ISLAMISTS ARE JUST WAITING TO STRIKE DEEP IN THE HEART OF EUROPE

Right now, there are hundreds of jihadists hiding somewhere in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, which is not a very big country at all.

A very small area indeed to have all these deranged Islamists lurking in the shadows, ready and willing to pounce without warning and carry out another terrorist attack or attacks on the same horrific scale as what took place in Paris two weeks ago.

They aim to wreak havoc and misery upon not only Belgium, which sad to say they seem to have almost "taken over" in recent years, but in time the whole of Europe as well. 

At this point in time, it would be hysterical, sensationalist, even bordering on the paranoiac, to suggest that an ultra-minority bandwagon of Islamists will succeed in blanketing Europe in totalitarian Sharia Law and making it part of the global caliphate.

But if they're not eliminated very soon, Islamist extremism and terrorism will keep spreading its tentacles right across the world, and true freedom will be a thing of the past. The threat and spectre of terrorism will be a curse upon the world forevermore.

True Islam is not the problem, and western governments have to do everything possible to engage with Muslim leaders to make certain they're assured that true Islam is not "the target". 

The target of a zero tolerance crackdown by police and security agencies on a global united front against the distribution and promotion of Islamist propaganda.

Every western leader, including Malcolm Turnbull, must support such a radical, bi-lateral law enforcement purge of everything and anything that constitutes Islamism.

Besides that, as 19th century as it might seem, western governments must seek to impose mandatory life prison terms for anyone found guilty of not only carrying out a terrorist attack but planning one as well.

Jihadists want to die for the cause but there's no martyrdom attained for one of them if they're caught before they are able to kill others, so life in prison without parole might make these nutcases think twice.
