Imagine I posted that I was 'concerned' that a navy captain had converted to Judism? Would you come to my aid if someone mocked my statement.
I doubt it.
You're very quick to make a judgement on what I would do. Any claim you made to the above effect would be met with with a response identical to the one I made about the pilot.

My criticism of that pettiness above still stands. I thought you might have been at least grownup enough not to defend it.
Mate...you've attacked me for finding 'concerned' and 'interested' funny. Your hardly one to talking about pettiness.
No, I suggested that you might be better to avoid such pettiness. I think it was faily well mannered. Rather than the automatically Pavlovian frothing at the mouth that I see habitually from you.

As for my opinion, I don't have a problem with the pilot converting to Islam. As for him joining the Army of Islam and without further information I assume
this Army of Islam ....
wikipedia "Notorious for their kidnapping of BBC reporter Alan Johnston and capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, Army of Islam, which appears to draw inspiration from, or is linked to al-Qaeda, have also conducted at least one bombing of a Palestinian civilian target (an empty school) and a number of other kidnappings. The group has been previously closely related to Hamas, but has been since shunned by both Hamas and Fatah. The group has also been known as the organisation of al-Qaeda in Palestine."
it's not like I can tell him he can't do it. If he deserted than there are legal consequenses there especially if legally he is still considered a part of the Australian Military Forces and passes on sensitive information. Will he attack Australian or western interests or citizens??? I assume he will, as he has joined a
millitant movement proven in these actions. [b][i]THAT is what will make him an enemy of this country,
NOT the fact that he was or has converted to Islam.
Mate..I suggest you go back and read the opening post. The 'army of Islam' quote came from the poster, who felt that by using such emotive language he/she might make a greater impact.
There is no mention of the 'army of Islam' whatsoever, from a site, that mind you has already been shown to be a hoax.
Besides, how could anyone possibly know that he has joined the 'army of islam'...a group that I have never heard of mind you.
So something you have never heard of doesn't exist? Is that your argument? And because you have never heard of them " how could anyone possibly know that he has joined the 'army of islam'". I guess that makes sense to you. But at least google ' The Army of Islam'. or see my wiki entry above.
Blame the opening poster, if that is an issue for you. But you did insist that I give an opinion which I did. At the time of said insistance you failed to add the qualifiers to your request that would limited my answer. Possibly to one more suited to you. I am an obliging person but balk at being railroaded or harranged.

Why do you assume he will attack Australian interests? Why have you even concluded that he has joined 'an army of Islam'?
beleive it or not...thousands of Australians convert to Islam, and though this might really surprise you, but they don't all join 'terrorist' groups. Heck...there are even two on this board.
I will alter part of my response happily, from
I assume he will, as he has joined a millitant movement proven in these actions. to
I assume he might ,the rest I will allow to stand. Read it again if you are confused with the differentiation between as man joining Islam and a RAAF pilot joining a terrorist group.
And you last comment I can simply rely... No I believe it, and it does not surprise me.
I believe what I have now stated is complete and clear, so this particular subject (for me) is closed unless new INFORMATION comes to hand.
