If the shoe fits, wear it

This is why I love free speech and an open society. The article from The Oz is written by Uthman Badar, the media representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Australia. You may judge for yourself whether he makes his case. The title is Finger points at Islam every time and this was his central point:

It is the establishment, then, and mainstream media that shamelessly milk attacks such as the Parramatta shooting, creating political and social hysteria to justify foreign and domestic interventions that only further besiege an entire community, feed the anger of its youth and perpetuate the cycle of violence.

But do read it all. And then when you’ve read that, read the one that sits on the page next to it by Jennifer Oriel: Known wolves pose huge threat.

Australia’s new security measures must move beyond the comforting lone-wolf myth to address the discomfiting reality that jihadism is an organised crime arising from networks of Islamist terrorists.

That was the opening sentence. You can go on from there for yourself.
