Jon Sellers appears to have identified a key – the leadership of Islam. Can anyone confirm a story out of Nigeria where female Muslim students murdered a Christian teacher who accidently dropped a student bag containing a copy of the Koran? If true, then who teaches the young such behaviour? Surely parents and Imams. “Peaceful” musllims will always obey the Koranic teachers.

I believe any person , group or nation that kills plans to kill or allows or supports those who by their own choice kill the innocent (someone they cannot point to as a killer) forfeit their own right to life. Any attempt at appeasement or compromise is nothing more than a slow, agonizing surrender to evil. Any compromise with terrorism is excusing it and thus allowing it to prevail over all humanity.
How can any sane, rational person believe you can convince someone whose entire reason and purpose in life is to get to heaven by killing you, not to kill you.
They should be destroyed just as a rabid animal is destroyed and with no more thought or remorse.

I appreciate the fact that there are peaceful and compassionate Muslims. Howvever as you stated we must oppose the extremists and not take this topic lying down. There may be a majority of Muslims that want peace here in Australia, but unfortunately there are those that would love nothing more than to oppose our ways of freedom, and these people simply can’t be ignored.

Islam is as much a political religion as a spiritual one. The discussion the West must initiate is to convince Islamic leaders to abandon Islamic imperialism and assimilate into the culture where they live. The average Muslim may be peaceful, but it is the leaders who get things done. A simple reading of Islamic history shows that given political and military power they seek to conquer and control others. That has not changed to this day. Can Islam be reformed to give up the ideal of world domination? That is the question of the century!

One has to differentiate between people and ideology.
