#1 MUSLIMS are outraged.

Well, that's never happened before!

Australia's peak Muslim body said the proposed citizenship question - revealed in the Herald Sun - was disturbing and potentially divisive.

Of course, Muslims are never devisive. Really!

Australian Federation of Islamic Councils president Dr Ameer Ali said the "Abrahamic tradition" or "universal values" would be less divisive ways of describing the nation's moral base.

Is that because Christ wasn't around in the time of Abraham?

Dr Ali said use of the term Judeo-Christian was the result of "WWII guilt", and before 1945 Australia would have been called only Christian.

Bingo! Finally, blame it on all the guilt Westerners feel over the Holocaust that never happened. Didn't see that one coming at all.

"That question must be rephrased," he said.

Whassamatter, insufficient dawa quotient?

Dr Ali was backed by Democrats senator Lyn Allison, who said the answer to the question was highly debatable.

For a democrat, yes it probably is.

"This is not an exercise in political correctness.

Well, at least not for Mr. Andrews.

The more divisiveness the better. I want blue water between me and Orc ideology.

#4 All the Muslims ever do over here is whine and complain, bang their heads against brick walls, and stomp their feet and throw their arms in the air when they don't get their own way.
What a bunch of unwelcomed losers.

#5 #4: "All the ~~Muslims~~ moslems ever do ~~over here~~ anywhere is whine and complain, bang their heads against brick walls, and stomp their feet and throw their arms in the air when they don't get their own way."

There - fixed that for ya', Oz.

(BTW, I changed "Muslim" because I save the respect of that appellation for normal people like the friends I have who just happen to follow that particular religion, but don't think everyone else should be forced to; don't care if we drink alcohol or eat pork - even in front of them; don't care how other people dress; don't hate Jews; etc. They're better Americans than a lot of native-born non-Muslim Americans. Starting with the vast majority of the dhimmi-Donks.)

#6 now wait a minute. The guards and officials were all christians afaik. The only Jews present at Oz' founding were criminals (usually of the nonviolent variety, AFAIK) Surely, in all those thousands of pickpockets, thugs, petty thieves, swindlers, etc, etc there has to have been at least ONE muslim?
