Two words guaranteed to strike fear into everyone’s heart
What happened at Charlie Hebdo is etched forever in the nation’s consciousness. The terrorist attack at the Lindt Café in Australia is another attack that will never be forgotten. My newsfeed now daily not weekly contains the details of yet another terrorist attack somewhere in the Western world. There are now too many to report on. I actually wondered if the latest one would even be covered by our media because they have become so common and we have already become desensitised to them.
As is common with media coverage of these attacks the headline gives no clue that this is yet another Islam-related attack. Despite the headline doing its best to steer us away from the truth the sheer number of these lone wolf attacks has educated even the most naive of readers. If a man ran towards us yelling “God is the greatest” none of us would flinch but if a man ran towards us yelling, “Allahu Akbar” every single one of us would react immediately. This is not because we’re racist or Islamophobic. It is because story after story after story of attacks on individuals or groups involves a man yelling, “Allahu Akbar”. Even if we were stupid enough to believe that these are lone wolf attacks by mentally ill people that have nothing to do with Islam, all of us, conservatives and liberals alike know that the words,”Allahu Akbar” signal that something terrible is about to happen.

If you agree with me that’s nice, but what I really want to achieve is to make you question the status quo, look between the lines and do your own research. Do not be a passive observer in this game we call life.
