@Rembrandt you make good points about the Qu'ran. It's a tough read alright and not difficult to see what drives these extremists, they really just follow it to the letter. Putting terrorism aside there are some widespread very backwards beliefs within the Muslim community which fly right in the face of the values and rights we have fought hard for in the west.
Sam Harris was not wrong when he described Islam as the motherload of bad ideas.

Then why is it indulged in a way that would never be allowed for hard core Christianity (or even pretty standard Christianity for that manner)? Is it simply because the majority of Muslims have a different coloured skin and any criticism of anyone with a different coloured skin has to be racism and bigotry by default? Is it that standard knee-jerk post-modernist bullshit where our culture, history, values suck and everyone else is better? It's certainly not based on facts or any form of intellectual consistency. Islam is an ideology, a set of ideas. Equating criticism of Islam to racism is beyond absurd.

...and it's just come through that at least 1 of the guys just been arrested for planning a massacre in Melbourne was previously a preacher at the Islamic recruitment stand next across from where Sisto was murdered. No doubt they'll be there as they are every Saturday preaching "Islam or death" with full support of the newly re-elected Labor Premier.
