'Just before Christmas a young Afghan, presumably Muslim, drove a vehicle through a group of pedestrians in Flinders Street in Melbourne. Some people were seriously injured.

Twelve months earlier another man did the same thing, killing innocent people including a ten-year-old girl from the Jewish community.' (Introduction)

1 9 y separately published work icon Once Were Radicals Irfan Yusuf , Crows Nest : Allen and Unwin , 2009 Z1583986 2009 single work autobiography humour 'What happens when a nice Muslim Australian boy considers joining the jihad in Afghanistan? Irfan Yusuf grew up in John Winston Howard's electorate in the leafy suburbs of Sydney. He should have been thinking about girls and cars, but instead became convinced he should die for a Muslim cause. And in the process he discovered he couldn't learn the Koran from boofy-headed blokes brandishing sticks, and he couldn't quite stomach extra-halal meat killed on an uncle's farm.Once Were Radicals is a hilarious, irreverent memoir of cultural confusions, community politics and outright mischief making - with a deeper message.
