Race-hate thugs terrorise Muslims in Sidney
Police in Australia say there have been more than 40 attacks on Muslims in Sydney since the Bali bombing that killed nearly 200 people.
Clerics have been spat on, mosques vandalised and Muslim girls have had their headscarves ripped off since the bombings.
New South Wales state Police Commissioner Ken Moroney said: "It's offensive, and it illustrates an element of ignorance and arrogance on their (the attackers') part."
Dozens of Australians died when a massive explosion ripped through a nightclub popular with foreign tourists in the beach-side Bali resort of Kuta.
The main suspect in the attack is south east Asian Islamic extremist group Jemaah Islamiyah, which is believed to have links with al-Qaida.
Commissioner Moroney says more attacks are probably going unreported, particularly on Muslim women who fear retribution if they tell authorities.
"These Muslim women need to come forward without fear of repercussions and talk to police so we can get a clear picture of what is going on," he said.
He did not give more details on the various anti-Islamic attacks but last Tuesday, vandals smashed several windows and walls of the King Abdul Aziz Islamic School in western Sydney. The adjoining mosque and Muslim leader's residence also were damaged.
Also last week, a mosque in the southern city of Melbourne was firebombed.
Police have made no arrests in any of the attacks.

What no Sikh's were attacked? At least the Muzzie-hunters in Australia can tell the difference. (There will be hell to pay for saying that)

Considering they number of dead Australians, I think the Aussies are showing great restraint. (As are we Americans)

You are right, it is pretty mild. The media try to whip up excitement with lurid reports - i.e. that a mosque had been "fire bombed" - and it was some little firelight thing that burnt on the floor for a few hours before someone put it out. Most of the goons who do this type of thing would normally be vandalising trains, or something. It is totally on the fringe.

Why don't we ever see headlines like, "Race hate thugs terrorize Christians in Pakistan"?
To: blam
What? No gang rapes?
...and Muslim girls have had their headscarves ripped off since the bombings.
To: blam
"Police have made no arrests in any of the attacks."
Of course a couple of relevant facts are missing in the article--In Bali about 112 Assies were MURDERED; and to date NO musli sympathizers have been murdered by Aussies.
Yet. Patience the world over may be stretched only so far.

Apparently the Australian citizens have not been as thouroughly indoctrinated in the joys of multicultural diversity and political correctness as their American cousins.

Gee, Molsem gang rapes of Aussie women are occuring all over Australia and now the Media totes out the Race Hate card when some Islamic girls get their scarves pulled off? OH MY! A liberal nightmare... Poor distressed minority rapists and muggers get spit on and called NAMES by Mean White guys.

They shouldn't be terrorized. They should be shipped back to their home countries ASAP. And that's what all civilized countries should do - isolate them in their own countries.

Apparently the Australian citizens have not been as thouroughly indoctrinated in the joys of multicultural diversity and political correctness as their American cousins. So true..
