No arguments from me Wiley.

I thought it ironic, though, that the Taliban protested at Australias handling of the Tampa boat people! I guess most societies & religions have a "lunatic" fringe, I guess with the profile of Islamic fundamentalists being so high, we don't tolerate them as a whole as we would, say, orthodox Jews in Israel etc.

Were you also making a point that Taliban refugees from a reformed Afghanistan might request refugee status here? Now there's a quandry!
