The son of murdered New South Wale police accountant Curtis Cheng has called for an end to political “scapegoating” of Muslims in Australia following last week’s speech by senator Fraser Anning calling for a ban on Muslim immigration.
Alpha Cheng’s father was shot in cold blood by a 15-year-old Muslim boy, Farhard Jabar, outside the NSW police headquarters in Parramatta in 2015. Two others were jailed for planning the attack and supplying the weapon.
But he said that was no reason to victimise a community.
“I am tired of needing to explain to adults that the actions of these individuals cannot be attributed to an entire group of people. If I, of all people, can think this way, then sure as hell our ‘elected’ representatives can think this way too,” Cheng wrote in an opinion piece in Fairfax Media.

for petes sake the people who become terrorists are from only a small section of Islam. They are not Shia for a start.

while that is true, it is a bit of a red herring. vast majority of Muslims are not Shia. it is considered a heresy among the hard core, a bit like how you Protestants think Catholics like Steve are idolators.
There actually is a big problem with Islam, recognising that doesn't mean painting all Muslims as terrorists. Mahathir in Malaysia recognises this and where it's coming from, hence his recent decision to shut down a Saudi financed centre
I agree with all that. It isn't hard to seek out potential terrorists.
