Mickijo, it appears you are in denial.

The majority of victims of terror are themselves of Muslim background. That was and remains the case in Bali, Iraq and just about everywhere else.

During the first Bali bombing, two of the Australian victims were of Turkish Muslim background. If you regard Turkish Muslim Australians as being less Australian, please say so.

I am the last person you should be accusing of pandering to the Left. If you provide an address, I can send you a copy of a letter I received from Tony Abbott thanking me for handing out "how to vote" cards for him at the last election.

I guess the great thing about prejudice is that it doesn't use up alot of brain cells.

Prior to 11/9/2001 who carried out the most deadly terrorist attack in US history? Timothy McVey, a home grown US terrorist.

Who carried out the most lethal terrorist attack on Austtalian soil - the Hilton bombing of 1978? Well no seems to be certain, but no-one blames Islamics.

Who carried out the most lethal series of terrorist attacks in the United Kingdom? Well, you would not be wrong if you said the "Catholic" IRA. 467 deaths (on all three sides) in 1972 alone. And Bobby Sands and the other 9 hunger strikers who starved themselves to death in Bogside prison are not too far removed from the idea of a suicide bomber.

Who carried out a bombing attack in New Zealand in 1985 (Rainbow Warrior) well, it wasn't Islamics - it was the French.

Who has carried out numerous suicide bombing attacks in Sri Lanka nd India? You would be wrong if you said Islamics.

Who has carried out the most terrorist attacks in Spain? No, not Islamics, but good white European Basques.

Who carried out the first major terrorist attack in Palestine? Well, it was not Islamics, try the bombing of the King George Hotel in 1946 with 91 people killed...

Terrorists come in all shapes and forms, but these laws are not going to stop them. But they will impinge on the freedoms of everyone.

Well Irfan, here we have actual proof (via posts) that so called 'ordinary Australians' - if armed with a gun - would shoot someone they consider not to be an ordinary Australian simply on looks and skin color.

Hypothetical-

Bang, Bang, Bang,

Suspect down.

What's this? Her ID says that she's a specialist surgeon in a children's hospital.

"Bugger me, she wasn't a terrorist after all' oh well, better luck next time boys and girls".

Press release:

We regret that due a glitch in our intelligence, Dr Massima Abdul was accidently shot as she was running back to her surgery to attend to an emergency case.

Facinating that Leigh thinks that "ordinary Australians" are "Anglomorphs, Europeans, people who look like the PM and his wife, but not Aborigines".

Undoubtedly, s/he is an "ordinary Australian" under his/her definition. I've noticed from Leigh's other comments that s/he likes to express other "ordinary" Australian sentiments that are, if not outright racist, then certainly xenophobic.

Irfan Yusuf probably considers himself an ordinary Australian, as do I. On the basis of the intolerant opinions that s/he spouts in these forums, I think that Leigh is a "very ordinary" Australian.
