yvonne,

The link you gave was worthless.

On the other hand the Gatestone Institute you disparage seems to have experienced editors and contributors of repute. Here is an example,

<Amir Taheri
Chairman, Gatestone Europe

Amir Taheri was born in Iran and educated in Tehran, London and Paris. From 1984 to 1987 he was editor-in-chief of Jeune Afrique, the French weekly specializing in Africa. Between 1980 and 1984 he was Middle East editor for the London Sunday Times. He also wrote for the daily Times and contributed to The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, and the Daily Mail among other leading British publications. Between 1972 and 1979 he was executive editor-in-chief of Kayhan, Iran's main daily newspaper. He has been a columnist for the pan-Arab daily Asharq Alawsat and its sister daily Arab News since 1987. Taheri has been a contributor to the International Herald Tribune since 1980. He has also written for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Newsday, and The Washington Post. Between 1989 and 1995 Taheri was editorial writer for the German daily Die Welt. He has also written for other publications including Der Spiegel, Die Zeit, Frankfurter Algemeine Zeitung, La Repubblica, L'Express, Politique Internationale, Le Nouvel Observateur, and El Mundo in Spain. Currently he is a contributor to the German weekly Focus. Taheri has published nine books. In 1988 Publishers' Weekly in New York chose his study of Islamist terrorism, Holy Terror, as one of The Best Books of The Year.>

'Can't vouch what happens in their own homes. I'm sure there would be habits or norms that would horrify other non-Runner Australians '

yep Yvonne son in med school, a daughter on the gravy train with Government and another who was married and home owner by 22 years of age. I am sure that their would be many who would love the fruit of this 'horrific'stuff Yvonne. Not to mention very happily married for 30 plus years. I suspect the man hating feminist would be a lot more toxic environment. But you never would let facts get in the way of your blindness would you Yvonne. Don't you hate what works and then moan immensenly about the fruit of the godless blaming everyone but yourself.

@Yvonne,
<<SPQR, Runner, for example, would insist that his children marry somebody of his particular brand of Christianity too. >>
Maybe, but how do you think the lefterati would respond to such? Look, you don’t even have to guess --observe how our own OLO Lefteratus , Poirot dumps on poor Runner!

On the other hand, if a local mullah were to insisted that every one of the four women he marries must be Muslim –and must clearly declare so on their centrelink entitlements card --Poirot would not raise a whimper . And as Runner himself observed (ala Aborigines) the ABC would probably laud him for preserving his culture.

It is obvious to any who watch that Muslim terrorists are very good at sorting out the Poirots of this world. I wonder if they would use a gun, a knife, or a bit of broken glass?

It is also fortunate that they have proven very good at fighting unarmed men & women, but fall apart when they get a real fight. They have also excelled in shooting in the air. Perhaps it makes them feel tough.

Unfortunately for them, real Ozzies are a little tougher. I think our Muslim "friends" will find it a little different here to the middle east, when they try their luck, which they undoubtedly will. They are unlikely to find us surrendering, & lining up to be shot in the back of the head.

Hasbeen,

Only Muslims?

Why just last week we witnessed terrified, unarmed and defenceless children, women and men being chased up and down the streets of Gaza by a regime armed with first world advanced weaponry.

Women, kids and old folk cowering in UN designated safe areas - schools and hospitals - were blasted to bits.

It wasn't Muslims firing those weapons at civilians.

The bleak side of humanity strikes again.

Errr Poirot, as to why those <<unarmed and defenceless children, women>> are in a war zone, this might help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gtg1pjnEW2c&feature=related

Though, I suspect it will be a complete waste of time referring you to such. Since you have shown yourself to have very much a one-track mind --and one that's non-re-writable to boot.
