Col,
I must say I have found something else to agree with you on, incredible is it not. You state Newspapers are not confined to good taste, I would have to agree mate, they publish your letters, how much bad taste is that...

1. Was not attacking ordinary Aussies - included myself in the mix (see above)

2. Where is your evidence that Australia doesn't have a water shortage problem? - still on water rations where I live.

3. Confess to being facetious about topic. Reason for this is our Australian freedom of speech has already been castrated via Howard's sedition Laws and Bracks religious vilification laws.

4. I still believe a clean sustainable environment is more important than cartoons. Although I do make an exception for Phantom comics - the Phantom is my hero.

5. Do you not see this as an opportunity for the Muslim community to rise above the crass and show the world they aren't so easily threatened - as Irfan has done and Salam has failed to do?

The attack by the Muslim world on the cartoons is like the pot calling the kettle black. See http://www.adl.org/main_Arab_World/asam_jul_dec_saudi_arabia_2005.htm where there are anti semitic cartoons.

A balanced article on the Danish cartoons is at http://www.beliefnet.com/story/185/story_18501_1.html

Scout, (or should we call you blondie now)

I have been ignoring your ridiculous comments and will probably continue to do so - but don't insult my Christ and expect us to smile at your ignorant remarks.

You seem to be swept away by islamic "grace" the likes of FH and Irf, no wonder you can't get your priorities right. And that's not a blonde joke in case you don't know the difference.

Love, Coach

On a serious note:

I Agree with GZ Tan – never to trust a muslim. They all have one objective and that is to eliminate anything non-islamic.

CARTOONS - WHY OFFENSIVE?

Any image of Deity is not Islamic and too sacred to be portrayed by human hands. That leads us to the question:

IS MOHAMMED DIVINE?

A while ago there was a recall and due apologies from two giants: Coke and Nike because some of their symbols when viewed upside down and read from right to left could resemble the word allah or something. Get the idea?

I think the muslims today are so strung-up that any excuse will do to riot, kill, burn, and pillage.

After all that is the example and the legacy left behind by their self-proclaimed prophet, founder of islam, and author of the Qur’an.

Beware of the wolves in sheep clothes.

In response to this article, I find the author's comments almost as backwards and ridiculous as her religion. I have spent 23 years in the US Army with 4 of those years in the godforsaken hell-hole called the Middle East. It is impossible for me to understand how A so-called religious society can undertake terrorist activities against other free nations in the name of "Islam" murdering, terrorizing, and attempting to force their pathetic beliefs on free societies. I did my share in "eliminating" this attack against free nations way of life, and now it is time for the West to show these heathens that nothing will change our way of life. Furthermore if Muslims can't adapt and live by the laws of the adopted countries that so many of them call home, then they should drift back to the
desert and live in their squalor.

Skippy “How many abortion clinics were blown up?”
The National Abortion Federation (NAF) has been keeping track of violence against abortion providers. Their findings include:
Abortion Provider Violence Statistics:
• 7 Murders
• 17 Attempted Murders
• 41 Bombings
• 168 Arsons
• 82 Attempted Bombings/Arsons
• 373 Invasions
• 1048 Incidences of Vandalism
• 591 Incidences of Trespassing
• 125 Incidences of Assault and Battery
• 357 Death Threats
• 3 Kidnappings
• 76 Incidences of Burglary
Abortion Provider Disruption Statistics:
• 9790 Incidences of Hate Mail/Calls
• 578 Bomb Threats
• 68886 Incidences of Picketing
Abortion Provider Clinic Blockades:
• 686 Blockades
• 33830 Arrests
That is just USA and source http://womensissues.about.com/cs/abortionstats/a/aaaborviolstats.htm

Now what was your point?

Other than to confirm your agreement with me - That anti-abortionists have the same contempt for freedom as these rioting and hysterical Muslims and the dumb-ass morons who blockade cinemas because they do not want other people to make their own choice about what to watch.

SHONGA “they publish your letters, how much bad taste is that...”

Beware, you might get ‘hoisted on your own petard’ SHONGA but at least you would go out with a “bang” and not your usual “whimper”.
