Bob Katter’s words have no place in modern Australia
If Bob Katter has any principles or moral fibre , he should immediately condemn the disgraceful words of Senator Fraser Anning, delivered in his maiden senate speech last week.

Anning's vile racist words have no place in today's Australia.
His use of the Nazi term "final solution" is particularly reprehensible.
Anning would disallow migration from certain countries, including that of the Katter family.
How do you feel when your heritage is spat on Bob?
Sack the clown, and let him and his 19 votes go to hell.

Terrorism does not respect religion
Someone has to remind Bob Katter and his latest recruit that in Australia, terrorism is carried out by Christians.
All of our attempted aircraft hijackings, for example, were done by Christians.
Also, it was a Christian in Australia who invented the technique used at New York’s World Trade Centre.
In December 1976, an Australian Christian stole a plane at Alice Springs airport, took it up and brought it straight down on the office of a local airline.
He killed six people, including himself.
Only Osama Bin Laden took any notice.
It was Christians who planted bombs along Sydney’s George St, who murdered the Turkish consuls in Sydney and Melbourne, who ran a terrorist army in Perth which blew things up and committed murder, who committed the Port Arthur massacre, the Belanglo State Forest killings and the mass burnings of backpackers at Childers and Kings Cross.
And then there’s the little problem of child abuse.
It doesn’t matter whether any of these Christians was a regular church-goer or not.
As we all know from Muslim terrorism, it’s the radicalisation caused by the religion which is at the central difficulty.
So if Australia had taken action years ago against Christians, we wouldn’t have had all these terrible things happen, would we?
And we also wouldn’t have creatures like Bob Katter’s newest mate trying to draw attention away from Australia’s Christian problem by attacking Muslims
I can already hear Katter’s little mate and other Christians jumping to their feet to bellow about the siege of Sydney’s Lindt café in 2014.
Yes, it was a Muslim who did that.
So I’d like to remind Christians everywhere of what Reverend Fred Nile had to say about it:
“The only real man inside the Lindt café was the gunman”.
Fred Nile is a New South Wales politician but he is also one of Australia’s self-appointed Christian leaders, and no Christians dispute this, so do we have to assume that all Christians agree with what he said?
The café manager tried to take the gunman’s gun away and got shot dead for his trouble.
But Christians like Nile can't allow that to make him a hero – he was gay.
So for Nile and all Christians, he was no man at all.
Christians believe that the Muslim terrorist who started the siege is the one who should be praised for what happened at the café.
And both Bob Katter and his little mate proudly proclaim that they too are Australian Christians.
They just “forget” the terrorism which is what Australian Christianity is really about.
G.T.W. AGNEW.
