Terrorism in Australia.

This nonsense that Islamist based terrorism only began with Sept. 11 is simply distracting and dangerous. The first terrorist attack in Australia I know of was in 1915 when two Muslim Turks ambushed a picnic party at Broken Hill and shot dead a young girl.

The majority of Broken Hill Muslims decried the attack and refused to bury the bodies of the dead Turks when they were presented to them. But you wonder how well it would have gone down for the local Muslims had they openly supported the pair of terrorists. I doubt that 1915 Broken Hill would have been as, 'tolerant' and, 'understanding' as their modern counterparts.

Perhaps they could teach our leaders a thing or two.
