"Notable events involving Australian Muslims during this early period include what has been described either as an act of war by the Ottoman Empire, or the earliest terrorist attack planned against Australian civilians"
Ill be generous and agree that it was a terror attack and that whole world war 1 thing was a coincidence.
anyway facts not opinions:

The Battle of Broken Hill was a fatal incident which took place near Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia on 1 January 1915. Two men shot dead four people and wounded seven more, before being killed by police and military officers. Though politically and religiously motivated, the men were not members of any sanctioned armed force and the attacks were criminal. The two men were later identified as being Moslems from the British colony of India, modern day Pakistan (some sources incorrectly identify them as Turkish).[4]

Endeavour Hills stabbings (2014)[edit]
Main article: 2014 Endeavour Hills stabbings
On 23 September 2014 an 18-year-old man,
12 terrorist incidents in Australian history.
2 by moslems,
2 by christians(armenians)
2 by right wing political groups.
2 by Croatians
3 by assorted nutters
1 by the government.
These are the logical conclusions based on factual data:
Moslems, Christians,Croatians and right wing extremists are all equally likely to perpetrate a terrorist action.
The most probable person to commit a terrorist action is a lone nutcase.
The most efficient killer is our own government( 1 bomb 3 dead)
Thanks for the pointer Sprint, really helped me to dig up some quantitative evidence of terrorism in Australia.
After reading this how do you manage to infer that Moslem's are the biggest terror threat without abandoning all pretense of logic?
