I can see the matches between the Sharks and the Bulldogs having extra intensity next season. The NRL should be putting in a request for extra police and security now, lest things get out of hand.

Boaz David,
You always impress the forum (and humble me in particular) with how you can drive any article into “Islam bashing”. Even global warming is caused by us (we eat hot kebabs and substitute cold beer with hot tea and coffee…it must be us then!). Before Christmas holidays, can I suggest a relaxing couch and a specialist (and I don’t mean Alan Jones). Speaking of Alan Jones, did he break the new laws 'inciting violence against minorities" with this article? http://smh.com.au/news/national/oneway-radio-plays-by-its-own-rules/2005/12/12/1134236005956.html Interested in your opinion, you can be objective sometimes. PS: please have a word with coach and ‘coach’ him a bit, I noticed he is a "Boaz wannabe" Merry Christmas my brother in humanity and Jesus, Posted by Fellow_Human, Wednesday, 14 December 2005 9:56:14 AM

BOAZ_David haven't you missed the plot?
It makes as much sense for Australia to be involved in the middle east as it would for Australia to be involved in northern Ireland politics. It appears that despite the excesses of the regime of Saddam Hussein that life for most Iraqi's has become immeasurably harder. The situation that Iraqi's now face isn't going to be solved while there are foreign occupation forces in their country. Are the foreign occupation forces doing anything to solve the Sunni - Shia tensions? Getting back to Cronulla - there appears to be a gap between the racial harmony sentiments of newspaper columnists, the [successful] election campaining of the government and the sentiments of the person in the street. Witness the popularity of "Fat Pizza", even South Yarra matrons know who Claudia McPherson is. Posted by billie, Wednesday, 14 December 2005 9:58:29 AM

Leave Boaz David alone folks, he is entitled to his view.
This to me has F%$k all to do with religion. It is about a group of smartasses that just happen to be of middle eastern decent, majority probably christian if they are Lebo. I think it was too much Sunday, with Aussies carrying on like this, but this is the first time in living memory that the majority got angry, no wonder they were misguided and revved up on the day. Most have had enough, and who can blame them? The revenge attacks and the pure dusgusting reprisals by these extreme middle eastern youths shows the demeaner of these people, who are quick to grab numbers of middle eastern brothers to help them in revenge., and hurt people in their own homes. Imagine if Aussies went into lakemba smashing, bashing and threatening to rape(remembering that the Aussies were only there to protect their suburb, not invade anyone elses)middle eastern women. It shows that if they want to be clicky as a culture and detach themselves from Australians, they feel they are superior now that after being a persecuted race for so long they come here and are not, so they then only know how to persecute in return. In their own country, they damage their own people. Why dont these youths hang outin Lakemba on the weekend and do what they do to their own locals? because Lakemba is crap, just like Beirut, and just like anywhere else they occupy. I am sorry, i never thought i would have a comment like that, but disprove me please someone for my own sanity. I am not racist, but these smartasses are like a plague who are threatening our envied way of life. Round them up and be tough for once. Posted by Realist, Wednesday, 14 December 2005 10:17:32 AM

Boaz,
I'll comment as often as I please. Who are you to tell me I can't? The website is called "Online Opinion", not "Online Boaz Propaganda". Posted by joana, Wednesday, 14 December 2005 12:31:02 PM

Are you an 'ordinary' white australian? Define ordinary.
What is the 'identity' young people need to reclaim?
What does "self deprecating" mean ?
I arrived in this country by boat, does this make me different?
I like VB, I like Merlot, and I like a beaut Donar Kebab. I used to drive a HQ 1 ton ute (price of petrol killed that).
Am I ordinary?, no different!
