What Isn't Burning

As we try to decide whether France is burning over discrimination or jihadi hatred, it would be good to remember that we've had a defensive success in Australia:

Two Islamic terrorist cells were competing to become the first to stage a major bombing in Australia, a prosecutor said Tuesday after police arrested 17 suspects in a series of coordinated pre-dawn raids in two cities.

I draw no satisfaction from weepy "we're all [insert latest jihadi victims of mass casualty attack here] now" sentiment after the enemy manages to kill several score or thousand victims.

Australia remains on the offensive as part of the Western team and has scored a big defensive success as well. Contrast this to France where they refuse to join the offensive in an effort to suck up to the jihadis and get mass Moslem riots for their troubles.

Way to go, Aussies.
