I think he meant switch, as in part of a tree.

I can't believe this is true.

We are told every day that this group, ISIS, is not a threat to the western world on our land, so what they do is none of our business.

Now we are supposed to believe they have operatives in western countries?

I don't believe it.

They're in Mexico.

Well the report may not be confirmed by I believe there is concern given the state of our border policy.

Me too. Wasn't it reported that people have been found crossing from over 100 countries and most of them are not from South America?
 
Australia better stay vigilant since they helped the US to intervene in the middle east. If they want to be the policeman of the world like the US then they can expect more of these in the years to come.

Didn't the Russian get attacked? They aren't world policemen. :shrug:
 
I hope our law enforcement will be just on the ball if and when such a plot is hatched here.

Myself, I think the folks with the "build a big fence around America," (which, I have no objection to,) agenda are trying to ride on the coat tails of ISIS, to push their own border agenda.

The cartels are pretty good at beheading, themselves. But I think they would exterminate any ISIS on their side of the fence. But, then again, that probably depends on how much money ISIS is willing to pay them. Cartels are slime scum too.
 
Another story for liberals to ignore. Multiculturalism is the death knell of the west. Australia is 92% white, which means Arab muslims make up a tiny percentage of their population, and yet there are still terrorists to be found among those tiny numbers.
Our ancestors of previous generations had much more common sense than we do today. They realized it was pointless to mix cultures together that are radically different. They managed to preserve our way of life, why aren't we learning from there example?

The issue here is Sydney, not ISIS. Australia would be a better place if we shipped Sydney off to New Zealand or something.

Why don't you go to New Zealand, that would be easier. :lol:
 
I know Australia is extremely hard to get in to, so that begs the question, how did these terrorists get into the country.
 
If they were about to implement this plan in Australia..... rest assured they have something in the works for the continental USA as well.

Our terror alert was raised to high late last week which was a good indication that something was being planned. One of those detained is believed to be the most senior Australian ISIL leader. Really good work by our Police and counter terrorism security forces to get these maniacs before they carried out their evil acts. It does give some small comfort to know that they are "on the ball".

Do you mean to say that ISIL, or the Islamic state has an Australian branch that's operational there, or that a few slipped into Australia to attempt this terrible deed?

Its not surprising Iran and the Shia would be against the Sunni Led Terrorists. Its no different with Iran being against the Saudi, Qatar, or any other Sunni led Countries. This was always to be expected.

The ancient Sunni/Shia conflict still baffling to some? ;)q

Yeah.....some tend to forget how that plays out with 21st century politics and then geo politics. KnowwhatImean.....Monte. :2wave:

Who were the 9?
Click to expand...

I don't know, but here was a sentence in your article:

Nine of those detained were later released, New South Wales police said.

So 15 were originally detained and 9 were later released. Like I said, that makes me wonder.

Australia has always held a good relationship with and been a loyal ally of the US. We are the only country to have served alongside the United States in every major conflict since WWII and i see no reason for that relationship not to continue. This event is clear evidence that we are staying vigilant by the fact these maniacs were thwarted before they could carry out their act. We don't need any reminders to stay vigilant as we won't forget the Bali Bombings in 2002 when 88 Aussies lost their lives when Australians were targeted in part due to our close ties with America.

I've stated before here that i'm not a fan of giving these lunatics a continued platform to try and spread fear by watching youtube videos of Foley's, Haines and Sotloff's execution. I don't need to watch it to know what they did was disgusting. I don't need to watch it to know it is real. They attempt to create fear and hysteria to justify the unjustifiable and i'm not prepared to give them the satisfaction of "winning" their propoganda war. **** them. No gutless, crazy, extremist who thinks it's ok to target civilians is going to get in my head and stop me living my life the way i choose.

How about that it's entirely one sided and we gain nothing from it?

And this has ZERO to do with ISIS, how about you go derail another thread?

except that saudi arabia is highly suspected of funding ISIL.
