#1 "These remarks were offensive and wrong..."
Translation: "Dammit! We got caught! Make up some excuse--quick!"

#2 Hey at least he felt pressured to make an excuse

In Australia they still talk open treason.

Like Keysar Trad, chief apologist for Mufti of Sydney and Islamist extraordinaire.

To welcome the eid festival he made a lovely speech in which he said 'in these times when there is a war against muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechenya and Palestine.'

Australia is also shoulder-to-shoulder with the US and UK on Iraq: so he is effectively spouting treason. He doesn't feel pressured even to make a poor excuse or an apology! I wish we were as good as Germany and the Netherlands at reigning in the Islamists!

#4 The use of Arabic to preach in mosques insures they can say this outrageous stuff and no one will ever know about it.

The Greens are morons but we knew that. Schroederâs Social Democrats are only against it because it will cost money, not on principal.

Translation: "Quick, let's don the kneepads!!"

wonder what's being said OFF camera?

"Those eenfeedel peegs caught me on tape. There weel not be a next time."

#10 "The use of Arabic to preach in mosques insures they can say this outrageous stuff and no one will ever know about it."

Who says only Islamists speak Arabic? SOPD, you havent LIVED until youve heard a gang of working class Moroccan Jewish youths singing "Begin, king of Israel" in ARABIC, while traveling by bus through the Negev.
