The Taliban declared a Jihad against Australia.

Yes, I heard that, but not sure why. Is it because Australia is refusing admittance to refugees? If so, it seems a bit potty, since the refugees are tying to escape the Taliban....

How are the family coping, Yorick? And when is the funeral, so we can keep you all in mind that day? Sorry, I know this is not the place.... maybe you could post in GD?

You're being sarcastic right?

Remember that western logic is not Wahabist/Talibanese logic.

This is why navel gazing of American policy is fruitless in determining why the attacks took place, and why exploration of Wahabism is very necessary.

They do not think like you and I.

Er.... no. I am probably just plain ignorant. I haven't a clue why the jihad, I only caught a brief mention on UK radio... The escaping Afghanis were all I could think of - after all, why select Australia for a Jihad and not the UK or the rest of Europe? Maybe they have. I have been very involved in rehearsals and learning lines lately - not seen/heard much news.

This is true! Until all people gain some understanding of the 'others' there will be no real peace in this world.

This Jihad mind set is very baffling. Missed communications everywhere. What face-saving elements can anybody give up now to stop this war? Talks broke down for years and years about this face-saving thing between USA and Taliban. Pride cometh before the fall.??
Yorick, you will have to explain what Austrailia did to start this up? Well, as your thoughts allow. I have no clue and thats why I asked.

They called for Jihad against Australia because of the support militarily othwise that the aussies have given the US for this war. The Talibad ambassador to Pakistan said something to this effect "Any who side with America will be considered the enemy and the Jihad will include them, and also those Afghans who will not support the Taliban"

Conan, I have no idea other than the broad 'tarring with the same brush'. We're all English speakers right? Aussies got killed in Pakistan by rioters/protestors.

Bin Laden et al want a Jihad. Muslim vs Christian/Jew.

Doesn't matter that Australia has a large peaceful Islamic community.

In Oz we have two disturbing things.

1. Our closest significant neighbour is the largest Islamic nation of the face of the earth that outnumbers us 180 million to 20 million.

I'm sure that any idiots who heed Osamas call will ignore the peaceful relations Australia and Indonesia have enjoyed and that Aussie military helped train Indo military.

Does that mean we created Indonesia? America trained Osama, yet people like to say America created Osama....

2. There are problems brewing regarding the firebombing of Christian Churches, and voices raised about the proliferation of Lebanese in Australia.

Yukky yukky yukky.

As to whether their is a single isolated event that triggered the Jihad, I doubt it.

It's up to Muslims to reject the Wahabist lunacy and ignore the call.
