No kidding

Britain's foreign policy is spurring Muslim extremism and its anti-terror legislation is likely to increase hatred against the former imperial power.

Any chance Australian foreign policy might be a factor in Muslims hating Australia? Any chance John Howard's draconian legislation will in fact cause fear and censorship among the Muslim population? As Tony Blair's Muslim advisers explain, Britain's anti-terror plan is likely to inflame tensions.

In the current climate, however, such sensible discussion will be drowned out by the hysteria.

We have been warned.

No, No Shab just because McSeptic didn't give YOU an accolade...

I say we retain Superior for curiosities sake.

Regarding offending the Muslims I feel reactionary.

The young male thugs who have strutted their stuff in France, UK and to a more limited extent, here can always rationalise their tendency to violence.

YOUNG MALE THUGS, be they criminals or classed as "terrorists" appear to be at the root of most violence.

When they grow into older thugs, in a position of greater power, they're even a greater problem.

That this young thugism can be explained or legitimised as some sort of ethnic or religious "cry for help" is pathetic.

Australia's age old practices of ethnic profiling of groups prone to violence , be they pack rapists, thugs outside court houses or would-be bombers, is justifiable due to the sheer volume of violent acts occurring amongst young men from that particular ethnic community (starting with L).

I do not want harsher anti terrorism laws but recognise that it is a reaction to the wrong groups being allowed in.

This isn't hysteria its common sense.
