Getting bad when we are not safe in the streets.

LS the reality is that domestic violence is a far greater risk in Australia.

Also, we should be grateful for our gun laws.

Wtf has domestic violence got to do with Fridays terrorist incident? Ans = a big fat Zero!
Please don't do the typical extreme left deflection from the issue at hand

SD it provides context. The fact is that in Australia incidents of domestic violence are vastly more prevalent than acts of terrorism. They are not mutually exclusive. I will again repeat that vilifying all people of the Islamic faith is counter-productive and any acts of terrorism should not be used for base, political purposes.

Violence on behalf of religious or political ideology or belief is abhorrent.

The fact is tho' the incidence albeit not acceptable on any level is quite low.

I am more worried abt being assaulted by drunks, twats who just look for violence and gangs of not just youths but those who are members of so called bikie gangs (drug cartels are a better nom de plume).

And scoring political points is what the likes of Anne Aly tried to do with her pathetic statement on Saturday whilst the victim hasnt turned cold yet, made me want to vomit! There is ZERO relevance in her mentioning domestic violence end of discussion! Its a seperate issue

For not the first time: it provides context. The facts are that domestic violence is far more prevalent in Australia than acts of terrorism. As for "the victim hasnt (sic) turned cold yet"; surely that applies to Messrs Morrison and Dutton.

We have been down this path before: WMDs; "Children overboard".

As normal, Sean has hi-jacked the topic for his own Ideological gratification, so I'll get back to the subject. This was an atrocity that we Aussies will possibly have to get used to in the future - so sad for our future families. It was good however, to see people and Police get behind the homeless "trolleyman".

Personally I think Perth's premiership and finals drought trumps any terrorism threat and rates of domestic violence. Just thought I'd add another pathetic comment to an otherwise serious topic.

Absolute crap 58s - don't let the facts get in the way of a good story. No-one had responded to the original post before I posted mine.

From what I have read it appears that the person who perpetrated the violence had not visited a mosque for many years. It appears that he had had no interaction with an iman recently either. There appears to be indications that there may have been mental health problems rather than a link to Islam.

And when you did respond to the original post, it was with your usual red herring crap. Just because he didn’t visit a mosque recently, doesn’t mean it wasn’t another religious maniac. I don’t know if he was and you certainly don’t either. But don’t you let a chance to start an argument go by!!!

Maybe you should read what Morrison has had to say in the context that the person hadn't visited a mosque apparently for many years:

If your going to bring other unrelated issues into the discussion for "context", why dont we just look at the atrocities and number of people killed daily in the middle east If you look at those facts then nothing that happens here in Australia is even comparable, domestic violence included.

Islam works really well in western society, just check out England.
