"A Terrorist Ideology": For a 24-Minute TV Debate on Australia's Bondi Beach Massacre, It Takes 10 Minutes Before Mentioning the Fact that the Terrorists Are Muslim

Late on Sunday night, Isaac Barchichat joined an LCI discussion group for a 2-hour TV debate regarding the latest news reports. 

Prior to the ROF vice-president joining the guests on Darius Rochebin's TV show (from 1:13:07 to 1:54:17), the group discussed such things as the Bondi beach terrorist attacks (0:05) along with the Ukraine war and the Berlin summit (24:36).

Regarding the 24 minutes devoted to the Bondi Beach attack: Not until ten minutes in does somebody mention that the two shooters are Muslim (10:00). Prior to that, everybody was blabbering about the father-son combo, Neo-Nazi right-wingers, and "a terrorist ideology" in which "individuals are submerged" (9:44, sounds quite like Ilhan Omar describing 9-11 as the day that "some people did something"), while the existence of guns and gun rights were, needless to say, condemned. And when the subject of Islam is finally breached, it's by two guests feeling the need to state that "Muslims are the primary victims" of Islamist violence.

Here's Paul Reen's reaction to the full two-hour show: after appearing at the 1:13:07 mark,

Isaac … does a great job of framing the argument in support of Trumps peace-through-strength efforts and how Europe has no effective leader and continues to act in an unserious manner to end the war. 

The usual Trump skeptics on the set had no choice but to agree with him. When Fenwick complains about Trump considering lifting the ban on underground nuclear tests, Isaac then hits them with the truth, that Trump's strength is a reflection of Europe’s leaderless weakness and also will no longer be Europe's protector. This reality scares them and they have to state that they don’t want US to be their “boss” but Isaac reminds them that the head of NATO still calls Trump "Daddy" — that was hilarious. He continued to defend Trump's view of Europe in his Securuty Strategy memo discussed at the end of the show. Bravo Isaac!

(for those that can stand to listen, the first part of the show talks about Sydney and notice that it takes them a full 10-12 min before they’re able to even say the word « Muslims ». Before then they even mention white supremacist threats to the Jewish and of course the problem of guns).
