Maybe. But how is this different from women screaming sexual harassment or gays complaining of sexual discrimination? And you don't know that the copper in question *wasn't* being a total prick about the whole thing (off-topic: that thing in Queensland the other week was unbelievable!). I think it's funny he accused the police officer of being "un-Australian" though :-) WTF does that mean?! :laugh: And is there really a place called Punchbowl?! Shog9 ain't the only one who's bored...

Not in any way, the point is that again, political correctness allows the minorities to get away with murder. Taka Muraoka wrote: And you don't know that the copper in question *wasn't* being a total prick about the whole thing You only have to read the article. If the cop did anything specific, this guy would say what it was. He was driving without a LICENCE !!!! He calls that a 'small mistake'. Speeding *can* be a small mistake ( for example if your car sped up a little going down a hill and you're 10 over the limit ), but driving without a licence is clear disrespect for the law and other drivers.

I confidently predict this is the start of every Islamic person who wants to break the law coming to realise they can cry unfair play in the current political climate and everyone will be too scared to point out that no matter where you wear your towel, the law is the law. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mufti slams 'un-Australian' police The spiritual leader of Australia's Islamic community said a police officer who arrested him on traffic charges acted in an un-Australian way. Sheik Taj El Din Al Hilaly will face court for allegedly assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, carrying a protruding load from his vehicle and driving while unregistered and uninsured. The charges stem from a clash with an officer on a street in Wiley Park, in south-western Sydney, yesterday. The mufti said while the officer who arrested him was doing his job, he went about it the wrong way. "Police officer, he try to do his job but not through Australian way; I think he try the Chicago way, not Australian way," Sheik Hilaly told the Seven Network. "If it my mistake, a small mistake, but the police officer, he did a big mistake." The mufti was stopped on King Georges Road at 11.25am (AEDT) yesterday because of a piece of metal protruding from the driver's side of the car, police said. As the officer spoke with him, a 23-year-old male came out of a nearby apartment block and started arguing with police, a spokeswoman said. The mufti then complained of chest pain and was taken to Canterbury Hospital, where he underwent tests before being released shortly after 8pm. Lawyer Stephen Hopper said Sheik Hilaly would "vigorously defend" the charges and the police had overreacted to a minor traffic matter. "The police acted inappropriately over a minor traffic matter that really should have gone nowhere," Mr Hopper said. Mr Hopper said the mufti hoped the incident would not jeopardise the relationship between the Islamic community and the police. "He's appealed for calm by members of the Islamic community and wants them to wait until the legal process has taken its course," Mr Hopper said. Sheik Hilaly was in "reasonable spirits" but was "traumatised and stressed" by the incident, Mr Hopper said. Police said a 23-year-old Punchbowl man would be summonsed on a charge of assaulting police.

Yes, exactly, that is what I find so strange. Why would anyone stand up for someone who is doing something wrong? Cheers, Fredrik

People are sheep, they follow the herd whether they are going out to graze or going in to the slaughter. If you had the resources and time (and more often than not merely the confidence) to dedicate you could get half of your country to march for equal rights for Tuna fish -- and they'd believe it to their very core. All of the great advances and great pit falls of human kind have relied on that simple fact.

Actually, you're probably right. My description is probably more appropiate for the conservative Muslims, those who adamantly believe that the non Muslim is always wrong. The liberal Muslims would give equal weighting to the non Muslim and Muslim. Unfortunately in our current day, conservative Islam's population has grown quite numerous. Whenever a large number of them are present, there can be conflict if one of them is offended. In Western countries, the conflicts are typically limited to cries of racism or unfairness. In other countries, conflicts can become physically violent, as in India.

"Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas."Fredrik Skog wrote: Why would anyone stand up for someone who is doing something wrong? Why? Because of this thinking, "People from your group are always right, and everybody else is always wrong." Yes, there are people who think like this. They will defend their own whether right or wrong. It's the thinking of people who have wrongheaded ideas of superiority of one type of man over another.
