The start of a NEW religion? I Smell a RAT!

AFGHANISTAN has declared holy war on Australia. The Taliban ambassador to Pakistan, Abdul Salam Zaeef, last night declared Australia a target for retaliation.
Until yesterday, only the US and Britain had been named as enemies of the Taliban, which harbours Osama bin Laden's terrorist network.
"Any person, any military coming to Afghanistan, for invasion, for fighting the people of Afghanistan, we are ready for a jihad," he said.
"Any people who join with the Americans - they are Americans to us."
Answering Australian journalists, he said jihad applied to anyone who joined America in the war on Afghanistan.
Asked if that included Australians in Australia, he replied: "Yes, yes, yes, this is clear."
Mullah Zaeef said the flow of asylum seekers to Australia would not stop until the attacks against Afghanistan ceased.
More than 1500 Australian troops have been committed to join the US and Britain in the war against terrorism.
Prime Minister John Howard last night said Australia was prepared to meet any threat.
He said increased security measures had been put in place after the September 11 terrorist attacks on America.
"We should not ignore this, but we should not overreact," Mr Howard said.
"My message to the Australian people is one of reassurance, but also one of saying we cannot just be brazenly indifferent to this sort of thing."
The Islamic Council of Victoria last night appealed to Australian Muslims to ignore the declaration of a holy war.
Council president Yasser Soliman called on all Muslims to work towards peace. "I would definitely direct all Muslims to ignore any calls for a holy war against Australia," he said. "Muslims should be working with all sectors of Australia for a holy peace.
"I think the Taliban themselves, speaking as Muslims, would have to admit that killing innocent people is also wrong."
But the Taliban ambassador to Pakistan said Australia was wrong for siding with America.
"If they are joining with Americans in coming to Afghanistan the jihad is clear, (it includes) any person who wants to accompany the forces of America," Mr Zaeef said.
Mr Howard condemned the Taliban for portraying the conflict in religious terms. "It is not an issue of religion, it is an issue of good against evil and fighting evil ought to be a common cause among the great religions of the world, of which Islam is clearly one," he said.
"It is the Taliban that is defining this issue in religious terms, it is not the US and it's not Australia."
The United States and Britain have mounted a non-stop bombing campaign in Afghanistan to weaken the Taliban before a ground assault by opposition forces under US guidance.
Special forces troops, including 150 from Australia's Special Air Service, will conduct surgical strikes deep inside Taliban territory.
The Government's Special Incident Task Force will meet to decide the government's response to the new threat.
That task force, led by the Attorney-General's Department, involves all government security agencies, including Defence, which has been on high alert since the September 11 attacks.
A government source said the jihad comments would certainly alter the security posture.
Australia is already on a high security alert and agencies are prepared for a terrorist attack.
Deport them I say! If they hate the western way of life, social structures, people, then one has to consider that the there are two possible reasons why they want to immigrate to the West 1. Money (wonder if thats mentioned in the Koran) 2. To incite a war against their adoptive country from within.
That day [In addition to demonstrating to the world just how bloody stupid, how gutless and abjectly-Evil the "islamic's" are] will be remembered and will be marked as the turning point from which Judeo-Christian, Western [IE: "Human"] Civilization faced up to the Evil which blasphemous, false-'prophet'-following, death-and-destruction-worshipping, imperialistic, colonialistic, mass-murdering "islam" has -- since 650 AD -- always been and always will be -- and faced it down.
What a favor this ignorant f*****g savage "taliban" pr*ck did America and Australia and New Zealand -- and the world -- when he dared to offer Our Nations a threat!
If there will be a "jihad" and three-hundred million ANZACs, Americans and Israelis are on one side -- and a billion and a quarter death-worshipping seventh-century shit-hole dwellers -- and "China" -- are on the other?
Call me an Israeli-ANZAC-American!
And LETS ROLL!
The Peking-based mass-murdering gang, of two-hundred-and-fifty criminal bastards, that likes to be referred to as "China," has never gotten over the fact that 150 years ago, a handful of Britons in a few wooden ships -- and at the end of a ten-thousand-miles-long supply line -- soundly whipped Imperial "China" in a war -- and works ceaselessly, as the means to regain lost "face," toward its domination of the world.
"China;" recipient, courtesy of the recently-[Almost]-departed criminal and treasonous "administration," of almost a Trillion United States Dollars worth of America's most advanced nuclear weapons and missile secrets; has incited, enabled, encouraged, aided, abetted and enrolled -- and continues to -- every other manifestation of Evil on Earth to its purposes.
And is presently waiting and watching for its opportunity to attack the FRee Republic of China -- AKA the FRee Republic of Taiwan. [Whose 22-million population-based military forces -- with a (Very) little help from their friends -- would presently kick the much-vaunted "pla's" arse all the way to at least Kunming -- and probably to Llasa, capital of Independent Tibet!]
These tired harrassed people you claim have arrived I just recently saw protesting your government, calling for the destruction of the West, and committing a disproportionate ammount of crime against the young women of your country all because 'they dont have to respect non muslim women'.
You have obviusly neglected to assess the situation in your own country. Many of these refugees have just condemned your nation and supported vocally the Taliban. The same Taliban who you just called 'brutal,vicious, midievil scum'.
