-RetweetAussie Islamic Leader Fears "Redneck" Backlash

Thu, Nov 10, 2005 at 8:27:48 am PST

Following the breakup of an Islamic terror cell in the final stages of planning a large attack in Australia, Muslim leaders are once again more concerned about “backlash” than about the presence of mass murderers in their communities: Warning on ’redneck backlash’.

A KEY Muslim leader has warned radical clerics to tone down their rhetoric and has voiced fears of a redneck backlash against his community.

President of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils Dr Ameer Ali said he planned to meet with government ministers today to seek greater protection for his community.

The Federal Government has scrambled to reassure Australia’s Islamic community that suspected terrorists, not Muslims, were not being pursued by security agencies following the arrests of 17 people in spectacular raids in Sydney and Melbourne.

Authorities said the raids had averted a “catastrophic” terrorist attack on Australian soil, claiming the group had been stockpiling chemicals that could make explosives. Only two of the suspects sought bail. Their applications were denied in a Melbourne court today.

Dr Ali was in Canberra today seeking assurances that the Government would “not allow the rednecks in this country to exploit this situation”.

A violent altercation erupted outside a Melbourne courthouse yesterday as some of the terror suspects appeared in court, when associates of the accused attacked media waiting outside.

Another Muslim organisation, the Forum on Australia’s Islamic Relations, said today the arrests were “nightmares come true” for Muslims.

25 Jason Pappas  Thu, Nov 10, 2005 6:33:06am

It’s fascinating. Polls show that Muslims (at the 90-100% level) hate Americans, Jews, and the French. This hatred creates an atmosphere where violent attacks are accepted and cheered. Yet, Muslim leaders claim it is the hatred of others that is the problem.

If one wants to find hate-mongers one only has to look at the Islamic world.

26 Mrs. Beto  Thu, Nov 10, 2005 6:33:21am

Isn't that like whiplash?

Look at this paragraph:

"The Federal Government has scrambled to reassure Australia's Islamic community that suspected terrorists, not Muslims, were not being pursued by security agencies following the arrests of 17 people in spectacular raids in Sydney and Melbourne."

So, the Australian government is NOT pursuing suspected terrorists any longer since spectacular raids in Sydney and Melbourne?

THIS IS WHAT DRIVES ME UP THE WALL WITH "MODERATE" MUSLIMS!

Whenever their believers commit terror attacks (or in this case got caught before they could), do "moderate" Muslims decry the adoption of terrorism in the name of Islam? Do they make moves to reform this very hostile and dangerous aspect of their religion? Do they cooperate with authorities to purge the bad elements that are giving their religion a bad name?

NO!

They worry mostly about whether people at large will get fed up with them and take retribution against them for the actions of terrorists!

I think there is an extra "not" in that sentence. Otherwise, neither terrorists nor Muslims are being pursued, and that would be a problem.

Freaky that

associates of the accused attacked media waiting outside.

Hey, MSM! Your friends physically assaulted you! Whaddya say to that? ("Umm ... Mr. Fazoul was just trying to shake my hand and he missed.")

At least rednecks don't support mass murder and terrorism. They are generally harmless and mind their own business until they are challenged or threatened. Rednecks also tend to support the war, having enough native intelligence to know when their country's vital interests are threatened. I'm sure the Australian variety will rise to the occasion when duty calls.

A KEY Muslim leader has warned radical clerics to tone down their rhetoric and has voiced fears of a redneck backlash against his community.

Well, lets look at this statement a little more closely: "...warns radical clerics..."

How about taking each and every RADICAL cleric and deporting them when they preach radical behavior.

Want to stop ISLAMIC-TERRORISM...get rid of the clerics who preach this sh*t. Get rid of them. Deportation is a useful weapon against the kind of criminal behavior that these radical clerics advocate.

My personal opinion is that islamic mosques have to be monitored and the "Radical Clerics" have to be eliminated from our countries and sent back to where they came from.

Thank you Jimmy Carter for the islamic states you had inadventantly created because of your flawed and weak presidency. The weakessed president in the history of the United States.

Although there might be some small fears of a backlash from a small minority of Aussies, the Muslim leaders quoted are playing an old game of tunring aggressor into victim.

A "backlash" is far less a fear to our society than the fear be instilled by Islamic terrorism worldwide.

It's time for these leaders to take some responsibility and to strt issuing fatwas against the terrorists within their midst.

We've seen it all before;

Myth of the Muslim Hate-Crime Epidemic

Do you believe that a "post-Sept. 11 backlash" has resulted in a nationwide wave of violence and bigotry against Muslims in America? The hype artists and book-cookers at the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee want you to think so. The group's new report purports to document "a massive increase" of hate crimes targeting Arab-Americans.

But in order to concoct a Muslim hate-crime epidemic, the ADC report lumps together faulty citations, dubious anecdotes and grossly over-inflated claims.
---
Herein lies the real agenda of the ADC and other apologists for Islamic extremism: to liken outspoken critics to murderers, to equate speech with violence and to exploit victimhood status in a cynical attempt to distract attention from the true sources of terror in America.

More news from Oz:

A RADICAL Melbourne Muslim cleric has downplayed his links to a number of terror suspects arrested this week in police raids.
Sheikh Mohammed Omran said while he knew some of the nine Melbourne men arrested in police raids on Tuesday, he was not close to any of them.

(that's what they all say)

Sheikh Omran said he was horrified when he heard about Tuesday's police raids in Sydney and Melbourne, which led to the arrests of 17 terror suspects. An 18th suspect was arrested in Sydney today.
He was also horrified by the way the raids and arrests were handled by police, the government and the media.
"But the way the government dealt with the story or with the problem (that's) something we don't appreciate.
"These things supposed to dealt with a delicate way, not to make it so publicity (sic) and put so much fear in the people minds."

From The Australian.

91 ördög Johnson  Thu, Nov 10, 2005 6:47:54am
TREASURER Peter Costello said radical Muslims would not be allowed to turn Australia into an Islamic state.
Mr Costello said Muslims who wanted to live in a country governed by sharia law, which imposes strict limitations on freedoms, would be better off living elsewhere.

"If you are somebody who wants to live in an Islamic state governed by sharia law you are not going to be happy in Australia, because Australia is not an Islamic state, will never be an Islamic state and will never be governed by sharia law," Mr Costello said.

"We are a secular state under our constitution, our law is made by parliament elected in democratic elections.
"We do not derive our laws from religious instruction."
Mr Costello said anyone who was alienated by Australia's form of government, judicial system and civil rights and wanted something else "might be better advised to find the 'something else' somewhere else".

"There are Islamic states around the world that practise sharia law and if that's your object you may well be much more at home in such a country than trying to turn Australia into one of those countries, because it's not going to happen," he said.

Muslims exploit Western Liberalism to their advantage

Liberalism that says a criminal is a victim

But WHY did the muslim rape and murder

Lets us spend more money on giving them rugs and rags to make the cirminals happy

Onyl a Liberal would see the solution to violence as rewarding violence

Never negotiate with kidnappers..

When Jews say they are being persecuted and pursued and are the victims of loathing, asshats like DePaul University professor Norman Finkelstein (author of a book called "Beyond Chutzpah") and a team of Holocaust deniers like this bastard currently on trial accuse us of being bellyaching crybabies who are trying to squeeze more money out of guilty goyim with our tears.

If rednecks & whites were part of the grievance industry, the way Muslims & other minorities of the West are, whites would be screaming that sports nicknames like "Fighting Irish" and "Celtics" are demeaning to whites of Irish descent, "Vikings" to whites of Scandinavian descent, etc. etc.

#53 Mrs. Beto

Hey! ;)

I'm in a cozy student town, head buried in the books all day long, but I have picked up a thing or two here and there.

Paul Belian is a keen eyed source. He said today:

France was quiet last night. Only one school was torched and the number of “car-becues” was down to 400. Two more nights and we will be back at the normal pre-riot level of 100 car fires per night. Ah, didn’t Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy say earlier that “20 to 40 cars torched each night” was the normal rate? Yes, he did, but the official figures are generally understood to be underreported. [Link: www.brusselsjournal.com...]

That seems to be the main message, as Charles noted in one of his posts: the media is going to intentionally play down the violence. Small acts of violence in support of the French intifada have appeared in Ghent, Antwerpen and Brussels. Brussels has several large Muslim districts -- one near where all the hookers in the pink-lit windows stand and there is even one large area outside the center of Brussels where one can see street signs in Arabic. That's no surprise, as Belgium has also adopted the "millet" -- multicultural system as well. Policemen have been advised by the State not to drink coffee during Ramadan in these areas, as you may have heard.

Fortunately, as well, there has been no news concerning violence against the large Orthodox Jewish population in Antwerpen. My sense is that the Belgian far right (not sure if you can call them rednecks -- more like sophisticated, hard right, Euro nationalist types) will be active in using any violence on their behalf, as Le Pen and the National Front in France have done.

CLINTONS A HOT TICKET IN ISRAEL

November 10, 2005 -- JERUSALEM — Wealthy Israelis are paying up to $100,000 just for a chance to sit near the Clintons during their upcoming visit.

Former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton are the headliner guests at a posh dinner in Tel Aviv Monday to commemorate the opening of the Yitzhak Rabin Center.

A fund-raising letter asking for donations to the center — and offering tickets to the dinner — said seating will be determined "according to the size of the contribution."

"Priority, of course, will be given to the highest contributions," it adds. ...

Guys! Time to bring up one of my favorites of all time...

Question: How do you tell the difference between Democrats, Republicans and Southern Republicans?

The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you.
You are carrying a Glock cal .40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

Democrat’s Answer:
Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor! Or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he’d be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
Why isn’t he happy playing nighttime basketball?
We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.
Can I call Howard Dean or John Kerry and see what they think I should do?

Republican’s Answer:
BANG!

Southern Republican’s Answer:
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!BANG! click…..(sounds of reloading).

Muhammad Ali... I think he might've uttered a few words about Islam being peace after 9/11, but he's been silent ever since. In fact, he just got a Freedom Medal from Bush yesterday.

Now, exactly WHO has a real reason to be afraid / pissed off / rioting / attacking the media ?

And yet . . .


P.S. Everything that is happening can be traced back to the very roots of Islam, its not radicals, its not terrorists, its not islamofascists, its not a small minority hi-jacking a great religion, its the damned religion itself! Read the Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades - everyone needs to be educated about islam.

Angry SA passengers burn trains

Rail passengers angry at service delays torched at least 26 train carriages near Johannesburg on Wednesday evening.

Carriages were burnt at three different locations south of the city, causing 200m rand ($30m) worth of damage.

The arson followed service delays reportedly caused by technical faults. A shortage of trains has now caused services on one route to be suspended.

It was the second time in a week that trains have been torched because of poor services.

On Tuesday, passengers burnt four coaches after service delays apparently caused by the theft of electric cables.

My redneck identity is very conflicted. Geographically, I grew up south of The South. But some of my best friends were rednecks. My parents came from the frozen tundra of Yankee Frostbite Land, but always tried to assimilate themselves and myself into the indigenous redneck / Yankee transplant / global tourist / global immigrant population. Not easy having multiculturalism forced on me like that. I chose the Innuit way of life. It seemed to make the most sense for Florida.

School Board Reinstates Christian, Jewish Holidays In Fla. County

TAMPA, Fla. -- The local school board reinstated Good Friday, Easter Monday and Yom Kippur as school holidays after getting more than 3,500 e-mails from around the country criticizing its earlier decision to eliminate them rather than add a Muslim holiday.

The Hillsborough County School Board voted 5-2 Tuesday night to restore the holidays to the 2006-07 school calendar after a Muslim group said it didn't want its request to add the Islamic holiday Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, to result in Christian and Jewish holidays being taken away.

"It is a temporary solution," said Ahmed Bedier, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "We've been adamant the last two weeks that we would give up on our request for a holiday so the other religions won't lose theirs."

KENTUCKY GUARD MEETS RECRUITING GOAL

Kentucky National Guard officials said yesterday they've met recruiting goals this year, despite a dangerous war in Iraq. Kentucky was one of six states in the country to meet goals for the federal fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, said Maj. Gen. Donald Storm, Kentucky's adjutant general. "It's no small task bringing the strength of the Kentucky Guard, the home team, to 6,457," Storm said to a Capitol Rotunda audience that included National Guard members. That figure exceeded Kentucky's goal of 6,425 troops set by the National Guard Bureau in Washington. For the year, there were 1,152 new National Guard recruits in Kentucky, Storm said. It was the second consecutive year the Kentucky Guard met its recruitment goals, he said. Since the Iraq war started, there has been a total of eight Kentucky Guardsmen killed and more than 100 seriously injured.

Meanwhile the LLL lines up to support the "arab street", mainly because they hate the US. I'm fascinated to see how confounded the media has become over the rioting in France. On the one hand, France is the perfect LLL model, the women are hairy, there is free healthcare, 6 week vacations and they hate America; Utopia, right? On the other hand they are "oppressing" an minority which, in the case of China and North Korea oppressing Chritsians is just fine, but this is a minority tradionally considered to hate America.

Protesters — including women and children — gathered outside a bombed hotels, shouting, "Death to al-Zarqawi, the villain and the traitor!" Drivers honked the horns of vehicles decorated with Jordanian flags and posters of the king. A helicopter hovered overhead.

"We sacrifice our lives for you, Amman!" the protesters chanted.

State television said a second rally was planned in the Red Sea port of Aqaba, where attackers using Katyusha rockets narrowly missed a U.S. ship and killed a Jordanian soldier in August

...

"I hope that these attacks will wake up the 'Jordanian street' to end their sympathy with Saddam's remnants ... who exploit the freedom in this country to have a safe shelter to plot their criminal acts against Iraqis."

He also said Iraqis may have had a hand in the attacks.

France's Muslim Youth Want In, Not Out

Viewpoint: Two weeks of rioting may look like an intifada, but its goals are the opposite of global jihad, argues TIME Paris correspondent Bruce Crumley
Even if the rioters and jihadists momentarily share the same violent rage at French society, there is a critical difference: Youths of the banlieue want in on the French deal, not to destroy it. They want to be part of a French society and economy that has dangled its goodies before banlieusard eyes, only to pull them away with a taunting "sorry, not for you." They are battling the Establishment in the hopes of becoming part of it: they're after better housing, better schooling, an opportunity of a decent income, satisfying work, and the respect and esteem France extends its other citizens. In fact, they're demanding exactly those things the followers of bin Laden hate most.
254 templar  Thu, Nov 10, 2005 7:29:27am

From wikipedia on redneck:

The popular etymology says that the term derives from such individuals having a red neck caused by working outdoors in the sunlight over the course of their lifetime. The effect of decades of direct sunlight on the exposed skin of the back of the neck not only reddens fair skin, but renders it leathery and tough, and typically very wrinkled and spotted by late middle age. Another popular theory stems from the use of red bandanas tied around the neck to signify union affiliation during the violent clashes between United Mine Workers and owners between 1910 and 1920.

Some historians claim that the term redneck originated in 17th century Virginia, when indentured servants were sunburnt while tending plantation crops.

An alternative origin of the term comes from Scotland. In Scotland, the National Covenant and The Solemn League and Covenant (a.k.a. Covenanters) signed documents stating that Scotland desired a Presbyterian Church Government, and rejected the Church of England as their official church.

Many of the Covenanters Signed these documents using their own blood, and many in the movement began wearing red pieces of cloth around their neck to signify their position to the public. They were referred to as Rednecks. Many of the early inhabitants of the US South were of Scottish Descent, and according to this theory, this term was applied to many of the southern Scottish immigrants early on, eventually changing into the term we know today.

The number of Scottish immigrants to Australia in the 1800s was around 600,000. In 1900, six out of ten Victorians were Scottish or of Scottish descent. This included large numbers of Highlanders, who were known throughout the British Empire for their ability to kick ass.

"It's no small task bringing the strength of the Kentucky Guard, the home team, to 6,457," Storm said to a Capitol Rotunda audience that included National Guard members. That figure exceeded Kentucky's goal of 6,425 troops set by the National Guard Bureau in Washington. For the year, there were 1,152 new National Guard recruits in Kentucky, Storm said. It was the second consecutive year the Kentucky Guard met its recruitment goals, he said. Since the Iraq war started, there has been a total of eight Kentucky Guardsmen killed and more than 100 seriously injured."

Farewell to Europe?

It is high time for European officials and the rest of us to understand that Islamism is about sedition, not religion, and needs to be treated as such. Extremists preaching violence and jihad against their fellow citizens should be thrown in jail. Radical organizations, subversive "charities," and hate-preaching mosques should be closed.

Amen.

#100 Chicken Kiev,

Right. Finkelstein et al also like to say that Israel is the "main fomenter" of anti-semitism nowadays - meaning hatred toward Jews is "kinda-justified" because of their supposedly unconditional support for an evil country. Yet if one claims that Osama bin Laden is today's main fomenter of Islamophobia, they'd be called racist and marked for censure.

Though of course, Muslim are "less privileged" than Jews nowadays, so we have to make concessions to them...

What's the difference between the outcomes a "radical cleric" who has to "tone down his rhetoric," would lead to, and what a "redneck backlash against his community" would be?

From what I can tell from the media, any deaths due to radical Muslim rhetoric are acceptable, while any by "rednecks" in self- or preemptive-defense are not.

The irony is incredible...why would anyone have to "tone down their rhetoric" if they're not saying anything threatening?!?!? .The reporter of this story didn't seem to care (what a surprise!)

"We sacrifice our lives for you, Amman!" the protesters chanted.

Change "Amman" to "Saddam" and that looks like Baghdad '03. I finally realize that the "Arab Street" is obviously an actor-out-on-loan company. Call 'em up for a quote for your next pre-planned "rally"! Discounts on Israeli and American flags, too!

Youths of the banlieue want in on the French deal, not to destroy it. They want to be part of a French society and economy that has dangled its goodies before banlieusard eyes, only to pull them away with a taunting "sorry, not for you." They are battling the Establishment in the hopes of becoming part of it: they're after better housing, better schooling, an opportunity of a decent income, satisfying work, and the respect and esteem France extends its other citizens.

If they really wanted in the goodies, they would: learn to speak-read-write-comprehend French instead of demanding the Fwench govt provide islamic madrassas where they can memorize hate-speeches; get a job instead of whining they "can't-do-this, can't-do-that" because it "interferes" with their prayer-time, etc.

La belle-dhimmi Fwance needs to call them on this game. And needs to boot out every immigration-law violator instead of helping them continue onward to Britain.

Busting all the immigration-law violators would cut the amount of the problem in half.

This is a post from a previous thread that I think is more appropriate here.

If it's been brought to your attention by someone else on this thread, beg pardon.

OT but Silent Running has a great quote from the Deputy PM Peter Costello.

If you are somebody who wants to live in an Islamic state governed by sharia law you are not going to be happy in Australia, because Australia is not an Islamic state, will never be an Islamic state and will never be governed by sharia law.

We are a secular state under our constitution, our law is made by parliament elected in democratic elections.

We do not derive our laws from religious instruction.

There are Islamic states around the world that practise sharia law and if that’s your object you may well be much more at home in such a country than trying to turn Australia into one of those countries, because it’s not going to happen.

#260 Mrs. Beto

Yes, the idea of sending people back to their country of origin after having been in France a short time and having incited / taken part in what amounts to violent revolts by religious enclaves appears to me as justice.

Do your studies involve scientific research of country folk politics in support of that segment of the population and social class (or lack thereof due to the relative value of "sophistry" vs. personal production and contribution by work, "redneck").

No, but about the values of those people calling themselves "redneck" or others familar with the use of the term in a non-pejorative sense, it would be impossible to study something like that, given the cultural (or relative, as you suggest) meaning of the term.

I suspect few countries, which do not have a culture in which the people would refer to themselves as rednecks, could understand how this possibly could have positive connotations. You mentioned Eastern Europeans, a culture I know fairly well by experience. When the French speak about "Polish plumbers", they know this is not complimentary because the values of the French are elitist. Yet, if you talk to actual migrant Eastern European laborers they are anything but ashamed of their values and their work.

American values, contrary to European values, would actually honor traditional notions of men and women (in varying senses), patriotism, non-elitism, self-suffiency, Judaism / Christianity, etc. It is hard for many Europeans to grasp that. I was just reading Tocqueville's Democracy in Americaand he makes this point continually. In Europe at this time, the idea of people other than elites ruling was unimaginable -- sheer chaos.

Even if the rioters and jihadists momentarily share the same violent rage at French society, there is a critical difference: Youths of the banlieue want in on the French deal, not to destroy it.

Let's all fervently hope this is correct.

I don't believe it, but one can hope.

Because if they do not get assimilated, in 20 years when there are twice as many of them, and in 50 years, when they are the majority, if they are not part of Western civilization, there won't be any Western civilization.

No matter what's happening today or tomorrow, no matter what you think should be done (kill 'em, convert 'em, deport 'em), the demographics spell DOOM if they don't get civilized.

Relativistic twaddle from Bruce Crumley of 'Time' Magazine: The rioting youths of France are "battling the Establishment in the hopes of becoming part of it." Orwell himself would stand up & applaud such language. Let's see... I want to join the winning team at Microsoft, so I'll set their headquarters on fire & burn it to the ground? Is that what you're saying, Bruce?

Kind of like how liberals say America simultaneously "tears down" and "props up" foreign dictatorships, eh, Bruce? No contradiction there at all! Or how American "interventionism" & "nation-building" are the "root causes" of 3rd world misery and the solution is... to extend more aid, and increase our presence in 3rd world countries (the very 'interventionism' & 'nation-building' deplored as the root cause of the problems is also seen as the silver bullet solution to those problems).

From the article

Dr Ali said he also had a message for radical clerics.

"I tell the clerics, please guard your language when you talk," he said.

"This is a country that believes in pluralism, it's a multicultural society, we live in a plural society."

"Your religion [whose religion?] does not preach intolerance and I ask them not to hijack the religion."

Perhaps I'm engaged in parsing, but it seems to me that Dr. Ali is merely asking the clerics to watch what they say, not to examine what they believe.

For whatever reason, it seems that any Muslim who "speaks out" on terror is an apologist. I fear that there are no devout Muslims who abhor violence.

Also, recently I posted a link to a company that monitors all the posts on tens of thousands of blogs every day, looking for certain key words.

Also, Pajama Media (whatever that is) is will rely on the good reputation of Charles and other participants.

In short... using "school yard" (or locker room) language doesn't do Charles, LGF, or "the cause" and good.

I think that chump is correct, the Aussies should put many more cops in the Muslim hoods, near the mosques and schools, say perhaps 1 cop for each man over 15. Just to keep them safe, you understand...

I was talking about being jumped by "youths" a couple of times with some friends. They assumed the attackers were white Catholics. I said no, they were black. They said they thought I was a skinhead when they first met me! I guess only whites and/or Christians are evil. / sarc

When some gay linguists (I know, sounds like the start of a joke), were kicked out of the military, I was furious - with my gay "brethren." They outed themselves on purpose, during wartime, for political reasons. Disgusting behavior. They knew what they were getting into when they joined up. Too bad there are many, if any, Muslims who think like me.

EU issues Xenophobia Warning!

France must act to prevent anti-Moslem backlash, says Euro MP

Brussels - After two weeks of violent urban unrest in France, Muslim communities in the country will face long-term retaliation, a Euro MP said Thursday, urging the French government to take action and condemn revenge attacks against Moslems.

Oh dear, just listen to all these angry Aussie Rednecks;

Survivors elated by Dr Death's demise

NEWS of Azahari Husin's death was met with elation and relief by Bali bombing survivors.

"Good riddance to him," said Geelong woman Jodie Ferguson, who lost her sister Stacey, brother-in-law and his brother in the 2002 blasts.

"If I only had a minute with him I'd do the same as they did to our people.

"He won't be where my sister is, anyway."

Melbourne man Dale Atkin, who suffered horrific burns in the Sari Club blast, said news of Azahari's death was sensational.

"Just think, it's one less psycho wiped off the face of the earth," he said.

"The sooner we get rid of these monsters, as I call them, the better society is going to be."

Mr Atkin said it was sad Azahari did not die from one of his own bombs.

But, he added, "A bullet's better than nothing. At least we know we got rid of another villain in this world."
---
Simon Quayle, former coach of a West Australian football club that lost seven members in the 2002 Bali attacks, said he was ecstatic about Azahari's death.

"I sincerely commend not only the wonderful and dedicated National Indonesian Police service but our very own Australian Federal Police who form part of this jigsaw in making our world a safer place," he said.

"Well done, blokes, and I certainly will have a drink to celebrate."

the arrests were "nightmares come true" for Muslims.

Translation: Because if they weren't caught, Muslims could resume sticking their heads in the ground and believe that any brethren who stockpile explosives are just really figments of their imagination that don't need confronting. Everyone breathes much easier then, ya?

And that, friends, is how sharia, the "perfect law of Allah", works! Impressive, no?

#244. "And the spider webs on a sweat covered face were always appreciated too. I hate spiders, and some were huge, and I used to catch them on my head in the dark. Interesting for a minute or so..."

Ah yes, the spider webs. The damn things stick to your eyes, and the sticky filaments get glued to your mouth and no amount of spitting gets rid of the cursed things. I hunt in the deep woods, and nine times out of ten you can't see the webs unless there's a freak ray of sunlight breaking through the canopy above to light up a few of the strands. Still, it's such a very small price to pay for a day in the woods hunting critters.

The punishment for a crime like this should be the same as if the conspiracy had been succesful and a multitude of bombs had been detonated in public places. Its foolish to reduce the sentence because they were stopped before killing anyone.

There's some amusing comments on this topic and being English I'm not exactly sure of the true defenition of a 'Redneck'. Am I right to assume american rednecks have been around longer and had more time to mellow ?

This is identical to the tactics of islamofascist/leftist axis of evil in London and New York.

Quickly establish through the MSM that muslims have genuine grievances against wider society and then proclaim muslims to be the victims of the latest genocide by muslim terrorists. That way they deflect discussion of the real cause of terror - islam itself.

It doesn't wash with this Aussie! When i hear muslims condemning terror against all innocent people, including us Jews, out of hand and without qualification, then I'll take them seriously.

muslims are treated like anyone else in Oz. They have no grievances agaisnt Australians. And as our Treasurer said, it they really want sharia law then they are free to leave for any muslim country that applies it.

Not all firearms are banned in Australia, only semi automatics in long arms, pump action shotties and automatic pistols.(pistols were never easily available to the general public without a real good reason due to being easily concealed)

Being a member of a gun club will get you over the ownership issue for all but semi automatics


The ban came after some shithead went postal at a tourist attraction in 96 and slaughtered 35 people including little kids.

From that day most of us knew the semi autos were goners...so went out and bought myself a BRNO 308 and joined a registered shooters club.

Semi autos are no longer, but the joke was, people could hand in their semi auto, in my case a Winchester M1 carbine that had trouble stopping a razorback (wild boar) and allowed me to own a rifle that would drop a water buffalo.

So although not happy with the surrender of the carbine, the scoped 308 is not exactly being disarmed...

384 AussieRoddy  Thu, Nov 10, 2005 3:42:17pm

Rednecks here are pretty close to rednecks in America...they drive 'utes' (pickups), drink great amounts of beer...go pig hunting (wild bush boars), smoke hand rolled cigarettes 'cause theyre cheaper, love a good brawl and love watching the footy (all types but mainly League...and yeah, no helmets...no armor either).

The further west you go in Australia the more of these you find, but also the further away from major urban settlements you go, the more of these you find.

The bogan rednecks who live in the city are a bit different but still talk the same and share alot of the same practices except those specifically rural like pig hunting..

So yeah our rednecks are pretty similar, but then again, we're about as South as you can get, so its no surprise :P

385 nonic  Thu, Nov 10, 2005 4:20:38pm

I’m repeating this post from another thread because I think it is REALLY IMPORTANT.

Well, I’ve finally seen something that amounts to a plan for how to save Western civilization.

The current drift toward islamic totalitarianism is inevitable and unstoppable if nothing is done to combat the evil.

Avowed islamists, most of the media and academe, many politicians, and liberals in general seek this end, either with deliberate intention or only effectively as a corollary to their total disdain of the West and Western values.

But quite aside from that, if nothing is done, or if ineffective measures are carried out, the demographics alone will doom us. Oriana infamously said that they “breed like rats,” and that is exactly what they do. In 20 years, there will be twice as many as there are today. In 50 years, they will be a dominating majority in many formerly Christian or secular countries. Whole continents.

And since they are not generally contributing members of Western society, they will sap the resources of the West, cause ever-increasing instability, parasitically devour what they do not destroy, and usher in a new Dark Age of barbarism.

If you think things are bad now, imagine what your children and grandchildren will face.

If you look in the right places (such as LGF), there’s a lot of talk about the problem and a lot of often wild ideas about how to solve it. Deport them, convert them, kill them, cure their disease with a reformation of their religio-ideology. En masse, usually. Muslims in general.

None of those ideas would work. Most of them are not even remotely do-able. Many are illegal or inhumane, and some are heinous.

But there is a plan, and it could work. It is moral and legal and do-able. And it could succeed.

Someone at LGF posted a link today to “Farewell to Europe?” at [Link: www.washtimes.com...] I read it, and it is good.

But another link at the side of that page caught my attention. “'An Islamist Threat Like the Nazis'” by Tony Blankley at [Link: www.washtimes.com...]

Mr. Blankley, apparently in his book "The West's Last Chance: Will We Win the Clash of Civilizations?", suggests that the United States Congress formally declare war on the islamic jihadists – who have declared war on us, on the entire West – and invoke the various constitutionally sanctioned war powers to combat the evil in a serious, organized, entirely legal and moral way.

I urge everyone. Click, bookmark, go back and read when you have time — it’s about 10 pages.

Then promulgate.

Write to your representatives. Write to your newspaper. Talk to your friends and co-workers. Make people understand.

Watch how LGFWatch grab your first sentence and ignore the second. I agree wholeheartedly with both sentences together - shame for us in the UK that Blair just lost his terror vote :( - yet still the LLL press spin it like the police and the majority of the country aren't completely behind him for once...

The Artist Formerly Known As Bigel might draw issue with this, but despite whatever antisemitism is still lurking in these isles, the majority of Brits have no time for suicide bombers of any ilk. That's where TAFKA Bigel can chuckle, because despite our supposed inherent Jew-Hatred, the Brits are very much in favour of stringing up Jihadis by their whooleys. And understanding that suicide bombers will never see reason is a great first step towards understanding why Israel targets known Hamas leaders with big f*ck-off missiles rather than olive-branches with Kofi Annan's blessing on them. There's no polishing turds, especially when those turds hate you simply for being who you are, a situation that the LLL would tell you doesn't exist.

/OT Can't wait for Pajamas Media, just a little worrried that the Editorial Board has more members than the rest of us combined out here in the plebiscite blogosphere.
