I believe Malaysia is a bigger danger because the Saudis have been spending a lot of money on Madrasahs in Malaysia. Saudi Madrasahs are the cradle of terrorism.

This is shows the success of LIBs "Turn the Boats Back" policy

There's a bottleneck in Indonesia of terrorists wanting to get into Australia

They were promised 72 virgins

Turn the Boats Back has cut off this avenue for them so the only real target left now Indonesia

Congratulations LIBs

Shame on you Greens and ALP

You make it sound like a good news story!!!

72 virgins under 15 is a big ask in the muslim world. Under 12 probably is too.

France recognises palestine, france gets attacked.

Indonesia just opened a hospital n gaza, it then gets attacked.

It's testament to the stupidity of the Indonesian government for allowing those who went to fight with ISIS back into the country again.

I agree with you on the terrorism front. It has all been downhill since 9/11.

However, ISIS has changed the game and is on a far bigger scale than 9/11. If and when we do defeat it, the terrorism is likely to pick up again. Or they will just carve out a Caliphate somewhere else.

The terrorist attacks have also become more focused on freedom of speech. After 9/11, people were bewildered. The attacks in Europe on the other hand send a very clear message and single out a small target population that is the thin end of the wedge of the Islamic agenda.

I’ll let you deal with it, Herbie.

Muslims killed at least 20 at a hotel in Burkina Faso today. Large numbers were killed in Mali in 2015. There was Tunisia, Paris, Istanbul, California, Tennessee, Philippines, and throughout the Middle East where Muslim fanaticism is passed off as sectarian. It is almost a daily occurrence now somewhere in the world. The religion of peace is winning alright. Its just the peace part that is wrong. I think I have said this before at least once: Gandalf, what you may have once had for intelligence is now lost in orientalism.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/01/16/burkina-faso-attack/78892196/


A bloody terrorist attack that left 23 people dead in Burkina Faso's capital ended Saturday after national and French security forces raided an upscale hotel in the capital, killing four extremists and freeing 126 hostages.

The dead included people of 18 different nationalities, the BBC reported. Among the freed hostages was the country's labor minister.

Three of the terrorists, believed to belong to a local al-Qaeda affiliate, were killed in the assault on the Hotel Splendid, a popular meeting place for foreign tourists and United Nations staff in central Ouagadougou. A fourth attacker was killed nearby.

The raid to end the siege was mounted after dozens of French forces arrived overnight from neighboring Mali. One U.S. military member was embedded with French forces at the scene, and the United States was working to help provide France with surveillance and reconnaissance help, according to a U.S. senior defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, the AP reported.

The attack in the capital of the landlocked West African country began late Friday when the terrorists seized the hotel and the nearby Cappuccino Cafe and set fire to several cars, according to AFP. Burkina Faso’s Internal Affairs Minister Simon Compaore said 10 bodies were found inside the cafe after the siege ended.

The terrorist group known as AQIM, or al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, claimed responsibility online as the attack was unfolding at the 147-room hotel, according to SITE Intelligence Group, a U.S.-based organization that monitors jihadists' online activity.

In a message posted in Arabic on the extremists’ “Muslim Africa” Telegram account, the group said fighters “broke into a restaurant of one of the biggest hotels in the capital of Burkina Faso, and are now entrenched and the clashes are continuing with the enemies of the religion.” Fighters who spoke by phone later “asserted the fall of many dead Crusaders,” AQIM said, according to SITE.

The same group is believed responsible for a similar siege at an upscale hotel in Bamako, Mali in November that left 20 dead.

While Burkina Faso, a largely Muslim country, has largely been spared the violence wracked by Islamic extremist groups in Mali, a Romanian national was abducted last April.

Two of the attackers were women, President Roch Marc Christian Kabore said on national radio, according to the Associated Press.

The French Ambassador, Gilles Thibault, however, gave a higher death toll of 27 and denied any women were among the dead militants, the BBC reported. He also tweeted that 150 people from 18 countries had been rescued.

The attacks follow growing tension in Burkina Faso the wake of a coup attempt by presidential guards that collapsed in September. The newly installed government of president Kabore recently issued an arrest warrant for Guillaume Soro, the head of the National Assembly in neighboring Ivory Coast, for his alleged involvement in the failed coup attempt.

In addition, Kabore broke with the past Wednesday by picking a cabinet packed with ministers who had not served under the previous administration of Blaise Compaore, who was president for 27 years. Compaore went into exile in Ivory Coast after being ousted in an uprising in 2014.

In a separate development, an Austrian doctor and his wife were kidnapped Friday night by extremists in Burkina Faso’s north near its border with Mali, Abi Ouattara, security ministry spokeswoman, said Saturday, the AP reported.

Lucky this lot was totally inept.

Pretty funny how 2 of them had been in jail for previous offences.

The simple fact of the matter is, if violent Islamism was "winning" most of us would be dead by now. Islamists are relentless and determined, there is no doubt about that, but by and large the peaceful muslims are overwhelmingly dominant and are winning - and if they weren't, you can be sure as hell your life would be completely turned upside down, instead of sitting comfortably at your computer trolling me. I mean, lets face it issue, you've never been affected by terrorism have you? None of us here have, in fact almost no Australians have - its about the most unlikely way to be killed or injured. And yet there are half a million muslims in Australia, if even a small fraction of these decided to do the things people like you are always assuring us all muslims want to do - there would be chaos.

This story is a perfect reminder of how much under the thumb the Islamists really are in most of the muslim world - a few weak targets due to impoverishment and political vacuums in Africa and the middle east notwithstanding. Indonesia is the largest muslim country on earth - and secular democrats reign supreme in every facet of Indonesian society. Thats the real story here.

But, G, it is total chaos. Google Paki donkey porn.

And some want to let these people in?

Pathetic, leftards, just pathetic.

Gandalf would you agree that the overall problem is actually getting worse?
