I have seen enough in the last few years to know that there are no moderates.

Once again, Irfan ruins another opportunity to strike a blow for those Muslims who are progressive, but he fails.

How dare there have been no protest when the filthy Sheik Feiz said that "unveiled women deserve to be raped", why didn't you protest?

Australians are doers Irfan, not talkers. We built this nation up to a first world place in one hundred years, while your two thousand year old nations are still backwater dumps.

I can't wait until western scientists come up with another invention and smash our dependence on evil oil.

Then, the middle-east will become what they were always destined for, another Africa.

The ONLY reason the Muslim problem is even an issue is because leftists are racist (yes leftists) becaue instead of thinking of them as humans, they consider them pets who aren't to blame for their evils. We are!

When this nonsense goes, which it is coming to soon, we will deal with the Islamic clerics themselves, as the "moderates", you Irfan, you, have done nothing.

Some post above said it all really, "Radical Muslims kill, moderates make excuses" .

Spot on whoever it was.

Irfan, where do you stand on the barbaric, utterly disgusting, incompatible with human civilisation, sharia law?

To the person who was asking q's about Islam, don't believe some of the answers you got. You need to know the truth, read the most hateful book on earth, the Koran.

Gosh! Why does every essay end up being debated in terms of race / ethnicity.

The origninal article was a sober assessment of Australian Aid programs - to countries such as pacific islands - and the commentaries end up being angry diatribes about Muslim clerics!

Look guys, we understand that you have very big chips on your shoulders, but there is another world out there.

I half expect an essay on the virtues of toothpaste to end up being attacked for its perceived radical Muslim overtones.

Trevor Flugge was awarded the Order of Australia for 'service to Agriculture'. He is a typical representative of the middle men in agri business, and they are overwhelmingly male, that are getting fat on skimming of the proceeds of the sales of Australian wheat.

Wheat growers might say that Mr Flugge and AWB just did what I takes to get a good price for our wheat and if AWB make a profit it goes back to the shareholders i.e. the wheat growers.

Mr Flugge seems to hold the view that what is good for Mr Flugge is good for Australia and the Australian Government seems to agree since they awarded him a million dollar contract for what has been revealed in the Cole inquiry was very little work.

At the same time these middlemen are holding back real innovation in Australian agriculture that is bringing us starch modified low GI wheat, resveratrol containing slim wheat by their unwillingness to invest in our agbiotech future and their blocking of new technologies being introduced in Australian agriculture.

AWB was against the release of GM canola and one of the most influencial agribusinesses that persuaded State Governments to introduce the present State moratoria on the cultivation of GM canola and GM wheat.
