BOMBERS EXCUSED
The ABC’s Sally Neighbour on Britain’s July 7 bombers:
They flourished in poor, under-employed, ghetto-ised communities, already alienated from British society and further marginalised by the belligerent politics and policing of the war on terror.
Nonsense. The bombers were not marginalised nor particularly poor. Two had university degrees. One left behind £121,000. Neighbour is rewriting history.

Sounds familiar; she must be a leftie.
Oh, wait, she works for the ABC, right, right….
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2008 03 10 at 08:39 PM • permalinkMy wife was swayed by the program until I asked her, when the Chinese were being racially abused, why they didn’t rise up and form terror gangs. What about when the Greeks and Italian “wogs” were being targetted? What about when the Vietnamese were being abused? So many nationalities have come here, and after some friction, become part of the landscape. (ps this does’t make any racial abuse right, but I’m pointing out where even though some races were subject to this, it wasn’t met with what we are seeing from muslims).
Why have muslims struggled?
Why have they responded (or started) with violence?
These questions were not posed by 4 corners, much less even thought about. Instead we got to see police and community workers doing good work on integrating and explaining our ways, but still the excuses for failure were there. There are thousands of muslims in our uni’s, in jobs, in political life, but somehow they are as a “race” marginalised.
BS!
They tried to say “we” are killing them in their home countries. I thought Australia was their home.
And more BS - the only people Australia has gone to war with are the taliban and iraqi insurgents / al qeada (sp!). Most muslims in australia are not iraqi or afghani, so please come up with something new or credible.
They flourished in poor, under-employed, ghetto-ised communities
The same conditions have seen devastating suicide attacks caried out by Australia’s aboriginal community and in other poor communities across the globe. The one thing we can all be sure of is that this has NOTHING to do with Islam, a religion which is so chilled out, it could solve global warming.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2008 03 10 at 08:49 PM • permalinkShouldn’t that have been the “so-called war on terror”?
Also loved the way so much was made of the Cronulla riots with no mention of the reprisals and the focus on one drunken idiot at the Camden protest meeting while passing no comment on the behaviour of the muslim reps at the Camden council meeting.Sally Neighbour would be much better put to investigating why, despite good will on the part of the vast majority of Australians, Muslims of a particular Middle Eastern origin - now extending to more recent arrivals from Africa and Pakistan - prefer to follow a self-imposed path of racial, political and economic segregation.
Unlike those from, say, South East Asia.
Sally, please explain?
ABC’s good Neighbour policy continues the great ABC-DEF tradition of truthing.
My Chinese-born mate says most of this is BS. His English is not great but he knows how to use the right four-letter words.
By the way: this fellow, would not amount to anything would he? “...his relative poverty and the consciousness of being an outsider—doubly so as a Jew of Prussian parentage…”
Posted by stackja1945 on 2008 03 10 at 09:48 PM • permalinkI heard that the London bombers were helping an old lady whose dog had been run over by the Queen when they were racially abused by John Howard then arrested by the CIA. Dick Cheney gave them backpacks filled with explosives - the Muslim boys thought they were gifts for the poor - and sent them on their way. Or was that Four Corners again?
By the way, what’s this about Rudd launching a campaign to show that
the Muslims are a sports club and not a religion.I think one of the telling points in the show was when one of the marginalised/misunderstood/unloved Aussie born school students of lebanese muslim background explained how he was always picked on. He said that if he took an extremist position and supported terrorists or took part in other illegal activities he was condemned by the broader community but if he was a devout muslim wearing the full regalia, etc, etc, he was also ostracised by the wider community. “I can’t win, they always hate me” (or words to that effect.
As I said to the missus - he could try acting like an ordinary bloke, just get on with life and stop whinging.Michael Burleigh: Well I think there are many, many reasons why people become terrorists. I mean some of them are quite strange, like boredom, as it were, you know that they’re vacant and they’re filling their lives with a cause and with violence. Other people have experiences, for example in Northern Ireland, there might be people who got rushed up or beaten up by British soldiers, and decided to go back and do something about it. The most interesting and the current motive which you’ll see again and again in chapters covering 150 years, is a detestation of people living an ordinary, tranquil life, and I certain quote Eamon Collins, who was an IRA terrorist; he was subsequently murdered by the IRA, who looks at a small town called Warrenpoint, where middle-class Catholics and Protestants lived quite happily together, and he said it’s a little sugar-plum fairy town, and I’m going to blow it up. And they did indeed put a bomb in a hotel in Warrenpoint and wreck it.
... there are people who still, you know, they look at these people in a sort of sneaking, admiring way, or they’re attracted by the frisson of violence that they emit. You can sometimes see that on British television where people interview people like Martin McGuiness, and there’s a slight sort of little excitement that this person, who’s clearly been involved in very violent activities, is there talking to them.

Title: Blood and Rage: A Cultural History of Terrorism
Author: Michael Burleigh
Publisher: HarperCollinsInteresting how my home town is now held up as an example every time the media want to show the ugly side of the average aussie.
Even more curious is why they don’t mention the bitter battle being waged by the residents of Bass Hill who are trying to prevent a mussie school being built in their suburb on land that was if not fraudulently acquired, was definitely purchased in a very shady way. Of course, the fact that a State Labor MP was involved with the land deal and the matter of zoning, may go part of the way to explaining the lack of news about the situation.
Is it because we are a country town, therefore it is far easier to apply a label to us?
Why also, haven’t we heard a peep about Bankstown Muslim High being investigated for fraud? The media can’t contain themselves when they report the amounts of taxpayers money being channelled into private schools, yet they don’t mention the $11,000,000 a year being given to Bankstown Muslim high, which is the subject of said investigation.
Why don’t the ABC investigate where the money to build these new muslim schools is coming from?
Why also is there no more mention made of the school in Perth that was shut down because the students were only being taught how to read the Koran and nothing else. Also, that $350,000 dollars in grants to the school were sent overseas to fund training schools for terrorists?
Very simple questions to be asked, I would have thought.
#11 Yes. He was a real no-hoper never amounted to anything.
Posted by stackja1945 on 2008 03 10 at 10:13 PM • permalinkFor some reason I knowingly wasted my time going on the online forum after the broadcast of this effluvia of apologia, in particular to comment on Neighbour’s response to someone who made the glaringly obvious observation that the entire item showed “typical ABC slant”.
As of last night my response was still being moderated- I note it’s now there after the discussion has been closed and Sally’s jumped on her mustang and is safely away from having to answer; my comment:-
You miss the point; it may well be the first time the ABC has bothered to examine the local risk, but like every other item run on this subject it’s been weighted totally towards the “marginalised and maligned” long-suffering Mulsim population, and every claim of villification and provocation is taken as being unblemished truth. This illustrates the disconnect not only of the ABC from the majority of Australians but from global reality. I note also that any “Australian” featured came from the less erudite end of town, to try to put forward the view that it is only yobbos and bogans opposed to the Islamification of SW Sydney, funded by Wah’habi “charities” in Saudi Arabia. BTW, it’s only “so-xalled” to effete western journalists, not to troops on the ground in the Middle East and intelligence operatives worldwide.
No doubt there were plenty of others in a similar vein held over until the thread had been closed and no response made. I can almost tolerate the ABC shilling for the Greens and the ALP, but when they act as a PR service for the enemy they’ve well and truly crossed the line of acceptable behaviour.
O/T, but also last night on where else, Snow Cone Tone had major league moonbat Cathy Zoi on Lateline, snorking on about carbon caused catastrophe, with more free kicks given by Tones than by a Pommy ref during a Wallaby/All Blacks test; every pearl of wisdom from the Cathster’s gob was met with drooling obsequiousness and nary a query from the hardnosed reporter, who probably was pitching a hootchi under the desk for the duration. Sickening and pathetic.
#14- I meant to mention that as well; it appears that being a Lebanese Moslem presents you with two lifestyle alternatives- a car-rebirthing, drug-dealing thug and gangsta-wanna-be, or an unemployable hirsute misogynist with views attuned to a time when the earth was flat and extended to the rim of the Mediterranean.
Either one’s a real addition to a modern secular free democracy. They then wonder why their held in some disdain.
Funny also, Chinese media is starting to report on exactly who those fun loving Pixies were who tried to light a molotov cocktail on a flight to Beijing last week. You guessed right if your answer started with M and ends in uslim.
So poverty is the cause eh? One wonders why the legions of old folk in HK who make ends meet by collecting bits of cardboard haven’t resorted to the same methods their oppressed brothers of the desert have used.
#20 Habib,
after reading your earlier post, I decided to look at some of the comments before and after yours at the ABC thing.I found this comment. Obviously, mussies have been here a lot longer than we realised!!!
LMAO!!!
SALLY NEIGHBOUR: Camden in south-western Sydney – where residents are fighting a planned new Islamic school - could be any town in Australia.
(EXCERPT CONTINUED):
MAN (in crowd): Where does it go from there?
(END OF EXCERPT)
SALLY NEIGHBOUR: These are hard-working, God-fearing folk, fiercely patriotic, proud of their heritage, and willing to fight for what they believe in.
Really? God-fearing? What, all of them?
Not only does Neighbour not tell us how she arrived at this stunning conclusion, I have a sneaking suspicion she means this not as a compliment, but uses the expression as code for something rather less admirable.
Neighbour is rewriting history.
Like hell! She’s a bloody liar!
Plain and simple.
She’s probably just trying to get back in the good books with her silly Leftie mates after comments she made last year that went along the lines…Moslems only have themselves to blame for their poor image with the public not the media.
I watched that documentary last night. It was absolutely appalling.
At no point throughout the WHOLE program did she ask the necessary questions to these supposedly “alienated” Muslims, such as: do you support radical Islamism? What is your opinion of Osama bin Laden? Do you want sharia law instituted in Australia? Do you respect the rule of law?
She didn’t do this one iota but gave plenty of airtime to these loonies who went on and on about stringent security measures.
Well, if they didn’t have a problem or nothing to hide, then they shouldn’t care.
After all, why would ASIO and the AFP be concerned with other groups in Australia? It’s not like the Buddhists or Hindus are planning to destroy Australia or kill civilians. To date, since September 11, over 10,000 verifiable acts of Islamic terrorism have been seen across the world. Therefore, Muslims as a community are in the hotseat and need to demonstrate that they are “moderate” and don’t support radical Islamists.
Yet, this rarely occurs. Hence, they should all be scrutinised. Tough. Deal with it.

Also, one of the terrorists behind the recent Jerusalem shooting was a driver and held an identity card that Israel issues to Palestinians who live in East Jerusalem. Scott notes:
The whole “Palestine is an open prison” argument espoused by useful idiots like John Pilger is now moot. The guy had a job, a pass to get into Israel and still chose the course of murder and terror. He walked into a seminary and opened fire killing students who did nothing but attend classes. He did it because imams and other Islamic leaders heap praise on those who martyr themselves and take out as many innocent women and children as they can. He chose the seminary because he was a coward who hunted soft targets and not ones who could defend themselves.

O/T, but also last night on where else, Snow Cone Tone had major league moonbat Cathy Zoi.
I saw this and totally agree. So much for balanced reporting - (just a moment while I throw up) - Zoi’s carbon targets, cap and trade comments etc., are dangerous drivel because if she and her lot get their way and her fellow travellers here too, the US and the Australian economies will be strangled. It is fascinating that all these moonbats seem to imagine it is feasible to harness the sun’s energy to ‘meet’ our energy supply requirements. Forget for the moment that electricity cann’t be stored, the sun’s energy is weak (on the surface of the earth), is only available for a limited time each day and the way the energy can be captured and used is governed by the laws of science. That makes the exercise very inefficient and costly. The other one doing the rounds at the moment is carbon storage, i.e., pumping the exhaust stack emissions from coal power stations underground. Sure - only thing is that it would take half the output of a power station to do just that given favourable conditions. But no doubt the moonbats will continue to sing about all this stuff, but unless someone can come up some new laws of thermodynamics, properties of matter, etc., no one will be able to deliver!
And whilst I’m on this O/T rant, last week in New York on March 4 the ‘Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change’ was signed at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change. The conference was attended by over 500 people (scientists, economists, and policy makers) with over 100 speakers delivering keynote addresses and participating in panel discussions, but as pointed out by Phillip Stott, it has not been reported in the MSM.
It is no surprise it has not been reported in the MSM so it’s up to the Internet to shout it to the world.
I’ll post the declaration separately.
OT
The Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change
‘Global warming’ is not a global crisis
We, the scientists and researchers in climate and related fields, economists, policymakers, and business leaders, assembled at Times Square, New York City, participating in the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change,
Resolving that scientific questions should be evaluated solely by the scientific method;
Affirming that global climate has always changed and always will, independent of the actions of humans, and that carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant but rather a necessity for all life;
Recognising that the causes and extent of recently observed climatic change are the subject of intense debates in the climate science community and that oft-repeated assertions of a supposed ‘consensus’ among climate experts are false;
Affirming that attempts by governments to legislate costly regulations on industry and individual citizens to encourage CO2 emission reduction will slow development while having no appreciable impact on the future trajectory of global climate change. Such policies will markedly diminish future prosperity and so reduce the ability of societies to adapt to inevitable climate change, thereby increasing, not decreasing, human suffering;
Noting that warmer weather is generally less harmful to life on Earth than colder:
Hereby declare:
That current plans to restrict anthropogenic CO2 emissions are a dangerous misallocation of intellectual capital and resources that should be dedicated to solving humanity’s real and serious problems.
That there is no convincing evidence that CO2 emissions from modern industrial activity has in the past, is now, or will in the future cause catastrophic climate change.
That attempts by governments to inflict taxes and costly regulations on industry and individual citizens with the aim of reducing emissions of CO2 will pointlessly curtail the prosperity of the West and progress of developing nations without affecting climate.
That adaptation as needed is massively more cost-effective than any attempted mitigation and that a focus on such mitigation will divert the attention and resources of governments away from addressing the real problems of their peoples.
That human-caused climate change is not a global crisis.
Now, therefore, we recommend -
That world leaders reject the views expressed by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as popular, but misguided works such as An Inconvenient Truth.
That all taxes, regulations, and other interventions intended to reduce emissions of CO2 be abandoned forthwith.
Agreed at New York, 4 March 2008. [End of Declaration]OT, but I loved this statement on this morning’s Radio National AM about the current state of affairs in Israel:
“BEN KNIGHT: For more than three days there’s barely been a rocket fired towards Israel from Gaza.”

New doco upcoming on The History Channel (Oz Sun 8:30pm) A Global Warning? questions man-made global warming - an inconvenient doco, Al?Did you notice that the ABC failed to interview a single major Moslem leader to ask the pertinent questions:
1. Are you intending to wage a national campaign to eliminate radical and extremist teachers of Islam from your community, and puiblcvly disavow any and every act of terrorism by Moslems?
2. Are you going to allow your young people to chose their own religion, or will your community apply force to keep them as practising Moslems, which is itself a denial of democracy, peace and freedom?
Isn’t that the only way you as a group can earn the full respect and support of other Australians in an age of Islamic oppression and terrorism?The ABC is obviously unaware that such a program would be both popular and very useful, instead of yet another exercise in false victimhood which they offer up to the great god Multiculti.
PARENTS should be happy for their children to undergo a multicultural experience in NSW public schools, Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard said.
Ms Gillard was responding to a report that public schools in NSW were suffering “white flight” as Anglo-European students avoided racially diverse institutions…
“Part of growing up and part of being an adult in Australia today is you have got to have the ability to mix in multicultural Australia…”
So says Julia who works in the whitest workplace, in the whitest city, in the whitest territory of Australia and doesn’t have any kids.

Thanks for the Declaration text. Interesting that this whole exercise passed the MSM by completely.
In the meantime, the MSM informs us that Australia will now meet its Kyoto emissions targets after all!
LinkKev works fast. He’s brought all this about in just over 100 days too (including weekends), whereas under poor old John Howard, the country apparently had no hope of meeting the targets (though he said many times, barely reported by the MSM, that it was on track).
Not only that, Kev reported to Parliament that he was submitting Australia’s initial report under the Kyoto Protocol today, 11 March 2008, one year ahead of its deadline! [/gag]
Really fast worker, that Kev. And in just over 100 days (including weekends).
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he could be as fast when it comes to terrorism, or in dealing with the more belligerent members of the Australian population?
BTW, in the past few months in Sydney I’ve noticed for the first time ever AFP cars cruising round the city itself and suburbs. Is this happening in other Australian cities?
#45, #30
Dave, I have checked TROP’s reporting methodology and it is pretty sound. When we validated their reports, they scored 85-90% for getting the basic facts (date, place, number killed).
So it’s pretty reliable, even though based on media reporting. They said when I asked them that they tried to get at least two separate and non-wire service reports before going definite.
MarkL
Canberra#40
Snow Cone Tone’s just afraid of a melt-down ...Spiny #45:
I’m astounded. Only 10,699 killed since 9/11?
This is a mere pittance, a piffling number of approximately 1,650 per annum who have directly died as a result of the desperate actions of the freedom-fighters and martyrs of the muhajeen.
Out of 6 billion less 1.5 billion = 4.5 billion potential victims, 10,699 is a success rate of 0.00028%. It’s going to take forever to kill all the infidels.
Seriously, Spiny, it is such an insignificant statistical blip, that I wouldn’t worry in the slightest about so-called Muslim so-called violence.
In fact, you should note well that most of the 10,699 infidel deaths have been as a result of border conflict and localised demarcation disputes, rather than the glorious waging of jihad.
I would say that 80% of infidel deaths fall into either of the above categories (border conflict and localised demarcation disputes), which means that only 20% of 10,699 deaths (i.e. 2,140) are an intrinsic result of the waging of Holy Jihad.
So, let’s go to the Tally Room for a moment: 2,140 infidels, versus 4,000 US troops since 9/11. 2,140 infidels versus 650,000 billion Iraqi deaths since the illegal invasion, Bu$h’s war to secure oil supplies for the Great Satan.
Look how much cheaper OIL is now than in March 2003 when the illegal invasion began. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE OIL !!!!1!!!1!!

Posted by mr creosote on 2008 03 11 at 05:51 AM • permalinkSally Neighbour is a twat. Her lack of journalistic integrity and desire for opportunistic sensationalism were highlighted about three years ago when she flew to deepest Africa and reported on a story regarding an Australian company and its complicity in the deaths of some locals who worked there.
Since then the silence has been deafening.
I’m sure if Sally could continue to beat that drum, she would have.
Her report in all its essence concluded that
1. The white Australian company was guilty, and
2. The black Africans were the victims (heard that before)
Her ignorance was baffling. She chose to ignore the ‘Africa factor’ and analysed the situation as though it was happening in her own back yard with all her Four Corners values.
If she reported this stuff in Australia she would compete with Tracee for gimp of the millenium. But she hangs off her overseas bough for the supposed credibility it brings.
This latest wank about the Muslims of the UK was written with the progressives in mind.

Later I count many lapsed Micks as my mates, and enjoy their occasional torment over theological issues; as a lapsed Anglican I don’t give a fuck about anything, as long as those Papists don’t interfere with me beheading ugly girlfriends.
#72 Mr C. I actually think the malaise in Qld Rugby is due to the Generation Y factor at Catholic schools. There is now murder no more at the breakdown at QRU Club level when the Catholics of Nudgee play the agnostics (or Protestants) of other clubs.

Posted by MentalFloss on 2008 03 11 at 06:49 PM • permalinkThe daft bint on 4 Corners failed to ask any questions about the supremacist ideology that emanates from the Qur’anic assertions that Muslims are the “best of people” (3:110) while unbelievers are the “vilest of created beings” (98:6). Unbelievers are unclean (9:28). Qur’anic imperatives to wage war against and subjugate Jews and Christians (9:29) and war against other unbelievers (9:5).
She didn’t call attention to the problematic aspects of the Qur’an, thus providing an opportunity for Muslims who profess to reject jihad violence and Islamic supremacism to explain how they approach such texts, and how they propose to disabuse jihadists of their understanding of them.
The use that jihadists make of elements of the Qur’an and Mohammed’s teaching in general to justify violence against and even genocide of non-Muslims makes it incumbent upon peaceful Muslims to perform a searching re-evaluation of how they understand those elements, so as to neutralize their capacity to set Muslims against non-Muslims.
And it is likewise incumbent upon responsible figures in the media to begin to challenge Muslim groups on this, instead of giving them a platform for their absurd grievance theatre.I just watched part of the Neighbour expose. (I couldn’t sit through all of the drivel, especially listening to those fine, upstanding Aussie Born and Bred Muslim boys who can barely articulate their thoughts… They should have spent more time at school learning the language and other skills which would much better prepare them to be good citizens of the community.)
What a joke.
I’m sure one of you lot will let me know when/if there’s a programme on this issue which doesn’t present Muslims as whinging, whining hard-done-by victims and does ask the hard questions of them.
I won’t be holding my breath, however.

Admittedly the quote says they “flourished” not “languished” in their communities.
Does everyone else hate it that they’re always “marginalised” by war
on terror policies? Why do France get attacked when their war on
terror policies are much more generous to the Muslims?
