Guys, I'm a 6th Generation Aussie .. as patriotic as they come, yet also like many other Australians, very tolerant.
I do however, absolutely condemn and despise these barbaric muslim extremists as much as anyone and feel they should sent back to the 7th Century AD to re-think their religious philosophy.
Please don't take my analogies too literally Dalirymple. You're running too far with the ball and have missed the point. You've gotta think more holistically about this situation. Forget the government, forget Germany etc ... in fact just forget what I said and go about your day mate!
