Moses, if people travel to Syria to fight and have every intention of dying in Syria - what does that say about the threat they pose to Australia?

Nonsense. After all the hysteria with those police raid extravaganzas - which the media just happened to get a tip off about as they were happening - the average joe blow probably thinks our prisons are chock full of terrorists. Then ASIO inexplicably ramps up this absurd "terrorism alert" thing from "scared" to "panic" or something like that. Completely meaningless of course.
Its just blatantly and shamelessly confected by an irresponsible government that must keep proving their national security credentials - as well as take the heat off their embarrassment of a budgetary policy. And that is why someone like yourself who claims to stand up for freedom should be all over this - and see it for what it is - an actual threat to our freedoms. It should be dealt with without the fuss and without making it political - like DV is treated.
If only there was a smidgen of logic in your above scenarios.
muslims in Syria (and other muslim countries) are calling for muslims around the globe to commit islamic atrocities in their western safe havens.
Our anti terror units have preempted and defeated many muslims before they have been able to carry out their acts of terror.
I believe that it's about 400 Australian muslims have been stopped from going overseas to commit islamic atrocities.
I haven't got the figures on hand, as to how many Australian muslims have been detained, jailed or waiting for trial on terrorism charges.
However they do exist in the plural, which means islamic atrocities are the norm for muslims, most definitely not a totally uncommon precept occasionally carried out by some singular muslim nutcase.
The facts are that muslims present a threat in real time, in Australia and other western nations.
muslim on muslim violence is ever present, has been since the inception of islam.
