Muslims have nothing to do with terrorism. ISIS and terrorist organisations are the issue. Not Muslims

Democracy should be supported, neither religion or military should have power
@8DML7QD4yrs4Y
No country should be governed based on religion so the Muslim brotherhood should be stopped

I don't understand how this is at all relevant to Australian politics. Complex geopolitical issues warrant nuanced and extended discussion, not knee-jerk judgements. Foreign policy is not nearly as relevant as the observable fact that our government is set up not to benefit the people, but to enrich the powerful.
