ONE of the most beautifully droll remarks from the age of terror was Bob Carr’s assessment of the unfortunate trajectory local lad David Hicks’ life took after he threw in his lot with the Taliban.
It came when Carr was foreign minister and facing an earnest grilling from sections of the press gallery about poor Hicks’ apparently illegal internment in Camp X-Ray and the five years he lost as a result. Carr was unmoved.
“If you do what David Hicks did you undertake certain risks,” Carr said.
“You put yourself in the line of fire-fighting a jihad against NATO forces, against Western forces, then your life becomes more complex.
“David Hicks did that and I think he accepts he has to live with the consequences.”
Life does indeed become more complex. Life became more complex for Numan Haider around dinner time on Wednesday. Life, in fact, came to an end.
It is probably inhumane to say that you are happy with such a result. I would be lying if I said I was upset by it. Under the circumstances it does seem like the best possible outcome, given the alternative outcome was two cops having their heads chopped off, just over the road from the Little Angels Childcare Centre in suburban Endeavour Hills.
But despite the fact that Haider had just repeatedly stabbed one officer and had started stabbing another, there are some in the community who regard him as the victim of a savage overreaction.
They’re not isolated to the rattier fringes of Australia’s Muslim communities, either, but proliferate among the hand-wringing class which wonders whether the whole thing was somehow cooked up to demonise Islam and drum up support for the terror laws.

The Daily Telegraph has published part of the video in which the child speaks into a microphone in Arabic while wearing a Puma hoodie, calling for his “brothers and sisters” to install an Islamic authority across the world.
In the video recorded during the holy month of Ramadan, the boy praised the work of mujahideens — warriors engaged in jihad — and called on his audience to sacrifice for Allah.
“The mujahideens in Syria and Afghanistan and in Palestine and all around the Muslim lands who know that only Islam can bring mercy to mankind,” he said in an Australian accent.
“Let us take this opportunity, in this month (Ramadan)…by sacrificing everything for the sake of Allah.”
The video was recorded in Sydney’s west and posted to Facebook in July by the boy’s father who describes the lad as someone who enjoys McDonald’s and dinosaur exhibits.
The father has also shared anti-democracy posts along with images of Islamic fighters and others that carry the slogan “Muslims Rise, Caliphate Imminent”.
Thank you, Mr. Nerks, and God bless you Aussies.
Now in the USA we have a TV series program based upon a Sultan
character. Makes one want to puke.The pro Muslim fix is in.
