You're right about the scary comments, but it seems in that particular case the debate has sunk to an all time low. Of the comments I did read they all seemed offensive, but then I'm not going to firebomb them for it.
You just wonder how many times parts of the Muslim population can shoot themselves in the foot. The type of reaction, manufactured as some of it was, just confirms in the minds of bigots and not so bigotted people that Muslims are all fanatics, ready to bomb you or burn your house down. It's through images like those appearing on the news screens that it's no wonder that one out of two children in Victoria when responding to a survey said that "Muslims were Terrorists" with no exceptions as quoted in The Age this morning.
