Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists appear to be muslims.
Incedently I didnt cry for the drug smuggler, he got what he deserved.
As the Lady said on 7 news tonight (cant remember her name) "Muslims are welcome to our home but if they cant abide by our rules then they should go back to where they come from"

What Howard means is that racism is not an underlying principle of Australian culture.
Yes, it's definitely there; but it's an aberration, not an essential element of the Autralian psyche.

Its natural to want to look after your own.
How far back in time do you want to go? The slave traders?
The world is still a better place now despite terrorism etc.
