Cultured reason meaningless response in face of death cult

THE brutal nihilism of Islamist terrorism is a difficult concept for most of us to understand, but comprehend it we must.

.....

Nothing underlined the denial and delusion of the political class more than the statement by the Australian Press Council chairman Julian Disney chastising media coverage of what he called the “Sydney hostage incident”.

He was reacting to complaints about News Corp Australia’s Daily Telegraph and its special Monday afternoon edition linking the attack to Islamic State under the headline “Death cult CBD attack”.

The perpetrator of this atrocity defined himself by Islamism; a self-styled Shia cleric, he objected to military action against the ­Taliban and was prosecuted for sending sickening letters to the families of Australian soldiers killed in Afghanistan. He faced charges relating to sex offences and his former partner’s murder.

He was clearly unstable and recently declared himself Sunni, supportive of “Team Islam” and a loyalist of Islamic State.

Holding 17 people at gunpoint in Martin Place (a location recommended by Islamic State) and claiming to have bombs, he unfurled a jihadist banner, demanded an Islamic State flag, declared his attack was one by Islamic State against Australia and demanded to speak to the Prime Minister. He shut down a city, terrorised a nation and ensured two innocent people were killed.

Yet via Twitter the ABC’s Green said the “connection” to the death cult was all “made up”.

Disney claims there were some “deeply regrettable ­errors and exaggerations, spreading dangerous misinformation” in the media coverage. Perhaps he was referring to ABC profiles of the gunman that failed to mention Islam, Muslim or Islamic State and denied links to terrorism. But we fear not. Green, Disney and their ilk suggest the real threat comes from bigots in an anti-­Muslim backlash.

Too much analysis and introspective chin scratching. Muslims are dangerous. It can be proved statistically. To remove the danger, you remove the threat. If your home is infested with venomous snakes, your chances of being bit go up drastically. The obvious solution is to eradicate the snakes.

A Leftist, on the other hand, will take out a student loan and get a degree in herpetology! /s;)

I posted yesterday, in response to some enlightened Muslim’s criticism of the attack in Pakistan as “meaningless”, that in fact the attack wasn’t meaningless at all. The fanatics are destroying their future opposition, and that is the meaning people should take from the attacks. They are done with a goal in mind, and they are slowly reaching their goal; ask any Lebanese Christian.
