Australia is helping Bush do his thing over in Iraq (and believe me I - along with a lot of other people - knew that Usama Bin Laden wasn't there) and now we are caught up in our own country with people that we have given sanctuary to prettty welll putting us in a position of if the people of Islam do not have a war against us (in our own country) then they are against Islam. Should we send them all back to the country they come from so they can then fight for what they believe in!?

We in the West cannot afford to continue to pretend that these people and their religion are not our enemies. Yes, I know that many Muslims do not hate us--but a great many do, and their religion encourages it.
(This is different from Christianity. I know that many atrocities have been committed in the name of Christ, but they cannot be any stretch of the imagination be justified by our holy book. Not so with Islam. Big difference!)
Since their religion justifies violence and can be easily interpreted as requiring it, and since Mohammed set the example of violence, we must understand that it is peaceable Islam that is the aberration.
We must immediately curtail immigration of Muslims, monitor the Muslims in our countries (yes, while following our own laws--it can be done!), and ffollowing a no tolerance policy for Muslim lawbreakers. In the US, it is treason to advocate the overthrow of government through unlawful means.

It does look like Islamists have no interest in integrating themselves into non-Islamic societies. Thats fine if its their choice, but it means that eventually because of population growth demographics they will take over political control of those societies and then, as they always have, they will impose Islamic Law upon everyone else. I would rather not see that happen. So to answer your question...yes, I would buy them out at fair market value, give them some settlement money as well, and one way tickets to the Middle East. If I saw another way, some way they could or would integrate themselves peacefully into non-Islamic societies (the way Catholics live peacefully with Protestants everywhere in the world except Ireland for example), I would be glad to have them stay. But I do not want future generations living under the laws of a religion they do not believe in. Sorry, thats how I see it.

Let me answer your question.
First of all, for a Muslim cleric to ask his followers to put a Jihad against anyone fighting against Islam is blinded by his own extremism. It is a free world..but Islam is not a free religion. Sending people who practice Islam back to their country would be wrong on lots of levels. The best thing we can do is to read up and try to understand why people choose this way of life. Trust me, as a country of tolerance, we are not going to tolerate those who are willing to kill others just because we don't believe in their religion. The extremists only see black and white-nothing else.
The fight will continue out of its borders into other lands. The best thing we can do is arm ourselves with mental ammunition to fight those who want to harm our people.

No, I don't believe that Islamic people need to all be sent back to their country of origin, as many were persecuted in their former country and truly appreciate the tolerance exhibited by Australians. However, anyone caught inciting violence should definitely be deported.
Personally, I believe that Western society made a mistake when it made apologies and in some cases, policy, over the cartoon kerfluffle. Western society holds no religion above another, and Christianity has historically been the primary religion in most of Western nations, with that religion facing humor and humorous criticism. Now suddenly we're going to apologize for pictures of Muhammad with a bomb in his turban?
For every concession they get, they want another one, and they learned how to get concessions by means of violent protest. We opened our own can of worms by legitimzing their mass-hysteria once, not we're stuck this.

To answer your last question, yes. But you are ignoring the fact that islam has been at war with all of western civilization for a long time. It just wasn't well-known. So at least now they are declaring their intentions for all to hear. You cannot say that Iraq was not a part of the GWOT, since the political mix of the entire region was contributing to the growth of islamofascism. At least George Bush had the foresight to take action and try to change the regional power structure. Saddam Hussein was contributing to terrorism in many ways. He was suppressing most of his population. He was vocally contributing to the "hate the west" mantra. He was paying bounties to the families of homicide bombers. He was thumbing his nose at the UN (although in that respect, I have to begrudgingly agree with him that the UN is a toothless old tiger with no moral authority left).
No matter what the western world (and that includes Australia, who has been a great ally of ours) does, Islam will continue their drive to dominate the world, either by force or the soft invasion of immigration and reproduction. Some day, our descendants have sharia law to look forward to, unless we continue to fight.

Osama bin Laden and many other Muslim terrorist leaders called for the murder of every non-Muslim in the world, so this isn't the first time your life has been threatened.
And just because bin Laden is not in Iraq does not mean we should not be there. Stabilizing Iraq is more important than killing Osama. Killing Osama is more of a trophy and hopefully slows down his terrorist organization, but killing one person will not save the world.

First of all, the war in Iraq isn't a Bush thing! It is a war on radical muslim terrorists which should concern the entire world. Your country, as others, has allowed these muslims to come and stay. That is probably the biggest mistake ever. Yes I say send them all back and let them see what it is like to live in the midst of others like them. Let them kill each other, who cares!

I am certain that this is only one ideological Imam and not one of the majority of 'moderate' Muslims we keep hearing about. Oh, BTW, why don't those 'moderate' Muslims clean their own religion up? I don't see them volunteering by the thousands to go to the Mid-East and drive off the depraved radical maniacs. Come to think of it, I haven't even seen or heard a single one actually denounce them as radicals. You don't suppose they are all radicals at heart and waiting to blossom do you?
Send them all back quickly!

Muslims have caused more wars than any other single thing in the history of the world.

Yes. You should send them all back to the country they come from so they can then fight for what they believe in...
