Australian muslims are the largest per capita terror supporters

You’ll Never Guess Which Country Is the Biggest Per Capita Contributor of Foreign Jihadists to ISIS

It isn't in the Middle East or Central Asia or even in Europe. It's Down Under

A startling number of Australian citizens and residents have left the country to join jihadist factions in the ongoing crises in the Middle East, prompting the Australian government to launch a statewide effort to crack down on “home-grown terrorism” fostered within its borders

“This is one of the most disturbing developments in our domestic security in quite some time,” Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop told the Australian Broadcasting Service. “There’s a real danger that these extremists also come back home as trained terrorists and pose a threat to our security.”

Authorities believe that around 150 Australians are currently fighting alongside ISIS in Iraq and Syria, making the country the highest foreign per capita contributor to the violence. Many more have left the country for the Middle East in recent weeks, though their intent in doing so has not yet been determined.

“We will do everything we humanly can to stop jihadist terrorists coming into this country and if they do return to this country, we will do everything we reasonably can to ensure that they are not moving amongst the Australian community,” Prime Minister Tony Abbott told the Australian press on Monday


Abbott’s government has thus far canceled a number of passports held by those Australians who have joined the conflict, and is working to fortify a border security system that has a history of being more permeable than desired. It was a “customs failure” last year that permitted convicted terrorist Khaled Sharrouf to escape the country with his brother’s passport and head to Syria and then Iraq, where he has had a hand in the recent mass executions of Iraqi soldiers.

As for the suspected or confirmed terrorists still at large within the Australian borders, the government has mulled over the idea of providing national intelligence agencies greater access to the country’s internet traffic — a potentially controversial move, considering the outcry over the government’s mobile data surveillance plan in 2012.


This is not the first time that Australia has taken note of the extremist diaspora out of the country. Last summer, TIME reported that over 200 Australians had joined militant groups fighting to unseat Syrian President Bashar Assad in the country’s ongoing civil war, and that Australian counterterrorism operatives had consequently begun collecting evidence against suspected combatants.

Still, the exodus persists, from Australia and elsewhere: the Economist reported earlier this month that as many as 3,000 foreigners may have joined ISIS forces. The organization and its satellite groups seem intent on making their chaos an international issue, actively soliciting support from Muslims across the world.

In a 13-minute propagandist recruitment video released last week, purported ISIS extremists stated that their fellow jihadists in Iraq and Syria hailed from countries as far afield as Bangladesh and even Cambodia, although some Cambodian officials have disputed the claim.

What is the "Australian Broadcasting Service"?  Moses, they can't even get the name of the ABC right, why should we believe the accuracy of anything else they report?   

"Lies, damned lies and statistics".  Typical sensationalist reporting.  A small population contributes a moderately sized (in real terms) sample and it is a greater proportion than from a large population.   Australian Muslims are a drop in the ocean compared to European Muslims Moses, who have gone to join ISIS.

You still haven't explained by we should believe this inaccurate, sensationalised report.   

Last month there was 90 aussies overseas fighting, yesterday was 400, today there is 150.

Government just plucking numbers out of the air, and are including any aussie who they may think are in syria and iraq, and are putting humanitarian workers in the same category as ISIS fighters.

Yes.  Do you know why they use percentages and "per capita" rather than real numbers?  It's create alarmism.   

The above report is just 7 months old, today the figures are:

UP to 400 Australians are now estimated to be either fighting for Islamic State terrorists in the Middle East or actively supporting their cause here at home,


Julie Bishop flags longer war as 400 Aussies sign up for jihad’s team terror

UP to 400 Australians are now estimated to be either fighting for Islamic State terrorists in the Middle East or actively supporting their cause here at home, with security agencies alarmed at the rate young men are turning to terror. 
 
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop yesterday said coalition forces including Australians had been asked to stay longer in Afghanistan than the 2016 deadline set by the US President Barack Obama, amid warnings Islamic State was attempting to broaden their reach by co-operating with the Taliban.

Ms Bishop, who secretly flew into the Afghan capital Kabul yesterday to meet President Ashraf Ghani, confirmed that during an hour-long meeting he made a “compelling” case for coalition countries to stay longer in Afghanistan to prevent it descending back into another Iraq and a second haven for terrorism.

“Australia’s contribution to this brutality is disproportionally high. We are, and continue to be, the largest contributor per capita of young men to this violence.”

A senior government official confirmed yesterday that the numbers of active Australian jihadists were probably higher than what was being published.

So we have 2% of our population spawning 400 active islamic terrorists.

This equates to 20,000 terrorists per 100% if muslims were normal and no different to the rest of us.

However there are nil participating terrorists from any other group of Australians.

Consequently Australian muslims are 20,000 times more likely to be a religious terrorist than any other Australian.

Good research, Moses.

It's an appalling indictment on the idealists who've been running our immigration policy since the early 70's when they opened the gates to the Muslims.
