A bunch of half-baked juvenile delinquents decide to head off to the Middle East because they fancy a bit of real life smiting, rape, pillaging and beheading mixed with brain-numbing fundamentalism.
Just like these guys
Makes for a convenient government beatup complete with fear-mongering and the opportunity to let the home-grown haters out of the cage.

Thought you’d like to hear some good news:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-10-29/one-in-four-australians-had-a-negative-attitude-towards-muslims/5849744?WT.ac=localnews_Melbourne
The headline is disturbing, though not surprising, but once you scroll through the report there is some really good news throughout:
“2014 American and European surveys which have found disapproval of government handling of immigration in the range 60-75 per cent,” the report stated.
By comparison, the Monash study found 58 per cent of respondents believed the immigration rate in Australia was “about right or too low”.
“”It was a very surprising result because the proportion of those concerned about immigration has gone down,” Professor Markus said.”
“the majority of Australians – 85 per cent – believed immigration had been good for Australia.”
So the next time someone from PDL, ADL, or whatever hamfisted scrabble grab they come up with next week say “Australians are against multiculturalism” then we can remind them this is crap.
Oh yes the Addled and the Piddled like to think they are somehow mainstream.
Mainstream? More like sullage pit.
