Breaches of terrorism laws. What is significant is that half
of the accused have not been found guilty, reflecting the care
of the judge and jury NOT to generalise the acts of a criminal
few to the Muslim community at large.. who helped to tip off
the authorities about the problem in our midst.
Win/Win/Win.

Blow shit up, according to them.
The defence that they were empty blowhards does not absolve
them of inciting idiots as violently disturbed as themselves
to murder and mayhem.
trust a lightweight tosser like you to defend self confessed terrorists.
> How does that show that our legal system works?
Caught, charged tried and found guilty by a jury of their peers.
That's the system.. it works better than you do.

"Islamic group happy justice is done
- Herald Sun 16/9/2008
Seems like the Muslims agree with me.
And for much the same reasons as myself
No doubt that infuriates the bigots on both sides,
especially the rabid Islamophobes! B^)
"VICTORIA'S peak Islamic group welcomed the mix of
convictions and acquittals as proof the justice system works.
"What we were concerned about right at the outset back
in 2005 (when charges arose) was that the men who were
charged would be given a fair trial and the justice system
was able to operate fairly," Islamic Council of Victoria
executive member Malcolm Thomas said.
"The temperature of the environment at the time in
respect of the Muslim and Islamic community in general
has been quite high. We were concerned those sorts of
sentiments may creep into the trial.
"But I think what has happened is that the jurors have
made their decisions based on the evidence.
"For the ICV's point of view, that is all we could
ask for.
"Justice (Bernard) Bongiorno has taken great
effort to make sure (jurors objectively considered
the evidence), and the fact the jurors took three
weeks to come to a decision supports that."
A spokesman for Australia's mufti, or grand leader,
Sheik Fehmi Naji el-Imam, said that he would reserve
comment until the final verdicts were delivered."

"And argue not with the People of the Scripture
unless it be in ( a way) that is better,
save with such of them as do wrong;
and say: We believe in that which hath been revealed unto us
and revealed unto you;
our God and your God is One,
and unto Him we surrender."
