Christian charity

Adolf Fiinkensein talks the talk about the value of Christianity in the modern world over at Sir Humphrey's. I was wondering about his possible religious affiliations last week when I read this post about a pipe bomb found in a car in Sydney:

Only a pipe bomb and some incidentals this time. A couple of likely lads from Lilyfield. Of course the coppers couldn't mention any names or allude to any ethnic or religious connections. That just would not do.

I wonder how far Lilyfield is from the Lakemba mosque.

Why on earth could he not wait a day for the pair to appear in court? Predictably, he was wrong again:
A man has pleaded guilty to possessing an explosive after police allegedly found a home-made pipe bomb containing 30 nails in a car he was driving in Bondi. Police arrested Troy David Moffatt, 20, of no fixed abode, on Thursday night. He will be sentenced later this month.
No, Adolf, not all bombers are Muslim. Christian values, such as tolerance and charity, are great. You should try them some time.

No, not all bombers are Muslim. But the overwhelming majority of them are.

Reactionary Rob, reactionary. Always defending the status quo ideas.

All those "status quo" ideas such as innocent until proven guilty, you mean, al? How inconvenient they are for people who live by a limited reality consensus that allows them to pass judgment on "the majority" without the inconvenience of having to take the individual into account.

Just correcting inaccuracy AL. I think facts are important, but that's probably just another status quo idea, right.

Call me old fashioned.

Ah, the PC brigade strikes again. So tell me, how far *is* Lilyfield from the Lakemba mosque? I can't recall any reports recently of tha Anglican Dioscesan Office in Sydney distributing sermons calling for the killing of large numbers of citizens. Tolerant? yes. Charitale? More than you will ever know. Blindly stupid? No.

Wrong? Yes.

And if it's PC to point that out, hey, I'm as PC as they come.
