Despite a Muslim recently saving Paul Sheehan's bacon (see my 7/10/14 post Paul Sheehan's Narrow Escape), the Fairfax calumnist's momentarily softened heart has once again hardened against the fanatical Mohammedan hordes and their false religion:
"A de facto world war is under way and it has everything to do with Islam. It is not thousands of lone wolves. It is not un-Islamic conduct. It involves thousands of Muslims acting on what they believe is their religious duty to subjugate non-believers, as outlined in the Koran. And the problem is growing, not increasing." (Crimes have everything to do with Islamic faith, 12/1/15)
Charlie Hebdo? Not really. More like memories of a footloose youth. Memories of a time when hair was king, and hippie chicks beckoned and called; when Journey to the East and Dharma Bums were required reading; when a joint was something you inhaled, not complained about; when one could ride the Kombi along the hippie trail all the way to London. Above all, a time when the natives knew their place and obligingly parted way for the hippie hordes:
"Young Australians used to travel overland from Singapore to London. That route has become a hell-hole. Pakistan is dangerous. Afghanistan is a no-go area. Iran is an oppressive theocracy. Iraq is disintegrating. Syria is a disaster area. Lebanon is dangerous. In Turkey, for the first time, Australians travelling to Gallipoli will be going under a security alert. All these Muslim countries used to be safe to travel in."
So what happened? Islam... obviously.

What else, MERC? What else? Budhism? Putinism?
Is it really that hard?
Try Western intervention, racism and colonisation
Yes Merc .
And what about Israel - the gift to humanity & world peace that keeps on giving .
Its behaviour never varies , never improves .
Where would the world be without Israel?
Probably , largely at peace , I'd say .
Of course Paul Sheehan is wrong...again.
The Hippy overland rout did not begin or end in Singapore in the 1970's, for one very good reason-Burma.
Burma has been strictly off limits for through trafic for decades.
Afghanistan was never safe even at petrol stations frequented by foreigners.
Australians were once popular around the world but not anymore.
The reason for the hostility is that our governments continue to offer unconditional support and make feeble excuses for the Bandit State, despite public opinion in Australia.
