Get ready for people to "sing Kumbaya" and bury their heads in the sand rather than confronting the problem and being honest.

Get ready for another week of media frenzy. They love this stuff.

Why?

What did Eddie say now?

What would you like them to do or say?

Not obfuscate that attacks are from any group other than followers of Islam. Not blame the tool of the attack, but the attacker.

I've even seen headlines for this "Truck attacks crowd in Nice". The media and the pandering cowards on the left need to stop surrendering to Islam. The whole "If you kill your enemy they win" bullshit needs to stop.

Of course it'll be facebook flags, #notallmuslims and "You're a racist bigot" then back to bitching about Straight White Males.

If you ask the Libs Right, he's always been there.

If you look into his history, he has always been there. Might've become a very rich man but he's always been on the 'progressive' side of politics. It's what's caused so many problems between him and the rest of the Libs, from the ETS the first time around to taxing Super this time around. He's a big government, tax and spend socialist who originally wanted to join the Labor party.

So he's left of the far right, and right of P4S.

Does that make him centre or ambidextrous?

You've hit the nail on the head.

I want politicians, those in significant positions of power and the regressive left to admit that we're dealing with an "Islamist" problem and to stop defending the indefensible by falling into the trap of the Islamist narrative that these terror groups preach to garner sympathy and justification for why these commit these attacks in the first place.

We're so paralysed by fear of offending somebody, that we're seeing a backlash from the voting public as we've seen with the rise of Trump in the US, Brexit and etc.

Let us try to break it down into parts.

What is this Islamist narrative being preache? And what should we be doing differently Jezza?

[Jezza]

It's the narrative that Islamist groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda preach to garner support and to obtain new recruits from disillusioned Muslims. It's also a twisted way for them to justify violent attacks against civilians (Muslim or Non-Muslims).

The Quilliam Foundation (counter-extremist think tank) explains it in detail in the link below:
