#3 you are kidding me

this is straight out of the playbook from Indonesia another Islamic nation.

Indonesia sent down scores of refugee boats to Australia causing chaos

We paid them money to stop them. they would reduce a bit then increase till we paid more.

until we got a Liberal government that turned back the boats and cut back the aid.

indonesia chucked a wobbly

but the boats dried up.

Turkey is just doing exactly the same as Indonesia. perhaps they learnt after HT members from Australia flew to Ankara - maybe they shared the wisdom.

#4 How about spending the money on border guards with automatic weapons and concertina wire?

#5 Isn't the term "jizya"?

anon1, what does "chucked a wobbly" mean? Has a nice ring. Is it similar to "had a cow" or "shit bricks?"
