Andrew Robb, according to a story from "Australia's biggest-selling daily newspaper," said this to a conference of 100 imams:

"We live in a world of terrorism where evil acts are being regularly perpetrated in the name of your faith."

and

"Because it is your faith that is being invoked as justification for these evil acts, it is your problem.

"You can't wish it away, or ignore it, just because it has been caused by others.

"Instead, speak up and condemn terrorism, defend your role in the way of life that we all share here in Australia."

Very courageous remarks. If heeded (everywhere, not just in Australia), the result would bring the world a lot closer to justice and peace than the silly America- and Bush- bashing that so-called "Peace Prize" winners indulged in at yesterday's PeaceJam.
