The Australian approach ......
Interestingly in my post entitled Three cheers for Australia, attracted a couple of commenters - one accusing me of plagiarism and citing an article in Snopes.com and a second, which for some reason I seem to be unable to "approve" which provided a second link and identified this post on the same site as a source for verification of my first. I am going to do a cut and paste job on the comment I cannot approve to give the sender the credit for the link he sent me.

It wasn't plagiarized from any article about the U.S. It was pasted
together from actual quotes.
It is encouraging that more and more moderate voices from within the Islamic community around the world are slowly beginning to denounce the men and women of violence who have highjacked their religion in the pursuit of power. It is encouraging, but there is still a long way to go as the events of this week have proved with tourists being gunned down in Jordan one of the more "moderate" Islamic nations. Equally, the howling mob rejoicing at the roadside bombing that killed yet more servicemen for Mr Blair and his fellow anti-military cronies in Iraq, proves that reason and a desire for peace and normality is not uppermost in the minds of the average denizen of that benighted region.
We can but wait and see who will ultimately win this battle for the heart and soul of Islam. I suspect that it will be a long a very protracted struggle with many more innocent lives lost in the process.
