Heightened security for Lakemba Mosque after firebomb threats BySally Rawsthorne One of Sydney’s most prominent Islamic houses of worship will have extra security for the coming week, after threats were made on Monday night to firebomb Lakemba Mosque. “We had close to 500 people here. Unfounded, bu...

Why do you keep throwing extreme nationalist outfits at me as if I belong to them or something? Let me repeat them, white rioters, Nazis, white rapist. Sorry I'd assumed you were Anglo Australian and therefore responsible for teaching out the antisocial behaviour of other Anglo Australians in your ...

Religious groups should be responsible for what they say to their communities. This particular church has some wacky preaching but thats fine unless youre LGBTQ. Why wouldnt they play a part in antisocial behaviour? Its not the cops role to teach it out of them. Dont be so naive. What did you do to...

That's a hot take... :? It's ridiculous yes but so is the idea that people of middle eastern heritage should be held collectively responsible for the antisocial behaviour of some of their members. 100% :thumbup: What I would say is it wouldn't take much to whip this congregation up into a frenzy......

Dont try and draw me into some ridiculous argument that doesnt make any sense. . You do know the people down there are part of this religion and were there to find the stabber, many of which were watching the service online? Why do you condone their violence against the police that were trying to h...

They cant control their "flocks". This reaction from angry young middle eastern men isnt totally uncommon. Fighting with police who where there to get the stabber just shows it takes anything to set them off on the right situation, luckily it didnt escalate too much but a number of police in hospit...

Anyone watching 3 Body Problem? One episode in....I'm sorta hooked so far.. I am similarly in and hooked. I enjoyed it all. Though it looks like audience numbers may not be high enough to earn a second season which is a shame. Might be a slow burner in terms of audience numbers. You could always re...

iT was live streamed if you really what to see it go to X. May have been "just" a pen but looks like he was stabbed multiple times, would till do some damage. A spokesperson for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Australia has already come out to unequivocally condemn the attacks. I would assume they c...

I didn't really speculate on the motivation yesterday as it was happening. I was more thinking what would I do in that situation if my kids were with me? To project my kids I thought of getting them to run away as fast as possible. I think that's a realistic solution given their age and the fact tha...

If RTS won the Daly M Medal doesn't that mean he's been the best player for some NRL seasons? As mentioned he didn't have stand out passing skills in rugby union. His running game was decent in Union but not as stand out in league. It seems that to be the best player in Rugby League you don't actual...

Yes the SS used to do the same in occupied countries, I believe. As did the US in Hiroshima. I'm not a fan of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as I think there are strong grounds to believe that the Japanese were already on the verge of surrendering. However even I wouldn't convict the America...

There’s nothing wrong with Junior Rugby in Australia. The problem is the intermediary step between school/rep/academy footy and Super Rugby. Which is why sevens player look comparatively developed at entry to this level. To Thomas story above, We keep getting told the best players in league are goi...

Shields Lakai and Iose DOMINATED that first half up front, they were put there to apply pressure and absorb the Cheifs pressure and they did remarkably for 40 minutes, we were unlucky to not be ahead by more No they didn't. The Canes forward pack dominated for the first quarter but they did not for...

Why do some of us get hung up on the height of a player in deciding whether he a 6-7-8? Play the best players and if you got 7 you want to throw up do it. I think the mistake we make at times is so and so is good over ball, so he must be 7 etc etc. The game is about all round skills these days, and...

The ref having final say over when fulltime is, is nothing new.

As Mr B mentioned the Crusaders only have themselves to blame after the players made a series of 4 ridiculous fundamental errors.

Lakai isn't an 8 though, he is way too short he plays to me more like a 7 should.(or a South African style 7) Kirifi plays like a traditional NZ 7 imo. Big tackle count and ruck champion. Lakai is basically the same height as Iose. South African 7 is the blindside. Lakai's used to playing 8 and it ...

The Blues defense is still by far the best in the comp - which wins tournaments. The Blues have only had one tough game so far - against the Canes - which they lost - and conceded 29 points. Let's see how they do with tough games coming up. That Blues game was weird though. The 6-2 bench split impl...

Great performance mostly from the Rebs. Lancaster will be up for higher honours sooner rather than later. Seems like a faster version of Kellaway. Not a bad call but Kellaway is probably the smartest and most reliable rugby back in the country. I wouldn't say that was a great performance. It was de...

Numbers don't mean a whole lot in Saffa land. Kolisi plays a combination of both sides and Lakai plays similar to him. According to the Canes website Lakai is shorter than Iose There is 2cm difference and they're both under 190m which is short for a loose forward now days. Kolisi is an absolute bea...

The second Lancaster try is a moot point anyway. The Rebels are a better team than the Highlanders. And only some unlikely calamity will stop them beating the Highlanders. Marginally. Rebels will get hammered against the better Keewee teams in the next few weeks I think :( I think they're comfortab...

The place the ball and then pick it up again is always a bit of a mystery to me. It's basically a knock on, but if you do it with intent then it's allowed. And he seemed purposeful, so try!!! It the ball doesn’t roll or bounce forward it’s not a knock-on. Knock-on : When a player loses possession o...

Anyone else feel like since Ardie is not playing this year, the Canes backrow now have more of a traditional balanced look about them? We currently have a 7 who plays 7, a 6 who plays 6 and an 8 who plays 8? Hmm.. For me Lakai is an 8 playing 7 and Iose offers even less at lineout than Savea. As go...

He basically rolled it forward

Absolutely. No try. Williams is pedantic but never when it matters.
