Terrorist Attacks

Officers dispelled initial fears that the incident was linked to terrorism, which were heightened in the light of the Filipino military’s recent battle with Islamic State-linked militants and the subsequent declaration of martial law in its south. They said they believed robbery was a more likely motive.

Societies ruled by Islamic law have become frustrated. Too many are angry at the West, or at their leaders, or at other religions. As a consequence, like it or not, Muslims are more susceptible to Islamisation than non-Muslims.

However, the biggest threat from Islam is not to life and limb but to liberty. There is any number of particularities of Islam that makes it so: religiosity, and the extraordinary attachment to the Koran as a guide to life; associated illiberal attitudes to apostasy and blasphemy; paranoia about the West and especially Jews; and the mistreatment of women.

Tawhidi went further, saying young people were being radicalised, even in Australia, “because of the Islamic scriptures that we have”.

“They push the Muslim youth to believe that if you go out there and you kill the infidel that’s how you will gain paradise.

“It is very hard being a peaceful, moderate person within a society that is infested by extremist Muslims. I will not deny this fact.”
