#6 "The situation is so dire that some Brisbane Muslims suspect they might be sent to concentration camps, while others live in fear of bomb attacks."

Oh, bullshit. They're not trembling in fear of what non-Muslims might do to them: they're trembling with anticipation at what they're about to do to non-Muslims. And with laughter at how easy it is to lay a guilt trip on Western civilization.

#10 Ironically over 1500 Indian soldiers from the 29th Indian Infantry and the Indian Mountain Artillery died at Gallipoli...

#11 Recall that at Gallipoli the ANZACs were fighting the Ottoman Empire (the last of the "true" caliphate, according to OBL).

#13 The offender?

I'm forever playing two-up,
tossing pennies in the air,
They fly so high, nearly touch the sky,
When they turn heads I nearly cry,
Coppers always hiding, hiding everywhere,
I'm forever playing two-up, tossing pennies in the air.

#14 Don't make us send the ANZACs back to the middle east.

#15 The report, carried out by Victoria's Monash University and the Australian Multicultural Foundation, was based on interviews with 183 people in Queensland and Victoria.

The study, which received two grants of $35,000 from Victoria and Queensland, praised Premier Peter Beattie and his Victorian counterpart Steve Bracks for "upholding the principles of multiculturalism".

So it took 70 grand to interview 183 people? That's about 400 bucks an interview.
Sounds like an audit might be in order.

#16 Honestly, it doesn't sound as if the local imam is buying any of this PC garbage either. Everything these morons at "Multicultural Affairs Queensland" propose is almost designed to cause resentment against the Muslim population, not prevent it. Seems like 'ol Dr. Abdalla is smart enough to know that.

#17 The report also claimed a "climate of fear" has seized Queensland's Muslim community, which it blamed on federal immigration and anti-terrorist policies and the media.

Boy howdy, just how ironic is it that a group who has done their level best to instill fear wherever it goes is suddenly put on the defensive after antagonizing the daylights out of everybody around them?

The situation is so dire that some Brisbane Muslims suspect they might be sent to concentration camps, while others live in fear of bomb attacks.

Perish the thought that some introspection has finally occurred in a Muslim mind. Now turn your damned jihadi juggernaut right around or else you will find yourselves in concentration camps.

Some refugees even told researchers they felt safer in their countries of origin than in Australia.

I would label this as "progress".
