 The Muslims Are Coming!

Batten down the hatches!

GrodsCorp favourite and Australian Hero John Ray has posted some shocking statistics about Muslim populations in Europe:

Marseilles - 25 percent (200,000 of 800,000)
Malmo - ~25 percent (67,000 of 270,000)
Amsterdam - 24 percent (180,000 of 750,000)
Stockholm - 20 percent (>155,000 of 771,038)
Brussels - ~20 percent (some say 33 percent)
Moscow - 16 percent-20 percent (2 million of 10-12 milllion)
London - 17 percent (1.3 million of 7.5 million)
Luton - 14.6 percent (26,963)
Birmingham 14.3 percent (139,771)
The Hague - 14.2 percent ( 67,896 of 475,580)
Utrecht - 13.2 percent (38,300 of 289,000)
Rotterdam - 13 percent (80,000 of 600,000)
Copenhagen - 12.6 percent (63,000 of 500,000)
Leicester - 11 percent (>30,000 of 280,000)
Aarhus - ~10 percent
Zaan district (Netherlands) - 8.8 percent
Paris - 7.38 percent (155,000 of 2.1 million)
Antwerp- 6.7 percent (>30,000 of >450,000)
Hamburg - 6.4 percent (>110,000 of 1.73 million)
Berlin - 5.9 percent (~200,000 of 3.40 million)

According to Prof. Moron “You can’t even escape them in Russia, it seems.

James Ozark sez “Bottom line is, if you think this doesn’t reflect what will eventually become a fundamental shift in European culture, or that that isn’t important, or that it won’t affect you (or your children, if you ever decide to have them), then you should think again.

The writing is very much on the wall.”

Unfortunately, it doesn’t count when someone like John Ray puts it there:

Let’s not forget that according to AWH David Hicks is, get this, a “child raper”. Our fan club is very disappointed.

Update: As many of you know, the bloggers at AWH like to make empty threats. I’ve previously commented on their lack of follow-through on the threats. That is, lack of follow-through until now.

First they shot me right in the heart by, get this, adding in pointless comments to my comment with square brackets!

You know, maybe I don’t pay enough attention [no - you’re just seriously stupid] but I wasn’t aware that Hicks was a “child raper” [Really? Thanks for that - hadn’t heard that one before now]. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were making it up! [Nope - that was you] Every time I hear you say something, I am amazed at your stupidity, you seem to get dumber every time.

OH, SEE WHAT I DID! ZING!

[Yes - you demonstrated what a complete moron you are. Keep it up.]

The blog that claims David Hicks is a child rapist, yes, read that again, child rapist, is calling me a moron! How will I ever live with myself?

You’re an idiotic troll, Surname, and you’re about to find out happens to them.

Nothing, apparently.

Surname’s getting out of hand is he, oh my what a shock a leftist moron with a surname called, well, surname, can’t behave himself around these parts.

Go back to your stupid random blog you consistent buffoon.

…What?

By the way John Tosser, they just found your ex-booooyfriend Hicksie, maybe you could head on over and maybe shake it for him or whatever you alternate types get up to.

You read correctly. There are still people in the world who think implying that someone is gay is a valid putdown.

You can watch in horror as Australia’s foremost intellectuals take me to task here.

Update #2:

It’s official - AWH is the most pissweak blog on the internet. Yet again their “tough man” threats have come to nothing. Nothing!

 David Hicks Fanclub

 Categories: Blogosphere, Bogans   Tags: ,

To backup Tim Blair’s ludicrous claim that the left are “fans” of David Hicks, I am starting up my own David Hicks Fan Club. If you join, you’ll recieve:

* David Hicks hat.
* Sodomy baton (signed by Hicks himself!)
* Framed replica of the shirt he walked out of prison in.
* Replica bazooka.
* Bi-monthly newsletter featuring the latest Hicks news, photos and gossip.
* Introduction letter from Phillip Adams.
* Taser (”Don’t tase me bro!”)
* Monogrammed pyjamas.
* A “Tim Blair Is Shallow” Crikey T-Shirt (Tim has promised to personally email everyone who wears the shirt and demand they take it off, lyk, NOW, or he’ll remove your link from his blogroll)

If you want to join, just leave a comment. I’m aiming for at least 9000 members.

 And they’re off

I suppose today signaled the start of the election year race, what with Parliament sitting for the first time in ‘07. And as usual things got off to a roaring start. Wasn’t it beautiful to see The Man Of Steel groveling in a last-minute correction to Hansard, claiming that he never meant to deny a link between emissions and climate change. “Your Honour, my government is the best friend that the climate has (as long as Australian industry doesn’t need to give up a single dollar of profit.)”

And come on, just admit that watching the David Hicks issue slowly explode in John Howard’s face like a box of illegal Fyshwick firecrackers brings joy to your soul.

The Ghoul was on the 7:30 Report tonight getting slaughtered by Kerry O’Brien while wearing his bloody Amnesty International badge again. I’ve written about this grotesque hypocrisy before. And Phil said something curious when Kerry asked him about evidence gained under coercion: “coercion — whatever that is…”

It’s torture, Philip. Your lapel sponsor Amnesty International says so.

So on the day when polls suggest that Labor has an actual advantage coming into the election year, as opposed to an imagined advantage (refer to Latham, M), it’s time for GrodsReaders to lay their cards on the table. Leave a comment predicting the election result by party and margin. Come November(ish) the winner will receive a custom-made jpeg image declaring them the GrodsElectionPredictionChampion to delete from their inbox display proudly on their blog sidebar.

The Editor tips Labor by three seats.

 More terrorist weasel language

It’s becoming increasingly clear that when it comes to terrorism, weasel language is the way of the future. Last week The Man Of Steel and The Ghoul (ie. Philip Ruddock — thanks to joe2 in comments for the cool name) proved that torture is okay when you’re torturing potential terrorists because then it’s only “coercion”. Now it seems that being locked alone in a small concrete cell for 23 hours per day is not solitary confinement, but simply being blessed with a “single-occupancy cell”.

The campaign to paint Guantanamo Bay as a holiday resort is intensifying with right-wing commentators such as Tim Blair and Andrew Bolt so awestruck by inmates’ calorie intake and medical care I reckon they should check themselves in for an extended stay.
