If you stratified the data on terrorist ideology by sect, would Wahhabism by the underlying confounder, rather than Islam?
Islam explicitly advocates for violent Jihad. Countries like Australia should deal with terrorism as a policing and arts/culture issue, than a military problem. In fact, having no military might be in our best interest. There are a number of nations in the world with no militaries, some in particular unstable and criminal parts of the world, like Costa Rica, which don’t have any military issues, as far as I know. In fact, it would seem that the best defence is no defence, assuming the stable implementation of military law, which is probably predicated on policing nations like the USA intervening elsewhere. Logic summarised here. I don’t expect much from politicians anyway. Everyone from healthcare administrators don’t act in evidence based ways to the military don’t respect the truth, it seems that it takes the somewhat autistic utilitarianism of Lesswrongers for that kind of pedantism.
