Giving the Me Generation a run for its money, young Australian Muslims want to give new meaning to the date '9-11.' Why should that day be about the worst terror attack the world has ever known; an attack that killed thousands of Americans? From now on, it should be about them:
Islamic youth organisations that were not part of Prime Minister John Howard's summit yesterday say they have been working against extremism behind the scenes.
They have chosen a date for a planned day of action - September 11.
The group says it wants to try to change the date's association with extreme Islamic violence, and to highlight how mainstream Muslims have become victims of prejudice and bias.
Someone in Australia please ask these disrespectful sons-of-bitches if what's on their plate is so hellish that jumping out of a skyscraper would be preferable.

Posted by: Donnah at August 24, 2005 10:20 AMYes, but it proves again and again that they are not concerned with the respect for our dead, but about their own legacy. The more I read about these various Muslims worldwide, that's where their focus is: themselves. This thing in Australia is among the most crass ever.

I do not understand the why people are suprised at this. This is one of the tactics of an enemy that bitterly detests non Wahabbis. We should expect more of this. It is detestable but such is war.
