Ruawake fears us scary OLO posters, which only confirms my earlier comments…

As for Islamic fundamentalists holding no concerns for him…get-a-grip-on-reality…I had a friend who was from a fundamentalist Islamic family and born here, she met an Australian man who wasn’t Islamic. Her brothers tried to burn down her house…with her in it, three times…the couple left the district and severed all connections to start afresh elsewhere. …but you have nothing to fear ruawake, because the fairies at the bottom of your garden keep telling you it’s the #*+%@ facists causing all the trouble…of course, everyone except you leftists and terrorists is a facist, isn’t that right? Terrorism is even justified and accepted by some of the leftist posters who suggest it is ok to lose some lives to terrorists…it seems the end justifies the means when you’re the right political colour.

How about Chinese Falun Gong practitioners...butchered for body parts...?

Why trust the legal fraternity any more than the pollies…(including escapees from the legal ‘profession’ across all parties in all parliaments) There’s a pretty putrid core in that lot too…some of their habits have been found wanting in recent years also.

Red Fairy?…an escapee from Alice’s tea party perhaps? …or another red-flag leftist to boot?
Jean Charles de Menezes’ death was a tragedy, no-less-than-the-thousands-who-die-daily-from-atrocities-perpetrated-around-the-world.-deliberately-designed-to-kill-innocents…from terrorism, from leftist regimes who live by the Orwellian principles of equality. “we are all equal, but some are more equal than others…”

…but get a grip on reality, if you seriously feel you have less freedom to speak out here, then why stay…go to your leftist Nirvana…

and the same applies to Dr Haneef…

… why did he want to come here…alone? Why did he leave his pregnant wife? Surely the need for doctors is greater in his native India so if he’s seriously distressed about his two weeks at her majesty’s leisure…and his visa cancellation...stay with his wife!

How loud did you lot bleet for other innocents who were unfairly incarcerated in recent years or decades…?

…still no answers?

Paul and Meg

Thank you for proving my point. When you tell a fellow citizen to leave the country your true motives are displayed.

Terrorism has been around for centuries, anyone remember Guy Fawkes that good catholic lad? Terrorism is perpetrated by fanatical lunatics, people who see others as different, people like you.

In earlier posts some have used passages from Niemöller.
(What is it they say about generals planning for yesterdays wars?)

If Niemöller was writing today, he’d probably need to express things a little differently-perhaps as follows:

When the police took John Doe into custody,
I spoke up-citing presumption of innocence

When police produced evidence John Doe had communed with terrorists ,
I spoke up -citing his right to freedom of association.

When John Doe was found with bomb making equipment,
I spoke up- citing it as an example of racial profiling & victimisation, & had the case dismissed.

But, when John Doe blew-up Central Railway Station killing hundreds -I was a home in my high security mansion sipping chardonnay, listening to Mahler -I said nothing - I am above counselling widows & orphans

How many people posting on this forum have even one cousin in the family who is a terrorist? How many have more that one? I don't. And I also don't know anyone who does. That's enough suspicion for me to withold his visa.

Dr Haneef, go home and stay there. There are literally MILLIONS of poor Indians that don't have proper access to a doctor. They line up for hours to see a doctor for maybe 2 minutes. The Indian doctors rip them off as much as possible and laugh behind there backs. I am a doctor and have been told this by a few Indian colleagues. We don't need these filthy cultures in Australia.

To this message is for those who keep on attacking other people because of their views on Dr Haneef.

Base on what has been presented in his case, yes he visa should have been cancel.

Would you be happy if your Visa were cancel on the following grounds:
1. A member of your family was a member of a terrorist group.
2. You had no knowledge nor your family of his involvement with such groups.
3. You were not a member nor supportive of such a groups.

Would you?

As for the attacks on people of the Islamic Faith, well this put you in the same group as those who suported Hilter. Kill them because of their religous beliefs.

In answer to your question about the cancellation of my visa for the points 1,2 and 3.
No I would not be happy. However I could quite UNDERSTAND it, if another country wanted to keep me out because members of my family have committed terrorist acts. Why don't you blame his family members who committed the crimes.
There are many examples of situations that people are not happy about, however that does not mean the situation should be reversed.
I am not happy that I have to pay more taxes to pay for the hospital costs of people who continue to smoke.
You see, Happy has nothing to do with it. Reason does.
