Virtually unnoticed in the media,  a review is now under way could drastically weaken Australia’s counter-terrorism laws.

That comes at a moment when ASIO has warned of “a greater than 50 per cent chance of a domestic terrorist attack or attack planning in the next 12 months”, with the elevated threat level expected to persist “at least out to 2030”.

The stakes could not be higher. Yet so is the pressure being exerted by a broad range of Muslim organisations seeking changes ASIO says could have “catastrophic consequences”.

Viewed superficially, the Independent National Security Legislation Monitor’s review appears extremely narrow, confined as it is to the current legislation’s definition of terrorism. But it is only when an act – or the planning of an act – falls within the definition that the legislation’s sweeping powers are engaged.

And it is those powers of surveillance, search, questioning and detention that allow law enforcement agencies to disrupt plots, identify offenders and ensure they are brought to trial.

The Muslim organisations seek, first of all, to drastically narrow the range of acts or planned acts the definition encompasses.

Acts aimed at intimidating only a section of the population – such as Jews – would be excluded. Acts that cause harm to property rather than to persons – such as arson attacks on synagogues – would be excluded as well. So too would threats and hoaxes, including the trailer found earlier this year in northwest Sydney containing explosives and notes identifying Jewish community buildings.

Had those changes been in place, virtually all of Iran’s terrorist activity in Australia would have fallen outside the definition’s scope, making it far harder to apprehend culprits and document Iran’s responsibility.

Correct.

The Koran says to kill the unbelievers where ever you find them.

Muslims believe the Koran is the unchangeable word of Allah,  given to Muhammed in a cave by the arch angel.gabriel.

The question should be why so many Muslims refuse to be proper Muslims and head off to a bridge in Bondi.

They are the true heretics.

This is why doctors, engineers professors head off to join ISIS  in the middle East.
Because they are good Muslims.
No wonder ISIS has to blow up and attack other Muslims.
They are also  " non believers"

Islam is a poisonous Snake 🐍

A phobia is pretty justified

There is even less evidence that Jesus existed, Eugene.  He is only mentioned in one account, by Josephus, peripherally in about 93–94 ce.

“Oh Allah … beat the (usurping) Zionist Jews,” the sheik said in Arabic, translated to English by The Australian.

“Oh Allah, we hope you count them and kill them one by one, and don’t keep any (one) of them … shake the ground under their feet … make an example of them.”


Nuffin' to see here.
