Islamic terrorists are not Islamic terrorists because they arrived here pretending to be refugees. They are Islamic terrorists because of Islam.
We got to get far left tosspots like Duncan Lewis out of positions of influence.
ASIO director-general Duncan Lewis kicked things off with a preposterous and easily-refuted claim: “I have absolutely no evidence to suggest there is a connection between refugees and terrorism.”
ASIO director-general Duncan Lewis kicked things off with a preposterous and easily-refuted claim: “I have absolutely no evidence to suggest there is a connection between refugees and terrorism.”
Numerous commentators then presented case after case of refugees who had committed acts of terrorism.
ASIO boss Lewis responded with an argument quickly demolished by Chris Kenny:
After being called out on his statement, Mr Lewis initially chose silence but this morning took to the friendly space of Radio National to try to explain himself. “There are without question — and I don’t resile from that — there are members of the former refugee or the sons and daughters of refugees who are in the group that have resorted to radicalisation,” he said, in a concession to the bleeding obvious.
“But I think it is very wrong to say that it is because of their refugee status,” he went on, arguing with a point that as far as I am aware no one has made. Certainly no sane person would make such a claim — that terrorists are radicalised because they are refugees — but this somehow is the clarification the ASIO chief has decided to make.
You may have thought the whole issue had reached critical idiot mass when the ABC’s Jonathan Green wrote that Lewis was “attempting to lead a nuanced conversation”, but even Green would not have dared take the next step.
