Awful and sad, these are people trying to live their lives and they get blown away. This is happening in a majority Muslim country, and the Muslims are fighting the terrorist.

I've been to Turkey and they are some of the most welcoming and hospitable people you will ever meet. Also they own majority of the kebab shops in and around Sydney and a greater late night snack after a big night out you won't find, homous, garlic and chilli sauce!

From all reports of today's foiled attempt, six of them were born and bred Australian Terrorists.

Well done to the AFP and security agencies who work tirelessly to allow us to walk the streets without fear.

You made Australia a safer place today!

Cheers Watto, we try to make a positive difference.

The problem is Islamic Fundamentalists are :roll trying to drive the wedge between moderates and the Western communities.

Attacks like this sow seeds of distrust of Muslims within Western communities. That distrust sees Muslims become disaffected, isolated and then makes them prime candidates to be radicalised.

Divide and conquer.

As a side note, there's people who get caught in between these two factions. I have half Lebanese cousins, and they're Christian but that didn't stop them being abused at the hands of charming Aussies around the time of the Cronulla riots. They're as Australian as you can get, they just look middle eastern. I was saddened to hear that good people like them were subject to such misdirected hatred simply for looking different.

CB you are 100% correct I have good friends that are Pakistani muslins, nicer people you would not find anywhere.
All I was trying to say in previous posts is that moderate Muslims need to speak out against these radicalised members of their religion.
I just want to make one other point, that I don't have a single ounce of racism in me.
I work with and are friends with a lot of people from different nationalities, and appreciate that they have come to our wonderful country to better their and their families lives.
I don't know wether it's because we live in the "so called Bush" that they have assimilated into the community and adopted the Aussie culture.

Actually both CB and Bathurst Tiger are right in what they say,I come from a European background and upbrining,although born here in Australia, it didn't stop the charming Aussie born and breds calling me a wog,daygo or spic for no other reason that they could, Mum and Dad both worked their guts out on the railway so we could have a better life than what they left behind after the 2nd WW,before anyone says that Iam crying sour grapes,I can guarantee I bare absolutely no malice over childhood viciousness…I do not condone tarring everybody with the same brush,we are all human,all get sick,all bleed and eventully die,so nobody really wins...these absurd attacks on beautiful,innocent men women and children all over the world only makes us a little more cautious when in the company of middle eastern appearing people,it could be called collateral damage so to speak..however to associate all with these terrorists is an absolute wrong, we now live in a world of greater growing doubt about new friends neighbours and some family members..I don't have the solution or answers to these low humans killing innocence for no reason other than maybe being brainwashed with the promise of greater things...All I can do is live my life to the fullest,loooking after loved family and friends and helping others when I can,I refuse to let a minority instill fear in me our my family because I know that Iam a fair better and greater person than that minority ever will be.

As a sidenote my Mum was born in Westfallen Germany on the west side of the wall before it was torn down(as it should have been) Dad was born in Kielce Poland not to far from Warsaw....so if you want to call me anything call me BITSA,(bit of everything in one pack)..
and very,very proud of my heritage and both deceased parents...

The problem is that the moderates and their family and friends then get targeted far worse than anyone else

Bit like speaking out about bikie gangs , you don't have one show up to sort you out , its like 10 on 1 and they couldn't give a rats whether they hurt your kids or whoever else gets in the way
