| #4 I know, DB. But my children know, and so will yours, because you'll tell them about such things. And the girl in my university dorm who was dating that Arab boy listened to us, and didn't go with him to visit his family over the summer break. At least there's that much. |

| #3 trailing wife, unfortunately the ones who really need to hear that aren't going to listen. While Muslims are by far the worst offenders in that regard, plenty of other paternalistic nationalities can be just as bad in regards to kidnapped children of Western mothers. |

| #2 This was an important case for Australia, IMO. It opened a lot of eyes to Islam and the realities of Muslim behaviour. |

| #1 Shahirah Gillespie, now 20, was snatched as a seven-year-old by her father, Malaysian Prince Raja Bahrinprince, in 1992, who grabbed Shahirah and her brother Iddin during an access visit. Shahirah flew into Melbourne on Saturday to visit her mother. Prince Bahrin said Iddin, now 23, was studying at college. And this, children, is why we don't marry people like that, let alone follow them home afterward. |
