<< ONLY A FEW HUNDRED TO GO ~ MAIN ~ PATIENCE LOST >>
OSAMA VAN LADEN
Snapped by ausdiplomad a year or so ago as it headed away from Lakemba, south west of central Sydney:
Just a guess, but the occupants may currently be pondering a recent venue controversy.
A Muslim group that planned to hold a meeting in a Sydney town hall has had its booking cancelled after previously breaching a hire agreement not to incite hatred, racism and discrimination.
The group, Hizb ut-Tahrir, has been linked to the London bombings and is banned by several European and Middle Eastern countries ...
Wassim Doureihi, a spokesman for Hizb ut-Tahrir, said the group had previously booked conferences at the council under the name Risala.
“Its decision to withdraw our application for the venue is tantamount to them acknowledging publicly that the Muslim voice will not be accepted in the public debate,” Mr Doureihi said.

Seriously though.. this is one where Germany has one up on us… these kind of plates are Banned as are certain given names - yes you have to get clearance from the government before you name your child.Posted by CanberraNeoCon on 2007 01 10 at 10:38 AM • permalinkSeriously though.. this is one where Germany has one up on us… these kind of plates are Banned as are certain given names - yes you have to get clearance from the government before you name your child.
In the US (depending on the states) there are custom plates you can’t get. Although you can sometimes get them past relatively clueless DMV employees. Somewhere in Montana in the mid ‘90s there was a “HOE GIRL” plate.

(for those unaware the Diplomatic Vehicles carry these plates - the more impoverished the people of the country the more expensive the car usually.

Haw! Good one, Mark! Although I’m sure the owner means to imply that he’s in favor of the warm, fuzzy kind of jihad, not the bloody, violent sort.
Pretty dumb move. Really, it’s kind of hard to take a group’s protestations of peaceful intent seriously when you have so many members of that group either bewailing the alien nature of the society in which they chose to live, or, in effect, wearing sandwich boards that say, “I reserve the right to destroy you when I think the time is ripe.”
#16 In that case call up your 50 cousins via mobile phone. Oh, wait…

Do a damn good number on that Burqaless van, it would.
Maybe it’s an entrant for the all new Paris to Teheran Rally (ie replaces Dakar).
Entrants are souped up…before blowing up next to populated areas along the way.
They can cover it on Al-Jazeera…..
“....an’ now here’s Salim in his Volvo Turbo PE (plastic explosives)....the Pakistani entrant wants to reach Valhala…not on our map…must be a short cut to curry favour with the judges…”
Imagine using them as an advert for your car:
The all new Renault Turbo WE (with explosives)- just the thing for your Jihad, pictured Ali blowing up outside Khartoum (road maps available)
They’d have nicotine in their underwear were they ever to come face-to-face with the pathological violence they romanticize.
Certainly would if I was leading a patrol and ran into them…
Oh, and paco - if we ever meet, you owe me half a cup of coffee (which I lost) for
wearing sandwich boards that say,“I reserve the right to destroy you when I think the time is ripe.”
Darn good stuff.
Posted by Major John on 2007 01 10 at 03:49 PM • permalinkStand by for an announcement from the BBC that Bankstown Council has Murdered Hope for the peaceniks.
All the perfumes in Araby will not sweeten the ingrained, odious and pernicious attitudes of the BBC.I take people like this seriously. And you should, too, by purchasing the Providential Assurance Caliphate Ouster insurance policy. For pennies a day, you can protect your loved ones from the risk of having to live in a society where the women dress in pup tents and the men trigger anxiety attacks in livestock. Remember: “Paco’s got you covered.”
#23 Major John: I will gladly spring for a full cup of coffee.
No doubt the owners filled it up with their religion of peace mates and trundled down to Cronulla a couple of years ago to add to the riot and affray so it’s lucky it’s only a Nissan Nomad and not a dirty great bus.
Posted by Jack Lacton on 2007 01 10 at 04:20 PM • permalinkWe’re possibly misinterpreting this. I read the plate as shorthand for “Julie Is Happy - 44D.” Breast augmentation is fairly common nowadays, after all.
Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2007 01 10 at 04:34 PM • permalinkI’m presuming that these morons have at least paid their registration.
That’s more that we can say for the Mufti who not only doesn’t register his car but also fails one of the basic steps in the citizenship test by not tying an old pair of red jocks around building materials pretruding from the vehicle.
http://www.abc.net.au/am/stories/s758722.htm
http://www.abc.net.au/pm/stories/s758936.htmOf course it was inappropriate of the police to have arrested the Mufti as he was being taken out of context at the time when he failed to register his car.
I have no patience for religious fundamentalists of any kind, but this mob is really beginning to get my goat. What is it about this particular religion that causes some of its followers such unhappiness that they want to take the joy out of everyone else’s lives?
I am also very offended - it was no coincidence that the Khalifa Conference was scheduled for the day after Australia Day.
Hizb ut-Tahrir is now I hear planning to sue Bankstown Council. Bring it on, I say! Let’s hear the arguments against the decision!

Diplomatic vehicles are sold tax and duty free and then resold at a higher price so it’s actually a money making process that those from poorer countries exploit.

Well, if they got your goat before Eid, they probably slit its throat.

Went to the 20/20 cricket last night - NSW v Tassie
And Andrew Johns scored more runs than six of the English batsmen playing OZ the other night
For those of you living elsewhere other than OZ Andrew Johns is a wonderfully talented Rugby League player playing cricket for in a promotion for the NSW team
And I’ve been reading about cricket in the US
There are 50,000 cricketers over there - and even Pres Bush has had a go with a bat - see pic
goodie the cricket invasion of the US has started!
Now this article is a good read - the history of cricket in the US

Note his implicit assumption that the only true Muslim voice has to be that of advocates of vicious terrorism. Do Muslims want us to take that same view, because if we do it will be hard on them. It won’t be prejudice, it will be postjudice, a conclusion reached based on their own behavior and expressed views. If not they ought to get off their sitz-platzes and run these bastards out of their communities and help destroy the terrorist groups and their apologists.

“Let’s hear it for Bankstown, which understands the difference between a liberal principle and being played for suckers in the attempt to destroy it. But the incident also dramatises the extent to which Australia is squarely in the global Islamisation frame.”Lets hear it for Melanie Phillips too !
Getting back to the “Muslim lifesavers in special bathers” controversy, Muslim women in New Zealand are now demanding segregated swimming pools.
They made it a health issue, which will give the Labour government the opening it needs to build brand new pools all over the place, no doubt:
Christchurch Muslim Naaz Shah said there was nowhere for Muslim women to swim without compromising their religious beliefs.
Because of this, many Muslim women had no opportunities to exercise and were putting on weight.
The Health Ministry, which has just spent $6 million on new offices while claiming they don’t have $150,000 which would settle a dispute which has “stretched cancer patients’ waiting lists to dangerous lengths”, will no doubt get right on it.

I notice that the opinion poll next to this article showed that just 3% of readers thought this to be a good idea. I wonder of the council will be as sensible.
Posted by pommygranate on 2007 01 10 at 10:37 PM • permalinkI see in Deutsche Welle, the Euros are wringing their hands over the US attack on the Islamist stronghold in Somalia. The Italians are not very happy, it was once one of their colonies. But what a joke. For most of the 20th century, it was a past time for them to try and wipe each other out. It won’t be long before the EU will become Eurostan. They certainly role over quick.
The Ethiopians have more guts than that lot of talk fest idiots will ever have. That goes for the other outfit of corruption and stupidity called the UN.They don’t mess around in China. No PC there:
“CHINA revealed the depth of its fear of Islamic-linked violence yesterday when police disclosed they had killed 18 suspected terrorists and captured another 17 after a fierce battle at a secret training camp in a remote northwestern region. It was the first time that China had announced the discovery of such a camp in its territory.”
[From a report for The Times by Jane Macartney in Beijing]
#57 Precisely. Y’know, back in NZ I kept asking the question “If they’re allowed a Maori All Blacks (no, seriously) are we allowed to start a team that excludes Maoris?” but the shushing noises sounded like a 767 taking off.
My son’s half Maori and looks like he’s headed to representing his country in cricket. Alas there’s no Maori Black Caps to ensure he can be chosen on something other than merit, so he’ll just have to rely on being damned good.
The Brits are also wringing thir hands over ‘our inadequately equipped boys’. A confidential leaked email reveals ‘a disaster waiting to happen’.
“The English were hopelessly unprepared for the battle that lay ahead, and were not provided with even the most basic equipment they needed to survive for more than a few minutes.”
The email reveals that the English players had no “batsmen, fielders or bowlers”.
The intercepted email sent home by one of the Brits was obtained by Private Eye
Dear Mum
Well here we are in Oz. It is very hot. Captain Flintoff is doing his best in impossible circumstances, but the Aussies are chucking everything at us. They are merciless. Private Trescers had the right idea, legging it off back to Blighty with a gammy headwound..Posted by pommygranate on 2007 01 10 at 11:07 PM • permalinkPools for Muslims only? Don’t let them pull this scam. Muslim women can’t swim because they must obey the reactionary bigotry of their religion? Cry me a river. You want to live in a burka, you get to take the consequences.
But why must they screw the public over this? If Muslims in Enzed are like those in the US of A, they are among the more affluent citizens on the average. Why don’t they build Muslim Community Centers with privately owned pools that the Muslims can use as their own andthus prevent the mixing of sexes in pools?
It probably would not help the women though, for the Muslim men will keep them out of such pools too, to “protect” their modesty.
Posted by Michael Lonie on 2007 01 11 at 12:16 AM • permalinkWhat about segregated public transport?...surely that’s nothing more than a fair demonstration of tolerance and consideration.
What about separate drinking fountains? It would probably promote hygiene.
Oh, what about separate models of Australian passports, after all, the current passport has the coat of arms on it, which includes the (christian) cross of St George on the bit that represents NSW. It’s much less controversial that way.
Maybe we could cherry pick some solutions from South African apartheid.
It’s so much easier to make small concessions than have a confrontation.
Who cares about the old symbols of our heritage? They’re stuffy and old fashioned! They’re not cool and funky at all!
Aaaarrgghh, now I’m starting to rant, someone chuck a bucket of water over me….
How does that car remain unmolested? I’d have taken the nearest big, solid item and smashed that car into pieces, prefferably with the occupant still in it. You Aussies, sometimes you’re too easy on folk.

Meanwhile over in Egypt (the pig) Hilali is at it again calling Australians liars with no democracy or freedoms. Andrew Bolt who was interviewed on nine news tonight suggested that with Hilali’s behaviour, the views he has expressed and his performance over the last 20 years, that if Muslims continue to assert that Hilali has been misunderstood and that he represents them, we should be asking if there is a place in Australia for Islam. And to cap it off, Keysar Trad was interviewed apologising once again for Hilali. “He was just tailoring his speech for the local Egyptian audience you know.”
So was Hilali misunderstood? Not likely or to use another expression ‘pigs arse’ he was.
Is there a place for this mediaeval creed in Australia? No.
There used to be one in the St George area of Sydney with the numberplate LEB08U.
