PM should be more shocked

NO AUSTRALIAN-BORN citizen, no migrant who loves Australia, can condone the Parramatta shooting by Farhad Jabar Khali Mohammad, a 15-year-old boy.
There can be no justification for attacks against the police force and police stations.
Attacks against police seem to have become a routine, though.
Last year two police officers were callously attacked at Endeavour Hills police station and last week a civilian police employee was brutally murdered at Parramatta police headquarters.
The motive appears to be the same – religious fanaticism and radicalism.
The police need our support because they are the representatives of law and order in our community. They constitute a rampart against any form of violence, public disturbances, riots, murders and acts of terrorism.
We should, therefore, all stand up to stop more brutal and unjustified attacks against the police from happening.
Otherwise, the situation in Australia might become similar to what we see every day in many other countries where only chaos and anarchy prevail.
I, for one, feel a bit disappointed by our Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s response to the Parramatta shooting.
He said the incident had been “a shocking crime” and a case of “cold blooded murder” but said it would be counter-productive if people rushed to blame Muslims Australians.
In the above statement, the Prime Minister seems to be more preoccupied with the idea of not offending Muslims Australians rather than with the security of all Australians and that of the police force.
As the Prime Minister of Australia, he should, instead, have issued a strong and firm warning of zero tolerance to anybody, whether Australian born or migrant, who would dare to attack the police force, irrespective of his cultural and ethnic background, religion or political affiliation.
It’s a pity, Mr Prime Minister, that the democracy, of which so many of us are proud, has many weaknesses.
Many fail to realise that Western civilisations and cultures are not only under threat, but are being constantly attacked by those who don’t share our values and Christian beliefs.
