Those miserable bastards. Imagine the nerve of these people. Living in a beautiful and free country and wanting to kill and maim innocent people. It's frightening and frankly mind boggling.

Mallee, what do you think your country will do about the increasing muslim terrorist attacks? Are aussies passive and sympathetic to them ( i think that's where canadians are at ), or do you think your Gov. will become pro-active? I think the world needs a country to stand up for their way of life ( set an example ) hopefully it's you guys!
