According to a news article, http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/muslim-duos-refusal-to-stand-is-a-slur-on-court/story-fni0cx12-1227137565328?sv=a3642a7674f262a0a2b73d499571ce0b

Two persons refused to stand for the judge in a district court.

Apparently the matter has bee referred to the Attorney General, but will likely go unpunished or sentence served concurrently with other penalty.

As the only penalty option seems to be jail, what should be done in cases like this that are clearly contempt of court. These persons have no respect for us, our laws or our judiciary.

Unfortunately, it again reflects badly on one section of our community.

Politically correct wimps, my guess is nothing will happen to them.

This has happened before maybe a year or so ago.

Unfortunately I cannot say "Good on them" because they are, likely, ordinary criminals, thieves and burglars who cause great pain to others, showing total disregard to God and Allah.

If the accusation is correct, then their proper punishment should be to cut off their hand, so they cannot break in and steal again. If they are as religious as they claim, then surely they will appreciate this correction.

In the very unlikely case that the accusations are false, then I could have considered the one who kept sitting a hero, except that I also read this bit about them rudely and inappropriately laughing and talking: A true saintly person with similar beliefs should have remained QUIETLY seated under those circumstances and not reply to the judge even with one word.

Wolly B,

"What would happen if a christian disobeyed and showed disrespect to their beliefs customs?"

I'm sure they'd warrant a WhackaChristian thread on OLO - NOT.

I would like to comment, but my principles do not allow comment on anything from the Murdoch Gutter Press. Particularly The Daily Telecrap
Poirot spot on again. Did you read about the two 'Christians' who bashed an 86 year old pensioner the other day and stole his pension. Should be some comment on the Wakachristian thread or in the Daily Telecrap about that one will they be calling for another crucifixion?
All criminals should be dealt with according to law, does the lynch mob have any problem with that?
