I’m sure when terrorist do gain entry to a country they list it as their reason for visiting on their visa applications. “Here to do a terrorism, give visa pls”.

There was a vehicle that ploughed into pedestrians near parliament with the motive determined as terrorism… in the UK? That’s the only thing I can think of.

There were two incidents of pedestrians being deliberately killed in Melbourne back in 2017 but neither were terrorist (both mental health and drug issues)

Probably the Dec 2017 one who was an Afghan refugee. 1 dead and 17 injured.

Rich developed, currently involved in a racist genocide countries, you meant. That is correct. Those people should not be permitted to enter any civilized country and should all be on a terrorism watchlist.

Any person that commits war crimes is denied, being from a rich developed country is not a part of the decision.

Try not being a war criminal, and then you won’t be stopped by the anti war criminal laws.

Australia has had, including perpetrators, 17 total deaths from terrorism in history. The worst of which resulted in 6 deaths(3 perpetrators) and that was a Christian extremist group and a shooting. No terror attacks have been committed involving a car running people over, however the 2018 Melbourne Stabbing involved the perpetrator setting his car on fire prior to the attack. (The attack was likely inspired by ISIS, however it was triggered by mental health issues.)

In other words, you’re full of shit and should fuck off and rethink your life you racist little twerp.

(Note that this does exclude the large amounts of massacres against first nations people, which were far larger and were often intended to invoke terror.)

I wish all Internet discussions went like this post

  • facts easy to check
  • take no bullshit
  • punch Nazi and other types of racists and bigots in the face
