Defining Appeasement & Attempting to Hide from Islamic Terror

[Enuff]

Although this story is slightly dated, I thought it well worth posting.

It appears our brothers ’down-under’ in the Australian government have hit a new moral low.

Does anyone really believe appeasement, isolation and attempting to hide will stop ’Islamic terrorism’ against those of other faith or belief? Well…the Australians seem to think so!

On October 8, “Prime Minister John Howard was yesterday censured by the Senate for misleading the public in his justification for sending Australia to war with Iraq….

The motion attacked Mr Howard for failing to adequately inform Australians that intelligence agency warnings about a war with Iraq would increase the likelihood of a terrorist attack.”

Will Australian’s lower their eyes in submission when approaching one of Islamic faith next year?

I find it ironic that, PM Howard was censured around and about the anniversary of “the Bali Massacre”. At least he had the fortitude to stand up to the terrorist threat, not like Canada, which was, and perhaps still is in denial. I hope that our good friends, the Aussies, have not lost their focus of who the real threat is.
A country will be targeted, whether it appeases Islamic-Terrorism or not… Canada holds a similar mindset and they are wrong, eventually to be proven, dead wrong.

I take it you must be aware of this story that just broke yesterday here in Toronto?

Terror suspect reported casing reactor not enrolled, McMaster says

By KEVIN MASTERMAN, TORONTO SUN




McMaster University officials say they have no record of a suspected al-Qaida operative posing as a student or casing their nuclear reactor facility. Adnan El Shukrijumah, who according to yesterday's Washington Times, was seen last year searching for nuclear material for a "dirty bomb" in Hamilton, never enrolled under that name or any of his aliases, a school official said yesterday.

The FBI issued a BOLO (Be on the Lookout) alert for El Shukrijumah, 27, in March.

He is believed to be part of an al-Qaida cell in Canada and the U.S. planning an attack using a dirty bomb, a conventional weapon laced with radioactive material.

El Shukrijumah has been described as a possible al-Qaida planner similar to Mohamed Atta, a key organizer of the Sept. 11 attacks.

A university spokesman said he has complete confidence in safety and security at McMaster's five-megawatt research reactor.

"We meet or exceed all requirements of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission," Dave Tucker, manager of radiation safety, said.

He said after Sept. 11 safety was stepped up at all nuclear facilities.

"There are extremely stringent safety and security measures around the facility," Tucker said.

FUEL RODS

Professors, grad students and staff are required to have background checks.

The reactor's uranium-based fuel rods are brought from the U.S. and shipped back when they are spent.

Saudi-born El Shukrijumah often travels with a Guyanese passport but has used Saudi, Canadian and Trinidad passports in the past.

His 72-year-old father, Gulshair, who lives in Florida, has defended his son, telling reporters he left the U.S. months before the Sept. 11 attack and has no links to terrorism.

The father said he has lost his post as the leader of a local mosque in Miramar, Fla., because of the suspicions surrounding his son.

Gulshair told the St. Petersburg Times his son now lives in Morocco with a new wife and child and teaches English.
