For those who don't know, he was jailed for three years in connection with the Bali bombings. He's just been released from jail, and loves Sharia (Islamic Law)

Hes also the guy that wants to creat a Muslim super-state (called "Daulah Islamiyah") which includes a bunch of countries surrounding Indonesia; including, as I understand it, part of Australia.

What are your thoughts on this? I'd offer mine now but I don't want to lead the discussion.

He wants the north-east coast (say Gulf of Carpentaria to Port Hedland) made part of his islamic 'super-state'. Most of its empty wasteland so...

But seriously. That guy is a nut.

So is a lot of Indonesia. Militant Islamism is on the rampage and the government is scared shitless.

Well - most of Indonesia I would define as 'moderate muslims' - meaning that they are the Muslim equivalent of you and me.

Yeah, I'm not saying Indonesian Muslims are all blood thirsty savages. Rather, there has recently been a surge in popularity. Not trying to tar them all with the same brush.

Lol.

Oh, and since this is an all-Aussie topic, can I ask anyone whether it has EVER been this cold?

Minimum last night: -5C. At 8am this morning: 1C. Maximum today: A very blamy 5 degrees at the time of a quater to three. And at 5pm: Back to 3C.

Hooray.

Huh, Melbourne's cold, but I don't think it's that cold. Then again, Canberra weather is stupid. I was flying home from Brisbane once, and leaving Brisbane was bright and sunny, landing for the changeover in Canberra, pelting down, arriving in Melbourne, bright and sunny. Seriously, did God know John Howard was in town or something?

It has been very cold the last month in the Sydney region as-well. That guy should be shot or worse, sent to Guantanamo Bay

But Fussion, everyone knows Guantanamo Bay is a perfectly humane prison facility

Canberra's weather is kinda fucked up.

Boiling in summer. 25C is a minimum maximum.

Strange weather storms. Sunny one minute. Absolutely PELTING the next. Sunny again 10 minutes later - as if rain was a thing of stories. WTF?

And, of course, ab-so-lute-ly FREEZING in winter.

But we still get no snow.
