Free speech has a sharp edge
Free speech is just that, even though it can be a double-edged sword. That’s how democracy works.
The Sydney Morning Herald has published an article from guest author, Uthman Badar, spokesman for Hizb ut-Tahrir , an Islamist group banned in most Muslim countries. As scores of Fairfax journalists swell the lines at CentreLink, their comments about “guest” author fees would be interesting, especially given the following:
‘Uprising in the Muslim World’ Khilafah Conference 2011 in Sydney on July 3, 2011. About 1,000 Australian Muslims attended the conference hosted by the controversial Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir which called for the creation of a global caliphate or Islamic government.
In his address, spokesman Uthman Badar said, “Australian troops fighting in Afghanistan are "fair game" and Muslims "have an obligation" to target them.”

Islam in Australia
Allan Essery writes about Islam in Australia. His grasp of the subject offers a comprehensive view of a merging problem. These words in his final paragraph poses the question we should all be asking ourselves, “Is that what you want?”
Saturday’s Muslim riot in Sydney has created a level of anger among Australians that is rarely brought to the surface with such ferocity. While Australian citizens vent their anger the Muslim community is busy creating the illusion that firstly, the rioters were a small number of tear away young Muslims and children not attached to any particular Muslim group and secondly, that those Australian citizens and politicians making comment via various avenues are only a handful of racists promoting a message of hate against Muslims and it was our fault anyway.
The Islamic spokesmen refuse to acknowledge that the rioters were not a disconnected gang of wayward young men but were in fact an organized group that used the confected offence at a video about Mohammad as an excuse to create mayhem and violence.

UP GOES THE BLACK FLAG
Jim McCrudden dares to write about the murder of US Amassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens like no other about the wave of Islamist insanity now spreading like a lethal virus against Western interests in some 20 countries. All of it driven by a perceived insult to the prophet Mahammad in a Youtube clip.
Four days ago, on September 11, the 11th anniversary of the Twin Towers massacre, Egyptian Muslims attacked the US embassy in Cairo; the Marine defenders were ordered to withdraw and hide, and Islam’s ancient black flag – the one used when they began the conquest in the Middle East and Europe – was hoisted in place of the torn down and desecrated US flag.
Simultaneously, Libyan Muslims attacked and set fire to the US Embassy in Libya
murdering at least four men including the ambassador who was dragged through
the streets—that’s him above, his name is Chris Stevens—and burnt the place to
the ground. Stevens apparently died in Benghazi hospital of smoke inhalation. A news report made by the Libyan
Free Press reported that Ambassador Stevens was raped before he was killed.
In each case the murderers claimed they were offended by a movie made in
America. The offence, of course, is a convenient bullshit masquerade. Certainly
they were offended by a movie they had never seen but only heard about, but the
attacks were co-ordinated to take place on September 11th for obvious reasons.
There was also an attack on the US embassy in Yemen.

Doing Karzai’s dirty work
The shrill cry of “Alu Akbar” (God is great) might well have been the last words our three soldiers heard before Afghan National Army Sergeant Hekmatullah opened fire slaughtering his mentors at a base in Oruzgan province recently. That amounts to 45 foreign troops murdered this year in what is now called, “green-on-blue” attacks. A Taliban spokesman said they did not know the Afghan soldier.
Prime Minister Gillard said, “We cannot allow even the most grievous of losses to change our strategy. In my view, that wouldn't be appropriately honouring the men we have lost. In my view that would be letting our nation down. We went there for a purpose and we will see that purpose through.” Other defence “experts” contend that an immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan would effectively give victory to the Taliban.
