The terror raids have begun!

[love*today]

Looks huge on the news.....interesting that a neighbour has stated that she knew the guy for many years and he seemed ordinary, now you wouldn't expect them to walk around with a sign would you lol

Nuh, just reading atm....is that ok with you? 😄

Btw, I don't think that pic is off topic at all 🙂

[cherry*135]

Reading is fine, but that is not what you did. You are going off topic, pointing out off topic posts.

People have differing opinons ( re pic) is that OK with you?

If you have been 'reading' how come I can see posts you made?

[love*today]

No it is not.i don't like censoring .....is that ok with you?

thank you!!!!!

that was my point.  someone complained

about a pic of a terrorist being off topic on a terror

raids thread but obviously thought joking/teasing

about prawn was OK.  it would have been left alone

if the poster just replied "oh yeah.....i see what you mean"

No I wasn't crying nor did I insinuate the picture was off topic.  The cartoon was in very poor taste and quite sickening I don't need to be reminded of the terror those poor innocent people sufferred at the hands of these extremists. But I do have the right to ask for the offensive cartoon to be removed from a Community forum. I asked politely for it to be removed, now stop trying to make it something it wasn't.

Now i'm going back to gardening, have a lovely afternoon.

It looks like Harmony Day has arrived early.

HARMONY DAY

The message of Harmony Day is Everyone Belongs. It is a day to celebrate Australia’s diversity. It is a day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home – from the traditional owners of this land to those who have come from many countries around the world.

There are many ways we can celebrate Harmony Day – through sport, dance, art, film, music, storytelling, cooking and sharing cultural meals. By participating in Harmony Day activities we can learn and understand how all Australians from diverse backgrounds equally belong to this nation and make it a better place.

so it's pretty much an evil extreme sect who want to control all of islam & then ultimately the rest of the world I suspect,

& that is why so many muslims of various Islamic faiths are fighting it right now

yeah i get that...just like there are some

extreme christian groups, christian terrorist groups.

there are even buddhist extremists -

doesnt reflect on the mainstream religion OBVIOUSLY but whichever

way you look at it - there is religion involved.

The point is that topics where people start posting "off topic" are being locked.  Some people here would like to discus this topic.
