It's difficult trying to persuade those who will not be persuaded.
Islamists have shown their hand since at least the first World Trade Centre bombing in the 90's. They hate us for what we are, not what we do.
Apologists who wring their hands, gnash their teeth and wail that it would have all been different if we weren't so mean to them in the first place, are part of the problem and can never be part of any solution.
No, peace, they hate us. Full stop. Given a chance they will cut my throat and cut your throat because we are westerners. Personally, I prefer we engage our RAAF and SAS and beat the crap out of them over there.
