ASIO raises terrorist threat level from medium to high.

[Warrigal]

ASIO (Australian Security Intelligence Organisation) is concerned about the activities of local muslims thought to be security threats, given that about 30 Australian nationals are thought to be fighting in northern Syria and others are actively recruiting jihadis.

There has been a raid on a bookshop in Brisbane and two men have been arrested. Several other homes have been raided. The Australian Federal Police and the Queensland State Police carried out a joint operation.

Meanwhile a Jewish school in Sydney is building a bombproof wall as a security measure.

There is elevated concern over important events coming up later this year - grand finals for various football codes, particularly the AFL, and the G20 meeting of world leaders in Brisbane.

Radicalized Muslim terrorists are now a worldwide problem,

and it will only get worse.

Why aren't peaceful Muslims speaking up more against them?

fear, I guess...???

I grew up being told that all that evil was "over there". Today's youth have to grow up thinking that "evil is here". And we wonder way so many are paranoid. I wonder if this paranoia could factor into the anger and violence we are seeing in our youth. :dunno:

Saw the news on tv last night, so much for those, and there were plenty of them, who poo hooed the idea of "Down Under' becoming a terrorist threat.
