Glad we cleared that up

Another follower of the Religion of Peace has fallen out of favor with Australian authorities over religious rights. Supermarket stacker and part-time terrorist-wannabe, Zeky Mallah, apparently thought that shooting Australians came under the banner of 'religious freedom', and has faced court charged with planning a terrorist attack.

Many people feel their boring life needs a change. And when normal people feel they need the excitement of making fools of themselves in front of large crowds, they go and and audition for Australian Idol before taking a lashing from the judges and slinking back to merely singing in the shower. No-one can come in and tell you how awful you sound if you lock the door.

But the attention seeking Zeky apparently felt the need to sing for an undercover federal agent posing as a journalist - and even sold him a video of himself detailing his plans. Bad call, Zeky - you would have been better off singing some reworked Cat Stevens songs.

Zeky, quoted several months earlier as insisting he had 'no violent thoughts', certainly seems to have gotten in touch with his inner anger. Apparently he was planning to kill two agents in an effort to make Australian authorities go 'softer' on Muslims. And wouldn't that have succeeded!

Zeky is innocent until proven guilty of course, but even so, this sings volumes about the mindset of some people. Violence is the answer, and even if violence will quite obviously achieve the opposite of their desired goal, they don't care. Presumably violence is not a means - it is purpose in itself for many people.

So the next time you see an angry young man stacking shelves in the local supermarket with "I SLAM" written on his head-band, do your bit for cultural integration - encourage him to audition for Australian Idol. It's the way people in civilized countries make fools of themselves in 2004. This jihad martyr stuff is just soooo 2001.
