I just love them Aussie troops, don't you?

Question

Australia's defense minister Tuesday rejected criticism of the country's special forces in Afghanistan after they were accused of detaining suspected Taliban militants in dog pens — a report that outraged a key Islamic community leader.

Australian Defense Minister Joel Fitzgibbon confirmed Tuesday that four suspected insurgents who were arrested by special forces soldiers on April 29 were held for 24 hours in a compound occasionally used to house dogs.

Dogs are considered impure by observant Muslims and the soldiers' actions prompted strong criticism from the head of Australia's main Islamic group, the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils.

"It is quite appalling that the Australian soldiers are in any way caught up in the inhumane treatment of human beings — irrespective of who they are," said federation president Ikebal Patel. "I think it's quite despicable that something like that could happen and that the Australians are party to it."

Just where muslims belong, a dog pen.

Answer 1

i don't agree with your muslim bashing, and the treatment of pow's has gotten worse these days. i certainly do support the troops who sacrifice for their country but not always in favor of the methods they are "INSTRUCTED" to enact.

please try not to be so narrow minded in the future:)

Answer 2

Yeah as an Aussie i dont fault our troops one bit.

Bob Brown of the Australian Immoral Greens says this was wrong. Funny thing was, he didnt say a word when Islamiuc terrorists were beheading aids workers in Afgainstan and Iraq.

This was only leaked due to some left wing tools, who not only spit on our troops but would rahter lay down like a prostitute and let the terrorists have what they want.

I would rather be locked in a dog pen than beheaded, how dare they get uppity with the c**p they do.

Answer 7

Um... we're in a war, and they want to banter about insurgents being in a compound that security dogs are occasionally held?  Those dogs are awesome, and very well trained.  

The suspected insurgents should be honored.
