‘Hi there.’ ‘Uh hi. Welcome to England’ ‘Yo yo yo so I was thinking you guys could set me up with a two story somewhere trendy. Maybe a plasma telly and at minimum two bedrooms.’ ‘Um, hang on a sec. You just landed, we haven’t even began to process your claim yet.’ ‘Doesn’t matter yo.’ [...]
Over in England the establishment of a sharia court system to deal with civil cases involving the local muslim population occurred in late 2008. This in itself is a tribute to the success of Islamic groups such as Hizb ut-Tahrir. Hizb ut-Tahrir are a global Islamic organisation full of hardline religious nutters hell bent on [...]
My first taste of a Krispy Kreme donut was on a sponsored promotional run for a local car club. So luring was the promise of Krispy Kreme donuts (this was before a store had opened) that two of my housemates had come along seeing as the promotion promised us a box for each person that [...]
I noticed a few weeks ago ads on news.com.au appearing that looked a bit on the suss side. They appeared to feature some guy I wasn’t familiar with and something about ‘Anderson Cooper: A History of Lies’ and a ‘Freedom Special Report’.

Unless chaperoned it’s generally frowned upon for a female to be in the company of any unrelated male friends or acquaintances. This particular example as you can [...]
If I travel to another country and engage in an activity that is illegal there’s a good change I’m going to face some sort of penalty if I’m caught.

Hitler being appointed the caretaker of a holocaust memorial museum. Osama bin Laden put in charge of a construction team rebuilding the Twin Towers. Kevin Rudd being asked to judge diving at the next Olympics, except for the backflip event. All of these are horrifying absurd scenarios the world wouldn’t want to be confronted with [...]
Yesterday morning in Miranda, Sydney, a man or woman dressed in a burqa robbed a man at gunpoint. Then, less then 24 hours later over in the UK a cross-dressing robber wearing a burqa and hijab tricked jewelers into opening their door, only for an armed gang to raid the store. The man, dressed in [...]
Currently one of the biggest pushes for banning the burqa revolves around the argument that those that wear a burqa cannot be spot identified. If you’re walking down the street in one nobody has any idea who you are. Even if the police stop you and they’re unlucky enough to be male they have to [...]
There’s been a bit of a push in Europe lately to ban the burqa. France’s deliberation on the ban has been the most vocal and discussed; FRANCE’S top administrative body has advised the government against slapping a complete ban on the full Islamic veil but says outlawing the burqa in some places was justified for [...]
