Defining David Hicks : Comments

By Neil James, published 9/6/2006

Releasing David Hicks is not as easy and straightforward as it seems.

Yesterday John Howard said that he had no sympathy for David Hicks as someone who was affiliated with Al Quaida.

Natasha Stott-Despoija condemned Howard for passing judgement on Hicks before he has been found guilty of anything.

I rarely agree with Stott-Despoija but this time she is dead right, and Howard was grossly out of place.

It is a fundamental tenet of Australian law and indeed of democracy to treat people as innocent until proven guilty or shown to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This tenet is very highly compromised a lot of the time, but it is surely the duty of our Prime Minister to uphold it. He needs to be neutral with respect to Hicks, until guilt or innocence has been shown in a court of law.

And he must make sure that his strong negative leanings towards Hicks don’t lead to him not pushing as hard as he can for a trial to be held as soon as possible. The situation of very long detention without charge and then further very long detention without a trial is so grossly antidemocratic that Howard should be literally shoving it down Bush’s neck by now that the issue must be resolved as soon as possible.

Speaking Of

Right Royal Pricks and on this ocashion I am not refering to Howard i hope ASIO and our few Good men Get this.
When you read some of the Rubbish and anti west crap on the forum one might wonder which country we we in.
Sorry but you dont see the muslims world wide screaming out for justice or helping even one person of the west.

Mr Howard I hope you at least have details on these Anti Ausies. Mohamedad [hick the prick]wanted to support the stoneing of people especially women and the rape and murders.

Thats what he went to defend.

He is a prisoner of war and unless we are going to give every prisoner of war a court case I cant see why he should be any differently.

Howard is as entiled to express his personal feelings as anybody else. He did no more than what we have all been doing for weeks now.

If you want a federal case made out of it perhaps we the public should ask for a bill to be passed to piss you the traitors off like Jinks or lock them up along with Hicks[ah> Sorry Mohamedad].

We really MUST stop bringing this crap into our country because they are breeding here like rats. I suspect Jinks as being one of them.

The PM needs now to round up rubbish like u Jinks and P them off to a muslim Country where they will be more happy.

Good On Howard for Having the guts To do the right thing.

PM WHILE YOU ARE AT IT>TRY SAYING TO THEM> IF U WANT OUR MEAT U CAN BUY IT IN A BOX BECAUSE WE WANT OUR JOBS AND WE ARE NOT ENGAGING IN THIS BARBARIC CRUELTY ANOTHER MINUTE WHILE YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING.

Wow Wendy, you are so full of hate!

I knew some of the victims from 9 /11 and their families. They don't blame the entire religion of Islam, and neither do I.

I also taught a few of the kids who were in the Bali bomb. Again I was saddened and went off my food for a week and had to be force fed. I was overwhelmed by sadness.

I have protested before about the revenge attacks against the American soldiers. I am not against Australia or the US. You simply fail to comprehend what you read.

You say that you think I am on "center link" and I just love trash!

Wendy, it is spelt "Centrelink". You are wrong again, and you wouldn't have a clue would you? So are mean, full of hate, you probably don't care.

Now a casual teacher, I am actually a Santa: it fits in with "Medowbanking" in the NSW school system. No, I don't work for them fulltime. I have other jobs too: multi-skilled.

Yes I, as a Santa, have worked in Lakemba. The locals love Santa when I am there. Some of the Islamic kids are very shy about Santa, and it takes about 12 rounds before they approach the scary man in the costume. I welcome them as Santa always does, yet perplexed by their shyness.

They usually break down and cry. Why? Because they were told that Santa hates Islamic children by their christian friends at school. She was 5 years old Wendy!

Santa is timeless. Chritianity does not own Santa. I relay the message to those "friends" to have a Merry Christmas, be good for Ramadam or Hannika. Santa celebrates them all: the spirit of St. Nicholas.

Now you get the joke of "SaintFletcher". Santa loves ramadam and also celebrates for Mahamed, Buddha, Krishna, whoever too. Santa loves all children.

Your hate is futile. Have you been a good girl Wendy? What a sad little miser you are. Merry Christmas!

Saint Santa.
Some of my best friends are Muslim . If you cant understand I hate Anti Australian Attitude I cant help you.
I hate extream nuts who blow people up.
No actually I pity them.
What I really hate are these do godders who dont know the meaning of the word loyalty.
I am sick to death of them.
I work all day everyday by the way with Muslim People with the same good intentions i share.

I hate people coming over here trying to take control of our country.

I dont hate all the people.

There is good and bad amoung all races. See you on the street corner at Lakemba at Christmas.

I will be giving out free bundy and Cokes.

If anybody wants to complain thats a sin in this country to drink alcohol I would hate to hear that too.

Understand the meaning behind the word >is in the way its meant.

Here are my Muslim contacts .

My companys name is Halal Kind Meats. www.halakindmeats.com

Food for thought so to speak Santa.

Well the Bundy and Coke works for me Wendy. Maybe this is Cricket afterall. What can I say but give a jolly ho ho ho, as Santa tends to say. Cheers to the judicial system making the right decision, what ever that may be.

To Saint Santa

You can say you will lend a hand with my Muslim NFP Groups and Animal Welfare Groups . Whilst we have been blessed by great people such as Dr Ali of AFIC and many others of AFIC there is not enough movement in forming groups of Multi religion. This has! to be done and done quickly.
If the Government had got it right it would have been a number one cab off the rank. They are too many them and us! groups.

Everybody is always too busy .

Its no secret that I am also pushing the Animal Welfare Groups and Have pleaded to Animals Australia and Animal Liberation many times to work together to join us all Muslims and Ausies in Animal Welfare groups. Its about time they listended because if they want to continue to blame muslims for The Cruelty Of Live Exports nothing will ever be acheived to break down the barrier of lies told by the government and the MYTHS>
The Governments misleading the public and darn right right faulse information over the claiming muslims require animals live has not helped either as most Ausies wrongfully blame muslim People.

We must not let them change our country and we must stand up against extream idiots BUT we must also ALL of us get to know our neighbours.

If they WONT mix We send them back in a flash!

WE drink our bundy and most dont mind.

The ones who abuse Santa and The Bundy Lady Get deported with a kick up the arse.

Thank you Dr Ali Of AFIC .

Here is the Group we ask All muslim people to join. www.livexports.com.

Muslim people must also do there bit other than run clean up Australia Day.
Tell you what though> DR ALI of AFIC is miles! ahead Of Steve Feilding and Family First.

put Like That and It really Does Get one thinking.

Give Me DR Ali Of AFIC against family First anyday.

Oh and David Hicks is still A Dick.
