If they start this in the US... well, we still have the Second Amendment and a lot of states with concealed carry laws.

One can also imagine radicals propagandizing counterterror operations into evidence of anti-Muslim bigotry...

I think most people are fed up with the cries of anti-muslim bigotry.

It’s NOT bigoted to be against the seditious tenets of Islam and its followers.

This problem is EASY to solve.

Every law abiding citizen should arm himself.
And the law of the land should condone citizen defense against terrorism.

Young, angry, armed men...out to kill.
They kill the tourist industry too. The near and middle east rely on foreign dollars and euros to survive.

These men are killing off the ONE industry that consistently brings in cold, hard CASH. They are young, angry, armed MORONS.

The Hizb ut Tahrir terrorist supporters started public protests in Sydney with exactly that message, within the day. Of course the media gave them prominent coverage while failing to properly identify them as anything other than concerned community leaders.

Meanwhile, two senators are being dragged through the mud for daring to voice their support for banning burkas.

The islamists will eventually force our hand, and it isn’t going to work out well for the 1 billion muslims world wide. It is true that we have a segment of the population that is very liberal and appeasement driven, but if you put the screws to them, that number will drop to insignificant in no time flat. I can’t see too many libs preaching appeasement if they conduct a few head lopings over here. Very sad to say, but maybe thats exactly what we need to happen. A bullhorn loud wake up call right in their ear. If the barbarians push it too far, the libs will set the mosks alight themselves.

So long as there is one Muslim left alive, there is a significant chance that Muslim will go “Full Muslim” and cut off some innocent person’s head.

The Koran commands that Muslim to so do.

The Koran is the source of Koranimals.

Wipe Islam off the face of the earth before they kill us.

It’s less likely to happen here thanks to the amount of guns owned by average citizens. If I see a couple of weirdos grab an American soldier on my street (highly unlikely) and start cutting his head off (like Lee Rigby in Britain), I’m grabbing my .357 and blasting them. What are the mostly unarmed citizens of those progressive, gun-hating European countries going to do? Nothing, just like they did nothing for Lee Rigby.

Post FBI agents in every mosque. Monitor muslim TV and radio stations. Arrest citizen muslim citizens found inciting violence & immediately deport muslim immigrants guilty of inciting violence.

“If they start this in the US... well, we still have the Second Amendment and a lot of states with concealed carry laws.”.....

While I DO like the Second Amendment and Concealed Carry laws, they will not be of much help AFTER THE FACT. Trying to detect a terrorist BEFORE he/she sets off their bombs or whatever they planned to do is extremely difficult. Which one do you shoot, the kid wearing a camo jacket or the guy wearing a business suit, the woman with a burka or the mother with little kids in tow? The decision could turn out to be totally wrong. Killing a terrorist AFTER he has already killed someone would still be a good idea, IF YOU CAN CATCH THEM QUICKLY.

We've been hearing for months that the Islamic State is brilliant at social media. The terror group can reach out to supporters, sympathizers and assassins all around the world with a single tweet, Facebook post or YouTube video.

"Brilliant at social media....a single Tweet, Facebook post or YouTube video."

You mean "Brilliant", like The Kardashians, Lady Gaga or Pamela Anderson?

WARNING TO JIHADIS: AVOID TENNESSEE!
Or Georgia or Alabama or Texas — especially in TEXAS (except for that circle of leftist weenies around Austin) — or anywhere in the SOUTH. If these murderous thugs are looking for soft targets, they should head to NYC, Chicago, LA, Boston, etc. where no/low info voters have been effectively disarmed by the “progressive” idiots they elected to “lead” them (to hell).

And if you jihadis forgot your official beheading blades or couldn’t get them through the border (yeah, like THAT would happen!) obama is considering a federally subsidized “Rent-a-Blade” program or many of those tolerance and diversity dorks up there will be more than happy to loan you a quality pocket knife!

Likely, they will start in states like New York and New Jersey and Illinois. Not in the urban criminal housing areas, of course.
Too many guns there.

"He wasn't pleased with living in Australian society and wanted to live in an Islamic society away from open alcoholism, homosexuality, fornication, drugs and capitalism."

Hey, I've got a novel idea.

These people aren't genuine Australians - or even Americans or Europeans. They just pretend they are and the governments go along with the charade for PC reasons. Why not just revoke their citizenships and send them packing back to Muzzie-Land where they will be "happy" and can murder to their heart's content?

Oh, wait. Ted Cruz has already tried to do that and it was shot down by the Democrats. Never mind. Carry on with the usual Muslim murder and mayhem.

“Wipe Islam off the face of the earth before they kill us.”

I can’t say that I disagree with you but that sentiment puts us in the same boat with Hitler. I’m not very comfortable with that but when I consider the options I fail to see a viable alternative.

God help us.
