Comments on other issues: Australia a puzzling hotbed of IS recruiting

M

strong>March 22, Online/AP

A nightclub bouncer who reportedly became a terror group leader. A man who tweeted a photo of his young son clutching a severed head.

A teenager who is believed to have turned suicide bomber, and others suspected of attempting to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State (IS) movement. All of them, Australian.


Your comments:

A free, modern secular society and Islam (and indeed many other religions) do not mix well together. The tension between the two particularly results in the path of radicalization.

Australia needs to drastically revise its immigration requirements to ensure only those who fully advocate a secular society are allowed in.

Australia also needs tougher legislation so that any people who advocate sharia, pluralism (as opposed to an integrated society) and terrorism are assigned to remote detention centers with forced work requirements for long periods.

I say, if they are over 18 and want to fight in the Middle East, let them go. But never let them back into Australia. When they leave, it should be forever, as much as this will hurt the families, their mothers and fathers, whom they abandoned.

Once they are radicalized, I do not believe that there is any turning back and we want a country of peace. That is even with a fool and embarrassment of a prime minister.
