Looks like the Balinese are willing to shed their peaceful image. And who could blame them?
BALI’S police chief has called for calm amid a phone-message campaign urging Balinese Hindus to kill all Muslims on the island in retaliation for the triple suicide bombings by suspected Islamic extremists.
A mobile phone text message received by the AAP wire news service urges Balinese people to “wake up from a long sleep”.
Hat-tip to Observa.

Haven’t they been listening to the dumb Australian Left? The bombings are Australia’s fault, don’t they know?

I’ve always said there’s an art to it.
The Japanese artist Tomoko Takahashi is quite content with her work, however. After all, it’s not every one-time Turner Prize nominee who gets a £5,000 grant to down 48 bottles of lager and then try to walk across a balancing beam.

She trying to get into the Australian cricket team?
More a case of “Pissed? . . . Christ!” than Piss Christ.

A poll shows 75 per cent of Australians support the Federal Government anti-terror laws.

Reaction to the poll in today’s Sydney Morning Herald’s letters column shows that Aussie-hating playwright David Williamson is not alone with his snobbish hysteria:
Check out these excerpts from the superior classes.

This sentiment may explain why Fairfax is sacking all those journos. Their readers must be about to desert the country in droves.
I have never been a “bleeding heart” as far as law and order are concerned, but I am concerned that the new “no talk” policy will lead to a Pinochet-type order in Australia.

There’s lots of patronising “they know not what they do”:
Three-quarters of Australians support the new anti-terrorism legislation? Lambs leading themselves to the slaughter.
I give up. What’s the use in fighting against the creation of a police state when most of the country is enthusiastically running towards it?

This idiot suspects there will be a terrorist attack. But that doesn’t frighten him. It’s the refusal to bow to savagery that has him dirtying his bloomers:
When these new laws are passed, however, I will probably still get blown up but it will be in a country scared witless and believing the “greatest civil liberty is to stay alive”.

Wouldn’t be a SMH anti-Howard blitzkreig without the Hitler reference.
No sooner did Hitler’s army invade Hungary in March 1944 than my father, as part of the democratic intelligentsia, was arrested by the SS. But we were still allowed to tell one and all what happened to us.
With the planned laws, if ASIO arrests me due to my anti-Howard views my family will not be allowed to tell anyone. Goodbye free speech.
Oh nice, Hitler had greater respect for free speech than Howard. And these blowflies think they are intellectually superior.

But for sheer chutzpah, you can’t go past David Ash of Bondi Beach’s final solution:
That the vast majority like the laws is not as depressing as it seems. We can use the laws to arrest them, and detain them in a huge gated community, with a lot of McMansions and home theatres and no one who looks any different.
The rest of us can get on with life, and see, it’s true, everyone’s a winner under this Government.

So 75 per cent of Australians all look the same?

He/she’s an evil bugger, that SMH letters editor, making so many look so stupid at the same time in one little place.

Denmark is proving to be the backbone of lily-livered Europe. A Danish publication has thrown down the gauntlet to death-devoted Islamofascist lunatics:
ISLAM is no laughing matter. Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten is being protected by security guards and several cartoonists have gone into hiding after the newspaper published a series of 12 cartoons about the prophet Mohammed.
According to Islam, it is blasphemous to make images of the prophet. Muslim fundamentalists have threatened to bomb the paper’s offices and kill the cartoonists.
The newspaper published the cartoons when a Danish author complained that he could find no one to illustrate his book about Mohammed. Jyllands-Posten wondered whether there were more cases of self-censorship regarding Islam in Denmark and asked 12 illustrators to draw the prophet for [it]. Carsten Juste, the paper’s editor, said the cartoons were a test of whether the threat of Islamic terrorism had limited the freedom of expression in Denmark.
The publication led to outrage among Muslim immigrants living in Denmark. Five thousand of them took to the streets to protest. Muslim organisations have demanded an apology, but Juste rejects this idea: “We live in a democracy. That’s why we can use all the journalistic methods we want to. Satire is accepted in this country and you can make caricatures.” . . . An organisation [that] calls itself the Glorious Brigades in Northern Europe is circulating pictures on the internet which show bombs exploding over pictures of the newspaper and blood flowing over the national flag of Denmark. . . . Danish imam Raed Hlayhel [says]: “This type of democracy is worthless for Muslims. Muslims will never accept this kind of humiliation. The article has insulted every Muslim in the world.”

In another part of Europe, a young Muslim has no problem making a graphic comment about a religious figure:
The immigrant published a poster depicting the Virgin Mary with naked breasts. Euro Micks refrained from any threats of bombs or bloodshed, although there have been some protests from Catholics — not the bishops, mind you. Yet Euro-trash authorities are certainly not planning to censor the offensive dawber.
On the contrary, he is being subsidised by the Ministry for Culture.
