Islamic terror attacks...I have the solution, page-59

Scocat, you're misrepresenting what posters like me are saying!

We're not saying ignore or deny at all, we're saying make our institutions responsible for our security work properly and hold them to greater public account for not doing so.

Our Police are doing their job by bringing alleged offenders before our courts; not just radicalised Islamists but wife beaters, rapists and those into white collar fraud. But it's all downhill from there as our courts seemingly reflect neither public values nor respect our expectations.

We need to fix the processes and structures that are allowing atrocities ranging from repeated drunk driving, the ongoing violence against women, child abuse in churches and those linked to radicalised Islamists such as in Martin Place.

But violating our own principles and values through denial of freedom of speech and the victimisation of those whose views we find offensive is another matter altogether.
