As a side note, I assume the phrase "little kids pelted with crap on 
their way to school" is a reference to what happened in Ireland last
week; however, this is exactly what happened in Queensland, Australia,
to a group of Muslim children on their way to school today.

I sincerely hope this doesn't spread. If the hijackers were Muslim,
(or Hindu, Jehovah's Witness, or Unitarian), the whole religion does
not deserve to be tarred like this. Narrow-minded and senseless.
