Silent and deadly: Australia's rage

Posted on 10/14/2002 8:21:58 PM PDT by Dundee

We Aussies are, at times, a strange lot.

In our happier times, the ethos of "work hard, play hard" almost becomes the national motto. The 2000 Sydney Olympics is a prime example. For a country of 19 million hosting the Olympics is no easy task. But tens of thousands worked tirelessly to make the games the best ever. The world saw us party, saw us enjoy the fruits of so much hard work. Likewise, many Aussies in Bali were there to enjoy the fruits of their hard work, sporting or otherwise. When we party, we party hard and loud.

But now, in our time of national mourning, the vast majority of Australians are silent.

Why?

The shrill voices of the left, the appeasers, the anti westerners are screaming that this was all our fault. Australia has joined America in its fight, a fight that they believe we should never have joined. This is what we deserved. We asked for it.

But the majority of Australians are silent. They are silent with rage and single minded focus. We do not yell and scream and call upon God to rain down vengence. We quietly roll up our sleaves and get to work. Our work now is to destroy those who would destroy us.

No flag waving, no rallies. Just silent rage and quiet action. Those who would destroy us will not hear the massive wave of rage they have unleashed. Our actions will speak for us.

Silent and deadly.

You can have no greater friend nor deadlier foe than Australia.

During World War One and World War Two, the Aussies, the Kiwis and the Canadians were really something.

The Aussies still are.

Too bad about the Kiwis and the Canadians.

Please accept my sympathies for the loss of your Countrymen.

God Bless those families who have experienced this horrific tragety. And God Bless the families of the young people who will join forces to slay the dregs of the earth who imposed this horror on you.

The cost of freedom is not free.

Welcome aboard!

and remember that despite all our faults, it's easy to distinguish Americans from
Islamic Terrorists.

Americans: Pave paradise, put up a parking lot (from an old song by Joni Mitchell)

Islamic terrorists: Blow up paradise (e.g., Bali) and all the infidels with the temerity to
enjoy the place.

As General Patton said, when you see what remains of your best friends next to you...
you'll know what to do.

I was very sorry to see that Australian (and other) innocents were murdered by Islamic terrorist bombers. Like it or not, Australia is being forced into the same position as other reasonably free democracys; fight for it or lose it. Like the U.S., your most dangerous enemies are the liberal socialiast appeaser-collaborators within your nation who wish to meet the Muslim horde on their knees begging for mercy. May the Australian patriots prevail and enable Australians to be the fierce warriors they can be as they have been in the past.

P.S. Get your guns back for cryin out loud.

We know that. You stood by us when you could only imagine what we felt, I'm so sorry that you had to have the experience too.

Well, there are now two of us who have gone through the bloodbath, we can mourn later, now we have work to do. God bless the Aussies.

Just imagine how much more pissed you'd be (if even possible) if they had done this in downtown Sydney instead of Bali ......

ISLAMIC PENDANT 'TAKEN OFF FOR RAPE'

By Frank Walker
October 13 2002

A man took off his Islamic pendant as he raped a girl, saying that to keep it on would be "disrespectful", police alleged in court yesterday.

Farhad Qaumi, 19, of Berala, appeared in Parramatta Bail Court charged with aggravated sexual assault, causing bodily harm and two counts of detain for advantage. Police alleged Qaumi and another male saw two girls, 15 and 16, on the street and offered them cigarettes, swapped phone numbers and asked them to join them for a ride in May last year.

Qaumi identified himself as Ahmed and the other man as Bobby. The girls declined the invitation, but Bobby forced the 15-year-old into the car.

Police alleged Qaumi also forced the 16-year-old into the car before locking the doors.

After arriving at Auburn Swimming Pool car park, Bobby took the 15-year-old girl for a walk while Qaumi forced the other girl into the back seat. There, Qaumi is alleged to have raped the 16-year-old girl and forced her to perform oral sex.

A statement of facts tendered in court by police said Qaumi took off his Islamic pendant, saying: "I have to take it off as it is disrespectful."

Court Registrar Donna Evans said she would grant $12,000 bail as police had not shown how Qaumi had been identified as the perpetrator.

Qaumi did not enter a plea and will appear in Burwood Court tomorrow.

Rest assured.
There is going to be a whole lot of killing soon.
These Islamic radicals have made millions of dangerous and destructive enemies for life..
The type of enemy that is determined to end their miserable death cult worshiping existence.

Due to the aggressive actions of the German’s when they invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, Australia declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939. Then, after many aggressions by the Japanese, Australia decided to declare war on Japan and ask America for help against the Japanese forces. This was America and Australia’s first relation during World War II.

The World War II experience, similarities in culture and historical background, and shared democratic values have made U.S. relations with Australia exceptionally strong and close. Ties linking the two nations cover the entire spectrum of international relations--from commercial, cultural, and environmental contacts to political and defense cooperation.

World War II required many American soldiers to go to Australia. The many soldiers were said to be happy living there because of the good hospitality of the Australians and fun activities. During the war years of 1941 through 1945, relations between American soldiers and Australians were, on the whole, favorable.

I'm very sorry for what happened to you.

I also don't expect very much to come of it. Any nation that would give up it's right to bear arms is not much of a nation. Once the spirit is broken it does not just magically come back. Australia is a pitifully PC little place whose real men have been reduced to the nature worshiping like of the 'Crockodile Hunter'.

I feel your pain.
