Sexual terrorism in Australia, by Anne Humphreys
The victims say out of a long waking nightmare.
Australia as a whole is still in shock.
Only two victims have dared to speak out ...
It amazed that Australia has discovered one of the most heinous case from its history, and how it has been the plaything of all the manipulations to silence a journalist, Janet Albrechtsen, who sounded the alarm for 3 years ...
The scope and detail of the case are just beginning to emerge in newspapers, including the most serious of the country, and is shock over the sadism and cruelty of the crimes, but also their motivation.
For the worst in Australia is that it discovers an entirely new phenomenon which emerged two years of quasi-two cases similar "rape jihadist", claimed as such as a weapon of war against "crusaders" West.
Initially, a sordid rape case
When finally one of five accused of several rapes, all brothers, has cracked and confessed his crime in open court, the relief was visible on the faces of the victims. Or rather, only two of the victims, who have ventured out of 18 go through and testify in court for crimes they have suffered.
The defense counsel sat, and through him a whole system developed around the band of five Pakistanis and their families in self-defense that collapsed in a barely audible confession, of a frail voice that would almost forget that the young man who has cracked under the onslaught of the prosecutor and in face of DNA evidence.
The matter was kept confidential, did almost as exaggerated or unfounded rumors for months. Because the matter was sensitive, five Muslims indicted particularly sordid sex crimes against young girls of 13-17 years in a country where one does not trifle with any legal Protestant hard as steel, authorities feared the worse in a difficult international context.
For it is the aftermath of the Bali bombings that the case is judicial. 6 young girls decide to sue for repeated rapes, suffered for months under the constraint that have been submitted by five men aged 16-22 years, of Pakistani origin, shouting anti-Muslim conspiracy in the wake of terrorist attacks Bali that claimed the lives of hundreds of young Australian tourists targeted by Al Qaeda to punish Australia for its support to the U.S. in Iraq.
Anti-racist associations, Muslim families of the accused, support the young men "well in every respect", which even received the support of the local mosque. The father of accused coward leaving the court, "Pakistani girls do not go out tonight, you are the enemies of Muslims, you will help only the whites white and my son are not rapists"
Overwhelming evidence and the logic of terror
But the evidence is without appeal, the five brothers were filming the rapes they committed a small house that the oldest was praised for it.
Arrived with family in Australia in 2000, thanks to selective immigration plan that allows the father, GP, settling in Sydney, five brothers go for several months, from January to July 2002, flirting with girls they always took care to select young, vulnerable and naive enough to be dragged into the house in Ashfield on the pretext of a small "celebration" improvised among young people.
The scenario was then still the same, the girls were immediately threatened, forced to drink alcohol to intoxication and raped, still a very violent manner, psychiatrists emphasizing the sadistic rape after viewings of videotapes that abusers carefully recorded and classified.
Then terror stood for girls fall silent, and may remain "available" 5 brothers who allowed them to return again for them to sustain the onslaught.
One brother had found a "means" effective enforcement to terrorize the girls, they claimed to have visited Iraq, to be raping girls, having strangled and hanged from the balcony of their own homes ...
The Australian television evokes every day on the evening news these young jihadists in Europe, America and Australia, who train in terrorist camps in Iraq or Pakistan and returning to live with impunity as if nothing had happened and that failure of who could rub without the slightest suspicion. That the 5 brothers know and benefit from their youth to terrorize their victims forced to submit regularly to their rape. Often they violate them brandishing knives, hurt even more to terrorize them. The logic of terror is unstoppable, their dominance is complete.
A political act
Over the months, the attacks are increasingly violent, a girl is thrown against a wall, forcibly sodomized, she was only 14 years, by a brother who claims "the Skaf lib". And that's where the case falls outside the sordid news story, and takes on new dimensions as Australia discovered in recent weeks in a heavy atmosphere that raises a genuine fear inside.
The five brothers not selected only young girls based on their vulnerability and their naivete, they seduced and then raped them, but they chose only white Australian girls then they accused of being frivolous girls, is giving all and sundry, what the father of five brothers used as an argument to denounce the decadent morality of the Anglo-Saxon then accusing his son of having violated their position to avoid mistakes!
This choice of white Australian girls were not only religious (they never touched the Muslim, the oldest being a married man and father of a boy of 3 years), the choice was political, constantly claimed videotapes on behalf of a man, "the Lebanese Skaf, whose name was chanted during the rape (if the Skaf the lib' want to f ..., he will f ...)
The five Muslim brothers claim in fact two men, also brothers, who imposed a reign of terror in a neighborhood of the Australian metropolis, Sydney brothers Bilal and Mohammed SKAF, of Lebanese origin.
It was just before the attacks of Sept. 11, 9 Specifically, in the great conservative daily The Australian, Janet Albrechtsen, columnist known and respected, and Alan Jones, star presenter of rightwing radio, simultaneously reveal a sordid affair that will shake Australia during ... two days, the attacks of September 11 the United States almost miraculously overshadowing the matter will then be minimized by the authorities. Janet Albrechtsen will maintain its editorial team in his paper to the tenacity and power of News Corporation, owned by Rupert Murdoch, who resist the strong political pressures calling for the head of the journalist.
Held in great secrecy for months, Janet Albrechtsen Australians reveals that 70 young girls have suffered for months particularly barbaric gang rape by a gang of 19 young Muslim of Lebanese origin in the southeastern suburbs west of Sydney, led by two brothers, Bilal and Mohammed Skaf, who far from denying their crimes, claiming instead the name of Islam, police officers and judges totally dumbfounded.
During the months of 2000-2001, they will lead a "jihad" particularly claimed as such, a "jihad sex" where ethnicity is central to their victims. Gang rapes of young girls as a weapon of "sexual terrorism" through the neighborhoods south-west of Sydney.
They carefully select their victims, only white Australians, preferably very young and whose vulnerability can impose a regime of terror in which they become the real "sex slaves" of their attackers.
Gang rape is particularly sordid and cruel, and a young girl of 15 in August 2000 was raped 25 times by 14 men, including two brothers Bilal and Mohammed Skaf for 6 hours straight when it comes to the worst violence.
During the rape, there also filmed the beatings and insults fly, all racist. A girl of 17 years will testify before the court reporting the remarks of rapists: "you deserve it because you're Australian. For ordinary insults (sluts, whores) are the racist insults, "white bitches", "disbelieving", "dirty Christian", "decadent West" ...
We must silence those cases
Skal Brothers will be harshly sentenced, but only for rape and acts of barbarity, racist abuse being rejected, because "not directed against minorities"! But the "Skaf leb" style "was born, and re-emerging at the turn of almost all rape cases involving Muslims or Middle Easterners. Websites and forums Australian Muslims are invested by boasting about the "leb'style Skaf, despite hunting on the Internet conducted by the Australian police and the moderation of forums and newsgroups by webmasters.
The same arguments, which are also those here too the family of brothers Skal, return like loop on the lightness of Western manners, which make these girls fast girls and their aggressors of innocent victims of anti-Muslim racism.
Associations left but also right columnists primarily concerned to reduce tension between communities exacerbated by the attacks of September 11 and those in Bali in 2002, Janet Albrechtsen and denounce the Australian newspaper they accuse Amalgam, attempted to criminalize Islam to sow racial hatred.
The case was crushed by the indignant about the Australian right-thinking elites who prefer not to see these cases as miscellaneous purely sexual, relegating their salary to the level of individual or collective rapes ordinary course severely condemned, but without taking account of a political and religious yet proven.
Just Will he conceded the misogynist character of criminals
All this forgetting that the bottom of the cell still boasts its Skaf rape in the name of Islam, and especially that the new case that comes out these days in the Australian press, is again identical in character from young Australian Muslims against making rape young white girls their weapons as a kind of "sexual terrorism" that would crack down in Australia, less spectacular than bombs, but also destructive to victims.
The five Pakistani brothers will not have the courage of the Skaf brothers who claimed their crimes as clearly a kind of jihad sex, but video footage and recordings that contain leaves no doubt about what inspired their actions , as a real sexual sadism that the footprint of a neo-Islamist claim perfectly clear.
Attacked on all sides, Janet Albrechtsen has become the pariah of Australian journalists for daring to reveal openly the sad backdrop to the cases of gang rapes not like others who are afraid to Australia, a victim of terrorism cellars, the death toll would rise already nearly a hundred young girls in the country.
But in Australia as elsewhere, the name of "political correctness" and a hypocritical and cowardly policy of appeasement, we prefer to blame the columnist for The Australian and accuse him of racism rather than to see the facts as precisely too terrifying truth. We must silence these cases will launch a government minister ghost tillage (left) in full conquest of Muslim votes in the 2004 elections and has made his opposition to the Iraq war his central theme of a campaign against Howard, the Prime Minister Australian Conservative close to Bush.
Overwhelming evidence in ... Europe
The French and Danish authors, Jean Jacques Rassial Villetaneuse University and Flemming Balvig University of Copenhagen, shows exponential involvement of Muslims among the perpetrators of rapes, which we will even give a name to describe especially in France, the roving.
The results of sociological investigations, they can hardly challenge is clear: in Denmark, where such surveys can identify ethnic and religious profiling as part of statistical studies, including the police, contrary to France where it is prohibited by law, show that in 2003 for a share of 7.4% Muslim population in Denmark, this proportion reached 76.5% of prisoners throughout the country for sex crimes.
Across Europe, it also considers the figures in similar proportions, both in countries where figures are available only in those, like France, where disclosure is prohibited by laws against racial discrimination or religious. But in France the phenomenon is still insufficient recognition to the subject of special studies and that of Jean Jacques Rassial that although defending themselves want to involve in its discussion a connection between the ethnic or cultural background and rotating the described as rites of passage for young men from Paris suburbs, the film "the monster" will project also explicitly citing the rotating suffered by white teenagers from North African youth in cities.
But despite their criticism towards Janet Albrechtsen, neither one nor the other, will contest the results of studies showing a massive and indisputable representation of Muslims in perpetrators of gang rape.
The truth will come out
The first convictions have fallen for five Pakistani brothers, and others will follow, which will accumulate and are likely to exceed several decades in prison. Above all, this case feels like a backlash to the elite Australian Muslim and anti-racist associations, as well as the leftist press and some conservative columnists who preferred to disavow Janet Albrechtsen rather than going out of their blindness.
The truth always managing to escape, it was the turn of a new and sordid fact that the various media and the authorities had attempted to stifle and finally prove to the public these days, that Australians are becoming aware gradually the severity and scope of what they regarded as fact that various sordid indeed, but commonplace within business manners, they are clearly not.
That is another form of terrorism that Australia is facing

-------------------------------------------------- -------------
In Norway and Sweden, journalist Fjordman speaks of an epidemic of rape. Two out of three rapes committed in Oslo are the result of Muslim immigrants and 80 percent of the victims are Norwegian women.
In Indonesia, more than 100 Chinese women were raped during the riots that preceded the fall of President Suharto. Rapists have said: "You must be raped because you are Chinese and non-Muslim"
Christian Solidarity International has reported that in April 2005, a 9 year old Pakistani girl was raped, beaten with a cricket bat, hanged from the ceiling by his feet, handcuffed, had spoonfuls of chili poured into the mouth and repeatedly beaten by his Muslim neighbors. They said they were avenging the American bombing of Iraqi children and they did so because she was an "infidel and a Christian."
At the Court of Australia in December 2005, a rapist Pakistan said that his victims had no right to refuse because they do not wear the Islamic headscarf.
In Copenhagen, the mufti and top Islamic cleric, Shahid Mehdi created outrage when he said that women did not wear the Islamic headscarf ask to be raped.
In France, in the suburbs, gang rape is now known simply as rotating where victims know the police will not protect them. In most French prosecutions, the Muslim rapists say they do not believe they have committed a crime.
In Malmö, the third largest city in Sweden, the police admitted that she no longer commands the city. "It is effectively run by violent gangs of Muslim immigrants"
Around the world, Muslims are in conflict with their neighbors. Mark Steyn has even recently said: "every conflict appears to have originated from a person named Muhammad".
The number of rapes committed by Muslim men against women in the last decade is so high that it can not be viewed otherwise than culturally implicit behavior. It is clearly strengthened and encouraged by Muslim religious leaders who blame victims and excuse the rapists.

We must stop the islamists of indoctrinate youth, by Francis Chartrand
Karl von Clausewitz, one of the major theorists of war wrote: "The purpose of all war must be to establish a better situation before the outbreak of hostilities." After a decade of struggle against international terrorism, how can we know if the situation improved?
We could take to measure the frequency of terrorist attacks. Since early 2009, more than 7,500 people were killed in bombings 5.000 on 4 continents. It is much better than last year where over 15,000 people have died in more than 11,000 attacks. Osama bin Laden and his organization al-Qaeda have been unable to organize attacks comparable in importance to those of 11 September against the towers of the World Trade Center. And they have not managed to get their hands on a nuclear weapon. Can we conclude that terrorism has become a less urgent threat and that the situation has improved since hostilities began? The public in Australia think it. A survey of Autralian Strategic Policy Institute conducted last year showed that terrorism had fallen to 13th among the 14 major concerns in the 2007 elections. Two thirds of Australians believe that the terrorist threat is part of everyday life. Climate change is regarded as the new terrorism.
But when asked if the Australian government did everything it could to prevent a terrorist attack, the voter response was unequivocal. Only 50% thought the government controlled the situation. Although nearly 10 billion dollars have been spent since 2001 to improve security measures, 41% of voters said that the government could do better. Because there has been no serious attacks in Australia since the explosion of a bomb at the Sydney Hotel in 1978, some believe that the threat is so low that it could now spend less money national security.
Resources are limited and as there are many other concerns such as cyber crime or organized, it begins to say it would be better to give less importance to the terrorist threat. This is not what I think. The real danger is complacency about the nature and extent of threat nourished by religious ideology.
As stated recently Peter Clark of the British police: "The terrorist threat is of such magnitude and so intractable that we should not just be content to chase those planning attacks. We must find a way to attack the ideas that motivate them to do so."
The number of terrorists in the world may be decreased, but the ideology that fuels international terrorism continues to seduce the minds of Somalia to the southern Philippines. And children are increasingly the target of this ideological indoctrination. In Indonesia, the radical group Hizb ut-Tahrir is particularly interested in schools, providing books for teens that encourages them to overthrow the secular democracy and replace it with Islamic law (Sharia) and a caliphate.
While such organizations are careful not to openly promote violence, the link between propaganda, radicalization of minds and terrorism is well established.
And the Internet helps to spread the message of extremists. Hizb ut-Tahrir has launched a website that competes with major international channels of information. Teenagers are the largest users of the Internet and social networking sites provide interactive terrorist groups new opportunities for recruitment and radicalization of minds.
Not surprisingly, a Somali terrorist organization is called al-Shabaad (Youth)
To achieve their goals, the ideologues are constantly finding new recruits. So they're training a new generation of terrorists, the international community seems unable to respond in a coherent and strategic.
Until now, the war against terrorism has been shared between 95% of military intervention and 5% of anti-ideological. This must change, because it is winning the ideological war that we may determine whether we succeeded or failed to stop this wave of religious terrorism.

Slash population to save the world: green lobbyist, by Anne Humphreys
Australia should consider having a one-child policy to protect the planet, an environmental lobby group says.
Sustainable Population Australia says slashing the world's population is the only way to avoid "environmental suicide".
National president Sandra Kanck wants Australia's population of almost 22 million reduced to seven million to tackle climate change.
And restricting each couple to one baby, as China does, is "one way of assisting to reduce the population".
"It's something we need to throw into the mix," the former Democrats parliamentarian told AAP.
More people means more coal-fired electricity, cars, houses, water use and food production, all of which increase greenhouse gas emissions, she said.
Ms Kanck, who has one child herself, expects her campaign will receive a hostile reaction.
"The Catholic church is going to be in like Flynn on an argument like this."
Sustainable Population Australia, which has about 1300 members, is so worried about climate change it is preparing a formal submission to the United Nations.
It has also applied to attend high-profile world climate talks in Copenhagen in December.
Australia's population has been increasing steadily and the Federal Government plans to continue the trend, largely through immigration.
The world's population stands at 6.7 billion, according to the US Census Bureau.
"Increasing the population is basically suicide, it's environmental suicide, it's utterly irresponsible," Ms Kanck said.
"We are eating away at the planet, we are eating into all the resources, be it petrol, be it superphosphate, be it clear air."
Ms Kanck also suggested Australia scrap the baby bonus, and restrict paid maternity leave and IVF to the first baby only, to discourage large families.
She did not suggest restrictions to immigration, saying Australia should take responsibility for cutting its own population instead of barring entry to others.
China introduced its one-child policy in 1979.
A Chinese academic visiting Canberra last week said the policy had avoided 300 million births and had therefore made a major contribution to the fight against climate change.

Personal freedom under fire, by Mitch Fifield
IF the road to hell is paved with good intentions, human rights bureaucrats have been laying down the bitumen. This could be the case in Victoria if Premier John Brumby accepts recommendations to fortify the powers of the Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission.
These proposals come from former state public advocate Julian Gardner, who was commissioned by the state Labor Government to review Victoria's Equal Opportunity Act.
And they constitute a clear and present danger to some of our most fundamental democratic rights.
Gardner seeks to grant the commission powers of forced entry, search and seizure. He would apply Alice in Wonderland rules to a central pillar of our common-law justice system. Like the Queen of Hearts who cries "Off with their heads" and only then holds a trial, Gardner would reverse the onus of proof from accuser to accused. Anyone suspected of malfeasance by the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission would be considered guilty until proven innocent.
Under Gardner's reform scheme, the law need not be breached before the long arm of the commission comes into play. Similar to the Department of Pre-Crime in the Tom Cruise film Minority Report, investigators could conduct inquiries into any situation where a violation is about to occur.
Quite an Orwellian touch.
There is little comfort to be found in Gardner's recommendation to devolve the power of enforcement to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. After all, it was VCAT vice-president Michael Higgins who imposed a perpetual gag order on an evangelical Christian minister who made unflattering comments about Islam. Higgins forbade pastor Danny Nalliah "to make, publish or distribute in Victoria (including on the internet), whether in writing or orally and whether directly or indirectly, any statements and, or alternatively, information, suggestions and implications, to the same or similar effect as those found by the tribunal to have breached the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act".
All this is frighteningly reminiscent of the situation in Canada, where official agencies of the state prosecute citizens for the thought-crime of political incorrectness. Canada's federal and provincial human rights commissions were established to fight discrimination in housing and employment. But these quasi-judicial bodies have metastasised into partisan star-chamber tribunals that selectively file charges against those who espouse conservative political or religious beliefs.
Clergyman Stephen Boissoin ran afoul of the Alberta Human Rights Commission when he composed a letter to the editor endorsing a traditional biblical view of homosexuality. The commission classified this declaration of customary Christian faith as an act of "hate propaganda" and slapped him with a $C5000 fine. Boissoin was also ordered to "cease publishing in newspapers, by email, on the radio, in public speeches or on the internet, in future, disparaging remarks about gays and homosexuals".
This act of censorship was not the only instance in which the principles of Canadian democracy were sacrificed at the altar of the human rights bureaucracy. Magazine editor Ezra Levant was hauled before the Human Rights Commission for re-publishing the controversial Mohammed cartoons that had appeared in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. And noted columnist Mark Steyn was prosecuted for disparaging Islamic terrorists.
Freedom of conscience and expression is the most fundamental of all democratic rights. These liberties are the cornerstones of representative government because, in their absence, our parliamentary system would collapse.
But free speech takes on real meaning only when it is guaranteed to those whose views you despise.
While racism and sexism are ugly things, the suppression of democracy in an attempt to quash intolerance is much uglier and far more dangerous.
Political liberty in Victoria is threatened more by the heavy-handed censoriousness of the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act than by non-violent expressions of bigotry. Human rights apparatchiks who claim that the deranged ranting of a few neo-Nazis will spawn a new Kristallnacht are social pessimists who have little faith in Australian democracy. The last thing we need is expanded powers for the Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission that could create a thought-police squad on steroids.
Australians are not permitted to vote until the age of 18 because political participation is deemed to require a certain level of maturity. And maturity, in turn, must involve the ability to withstand the slings and arrows of verbal insult. Anyone who doubts the centrality of robust expression to Westminster democracy should attend a few sessions of parliamentary question time.
No open society can long endure a so-called right to be protected from umbrage because the cost in relinquished liberties is far too high. Any attempts to shield our tender sensibilities through government censorship only undermines freedom and infantilises us all.
Rather than give real teeth to the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, this Praetorian Guard of political correctness should be restricted to legal dentures.

Rudd condemns Islamic cleric Samir Abu Hamza's comments on sex
KEVIN Rudd has demanded a Melbourne Islamic cleric apologise for reportedly telling male followers they can force their wives to have sex, and hit them if they're disobedient.
The Prime Minister said Samir Abu Hamza's comments had no place in modern Australia.
During a 2003 lecture also posted on the internet last year, Mr Hamza told followers that under Islamic law, men could demand sex from their wives, the Herald Sun reported.
Despite Australian laws requiring consent, it was impossible for a man to rape his wife even if she refused to have sex, he said.
He also reportedly said that Islamic law allowed men to hit their wives as a last resort, but were not allowed to leave them bruised or bloodied.
Mr Rudd said Mr Hamza should apologise.
“Under no circumstances is sexual violence permissible or acceptable in Australia - under no circumstances,” he told reporters in Hobart.
“Under no circumstances are other forms of violence, physical violence, acceptable towards women in Australia nor are they acceptable in my view to mainstream Muslim teachings.
“Australia will not tolerate these sort of remarks. They don't belong in modern Australia, and he should stand up, repudiate them and apologise.”
In the lecture, titled The Keys to a Successful Marriage, Mr Hamza mocks Australia's sexual assault laws that require consent for sex between a man and his wife.
“Amazing, how can a man rape his wife?” he asks.
Mr Hamza, a cleric in the Melbourne suburb of Coburg, told the Herald Sun a man could hit his wife on the hand or leg, but not on the head.

Topless ban to protect Muslims and Asians: Nile, by Francis Chartrand
Conservative MP Fred Nile says he wants topless bathing banned in NSW to protect Sydney's Muslim and Asian communities.
The Reverend Nile has rejected allegations that prudishness is behind a bill he has prepared to ban nudity, including topless sunbathing, on the state's most popular beaches.
Australia's reputation as a conservative but culturally inclusive sociery was at risk of erosion by more liberal overseas visitors, he said.
"Our beaches should be a place where no one is offended, whether it's their religious or cultural views," he said.
"If they've come from a Middle Eastern or Asian country where women never go topless - in fact they usually wear a lot of clothing - I think it's important to respect all the different cultures that make up Australia."
The practice was at risk of raising the ire of Muslim men in particular, Mr Nile said.
"I don't want to have any provocations or disturbances on our public beaches," he said.
Acting Premier Carmel Tebbutt and the NSW Opposition Leader, Barry O'Farrell, have both said that topless bathing is an issue for local councils, not state governments.
But Mr Nile said he believed most politicians would come around once all the issues were considered.
"I think if you survey Australian women you'll find a lot of women would be uncomfortable if it became the custom [to be] topless at the beach," he said.
"Australia's always been a conservative country as far as beachwear goes.
"Once being topless is accepted as lawful the next question will be why can't women go totally nude on a public beach and I don't think Australians want to go down that pathway."
NSW Liberal powerbroker David Clarke and Labor MP Paul Gibson have reportedly vowed to support the bill.
AAP reports:
Mr O'Farrell said topless bathing was not a matter for Parliament.
"This is a matter for local councils to deliberate, at a time when state parliament should be focusing on roads, public transport, hospitals and education," he said today.
"It doesn't rate on the list of important matters for the Parliament of NSW."
Up to individuals: Gillard
Speaking to reporters in Melbourne, acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the topless issue was one of context and clear signage.
"People want to go to the beach and use the beach in a variety of ways. Obviously family groups want to go to the beach, people who want to get a bit of sun all over also want to go to the beach," she said.
"As long as people know what the rules are and know what to expect I think it is a matter for the individuals involved."
Ms Gillard urged topless bathers to be sun smart.
"There is also a stage where people should be getting the hat on, getting the shirt on and getting the sunscreen on," she said.
Topless bathing not an issue: Bondi mayor
Waverley Council Mayor Sally Betts says she is aghast at moves by state politicians to outlaw women from sunbathing topless on NSW beaches.
"We've got alcohol-related violence, we've got under-age drinking and anti-social behaviour in the public domain - those are really important issues," Ms Betts told Fairfax Radio Network.
"If the Reverend Nile really wants to help people he should focus on those issues."
Ms Betts said she was at the beach on Christmas Day and Boxing Day and did not notice any topless women.
But if it was a problem, she would have heard about it, she said.
"In Waverley, we have a very involved community. They complain about everything," she said.
"But nobody has complained to me about topless [women]."
Buy peace, to reduce their demands, fear of Muslims.
It is a way that suggests their superiority enshrined in the Koran.
That is exactly what not to do.
It is for Muslims to adapt to the customs of their home countries, it is not we who live in the Middle Ages, it was for them to evolve and not up to us to retreat.
Where does this annoying habit of always wanting to give way to the weak and ingnorants?
A child is born parents become his slave, a child entered the school teachers becomes his servant, an immigrant enters the country people to kiss your feet, give up their culture, trample their own rights and their freedom.
It happens anyway? Did I miss something? Laws of nature are reversed? Now it is the law of the weakest? mice eat cats, sheep slaughter wolves?
Looks like an old song by Paul Piché: There is more teacher in our homes because you're there.
Francis Chartrand
PS: By the way, I like topless girls on beach, just a matter of principles... ;-)

Australia - Implementation of the Bali terrorists: Amnesty accuses Canberra of not intervened to save their lives, by Noémie Cournoyer
Obama, he supports the death penalty ...
Amnesty International said today that following the execution of the perpetrators of the Bali bombings, calls for selective clemency by the federal government have endangered the lives of Australians who are on death row.
Terrorists Mukhlas, Amrozi and Imam Samudra, three of the men responsible for the 2002 attacks in Bali that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians, were executed by a firing squad in Indonesia, just after midnight (4 pm AEDT) .
The failure of the government to seek clemency for the three men put at risk the lives of Australians who are on death row, including three members of the Bali Nine, "said Amnesty International.
Drug traffickers Australian Scott Rush, Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan are also waiting to be executed.
But while he has remained silent on the fate of Mukhlas, Amrozi and Imam Samudra, the government has exerted strong pressure to save the lives of three Australians.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said Canberra does not intervene on behalf of foreign terrorists.
"We recently asked the government and the previous government to take a principled position on the death penalty and oppose in every case," said Katie Wood, campaign coordinator for Amnesty.
"By being selective in its appeals for clemency, the government promotes a two-tier policy on capital punishment, which inevitably undermines Australia's position on the issue, which inevitably has an effect on Australians who face the death penalty in Indonesia. "
Ms. Wood said that Amnesty understands why some families of the victims supported the death penalty but said it was "cruel and inhuman regardless of the crime and nationality."
