Why is it necessary to attack one religion to defend another, asks Salam Zreika
Maybe Julia Irwin attacked one religion to defend another but her arguement doesn’t hold water. Nevertheless Salam applauds her.

I would like to applaud Labor’s Julia Irwin for standing up and making statements on behalf of Muslims in Australia.

Pointing out that some ancient text supported and even advocated violence to the same extent as the Koran doesn’t support Muslims in Australia at all. It simply underlines the fact that Christians left that shit behind a millenium ago and some Muslim fanatics haven’t.

Haven’t noticed any Christians deliberately targeting woman and kids lately and then excusing themselves by saying “the Devil made me do it”….or “the Bible says I should pluck out a disbelievers eye” or whatever.

Salam again;

What bothers me the most is that most people would agree with Anglican minister David West at Woollahra when he says: “It is easy to characterise people by the actions of minority groups. Christian fundamentalism in its extreme forms does not represent mainstream Christian thinking” which, of course, is true.

Of course it’s true but it’s only half the truth. Christian fundamentalism does not represent mainstream Christian thinking – nor do they blow up Muslims. Muslim fundamentalism does not represent mainstream Muslim thinking but the difference is they blow up christians …Muslims…anyone.

Worse than this – I doubt there are any Christian clerics advocating their parishoners go and out and kill Muslims yet there are some Muslim clerics in Australia who are advocating the reverse.

I think Salam Zreika might first agitate to get the errant Muslim clerics to shut up before he tells us to. Very few Australians would blame all Muslims but the problem is within the Muslim society, not with us Christians so start there Salam and good luck. The new anti-terror laws will help the country to rid us of these extremists and I suggest all your efforts should be targeting your own portion of society, not ours.

Now that the ACTU/ALP commentariat have predicatbly lost the IR battle they now attack the sedition laws. At larvatusprodeo Mark tries to build a case for the government to arrest him because he’s buying and reading anarchist books and in so doing is financially supporting sedition.

The Sedition Laws have been in existance longer than most Left wing Howard haters have and this is the first time in all those years that the Left feel they propose a threat.

To answer your stupid question – no Mark, you will not be arrested for buying stupid anarchist books. What you have to do is publically encourage people to take over the government by violent means; to encourage or teach terrorist to blow up Parliament House or the Sydney Harbour Bridge. You need to do something like go overseas and complete a terrorist course on explosions and suicide bombing and then return to Australia and try and conduct a terrorist mission.

The country and it’s policing agencies are well used to the Left wing’s pathetic posturing on these matters and treat them with the ignore they deserve.

The Left’s issue about free speach is a non issue. Laws already exist that limit free speach; It’s OK to dissent, to call Howard a war monger, or in my case, Whiltam a fool . That’s OK but as soons as I threaten to kill Whitlam it’s not.

In the meantime, inspite of this pathetic posturing, the Sedition Laws will be maintained and ASIO et al will be able to lock up terrorists prior to their blowing up Australian citizens.

Like the IR laws guys, the new Anti-Terror bill is going to become law and as a result, Australia will be a better and safer place.

From the BBC. Pakistan says a top al-Qaeda commander has been killed in the country’s tribal belt along the Afghan border.

MSNBC reports that bringing Hamza Rabia to justice was a CIA operation

Good stuff.
