Terrorist is not a synonym for Muslims. Terrorist come from all religions and all cultures. And past terrorist acts prove that. And if Australia was as democratic and freedom right activist as they claim then they would have let people believe what they want and follow whatever religion they want. Its quite absurd what they did!

I didn't know they did this. Good for them. I whole hearedly support the Aussies in this endeavor even if it means sacraficing some religous freedom. Yes to all those muslims who cry foul, if it was a Christian doctrine emphasizing the same, then ditto also.

We had some issues with a Radical Imam trying to get elected and spouting rhetoric about throwing out our constitution and imposing Sharia law. Hence this. Australia isn't the U.S. there is no pandering, we have our established values and you can live by them or leave.

I would also like to point out that Australia has escaped major terrorist attacks because we caught them BEFORE the event.

I think that's a good policy. |

Is there any reason to think that Australia would have been attacked by terrorists if they hadn't made this move? As some have pointed out, Australia isn't the U.S.

I think acryd was just saying that Australia hasn't f*cked over the middle east nearly as much as the United States have, so you guys are less of a target. You're still subject to terrorism because of your ties to US, but that's good you guys have been able to thwart any attacks.

They haven't experienced any major terrorist attacks because they're never had any bad blood with terrorist states, simple as that. What they did was actually inflammatory and dangerous.

Ever heard of Indonesia? You know students in Indonesia burn Aussie flags, not U.S. ones?

Wow, thanks for the clarification, Rhinox. That's really unnerving. Thank God the police were able to catch them before they carried out their plot.

Sharia Law is incompatible with established Australian (in this case) culture and values, if a person is a Muslim and wants to believe that Islam is a religion of peace then fine, but if not, f*ck off.

I personally believe if you live in a country you live by the rules of the country, even if you don't believe in them. If you don't like it, find somewhere else to live! If I went to a Muslim country I would be expected to follow certain rules like covering my head.

I doubt they left just because they told them to. That's like asking the kid who broke the lamp to come forward. It seems kind of authoritarian.

It's probably made them more at risk for attacks.
