#1 Let's see:

*U/I gunnie
*'Narrowly missed' women and children
*Timing almost immediately after Howard's comments

I call BS.

#3 50/50 it was one of the islamic bretheren. Aiming for the womens and childrens is par for the course.

#4 but my question is: where do the criminals get the courage to do this?

Assuming this was an outside attack, the easy answer would be; "Gang rapes of young Australian women who are pissed on after being assaulted." These vile events could easily inspire such ~~outrage~~ "courage".

#5 Let's look at the upside. Even if the gunfire was a set-up, this may well inspire real Australians to imitate it. Mere speculation, mind you.

#7 It's that time of year again, when you can count on reports of pigs' heads being tossed into mosques, hate-words spray painted on Muslims' cars and homes, and such.

Have your BS Detection Meter ready because more of these "incidents" to will come soon. (Hint: It's Ramadan time).

#9 Y'know now that you mention it I've noticed that all the riots are in heavily "Gun Controlled" countries.
The Muzzies don't want anyone to be able to fight back.

#11 No. We don't murder infants. We go after those who plan, finance, supply, execute and support, not after the innocents. If innocents are caught in the crossfire because they were put there to be shields, that's a different story, but not in such situations as this. All out war is not the same as deliberate targetting of the uninvolved.

#12 The Sunni-Shiite-Ahmadiyah conflicts are heating up in Muslim communities in the West. I wouldn't be too quick to point the finger at white racists.

#13 I have to disagree somewhat with Trailing Wife: We should ALSO go after the vocal exorters and recruiters of the Jihadi army as well.

Other that that small amendation, I am 100% in agreement. If this was an outside job, it was a foolish waste of ammunition and a colossal strategic blunder that only serves the cause of those we oppose. Better to patrol the streets looking for rape gangs and go full roman on them when you find them hitting on a sheila.

On the other hand, the asshole MISSED while firing on the Mosque. A paleostinian import brought in to manufacture outrage perhaps.

#14 Too bad he missed? Sheesh! Why do we have to go through this same argument every day with some ridiculous post? If he hit someone, that makes him a MURDERER. Are you seriously advocating murder of innocent people?

What the hell are we fighting for if not to destroy the evil of terrorism? Why would this man's act of terror be any less evil than a muslim act of terror?

Fight the Jihadists. Fight their supporters. Fight their financiers. Fight governments who fund and encourage them. Fight them with every fiber of your being, and I'll be right there beside you. Bit if you think that gives you license to commit atrocity, you sir as just as bad as the terrorists, and probably worse, having benefited from living in a free western world where you should know better. Grow some principles!

#15 It's obviously wrong to fire a high-powered rife into a crowd of innocent worshippers. But maybe the Muslims can ask themselves, "Why do they hate us?", just like they want us to do when we are the victims of terrorism.
