Hostage Crisis in Australia

This is one guy?

So it will end when he falls asleep, basically?

Yes, why wouldn't they have the decency to only retaliate in the places where they are bombed, I thought to myself.

What an odd comment and yes, I know it's sarcastic. Still odd, not completely sure what it means. You feel sorry for the terrorists being bombed? You think it's fair game for them to attack in Western countries?

If your reaction is that innocent people in Afghanistan are just as much victims of Jihadism as innocent people in Australia and therefore it's callous to say Jihadists should only attack their own co-nations, yes I would agree.

If that was your reaction, you phrased it in a very weird and unclear way though.

"Small" is of course an objective term but it's not really small minority by most standards. It's at the very least a significant minority.

We do no one any favors by constantly downplaying the problem.

I don't know about Australia but if you look at the UK and you see someone like Abu Hamza was able to fill a big mosque every week, that's not some fringe sect.

Also, while obviously no sane person supports violence or discrimination against random Muslims, it is really bizarre that a Muslims extremists kills a bunch of people and one of the first major reactions among the general public is to start a hashtag about how much everybody loves Muslims.

People didn't hashtag #illstillhavesexwithmen after Elliot Rodgers.
