[Magdalen] Siege in Sydney

[Claudine Chionh]

Cue the increase in alarmism from our politicians and general
Islamophobia. It now seems more accurate to describe the perpetrator as
an unhinged individual who had murdered his wife and has a history of
violence against other women, and who was also attracted to the message
of ISIS - but many commentators are only picking up on the Islam angle.
I made that mistake in my first post here.
