Australia: Two men facing terrorism charges threatened to kill prime minister

I wonder if they used to enjoy sunny afternoons at Cronulla beach. "Two men facing terrorism charges threatened to kill prime minister, court told," from AP, with thanks to all who sent this in:

Two men accused of being members of a terrorist organization in Australia threatened to kill Prime Minister John Howard, court officials said Friday as the men were denied bail.

Abdulla Merhi, 20, and Hany Taha, 31, were among 10 men charged in the city last month with being members of a terrorist organization. They had applied for bail in Melbourne Magistrates Court.

During the hearing, Crown prosecutor Nick Robinson told the court police intercepted a conversation when Merhi said: "For example if John Howard kills innocent Muslim families do we ... have to kill him and his family?" court was told....

In November, police arrested 18 suspected members of extremist Islamic cells in Sydney and Melbourne and said they were plotting a catastrophic attack in Australia, possibly targeting a nuclear reactor on the outskirts of Sydney.

Give them paper cuts on the finger, put them in a boat, drive them out about a half mile, and push them in....Let them swim for their freedom.

Hey, with those names, they must be Buddhists or
Catholics, right? The failure of multiculturalism, isn't it?

What it is is the failure of an absolute notion
of tolerance, in which a violently intolerant
ideology masquerading as a religion must be
tolerated. Sorry, that doesn't make sense. The
most basic law of civilization is reciprocity.

DCWatson, that's a good idea. I think Australia
should do it with all mohammadans. Those sharks
are endangered, and need food.

The suggestion in the first posting on this thread endows with new significance the title of John Singleton Copley's famous painting -- "Watson and the Shark."

Gee - you know you can sleep safe at night when peaceful Muslims are practising their religion!
One thing for sure the Aussies will fight back regardless of 'racist reports' by journos from
loony left in Australia or abroad.There are plenty of ANZAC bros & sisters in Kiwiland who support you : don't be fooled by PC crap of our New Labour Dhimmis who will be booted out before another 3yrs. This hypocritical Dame [who happily
trades with Iran & China] has just voted herself
another whopping pay rise which should just about
put the kybosh on any credibility Clarke & Co have left...
