| Australian PM angers Muslims with jihad remarks | |
| 2006-02-21 | |
SYDNEY: Australian Prime Minister John Howard has criticised the minority of Muslims who "rave on about jihad" and have "extreme attitudes" towards women, saying they do not fit into Australian society. Islamic leaders immediately condemned the remarks as "offensive and ignorant", saying they would fan the flames of prejudice against Islam.

| #14 #12 : "Cause & Effect" don't exixts for them. All sins are washed away with their next ritual prayer's ablution. Too bad for them, Cause & Effect operates like the Law of Gravity. |

| #13 Australian Prime Minister John Howard has criticised the minority of Muslims who "rave on about jihad" and have "extreme attitudes" towards women, saying they do not fit into Australian society. I think I found the logic problem. Make that Majority of.... they work hard raving on about jihad and having extreme attitudes towards women (and cartoons) and you shouldn't deminish their accomplishments like that Johnny. |

| #12 John Howard has criticised the minority of Muslims who "rave on about jihad" and have "extreme attitudes" towards women, saying they do not fit into Australian society. Only a culture that is utterly incapable of understanding Cause & Effect could possibly manage to be offended by Howard's remarks. I long to see how Australian society will make sure there is no place for these twisted f&cks to "fit in." Mass deportations would be delightful. |

| #11 Maybe these "islamic leaders" ought to look up the meaning of the words "offensive and ignorant." when a statement is true, it may be offensive, but it certainly is not ignorant of the facts. perhaps these "islamic leaders" should examine the reasons he said it. |

| #10 They're right. The PM's comments really rile people up about Islam. Barbaric behavior by guys quoting the Koran doesn't do it, nor their treatment of, well, anybody who isn't a Muslim male. Sure, pal, whatever you say..... |

| #9 ..saying they would fan the flames of prejudice against Islam. Seems to me the Muzzies are quite effective at doing that themselves. |

| #8 Amazing how "Islamic Leaders" keep conflating Islam with Wild-Eyed Jihadis, isn't it? Not as amazing as the opposition to those leaders. |

| #2 I like John Howard. At some point, Christians should tell the Muslim governments of places like Saudi Arabia that they find their attitudes toward and statements about Christianity to be "offensive and ignorant." |
