Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said it’s just an “excuse” to blame Melbourne’s recent Islamic terrorist attack on mental health issues. In an interview on Studio 10, the Prime Minister said, “This bloke, radicalised here in Australia with extreme Islam, took a knife and cut down a fellow Australian in Bourke Street. I mean, I’m not going to make excuses for that… “He was a terrorist. He was a radical extremist terrorist who took a knife to another Australian because he’d been radicalised in this country. We can’t give him excuses, and we can’t allow others. These other issues…

Hundreds of inmates radicalized during the war in Syria and the rise of Islamic State are set to be released from French prisons before the end of next year, the Wall Street Journal reports. Of those set to be released, about 50 were serving terrorism-related sentences, and a further 400 were classified as “radicalized” while in prison. According to the WSJ, “That group includes inmates finishing longer sentences who were convicted before the Syrian war, such as Djamel Beghal, who left prison on Monday.” “Mr. Beghal was handed his first terrorism-related conviction in 2001, another in 2013, and French magistrates…

Anger can be wrong. Anger can be sinful. But anger is not always a wrong and sinful emotion. Sometimes it’s right to be angry. The Bible says, “be angry, and do not sin” (Ps. 4:4; Eph. 4:26). This would suggest that anger is not necessarily sinful, otherwise you couldn’t “be angry” without sinning. But often we find ourselves angry at the wrong times and the wrong things, and not angry enough at the right times about the right things. In the video below, Brendan O’Neill and Julie Hartley-Brewer discuss Britain’s passive response to the Manchester bombing. A nation that cannot…

A terrorist in Toronto has plowed a rental van into a crowd killing 10 people and injuring at least 16 others. The footage below shows the moment the man was captured by a brave police officer. In the brief showdown the man of “Middle Eastern appearance” can be seen pointing his phone at the officer like a gun, while reportedly shouting, “Kill me… Shoot me in the head.”

A Muslim woman has appeared in a Facebook video, lamenting the “great misery” Muslims suffer by living in Australia. In the 4-minute clip, the woman explains, “I’m living in a deadly, and catastrophic, man-made system called Capitalism, which oppresses humanity across the world… It is completely and utterly responsible for causing great misery and suffering… for people, such as myself, living in Western countries, like Australia.” Now, you’d think, if somebody didn’t like where they lived, they might easily pack up and move to their preferred location. Well, that’s not an option for this woman. She doesn’t want to change…

Carlson asks: With Assad gone, who would run it? Do we have another strongman to install? Or is our hope that a stable democracy will magically appear in the wake of civil war? And who exactly are these “moderate rebels” you hear so much about, the ones we’re supporting? The city where the chemical attack just occurred is mostly controlled by the Army of Islam, a radical group that has called for establishing an Islamic state under sharia law in Syria. We’re supposed to wage a new war on their behalf? Why?

Commenting on the recent events in Melbourne, Mark Steyn writes: One of the problems with bollarding off pedestrians behind a wall of Diversity Bollards is that they still occasionally have to emerge from behind the bollards to cross the street, and it’s hard to bollard off a pedestrian crossing. In this case, the non-terror-related Australian citizen simply waited until the little green sign indicated it was safe for pedestrians to cross the street and then floored it. In an amusing touch, his car eventually came to a rest against a bollard. What’s the solution? Maybe automobile manufacturers could replace airbags…
