Interesting TarynW - What do you think of the 'flyers' (dealing with Muslims and mosques) in the seat of Lyndsay?

I hope I haven't misjudged you like you infer you may have of Belly - quite amazing.

Dear Belly,

I meant to add - that yes, it is well past time for our Prime Minister to say , "Sorry." Saying that word will not denigrate the story of white Australia. It will simply acknowledge Aboriginal suffering. Their's is a history that must be acknowledged. And Thank Goodness that we have a PM who is prepared to do so.

In contrast to any other democracy, the participation of the Prime Minister (Howard) in the past, had given the denial campaign significance and popular profile. It is the equivalent of the President of the United States questioning the truth of slavery.

Howard gave a certain respectability to his group's attack on the report 'Bringing Them Home,' whose testimony they described as part of a hoax, a monument to 'false memory syndrome.'

Giving an airing by windbag-columnists and those who inhabit the netherworld of radio-talk-back bigotry, their denial of genocide has celebrated the work of second-rate academics, including one who made the astonishing claim that frontier killings could not possibly have taken place 'because most colonists were Christian to whom such actions were abhorrent.' Tell that to the native peoples of the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia.

Let me say no one in the thread has upset me, every post is of interest.
Now we are free, the fact the thread got started tells us that, to have our own views at least here.
CJ Morgan it was to highlight views like yours, ones I most times share but not always, that any concerns about Islam or a race other than ours is seen by some as racism.
Not so never, my hopes for our suffering Aboriginals is honest, I demand this country fix the problems.
But I question the commitment of some from within that community to fix anything.
Dislike me if you wish, but radical Islamists who Dennie females freedom and equality are my enemy's, once the left would have proudly stood along side me for those issues.
Saudi Arabia? I trust them not one bit more than Bush.
Sudan? one day maybe far less than a century away we will need to confront the element that controls these people, I have no respect for mind control , that relies on wrong education even no education to rule, but our best hope is the Muslim world will take the problem away.
I went without food to donate for the Tsunami appeal, true 3 5ths of that weeks wages but within months simple cartoons, not much at all saw some idiots within the Muslim community call for the death of all Westerners?
Sorry, why hide it? why hide behind a PC blanket? some who think like that are no friends of mine.

Belly

What do you think of TarynW's posts?

Hiding my head under a blanket about those posts, in truth Dogs are my mates.
I could never name one after any God, and while unwilling to take a backward step in debate I rarely do so if it is not needed.
Back however to Sudan, some of those who arranged the demonstration, and some of those who marched have the IQ of an egg.
If the family Camel leaves home in some of those homes the average IQ will drop 50 points.
And anyone care to tell me they are not the enemy's of any western country?
However it is also true every time such primitive backward inhuman actions take place some leave that religion.
Expect no landslide it never will be one, but in time the more moderate may stop the rush back to the caves from the worst extremist element.
How cute it is that so many of us do not find these issues from that part of the world are driven by racism, and bigotry.
By the way my little dog is ok and has more freedom than some women in some parts of the world.

11 years ago I named my brash young puppy Hud, from the Paul Newman movie.

About 7 years ago I developed a good relationship at work with a Moslem until he discovered the name of my dog. Thereafter every conversation began with the question 'have I renamed my dog yet'?

I subsequently learned that Hud, who had no more than a bit part in the Bible had won a lead role in the Koran.

My solution was to keep calling Hud Hud and to fib to Sam.
