I luv this guy. Here we are trying to defend ourselves with both arms tied behind our backs, standing on one leg, buried up to our necks in the ground, blindfold, with terrorists leaping over our heads in burhkas and with bombs in both hands. And when we are naughty enough as to reach up and bite their balls off they holler 'foul'. Gimme shelter someone! Tutu should keep his attention unwaveringly on South Africa and district. That will keep him busy for the next 500 years.

It's not the same situation as it was in South Africa. None of these Muslims have been brought here against their will. They are free to leave to the countries they call home. Not all minorities are racially discriminated against to a point where life becomes extremely hard. Those who find themselves in those situations often have brought it on to themselves.
Usually conducting acts of terror or supporting terrorists doesn't go well with the local populace.

Quite right, Redneck. Muslims are not treated badly or discriminated against here, even under the present difficulties. The opposite is true. Playing the victim is favourite political ploy which pays big political dividends.

Playing victim is a favored tactic the world over. I won't mention group names but I think we all know who they are.
