Watch the hate come out now because its Pickering.
He is allowed an opinion and free speech without having to live in fear of Islamic Muslim terrorists and have his life and family threatened
So who else in the media will be threatened by Islam for having an opinion
CONTROVERSIAL cartoonist Larry Pickering has been placed under protective surveillance by counter terrorism police after he posted a derogatory picture depicting the prophet Muhammad on his website.
Mr Pickering was visited at home by detectives from Queensland Police on Sunday evening.
The officers, who arrived unannounced, said Mr Pickering had “upset a lot of people” and they were putting the four-time Walkley Award-winning cartoonist under high-priority protective surveillance.
“They didn’t say specifically why they were there,” Mr Pickering said.
“I guess they must have picked up some intelligence or chatter after I did the cartoon.
“They gave me their details and special phone numbers and said if I call they will be there in minutes.”

“I might be more prominent than some but we have to show that we won’t be cowed by acts of barbarism.”
Police also told Mr Pickering that other articles he had published had been “provocative”.
“I’m standing up for free speech,” he said. “If you don’t do that then you have already lost the board game.”

Its illegal to leave a dog in a car aloneDo you have a link to that Az please? I never knew that and I've been googline without success. I know it is illegal if the
temperature/humidity is high but otherwise I didn't know. I never leave my dog in a car as it hates it and kicks up bigtime, but a lot of my friends do (not in the heat).
I don't know about the laws but I did get an officical police warning when I was dog sitting and left the dog in the car for half an hour one night.

Either way. I've heard it said before that "boongs don't like dogs". Please understand, not my words.
Perhaps he meant he let the dog out as he normally does every time he sees someone he thinks might be a Muslim walking towards him.

Wrong again, the dogs are inside, part of the family; the one that I bred is allowed on furniture, but not on their bed. The breeder in France have the whole pack all over the house, including their bedroom, when I visited them they had 7 dogs, and they took me to visit other people who had dogs from them, some of them were also Muslims, and I did not see one single dog not being treated the way I expect my pups to be treated = part of the family, living inside with access to the garden.

I think some people can't get their heads round the idea that not every single thing written in the Koran is obeyed to the letter by every single Muslim.
Jewish law lays down incredibly complicated rules for cooking anfd food handling - rules that probably made sense in the Middle East all those centuries ago. Nowadays however not many Jews folow all those laws to the letter.
