#1 "attacks on Sheik Hilaly were attacks on Islam"? Awfully close to blasphemy there, old chap. Is every two-bit bookworm with a Madrassa diploma (certifying that he's memorized two or three old books) now identical with your entire religion?

Mighty inclusive club ya got there, chief.

#2 I deeply respect the Sheikh of Meat's turban, but I curse his mustache.

#3 he can say what he likes because he is an Australian

Must be nice. Mind if I go over to Saudi Arabia and say what I want to say?

What bugs me is that he hides behind freedom of expression, but if he has decided that someone has insulted Islam he would much sooner have them stoned to death than let them talk. You know darn well that if he were king tomorrow he'd revoke that freedom of expression before he got out of bed! "But it's again Islam!"

Yes, Omran, but you are defending crimes against humanity.

#4 I am free to tell the people about my view.

Correct. And other Ozzies are free to react. Somehow I doubt the concept of "fighting words" is foreign to Oz law. Be Prepared.

#5 So it seems the women are meat who invite invite rape comments have vanished into the ether? We'll concentrate on that old standard "Muslim's are victims, dammit!" instead?
Thanks. Just wanted to know the gameplan.

#7 It never ceases to amaze me that some people think Freedom of Speech equates to freedom of responsibility.

#8 This ass trips himself up the minute he opens his trap. "I'm an Australian citizen." An outright lie. He's a citizen of Muzzie ummah, first, last, and always. He's nothing but a Muzzie invader residing in Australia. He has no interest in Australian society other than ending it. He's a traitor to Australia and must be dealt with as such.

#9 Howard needs to re-arm the Australian public, and let THEM deal with scumbags like this. I'm sure armed lifeguards on the beach will put an end to the Lebanese badboys making foolish comments, as well. Everyone needs to stand up to the islamonazis and put them on the defensive. They're certainly OFFENSIVE enough...

#11 While Islam as a whole may not be monolithic, the Australian Muslims sure appear to be. Those who defend al-Hilali are Australia's enemies.
