We should be generous with Afghanis

 Australia should be very generous with people fleeing Afghanistan. After all we are partly to blame for what is going on.

However the Defence Minister Peter Dutton has stated we should be very careful because son=[me could be terrorists. Should he be taken seriously? In a word no.

The Taliban are on the Stalinist side of Islam not the Trotskyist side i.e they are not internationalists. Neither did they do such things back when they were in power although they most certainly allowed other organisations to train would be terrorists. Given how eager they are for international recognition it is hard to envisage they would do either at present. Allow them offices etc but not training camps which are easy to detect.  Lastly the Taliban have been busily attempting top take over Afghanistan. They do not have the time nor the resources or for that matter the expertise to train terrorists. Until Afghanistan control is consolidated the opportunity cost to list one reason is too great.

Marl Willacy has written on why some interpreters changed sides and it wasn't to become terrrorists.

However I may be wrong what occurs if one or more would be terrorists slip in under the radar. Firstly they would be badly trained if at all. The next thing to know is badly educated would be terrorists are easy to detect by the security agencies. Lastly Afganis already here would recognise such people and inform on them.
