I thought the following was a powerful response to the recent attack in Paris and would be appreciated by Avalonians.

A powerful video of Waleed Aly outlining strategies to stop Isis in the wake of the Paris attacks has drawn more than 10 million viewers.
Aly, one of the hosts on Channel 10's The Project, has become renowned for his editorials at the end of the show. On yesterday’s program he focused on the aftermath of the attacks in France which left 129 people dead.
“Isil’s weak,” Aly began, “I know it doesn’t look like that now, but it’s the truth. And they don’t want you to know it, which is why it’s something we should talk about.”
Aly outlined how Isis took credit for every attack, including those planned without any co-ordination from the group, such as the Sydney siege, “so that they appear bigger and tougher than they actually are”.
“But Isil don’t want you to know that. How do I know? Because Isil told us they don’t want you to know that in their monthly magazine”.
“Isil don’t want you to know they would quickly be crushed if they ever faced a proper army on a real battlefield. They want you to fear them.
“Isil’s strategy is to split the world into two camps, it’s that black and white.”
He said “they want countries like ours to reject their Musilms and vilify them”, before cutting to a clip of Pauline Hanson speaking in an interview.
The video ends with a riposte to members of parliament who are “preaching hate”.
“I am angry at these terrorists. I’m sickened by the violence, and I’m crushed for the families that have been left behind. But you know what, I won’t be manipulated. We all need to come together.
“It’s exactly what Isil doesn’t want. So if you’re a member of parliament, or a has-been member of parliament preaching hate at a time when what we actually need is more love, you’re helping Isil.
“I’m pretty sure that right now, none of us wants to help these bastards.”
