SAVE US
Yamin Zakaria says Australia, not Iraq, requires liberation:
Recently a young Aboriginal boy was killed by the police, which sparked a riot. People then began to put up posters with photos of police. They read as follows - "Wanted - Child Murderers. There is gang of child killers operating in the Redfern area …… They are serial killers and will reoffend." Such posters would have been equally if not more suitable in Fallujah, Jenin, Gaza, and Baghdad.
Read the whole piece for instruction on building an ... err ... utterly compelling, watertight argument. Meanwhile, in NRO, MEMRI executive director Steven Stalinsky reviews the performance of Australia’s Grand Mufti.
Posted by Tim Blair at May 6, 2004 12:29 PMIt's a shame that Yamin Zakaria hasn't let too many facts get in the way of his/her report.
If Aus chucks out the Mufti of Lakema, who will replace him? After all, it's OK to lie to and cheat infidels.

Posted by: TimT at May 6, 2004 at 01:16 PMFuck em. Everything here in one nutty paranoid
viewpoint. Amerikka, oil,Jews,racists.
These fucks will continue to fall behind while
they continue to blame everyone else for their
problems.
Maybe it's Allah's will.
It's also interesting it's written from London
and not fucking Mecca.
Check out this ditty:
"Some have also quietly pointed to its criminal past, as many of their forefathers were convicts, shipped from England. Subsequently, these white Australians have built a savage history by annihilating the indigenous Aboriginal population. All of this has contributed towards developing an innate desire to murder defenceless people and hence their enthusiasm for war. Such a view is a gross generalisation and may be bordering on racism and personally I do not subscribe to."
I was wondering what that innate desire I kept feeling was - now I know! Thanks Yamin
Posted by: attila at May 6, 2004 at 01:20 PMLurking within this article by Ross Fitzgerald in today's Australian lies a rather chilling observation:
'Since 1999, the NSW Government has recognised the need to keep the worst inmates in a super maximum-security facility. Clearly, the state hosts extremely dangerous individuals and governments need to plan for the worst contingencies and consider new approaches to security. Inmates with access to mobile phones pose a security risk. Intelligence gathering within NSW suggests that some have sympathies with terrorist organisations. These include indigenous offenders recently converted to Islam.'
The recruitment drive is on and terrorists may be seconding aboriginal history to their cause.

Discuss, class, the likely reception accorded to a newspaper columnist who wrote "Some have also quietly pointed to the Arabs' barbaric past, as many of their forefathers were slavers and nomads."

Seeing how ruthlessly Muhammad's followers imposed Arab culture and Islamic monotheism on their own indigenous conquered peoples (eg, the Berbers), such an alliance would be enough to bring tears of mixed anguish and laughter to those of us not consistency-challeneged. Which is not to say, of course, that it won't happen.
