Australiaapproves monitoring inside mosques
Canberra - Australian Prime Minister John Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spies monitoring the nation's mosques.
He was speaking just hours before bidding farewell to a unit of Australian elite troops heading for combat duty in Afghanistan in a deployment sure to further upset many Muslims here.
A day after holding a summit with 13 moderate Australian Islamic leaders, Howard said the government had a right to know if parts of the Islamic community supported or preached violence, and he favoured infiltration of mosques and schools if needed.
It appears that Howard is taking a similar approach that Britain's Tony Blaire is taking. Any thoughts from fellow FReepers?
Better yet: why not destroy the mosques and send the muslims home?
And how did the muslims get into Australia? Had it not allowed them into their western culture, it would not have this problem now. Same goes for rest of western societies.
