I think these outsiders have picked on the wrong country and they will pay a heavy price for their actions. Time to kick the Muslim litter to the curb mates!

Christmas is sacred, Pell warns race gangs
Jill Rowbotham and Elizabeth Gosch December 14, 2005 CATHOLIC Archbishop George Pell has warned gangs of Middle Eastern descent not to target Christmas celebrations, after families were abused and gunshots fired into cars at a primary school's carols night in western Sydney on Monday.
Cardinal Pell said the attack in the multicultural suburb of Auburn, where Lebanese Muslims are believed to have turned on Lebanese Christians, was "apparently motivated by religious intolerance". He said: "I am deeply concerned about the targeting of Christmas celebrations at schools for students as young as five years old.
"The attack was apparently motivated by religious intolerance. This has no place in Australia today."
Police confirmed last night that they had been called to the St Joseph the Worker Primary School on Monday evening at about 9.30pm after a priest and parents heard gunshots outside the school, predominantly used by Lebanese Catholics.
Earlier in the evening, about 400 parents and children were singing carols when a group of youths of Middle Eastern appearance verbally abused them.
Neither police nor school staff could find any damage, but yesterday two school staff members discovered bullet holes in their cars, with spent cartridges found nearby.
"The cars have been seized along with a number of cartridges found at the scene and these will be forensically examined," a police spokeswoman said last night.
After two days of clashes between the Lebanese and Anglo communities in hotspots along Sydney's beaches, this was the first case of an attack on religious - rather than ethnic - grounds.
A church in Macquarie Fields, also in Sydney's west, was damaged in the early hours of yesterday morning, suffering minor fire damage after what police believe was an incendiary device was thrown through the front door. Cardinal Pell said the actions of the gang towards the Auburn school community - which was "predominantly Lebanese, with Filipinos, Chinese and Anglo families also represented" - was "as unacceptable as the violence perpetrated by Anglo elements on Sunday at Cronulla".
The incident forced the cancellation of a carols service at the Holy Spirit Primary School in Lakemba last night.
Cardinal Pell asked the Government to ensure the safety of those wishing to attend Christmas services.
try doing this at a mosque and the entire liberal world would be all over it..
TROP again?
Appears the Lebanese civil war has moved to Australia.
Looks like it... and the Aussies aren't 'gonna bend-over and smile like the frenchies!
Don't mess with Aussie Hooligans!!
Interesting times there.
OI wonder if he understands the root character of the problem.
(BTW -- How about that Australian gun control? Works real good, huh?)
Looks like Australia is getting some French lessons.
We used to accuse church burnings on satanic cults. We were right....they are islamic.
The Aussies will deal with the problem because the people are outwardly and openly DEMANDING justice.
Take it to them Mate!
As this is a case where people of Middle Eastern appearance have been attacked, it has been agreed to call it racial intolerance.
But... but... but... Australia BANNED guns. How can that be???? ;)
Time to call in the surfers again. Before the Muslims start throwing Monaros on the barbie.
