombing & murdering thousands of innocent civilians in 7 different Muslim countries?
2. You mean, like the response to the raping & pillaging of the Middle East?
That Australia Post Fahour guy said it's understandable. Caused me to do a re-assessment.
Well I personally think if someone gobs off and intimidates a random woman because he's apparently worried she might be a suicide bomber (or in some way responsible for a bombing on the other side of the planet) then he's either a coward, bully or idiot. I don't think that behaviour is understandable and I don't think it should be condoned, tacitly or outright. We're all responsible for our own reactions to incidents and situations like this and those who allow their base fear to turn them into racists or bullies reveal that they probably weren't much chop as a person in the first place.

Anyone with a long beard and shaven upper lip would be a start from my experience. That is my first sign of suspicion. No quite a tattoo on the forehead but it's a good start
I don't support it, but we haven't really been hit in Australia yet. The threat is just unacceptable, I can't believe anyone would suggest "we just have to live with it". I would support almost any measure to keep it out. Australians on the whole are an apathetic lot and many don't really understand what we're up against.
Security to attend a football match... the diggers would be rolling in their graves. They would ask, "How did you let it come to this?"
I bet the same morons said about Rudds 'sorry speech' something like 'why should I/we be sorry for something nothing to do with us' with equal venom

It's been established that plenty of them didn't know much about anything.
They knew none of us would be here if the Japs won.

Why do you want to ban muslims?
Well, as long as Trump continues to sell weapons to countries like Saudi Arabia, that thrive on creating further turmoil in the region (and have even aided terrorism in the past), thus perpetuating the refugee crisis, whilst simultaneously making it that much harder for people to escape said turmoil, we'll end up with an even worse mess.

so you answer the question with a question of your own?
Cmon what does Australia miss out on if we put a temporary ban on Muslims from the Middle East? What are the negatives this would have on Australia? Anyone?

What's the purpose of banning muslims from Australia?
As long as elements of the west continue to perpetuate the unrest in the Middle East and then box people in with broad, over-arching policies, we will make it easier for IS to target and radicalise the vulnerable. That will only increase the likelihood of attacks.

We're good mates with the yanks.....So helping them out of this ginormous mess of their own creation, allows them to evacuate all the future oil-wells, all the quicker.
