I'm sure this latest terror plot to bomb downtown Melbourne (an Australian City) on Christmas day will have concerned most Aussie's and quite a few Kiwi's.

This is indeed scary stuff and comes hot on the heels of the attack in Berlin earlier this week.

Well done to all those behind the raids yesterday that helped foil this evil act.

My thoughts go out to all me OZ mates across the ditch about to enjoy the festive season with family & friends.

Merry Christmas Lads:salute::

It's going to be a long, drawn-out fight, because these people worship death, and they de-humanize their victims, so they have no compunction about killing us and themselves in the process. It's like fighting the Japanese in WWII, with that kind of ideology.
 
Yeah, this is a concern Toddy and unfortunately another attempt at terror will probably be made sometime in the future. I only hope our Police and other agencies are on the ball and continue to thwart them.

It's a shame that certain people do not want to embrace Aussie culture and freedoms we have and all they want to do is bring hatred and death to our society.

Not just Aussie culture--Western culture, modern or contemporary culture. These people have a mindset that is rooted in the eighth century.

I am always reminded of Reese's quote from "The Terminator", which I paraphrase slightly, for jihadis: "They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear, and they absolutely will not stop, ever!" Meaning, they have to be killed off, or, enough have to be killed off, until others decide that it's no longer attractive to join them.

Prost!

Totally agree Brad and good post, this is a very appropriate quote for these people!

When will the western governments start realizing that welcoming these heathens into their countries is a death sentence. The policy of appeasement does not work.Something the Europeans should very well know from the policies of the 1930's.This "religion of peace"has been at war since it came into existence.They are as alien to us as martians.

Gents,

I shared a similar discussion with George on another thread and I say this: I do not like to use the word hate, but I absolutely loathe those who hurt the innocent. It is one of the most despicable acts to harm those who are defenseless. Fortunately, the plan was thwarted and god bless those officers who stop it.

One worrying aspect of this is that the blokes arrested were born here and not from overseas but whose parents one assumes were from the Mid-east, probably not relevant but is food for thought.

Good point mate, we've done some training on this at work, but I still struggle to understand the 'home-grown' angle at times. Not all of these Terrorists have middle eastern or religious origins which can make it very difficult for authorities to spot.
 
What can you say other than it's the way of the world now, very sad. No one is immune and there is no rhyme or reason involved. Any human is capable of these hideous crimes, so we are stuck with this threat for along time to come. Just need to keep on keeping on and make the best of it, before we too jump off the planet. Robin.
