Do not incite violence
Do not incite violence
While we all condemn the recent terrorism in Bali, there must
be a clear comparison with what is happening in Iraq. It is wrong
for Australian Prime Minister John Howard to incite violence and
hatred and be part of the attacks on Iraq that have killed more
than 100,000 innocent civilians, and then condemn the Bali
bombings and accuse the Indonesian government of not doing enough
to fight terrorism.
If we accept that the actions of terrorists are wrong,
then we must equally accept that the war crimes of John Howard
are far worse and all must be held accountable.
John Howard has betrayed all Australians, not only the Muslim
community, and we must never forgive or forget the illegal
attack on Iraq.
