But not to worry, our real enemies are  blue-tie wearers.
“Extremism on home soil needs to be watched“
“Extremism?” Like overeating or binge drinking? Of course not. Just another journo  (Anthony Bergin from The AGE)  who can’t get himself to use the ‘M’ word.
After the Boston bombings and the terrorist attack in Woolwich, it’s odd that recent revelations on homegrown extremism  Islamic activities downunder haven’t created community and political concern.
Up to 100 Australians We don’t know how many Muslims from Australia are  thought to be fighting in Syria at the moment and authorities fear young Australian Muslims are being radicalised on home soil as a program in a Western Sydney bookstore suggests.

The ABC’s 7.30 program recently aired a report that examined whether young Australian Muslims are being radicalised on home soil.

The program noted four Australian Muslims who had volunteered to go to Syria and fought with the al Qaeda group, Jabhat al-Nursa. They were killed there and listed as martyrs on jihadi forums.
One of the participants was a Melbourne bricklayer. He’d been named in a cable from the US embassy in Canberra as one of 23 Australians that the US had requested over two years ago to be added to a terrorist screening database.
The 7.30 report highlighted how the Al Risalah bookstore was a centre of Islamic extremism. It had attracted an audience of hundreds of young Muslim men to pay tribute to an imam who was killed in Syria last year.
The program noted that several firebrand sheiks are operating at the bookstore, including one known to the authorities who was a former baggage handler at Qantas, trained at a military camp in Afghanistan and was a confidante of Osama bin Laden. Last year he was convicted to nine years’ jail for producing a do-it-yourself terrorism book.
Dreyfus is our best example of a limp dick:
Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus stated on the program that those fighting in Syria are breaking Australian law. But there wasn’t any suggestion that there would be charges laid, or that the activities of the Bankstown bookstore would be restricted.
