Uniformed Australian Defence Force member attacked

[nero_bolt]

Immigration gave us a country where the armed forces no longer dare wear uniforms in our street

This is no longer the Australia we knew.

This is no longer something to be dismissed as just a problem with a tiny, unrepresentative minority:

A MEMBER of the Australian defence forces has been assaulted and threatened by two men of Middle Eas...

The attack follows the knife attack on two police officers in Victoria that ended with an 18-year-old Islamic extremist being shot dead in Victoria.

NSW Police confirmed today that they were investigating the alleged attack on a member of the Australian Defence Force in full navy uniform at 6 o’clock this morning.

It is understood punches were thrown and threats of beheading were made.

A police spokesman confirmed the 41-year-old man allegedly suffered minor bruising in the attack and reported it later by telephone to Kings Cross police.

“The two men were described as being of middle eastern appearance,” the spokesman said.

Defence force families have already been put on high alert after an incident in Western Sydney in which two men of Middle Eastern appearance approached the house of a serving soldier and asked if defence force personnel lived there. 

They left after the wife of the soldier told them “no”.

NSW Police have also been told to be “vigilant” following the Melbourne attack by radicalised teenager Numan Haider.

Just Don't Mention The Wars: Australian Media's Demonisation Of Muslims

What Sheehan, Devine and Bolt lack in knowledge about Australia's Muslim community, they make up for in imagination, writes Michael Brull.

I have previously noted the sheer weakness of the government’s case for the war on Iraq and possibly Syria. I was surprised that no coherent case has been made for sending troops and aircraft to Iraq, and patiently waited for some kind of substantive arguments to be made.

Now, I am starting to think this is no accident. I don’t think we will ever hear a sober, extended argument about why Australia should join the fighting against ISIS. The real case for war is being made through innuendo, fear, and cheap sloganeering.

There was a suspicious package (that turned out to be a false alarm) somewhere in the NT this morning too She-ele

[lloydslights]

Deb, I was responding to Ashjoma's statement of withdrawing the allegation being "an order from above".

His actions in making the allegation in the first place will be dealt with.  Could be classed as bringing the ADF into disrepute.......

[debra9275]

An order from above not to offend Muslims?


If it's not true it does bring the ADF into disrepute

Part of me hopes he was making it up, the other part of me hopes he didn't, for his sake.

mmmmmmm.... I see it more of - choosing to add fuel to a fire with ignorance - devine, bolt, sheehan or keeping calm and not believing all the bs all over the papers, not a hard choice.

you are clutching at straws.

 Bella Vista is in sydneys north west near Castle Hill

 Kings Cross  very nearby to Garden Island Naval Base

 WHY wait so long to report it --nearest police station would be the logical decision

[karliandjacko]

Nero has gone awfully quiet on the matter.

[lionrose.7]

Perhaps he was late for work and said he was beaten by Muslims, new version of the dog ate my home work

[tezza2844]

With all available sources nero has, I would have expected him to research this a bit better than to use it a political Rant to the Goverments Agenda to blame Muslim's for everthing bad
