Sorry it wasn't last night. It is now so I can't get at it.

Essentially the Aussies were saying that when hard line Islam refuses to integrate and when all the terrorists quote religious text from their "bible", then that religion is at war with the entire western world.

They were pretty blunt about it too. Which is probably why it disappeared behind the paywall..

This is on the Guardian's website today. Was this it Suff?

It is simple enough. Lots of Muslims in a country means a greater risk of a terrorist attack. No Muslims in a country means a much reduced risk of a terror attack. It is unarguable.

Same vein but different.

It was a series of three letters to the newspaper written by three different readers. All pretty much saying when you are at war but are still being apologists for _their_ intolerance; then you are going to lose.

I mentioned the other day the views on this same subject made by Donald Trump and Newt Gingrich and these are now being openly discussed, at least in Australia. The genie is out of the bottle.

Part of the problem, certainly in the UK, is that Islam and its followers have and are being treated as special cases. Investigations into criminal activities by Moslems were, and are, hampered by the virus that is Political Correctness. This has engendered a belief in some Moslems and their communities that they are untouchable.

Time for a rethink.
