    A tragic end to an horrific attack in the heart of Sydney. A mentally unstable man is to blame, not #Islam, multiculturalism or race

        @antloewenstein I think our government's entrenched, divisive politics of hate and violence also share some blame here.

        @antloewenstein It's amazing how the far left obsessively defends Islamic fundamentalism from blame. Acting like PR reps for Islamists

        @antloewenstein @sortius Unsound criminal mind and being prone to terrorism hardly mutually exclusive. Ismalmist terrorists can be nuts too.

        @AlanRMJones wouldn't an IS operative have access to an IS flag? I suppose the fact he was a "spiritual healer" is to be ignored too.
