We all know that it is a sin for an Islamic male to see any woman other than his wife naked, and that he must commit suicide if he does.
So, next Sunday 13/11/05, at 4:00 PM EDST, all Australian women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighbourhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort.
All men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they are not terrorists, and to demonstrate that they think it's okay to see nude women other than their wife and to show support for all Australian women.
And since the Koran also does not approve of alcohol, a cold six-pack at your side is further proof of your anti-terrorist sentiment.
The Australian Government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti terrorist activity.
God bless Australia _________________ Whale

I don’t have a problem with police raids on suspect terrorist, because if you have nothing to hide, then you shouldn't be concerned.
..but I do have an issue with all the publicity generated from the police and the government themselves, if they stop an imminent attack then that is great, but what’s with all the scare mongering? Do they have an agenda? Do they want us to hate all Muslims? Does the government want greater control of us who live in a so called democracy? Didn’t mr howard say australia was ’in no threat’ of retaliation when going to 'war in iraq'?.....then what’s changed???!!! _________________ free energy i$ coming.... |

I have no time for this so called "peaceful and tolerant" religion! I hope that these idiots are locked up for good and we really start removing these idiots from our country who preach this sort of rhetoric and are looking to destroy the fabric of our society and culture! |

About as much time as I have for the peaceful and tolerant Christians. Look at what those Catholics and Protestants did in Northern Ireland. And the bobings they carreid out in England as well.
Disgusting religion. |
Couldn't agree more. I am non religious myself and cringe at the problems that religion has caused both directly and indirectly in this world! |

Saddam recently called George Bush from captivity to complain that when he watches Star Trek that there are Asians, Blacks and all types of other races but there are no Muslims ever featured.
Dubya replied, "Well that's correct Saddam, it is set in the future"
The quicker religion as a whole is removed from the worlds culture the better. How many more people need to die in the name of god no matter who's god that is. |

I agree to some extent Culprit..... while religion has done a lot of good (think charities, aid organizations and also a lot of society's foundation), it can be incredibly dangerous... how do you fight an enemy that doesn't care if they die because they're 'going to heaven'? and whose main reason for fighting is because they believe their religion teaches it. religious extremism is concerning because all logic is thrown out the window. I don't see though that religion as a whole should go because I think a lack of belief in anything hurts society... _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |
