Abu Bakar Martin Bashir, the Islamic terror mastermind and journalist?

Confusing, I know.

Australia deserved the Bali bombing for their imperialistic foreign policy and support of Israel. It's a case of the chickens coming home to roost.

Exactly whose arguments are you parodying here?

Any particular members of SG Liberals, or just "Democrats" generally?

The general apologies for 9/11

The "general apologies"?

Not many of the people who regularly and vehemently disagree with you on this site think the US "deserved 9/11", just as I don't think Australia "deserved Bali".

Not many here about 9/11, none about Bali. I am just saying there are very many who believe America had 9/11 who had it coming for its transgressions.

The few people who might say that the root cause of Islamic terorism may lay in Islam itself (such as people at http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/) are dismissed as racist cranks.

But if America was justifiably hit by terrorists for its terrible foreign policy and support and support of Israel, why then was Australia?

So ... most of us aren't saying the US deserved 9/11 or Australia deserved Bali, but you decided to respond as if we did.

Just trying to get things clear here.

I never voted for Bush. Oh, wait, I'm Canadian. Never mind.

Anyway, the name "Abu" keeps reminding me of "Apu" on "The Simpsons". Draw your own conclusions.

At least he got a trial. The UK has decided that trials are not needed for certain people.

Yes. Oddly enough, it's as though a third world country is setting some major Western powers an example.


I mean, this trial is troubling in a number of ways, but at the very least you can point to it and say "The guy went to court."

It is sad to me that we have gotten to the point where some people can justify the death of civilians because some Government had it coming.

Many of the people that died on 9/11 or in Bali most likely had nothing to personally do with government policy or aiding Israel.

So, what exactly is the justification for the terrorist again? You seem to think you know all the answers Stockula...so what are they.

As a child I was disappointed to find that kangaroo courts did not actually have kangaroos. Not even a joey.

Martin Bashir makes a hideous documentary where the self-styled "King of Pop" is strong armed into admitting he takes little boys to bed with him.

Abu Bakar Bashir does something as innocuous as using religion to persuade suicide bombers to murder hundreds of people at a holiday resort.

Martin Bashir goes to court and is lauded as some sort of hero journalist, while Abu Bakar Bashir goes to court and gets two years in prison.

Where's the justice?

Stockula is just being an ass.

Your attempt at wit is even more thinly stretched than stockula's.
