#1 Iraqi Islamic Council of Australia president Mohammed Taha Alsalami said he believed Australian troops should stay the distance in Iraq. "I think the troops should stay there," he said. "(Pulling troops out) is not the opinion of the Iraqi people, not the opinion of the Iraqi Australians here, because that would give the green light to the Taliban-like bodies to take control."

Wow! That's headline material!

#2 I'm not sure it's even possible to alienate muslims any further than they already are. At this point, Martians are less alien.

#3 ISLAMIC leaders at today's terrorism summit say Australia's military presence in Iraq is a prime cause of the alienation of the nation's Muslims, with some seeing it as "betrayal".

Wait a minute.....I thought it was always "The Occupation"&trade (as in Paleo Land) that was the big reason for Muslim "alienation"...

#4 Actually, Muslim policies (and actions) probably alienate Australians.

#6 These leaders are right. We are alienating the mf's from the maases and killing them.

A great plan it is!
