A recent alleged Islamic terrorist plot in Melbourne has prompted fresh calls from Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton to endorse the Assistance and Access Bill, proposed in August 2018, which may help government agencies access user data on computers and mobile devices.

Mr. Dutton believes that the planned attack involving Hanifi Halis, Ertunc Eriklioglu, and Samed Eriklioglu may have been successful if the alleged terrorists had solely used encrypted communications for planning. Mr. Dutton described the ease at which criminals and potential terrorists could communicate as an "unacceptable risk". According to police, counter-terrorism agents have foiled 15 attempted attacks since 2014, four of which have been described as "major".

    Wow ... way to lump every Muslim into one big dangerous plot against the world.

    >> I'm not even a linguist
    You're not a lot of things. But you still think you can spot all sorts of conspiracies against your self identified "white male Christian" [soylentnews.org] subgroup. Do you sleep with one eye open and one hand on a gun?

    Some day you're going to mouth off to the wrong person, and you will find yourself in a situation you cannot talk your way out of.

      I don't understand this subthread. The OP didn't say "All Arabic speaking persons are terrorists", or "All Muslims are terrorists", or what not. Only that if you found someone speaking an obscure "back-country Arabic", it would be near impossible to decipher.

      It's the same sort of thing the Americans did in WWII. They used Native Americans speaking Navajo over the radio, and no one figured it out.

      For those days, there will always be the option of running. Assuming he ever does face to face interaction in the first place.

    You mean a lot of dangerous local plots.

    In the region of Australia, moslem [straitstimes.com] Indonesia's military has been practcing for well over four decades invasions of Australia. A couple times the only thing holding the practice back from becoming a full-scale attack has been Australia's ties with the US and the strength and influence of the US. When the Republicans have weakened the standing and power of the US sufficiently then one of the next times won't be an exercise.

    Strong US or not, Australia can be weakened enough by more moslem transmigration to the point where it is unable to either defend itself even long enough ask for international help.

    They do that themselves. You should read the K book and discover this for yourself first hand.

    First up you must know that you are an enemy. The kafirophobes believe themselves to be permanently at war with outsiders. None of the lines about making peace and accepting others applies to you.

    Next up know that your women will be considered to be "spoils of war" to be dominated by true believing muslims

    Accept that their goal is to take over the planet and plan accordingly.

    Have a nice life.
