He sounds chillingly articulate, but many nutters are.
How ignorant of your own country's history do you have to be to rage so violently against "all those who colonize other peoples [sic] lands" when you're a white man in Australia?
Also, there was clearly a racial and Islamophobic component to the attack.
his intention seems to be to avenge centuries of "invasion". This is a little ironic, coming from Australia/NZ.

Is there really such a need to state the very obvious??
I wonder if anyone heard them shouting Allah o Akbar.

Having said that, I believe we need to look at the reasons. Main reason is that a few countries have used "terrorist Islam" for their own gain. They created small groups and used them to give them reasons to attack and occupy resources of a few other countries. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to understand that be it Al Qaedda (anyone remember this word?) or ISIS in the recent past (let's see what new name is given in the future), all of them only destroyed Muslim countries. Then ever second attack in Western countries by someone who shouted Allah O Akbar was carried by people who were known to security agencies or had Islam for dummies books with them. So very practical Muslims.

All that above plus the added spice from the media has created so much Islamophobia that these kind of actions are always on the card. Then someone talked about Immigration or migrants as problem. Could you tell me that this mass migration started before attacks on a few countries in the name of “war on terror” or it was like this before that? The best solution of immigration problem is that do not create migrants.

Finally, i am off to my own Friday prayer now so see you after that.
Chilldoubt: Yes, because earlier in the threat people were doubting it.
Thanks for sharing that link, jno. I think ...
Well I certainly had no delusions as to the motives of this attack from the start.

You gave those idiotic posts some credence?
I wasn't referring to the cannabis-related posts, CD.
appalling and unexpected

"Ch Ch is quite a large urban area" - 1/2m which is around twice the size of Plymouth ( Devon)

I think the whole of NZ is less than the pop of Greater Manchester -
// to rage so violently against "all those who colonize other peoples [sic] lands" when you're a white man in Australia?//

it is a big thing for ozzies to boast they never invaded anyone ( PM refused to send Oz troops to Viet)

big thing in Bali - 200 dead - why us, we never invaded anyone

Australia is reluctant to agree they invaded themselves (!)
and until recently the continent was regarded as terra nullius ( didnt belong to anyone) - very technical point and probably unsuitable for a thread which seriously discusses whether Cannabis is a root cause or whether the white supremacists screamed Allahu Akbar as they shot the muslims ( ho hum but this IS AB)
some things are best read with tinfoil wrapped around the head, Ellipsis; or an old colander might do.
PP, I think keyplus was being ironic.

Apart from the odd 60,000 or so, yes?
Brooding hatred , horrific.
I don't think the Oz contingent of their SAS Squadron would be happy to learn they were'nt actually fighting in the jungles of Nam.
Well as PP would say, 'I am an ABer'
