Quote:Whats this FD? - muslims must make the same illegal trip overseas to engage in the same head hacking against ISIS to prove how loyal they are to our freeedoms?
I congratulate you on another superb effort of reinterpretation Gandalf.
Quote:No they are not - unless you think the only demonstration that counts is travelling overseas to join a fight.
I did not say it is the only thing on the list. I said it was at the top. What speaks louder than flying half way round the world to risk your life in a minor war that has nothing to do with you, other than the religious link? A BBQ? A carefully worded press release? Eating corn flakes for breakfast?
Quote:There are close to half a million muslims who "demonstrate" where they stand by living peaceful, coexisting and law abiding lives
What does that actually demonstrate Gandalf? That most Muslims don't want to seek out death?
Quote:just like every other Australian that you don't scrutinise over how they are 'demonstrating where they stand'
Most Australians do not stand in ideological support of genocide. Most Australians do not speak the words freedom of speech like it is having your teeth pulled. Being a majority in a democracy, we demonstrate where we stand on a regular basis, and we are not shy about arguing over our differences in public, just in case anyone isn't sure. It is the demonstration by many Muslims in many different ways that they oppose Australian values that makes us scrutinise them. This is entirely justified. Insisting you are a 'normal' person or group of people, while refusing to talk about all the ways in which you are not normal, is not going to reassure anyone.
