AUSTRALIA'S LEFTIST PM - KEVIN RUDD - ACKNOWLEDGES JIHADISM IS A HUGE DOMESTIC THREAT

BBC: Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has warned that his country is now under a permanent and increased threat of militant attack.

He also announced plans to fingerprint and face-scan visitors from 10 high-risk countries.

Mr Rudd said there was a growing threat from Islamist radicals born or raised in Australia.

Last week, five Australians of foreign origin received heavy sentences for conspiring to launch a jihadist attack.

Home grown

Mr Rudd said that many "home-grown terrorists" were inspired by what he called international jihadist narratives, as he released a new report compiled by intelligence agencies.

IT WOULD NICE IF THE LEFT IN THE USA - AND ELSEWHERE - ADMITTED SAME.

NICER YET: IF - UNITED AT LAST IN THE WEST - WE ALSO ACCEPTED THAT THE ENEMY ISN'T MERELY JIHADISM OR "MILITANT ISLAM", BUT ISLAM ITSELF.

ISLAM IS NO MORE A "RELIGION OF PEACE" THAN BUDDHISM IS A RELIGION A GLUTTONY.

THE SO-CALLED MILITANTS ARE NOT APOSTATES, THEY ARE ORTHODOX FOLLOWING THE DICTATES OF THEIR "FAITH".

AS LONG AS WE PRETEND OTHERWISE WE ALLOW THE ENEMY THREAT TO GROW...
