Well this is interesting.
I'll be following the details of the trial closely I guess to see what evidence comes out. Maybe I was wrong about these laws, maybe not.
I still have a gut feeling that Howard is optimising his timing... And based on the statements that I've seen on TV... some statements by these apparently radical muslims seem no more that what a christian might say (I'm not religious myself). ie there is a or moral code taught in their religion and a seperate law which has been created by the society in which they live.
(... I am not always sure whether I'm seeing a full interview or just special clips...)
Anyways... seems to me that it's actions that count. If they were making bombs or planning to, that is quite different to me than taking an ideological stand which happens to be different to the government of the day.
