P I love your turn of phrase.[sonofgloin]"

Whaaaaaat?

That is a "turn of phrase"!

More like a series of animal noises or maybe it's just WesternAustralianese!

Yvonne,
Sure plenty of Moslems were shocked by 9/11 and made comments against
the perpetrators.
They were concerned and afraid of a backlash.
However nothing was done to stop further acts. It had all the sounds of tut tutting.
Then followed by protests about the invasion of Afghanistan.
What on earth did they expect ?

Somehow to me the words against the 9/11, the 7/7, the embassy
bombings and Bali, etc etc seemed half hearted and just words.
Why didn't any Moslem country take part in attacking the Taliban ?

You don't even need to answer that.

Poirot, I'm not identifying people by their religion, I'm identifying that while ever this religion exists, there will always be terrorists who also feed from it, simply because even their own leaders can't find a way to stop these types from drawing their violence from within the religion.

In my view there are two ways to fix a problem, one, you draw people away from something, or two, you remove the cause, which in this case is the religion.

Despite our governmentS pleas to the Australian muslim leaders, way one hasn't worked.

Rehctub>>because even their own leaders can't find a way to stop these types from drawing their violence from within the religion.<<

Butch the Australian Grand Mufti Professor Ibrahim Abu Mohamed said "If it wasn't for our effort, there could have been 1500, not 150 fighters in Syria”

This is the same Grand Mufti who last week along with the Australian National Imams Council staged a protest over the Government's new anti-terror measures by not attending the annual Federal Police dinner marking the Eid religious festival.

Thanks for nothing chief............

As Spindoc said, “I prefer to call them inactive Muslims. Just little bit of squeeze and intimidation and they will be activated.”

I have never before painted any group with one brush.........but I am looking at all Muslims as a present or future adversary..........I am now looking at them as they and their fooked religion look at me.

Bazz>>Sure plenty of Moslems were shocked by 9/11 and made comments against the perpetrators<<

Bazz 9/11 stinks....If I was Muslim I would not be appologizing over that one....

Argghhh, not another Arjay !
