An interesting point—does the world have these problems with Christian Lebanese? Same language, history, food, culture (except for one big thing).

Just because he has a neck beard does not necessarily mean he was doing this for Allah.

It could very well be that he was trying to deliver pizzas and was in a hurry when he received a text message decrying Trump’s move to Jerusalem, could be this poor little diddum was “upset” about that. You know how Muslims tend to be, VERY touchy...

Opium, inbreeding and Islam are the chief products of Afghanistan. So this statement is true, in a sense, but deliberately misleading.

The left will express more concern for “Islamophobia” than for the victims.

That ranks up there with those annoying “Hate has no home here” signs.

Looks like a publicity photo touting the new rolling stock with the older unit in the background. Note the 1970’s vintage RV air conditioning unit jimmied in there atop the cab.

Call it “the trolly” or “the tram.” Having “a train” requires a the capability to run variable-length consists of separable railcars. BART out here in the SF Bay Area would be an example.

Afghan nationals, one guy was filming from the passenger seat AND had three knives in a bag. I just wonder why they did it? I bet everybody but the government PR folks know exactly WHO did this and WHY.

Don’t know where you found that picture but it doesn’t match either man that was arrested

The driver was an Afghani

This is depressing. I did not know Australia was having this kind of issue which is commonplace here in the USA.

When I watched the linked video, I saw a lot of others of different incidents.

Here, we have a guy named Colin Flaherty who has written a few books on the epidemic of black mob violence (”Don’t Make The Black Kids Angry”) who also had a YouTube channel which linked with videos of the incidents he wrote about so you could see with your own eyes.

They keep taking his account down for speaking the truth.

Is this behavior somewhat wide spread in Australia, or is it limited to certain areas with high African immigrant population?

I have never heard of that kind of widespread behavior from Australian Aboriginals...I am correct in this assessment?
