ABC lunchtime news.
The 5 Islamic fishermen who were towing their boat to Cape York so they could go to Syria have appeared in court. There were 15 or so supporters there for the plucky fishermen, and they refused to stand for the judge because she was a woman. The female ABC reporter said it was for "religious reasons" - no mention of what those religious reasons were.
Why not spend 5 minutes discussing Islam's attitude to women, we've days worth of discussions about "Abbott's Problem with Women". Its was because Islam regard women as 2nd class citizens who should be either locked in the house or dressed in a tent if they go outside. A woman's testimony is worth 1/2 that of a man. That these poor men should appear before a female judge would have enraged them.
Good for the judge, she refused bail and remanded them in custody until September. So plenty of time to hangout with other Jihadists and plan more multicultural social events for the Australian public.

How is reporting the news, "making excuses for Islam"...?
Any ol excuse to bash the ABC... Did you watch any other channels coverage? Did they spend 5mins discussing Islam's attitude to women while covering the court hearing? If not, why aren't you accusing them of 'making excuses for Islam?
