Nothing disturbs a bishop quite so much as the presence of a saint in the parish.

Monday, April 5th, 2010A certain no-talent ass-clown I know ….
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Further to my comments about my exit interview, that person also suggest a certain organisation that he thought I would benefit from. I struggled not to laugh out loud. Of course! Immediately, a lot of things about this guy started to make sense.
Shame on us: Residents of a Sydney council appose a Muslim School
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Camden Council opposes Islamic school development
Pauline Hanson had this to say:
“Every school in Australia is Christian apart from the Islamic schools. I have no understanding of what they teach in the Islamic school, do you?” Ms Hanson asked.
Are we surprised that she has “no understanding”? I'm not. And as I remember, my public primary school was not Christian, it was secular.
This bigot had the lion share of jaw-dropping quotes from the ABC TV article:
“Our democratic rights are being taken away. We just don't want [muslims] here. Not only in Camden, we dont want them in Australia. [All their countries] are dictatorships, they want to rule our world.”
Some other mind-bogglingly stupid comments.
“We're not bigots, we have the right to express our opinion.”
You have the right to express your opinion, if you are express a bigoted opinion, you are a bigot.
“My kids don't speak Arabic, so they cant go to this church. Next thing you know there'll be a mosque, then a little town … it's not right. It's totally not appropriate for the area.”
I'm not catholic, but I don't have a problem with Catholic churches, even if they continue to fuck young boys.
“I'm not saying all Muslims are bad. They are not all bad, but their teaching is.”
That's like saying: “The people of Camden aren't all bad, but they are all crack-whores”
ABC Reporter: Why are you wearing an Australia flag?
Bigot: Why not? Why shouldn't I? Why is the ABC against Australia?
Google turned up some more depressing bigotry from some small-minded douchebags:
The pigs’ heads, planted on wooden stakes on the Camden site, with the Australian flag draped between them, are believed to be in protest of the Muslim school proposal.
Found here. My response to that
Why is it that alot of people confuse “secular” with “Christian”? Would they appose a Buddhist Temple?

No longer able to slander.
Tuesday, July 5th, 2005
Australian Christians are bitterly whining
over the loss of their right to slander and defame other religions. The
loss of this right stemmed from the implementation of the Racial and
Religious Tolerance Act, which allows for complaints of breaches of
racial and religious tolerance. Some intolerant Christians have chosen
to portray themselves as martyrs. For instance, a pair of convicted Islamophobic pastors
have opted to go to jail instead of offering a public apology to the
Muslims they slandered. And it's not just Muslims. The law has also
been invoked to crack down on Christians who vilified Wiccans and Occultists.
Families Vs. Christians — Who Will Win?
Wednesday, June 29th, 2005Families Vs. Christians — Who Will Win?
“A parent who is Wiccan or pagan would be deeply offended by the characterization of their religious path as being likely to have had 'tremendous evil come from occult involvement.' A parent in a court-mandated program might not be able to object without suffering severe consequences, such as being ostracized or publicly ridiculed. Wiccans, Pagans, Druids, Santeros, Gnostic Christians, Qabbalists and Sufis are all considered to engage in mystic or occult religious practices… Those of us who practice 'occult' or non-mainstream religions are law-abiding, productive taxpayers and voters who simply wish to be afforded the same respect and tolerance that is the right of every American citizen.”
Kind of like trying to tell a muslims here in Cairo that, “No, I'm actually not a Christian”, to which they kind of give a startled look, and then ask what you are. When you reply “I'm a Buddhist”, they look incredulous and say, “But they worship a statue man!”.
But they are not close minded, and we have the wrong idea and Islam.
Yeah, right.
