Read this tonight:
..The Mufti of Australia, Sheikh Fehmi Naji El-Imam, issued a statement following today's conviction of a seventh man for being part of a homegrown terrorist cell. ...Mixed emotions? Just what emotions are supposed to be mixed?
"The Islamic community is relieved that this legal process has now come to some conclusion," the sheikh said.
"Although we were not present throughout this lengthy trial, we are confident that the accused were given the opportunity to present their innocence.
"The reaction from the Muslim community to the verdicts is one of mixed emotions, as many people know of these men and empathise with the hardship that their families have endured to date and will continue to endure beyond today."
UPDATE: Looks like the terrorists wanted to kill John Howard. Fortunately we didn't get to see the Muslim community's emotional reaction to that.
