Australian counterterrorism forces detained 15 people Thursday in a series of suburban raids after receiving intelligence that the Islamic State movement was planning public beheadings in two Australian cities to demonstrate its reach.

About 800 federal and state police officers raided more than a dozen properties across 12 Sydney suburbs as part of the operation -- the largest in Australian history, Australian Federal Police Deputy Commissioner Andrew Colvin told the Associated Press. A sword was removed as part of evidence at one of the homes.

I've seen videos yesterday produced by ISIS as some form of military PR, showing their determination to fight, what they're capable of.

If they want to demonstrate their reach, what better location than to behead people right here? What I don't understand about what they tried to do in Australia was 'public' beheadings as reported in the article. Public Beheadings? Like in some downtown location? In someone's backyard? It remains to be seen what they mean by 'public' beheadings. Whatever the case, beheadings are coming to the US in some form or another. It won't be a few posts before US beheading recommendations will be suggested by commenters, of the political kind.

Yeah, but what are they going to do with these 15 people? Let them go after giving them a stern warning??? These people should at the very least get deported from Australia (in body bags), along with their families.

For perspective...

Australia has a greater percentage of Muslims in relation to their population compared to the USA.

From Wikipedia:

Australia, with a population of about 22 million, has about 480,000 Muslims, or 2.2% of their population.

The following is a breakdown of the country of birth of Muslims in Australia from 2001:

Australia: 36%
Lebanon: 10%
Turkey: 8%
Afghanistan: 3.5%
Bosnia-Herzegovina: 3.5%
Pakistan: 3.2%
Indonesia: 2.9%
Iraq: 2.8%
Bangladesh: 2.7%
Iran: 2.3%
Fiji: 2.0%

On the other hand, Muslims are LESS THAN 1% of our population (about 0.8%).

There are 2.6 million Muslim adherents across our country in 2010.

You can bet the Muzzies have this planned for America too. Their U.S. “media” pals will blame it on “Muzziephobia”.

That’s exactly what needs to be done. Deport their families & seize all assets.

Yeah, but it’s like 9/11. There weren’t that many Muslims here then either but they still went after us because we’re the Great Satan. The same principle would work in this case as well, I think.

Only after they blame George Bush for creating muzziephobia. We all know there wasn’t any hatred towards the infidels before Bush attacked Iraq. (911 was an isolated event)

Let that happen on a street corner in Manhattan, or Chicago, or Poughkeepsie, and see how quickly our Fearless Leader turns into a bowl of quivering jello.

I am not even sure that would wake up the majority of sheeple in this country. It will be interesting to see the media pull a muscle trying to spin it.........

LOL. For these sex-maniacs, DECAPITUS INTURUPTUS is even more disruptive, interruptive than COITUS INTERRUPTUS and that’s with a goat.

My first thought was I bet those Aussies wish they had access to guns. With all the gun owners in Texas I doubt the Moslems would even try such a plan here.

People that are more than happy to blow themselves up aren’t worried about getting shot.

.
Whoopee!

Now assume that 99.9% of them are peeeeeeeeeaceful and only 0.1% is ISIS related — 2600 rampaging in all 50 states beheading people and making the videos available.

As one astute FReeper observed: 2600 active ISIS jihadists swimming in an ocean of 2,597,400 peaceful supporters.

AGAIN, for perspective....

Let's begin with the actual numbers: The Soufan Group, which conducted the most comprehensive study of the foreign fighters in the region, reports that over the last three years, about 12,000 fighters from 81 countries have joined the civil war in Syria, far more than went to Afghanistan.

Of these, around 2,500 to 3,000 are Westerners—some of whom are fighting for the Assad regime in Syria and some for rebel groups of which ISIS is only one. France, England and Germany, the biggest suppliers of European jihadis, have contributed about 700, 400, and 270 recruits, respectively.

And the United States? "Dozens (70+)," notes the study.

This works out to 0.00003 percent of the total American population and 0.004 percent of the American Muslim population. A much higher percentage of Americans upset with the "system" join violent gangs and political cults every year. Between 2000 and 2008, the United States birthed 298 new hate groups, four times more than the total number of American individuals who have gone jihadi.

There is nothing new about a small number of Americans bolting to join foreign armies fighting for anti-liberal causes. Over 2,800 Americans enlisted on the communist side in the Spanish Civil War, despite America's official policy of neutrality (because, as in many current conflicts, there were no clear good guys). What's more, in the first eight months of 1931, when Stalin's atrocities were approaching their zenith, more than 100,000 Americans applied to emigrate to the Soviet Union, several thousand of them successfully.

I'd say by sheer numbers alone, supporters of ISIS in America are quite PUNY.

Don't get me wrong, they are still dangerous... because all they have to do is to call on say, 10 armed suicide Jihadist to congregate around an unguarded elementary school in a suburb and hold children hostage (much like they did in Breslan ), or for double that number to wreck havoc in a shopping mall ( much like Al Shabab did in Kenya ) for the world to notice ( and believe me, that's EXACTLY what they want ).
