My God, those interviewing Reza are morons. They're asking the wrong questions and accussing Muslims of the wrong things. Don't get me wrong, Muslims believe some crazy **bleep** but that just made Islam more credible.

Frankly I'm sick of the race card being played every time there's a criticism of the ISIL terrorism threat to the western world. I fed up with the bigotry card being called too.

The only thing playing to the terrorists is the left pandering to them and demonizing Australians for being racist and bigots.

Time to call out this type of slander.

Good points re the different countries. It does give the impression that whats done in one country is done by all when they label them "Muslim countries". I dont really think it should surprise anyone that the media generalises and reports in a way that will create the biggest shock factor though.

Which part of the interview is "demonizing Australians"?  Actually, which part of the interview mentions Australians?  So, as usual, you comment on something you did not watch.

The only ones I see playing any cards are the ones who want to apply the card myth to shut down every conversation they don't like.

It's quite acceptable to participate in a conversation without resorting to wild accusations against the perceived left.

In that video the whole ridiculous anti Islam sentiment is nicely contradicted.  In nutshell; there are 1.5 billion of Muslims, ISIL has about 30 000 fighters and another 20 000 supporters, Al Qaeda and some other extremists have less, all up maybe hundred thousand = some  0.01% of total Muslim population.

There is no demonizing Australia, only idiots trying to demonize Islam, there are however very loud people embarrassing Australia and thats the bigots and racists, can't blame anyone for that but the ignorant bigots and racists - they need to take responsibility for their own words and actions and stop trying to blame everyone else.
