I repeatedly hear the same things over and over... and they are either "They're all the same" or "terrorism has no religion, I refuse to use my brain".
Muslims aren't all the same and to think they are shows a lack of critical thinking and that you too have fallen for the islamist ideology. The other side who refuses to use their brain for fear of being labeled are supposed to be the progressive ones... and yet, by ignoring the overwhelming facts they are regressing and incapable of seeing it.
We must discuss the problems that are fundamentally wrong with islam in an intelligent but also respectful way. People who have been following me for awhile will have seen my views change wildly from "you can't tar them all" to "lets just ban islam because I don't know another solution".... and then I came across Maajid Nawaz who has changed my thinking again and brought it back to a middle ground. Who knows, maybe I'll change my opinion again the more I read and learn, I can't see it turning into a 'mussie loving' view because I've learnt too much, I also cant see it going back to shoot, nuke and deport as, again I've learnt too much. The way I see it these days is that the future of Australia will go one of 3 ways..
1. If we ignore the islamist ideology and repeat prior mistakes history will dictate the future, we will end up just like every other area that hasn't challenged the islamist. Medina, Lebanon, Pakistan etc
2. If we give no room for the good muslims to move, they will turn into their own communities and towards the islamist ideology which will subjugate us all... regardless of how much we say we won't put up with it. Self preservation is a powerful thing and we'll tow the line when and if we need to. Pakistan, Palestine, Lebanon etc
Or 3. Islam reforms and we live together in peace. To do that, we need to give credit where credit is due. Give them an opportunity to critically examine their religion and reform it to be compatible with society, it took hundreds of years but Christianity eventually reformed... islam can too. We need to completely reject ideas that go against our values, but we also need to be decent people and give them reason and room to change.
Maajid is not the only one calling for change. There are a lot, but they get little support from the muslim community. I think that number can change the more we encourage and reject 7th century ways and the more muslims that come out of the closet to support them.
To those muslims calling for change, for equal rights for women... you have my full support. To those calling for a Caliphate, never.

Australians all let us rejoice, for we are young and free!
Australia Day.
When I was younger, Australia Day was always a day we celebrated living in the lucky country, it didn't matter what colour you were or which country you were from, if you were in Australia on Australia Day... you celebrated. You celebrated everything about the Australia you love.
Now that I'm older and particularly this year, Australia Day is becoming a day which is divisive. Now if you want to 'bogan' up on Australia Day and drape yourself in Red, White and Blue you're tarnished a racist. But it doesn't have to be like that, Australia Day is what YOU make it. If you choose to sit there whining about the problems in our history... well so be it. You are making the choice to sit there miserable while others are out enjoying this great land.
Hell, I'm white with British background and married to Bill who's Aboriginal. I enjoy learning about his culture, he enjoys mine... and together we enjoy ours. Ours that is Australian history. Neither of us were alive 200 years ago and Bill has never made me feel like any of it was my fault or done personally to him, sometimes we joke and he'll call me a convict and I'll call him a spear chucka.. we laugh and move on. THAT is the only way multiple cultures can coexist, it's also the Aussie way. When one repeatedly brings up the past and places the blame on your shoulders when you weren't even alive, it creates bad feelings on both sides, if Bill and I did that we would divorce pretty quickly.... so what makes it any different on a larger scale for the whole Australian community? Nothing, if that's what you choose.
Let it go. Celebrate AUSTRALIA. Celebrate in all its glory because together we share it's history. The good, the bad, the downright ugly.... but most importantly, the fantastic!
So what if Australia day began as a celebration of the founding of the colony of New South Wales, that isn't what we celebrate today. Today it's a celebration of Australia and its beauty.
This Australia Day, make the choice to enjoy all that makes us the best place on earth! Don't confuse culture with race. Celebrate the Aussie culture that we all live & love. We're all different races and we can celebrate one great culture!
Here is but a few reasons for us all to rejoice, not divide... and if you haven't tried some of these, it's about bloody time you did!
You know you’re Australian when…
1. You know all the words for Khe Sanh, Shuddupa Your Face, or Gangajang’s ‘This is Australia’! Then there’s The Angels' classic ‘Am I ever Gonna See Your Face Again’, many AC/DC tunes, the odd Rose Tattoo number and the happy-pop wonders of the HooDoo Gurus! .
2. You know that snow is a memorable and freakish occurrence. Sometimes it’s even fake, especially at Christmas time.
3. You roll your eyes when someone tells you the origins of the Australia Day celebrations, because that's not what it means to you.
4. You know that “stubbies” are either short shorts or small beer bottles. You know a “hoon” is an idiot who likes fast cars, someone in trouble is in “strife” and you’re liable to laugh whenever you hear of Americans “rooting” for something.
5. You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in -o: arvo, combo, garbo, kero, metho, milko, muso, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto, lezzo, homo, lebo, sudo, maco, abo. Don't be offended, it's not an attack.
6. You know that some people pronounce Australia “Straya” and some pronounce it with a plum in their mouth "Ozstraylia" (the plums usually come from SA) n that’s ok.
7. You know that there is a universal place called “Woop Woop” located in the middle of nowhere… no matter where you actually are.
8. You know that while we call our friends ‘mates’, we don’t use terms like ‘bewdy’ and ‘shrimp on the barbie’, contrary to popular belief.
9. You also know that kangaroos don’t live in most Aussie's backyards, but we will happily pretend they do just to feel superior to people from foreign countries who think they do.
10. It makes you happy when a world famous Hollywood celebrity is actually Australian… Mel Gibson, Geoffrey Rush, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Baz Luhrman, Olivia Newton-John, Naomi Watts, Heath Ledger, Guy Pierce, Eric Bana, Toni Collette. John Farnham ...
11. You know who Skippy is. (And its not the white Australian's)
12. You know that Sydney 2000 was one of our proudest moments in history. We rocked!
13. And our saddest was the Lindt Cafe Siege.
14. You know that Melbourne should be the capital, because Canberra is a hole.... even though it's home to the social justice warriors.
15. You know that Americans think we’re all Steve Irwin clones. And crikey, they couldn’t be more wrong.
16. You have, at some point in your life, slept with Aeroguard on in the summer. Maybe even as perfume.
17. You feel obliged to spread salty black stuff that looks like congealed motor oil on bread… and actually grow to like it. You’ve also squeezed Vegemite through Vita Wheats to make little Vegemite worms. And it pisses you off that it's now halal.
18. You believe that democracy means the freedom to draw caricatures of PM Turbull, mock others, shake it off and remain perfectly civil to each other.
19. You have the ability to compress several words into one – ie ‘g’day’ and ‘d’reckn?’. This allows more space for profanities.
20. You know that the barbeque is a political arena; the person holding the tongs is always the boss and usually a man. He turns the steak ... and the women do everything else. (And you chuck some pork on there as a shit stir to see if your muslim mate will eat it. He will, cause he's not a dick and it doesn't make you a racist)
21. You say ‘no worries’ quite often, whether you realise it or not.
22. You know what fairy bread tastes like, and you can’t imagine your childhood without it.
23. You know the first verse to the national anthem, but still not exactly sure what “girt” means. And you’re ok with that. (It means surrounded, mystery solved.)
24. You’ve drank your tea/coffee/milo through a Tim Tam.
25. You know that backyard cricket is a nice way to bond with family and the rubbish bin. And the ‘over the fence is 6 and out’ rule always applies.
26. You know that we are home to just about all of the world’s deadliest of animals. That’s why if anybody messes with us we’ll get some kangaroos on their arses. (Oh yeah, you know that an ass is a donkey and a backside is an arse!)
27. You know that in summer a seat belt buckle becomes a pretty good branding iron.
28. Sausage rolls, meat pies and fairy bread. Say no more.
29. You have a story that somehow involves an excessive consumption of booze… but you can’t remember all the details.
30. You know it's 'Macca's' not 'McDonald's', and you know it's OK to have beetroot and/or pineapple on a burger.
31. You know how to slip, slop, slap like it’s nobody’s business
.
32. You know that the value of a public holiday is measured in terms of alcohol.
33. You refer to someone you like as “an old bastard”, but call someone you don’t like “a bit of a bastard”.
34. You know Drop Bears exist. Positively.
36. You say “scarnon?” instead of “what’s going on?”
37. You understand that “chuck a u-ey” is actually a carefully executed driving manoeuvre.
38. A giraffe taught you about drugs.
And last, but not least...
39. You know Australia IS the best bloody place on earth. Bar none.
So this Australia Day, be like Bill and start rejoicing INSTEAD of pretending this is the worst place on earth, coz quite frankly you look like an dick when compared to other countries problems!
Aussie Aussie Aussie!

Who is teaching your child?
Khoder Soueid, is an islamist teacher at The Australian International Academy, Islamic school in Melbourne who, according to his social networking accounts is sympathetic to the Islamic State.
Soueid ran a Facebook page where he spoke highly of Australians who had travelled to fight with ISIS. The page, which has since been shut down, had more than 3000 followers, including a 17-year-old boy from Greenvale who pleaded guilty to planning to detonate a series of explosives in Melbourne on Mother's Day last year. According to the newspaper, the Australian Federal Police believe the 17-year-old used Soueid's Facebook page to get in touch with other people who had extremist views.
Soueid has been linked to ISIS recruiter Neil Prakash, who is suspected of helping to radicalise Harun Causevic and Sevdet Besim, the two 18-year-old’s arrested over the foiled Anzac Day terrorism plot. On April 18 2015, the day that Melbourne teens Sevdet Besim and Harun Causevic were arrested by police over the alleged Anzac Day plot, Mr Soueid tweeted: "Brothers were today arrested in #Melbourne over alleged 'ISIS-inspired' terrorist plot. Fear mongering at its best."
Prakash made contact with Soueid, who has a large following of young men in Melbourne, via Twitter so the pair could communicate, TWEET 'As Salaamu Alaykum akhee [Hello brother] please follow me,' Prakash wrote. Soueid ‘followed’ Prakash enabling the two to private message each other.
Khoder Soueid blamed Tony Abbott and The Australia Government on Twitter for the death of Numan Haider who was shot dead in 2014 after attacking two policemen with a knife. TWEET “Today Muslims are mourning the loss of our young brother Numan Haider, who was shot dead by police last night. The circumstances surrounding his death appear suspicious and will never be known. I hope Tony Abbott and the Australian government are pleased with the outcome of their fear-mongering.”
Mr Soueid has been a guest preacher at the Hume Islamic Youth Centre in Cooloroo, which has been attended by a number of young people who have travelled to Syria or Iraq to fight with Islamic State, including Jake Bilardi and Dawod Elmir.
Soueid has described one of Islamic State's most senior leaders, Sheikh Abu Malik al-Nashwan, as a "martyr". Nashwan was seen speaking in a video in which 28 Ethiopian Christians were executed. Nashwan has since been killed by a US led air strike in Homs, Syria
Soueid has tweeted against western air strikes in Syria and Iraq, describing the actions of the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS as “cowardly.”
Soueid is listed as a guest speaker at Gaza Fundraising Dinner held 19th November 2014, the funds from this fundraiser are going to Human Appeal. Human Appeal is a UK-registered charity accused by the CIA and FBI of being "a fundraiser for Hamas." The charity is a proscribed "Hamas-affiliated" organisation in Israel, and both the US Internal Revenue Service and State Department consider it to be a terror-funding entity. Human Appeal International has often promoted extremist preachers in Britain. In 2011, for instance, the charity hosted an event with Haitham al-Haddad, an Islamist preacher who regards Jews as "enemies of god, and the descendants of apes and pigs" and has stated that, "Allah's law [will] govern the whole earth, and for no other law to remain."
Am I the only person alarmed at the access this man has to vulnerable youth in the community? ASIO head, Duncan Lewis, warns that teenagers are becoming radicalised quickly, sometimes within weeks, and as he issued a "call to arms" for families and communities to provide the first line of defence against Islamic extremism. So why is Soueid still teaching? It appears counterproductive to me. Mr Lewis said the intelligence community was working very effectively with police but added that "you would not need to be the smartest guy in the world to think we can't get them all". No, but we can get the one’s we KNOW are posing a great risk to the community by encouraging a radical interpretation of islam.
You don’t need to be an ‘islamaphobe’ to see there is something wrong here.

"We're not in an Islamic country, we're in Australia"
Those that have been following me for a while know that I love a good debate, recently the popular defence for muslims is;
"We're not in an Islamic country, we're in Australia"
Is this a valid point? In my opinion, yes AND no, mainly no. On one hand we are in Australia and have better intelligence services than most, if not all, islamic countries. But, is our intelligence enough when we cannot address those causing the problem as that would be racial profiling such that those thinking with their bleeding hearts tying the hands of our authorities when they attempt an operation to keep us safe? For example, recently the Immigration department launched an operation to target those working in Melbourne illegally, Mel Gregson and her outragee's rallied at an hour’s notice because it wasn't fair to racially profile people *waaah*. How else could they target those working in the community illegally? These SJW's don't speak for the silent majority who are placing their faith in the police to keep us safe, though it certainly looks that way!
History shows us that non islamic countries are lost to muslims when we feel with our bleeding hearts instead of thinking with our brains. Time after time muslims take over a country with very little opposition from the population because you 'can't tar them all with the same brush'. The moderate muslims fall into line under islamist rule to protect themselves when the numbers start to grow. It happens every time. By the time the public realise what is happening, it's too late... and they STILL face opposition from those who can't see the forest for the trees.
For example, In response to the Cologne sexual assaults on NYE 2015, A German police officer named Bernd K told Bild Newspaper that law enforcement cannot efficiently tackle crime among refugees without being accused of excessive violence or racism, while many dangerous incidents are played down or kept secret to maintain desirable statistics. People do not know what happens in reality, even when it comes to violence or physical abuse, as the general picture looks softened, he continued. “One asylum seeker wanted to cut his fellow’s throat. But the crime scene report included only severe injuries rather than a murder attempt. This looks better for the statistics” Bernd K. explained. In his view, the crime rate among refugees far exceeds that of the local population: “For the last couple of months, I had only one criminal charge against a German, the rest of the suspects were refugees.” Referring to abuse and harassment against women, similar to those that took place in Cologne on New Year’s Eve, the officer said such cases are widespread in Bavaria as well. “At the train station, women are sexually harassed and offended on a regular basis. When we speak of an entry ban to an area, they would shout at us: ‘You are not my police. You are a racist’.” However, when a refugee needs to be controlled, the police cannot arrest him even for a while, the officer said, citing “superior orders” prescribing not to use coercive actions. “Our domestic rule is – better to let him run away".

There are hundreds of examples such as this one, you only need to look. They are even happening in Australia to a lesser extent, gang rapes and assaults by migrants aren't spoken about in the media for fear of being labelled a 'racist', you only hear about them by word of mouth. We already have high ranking police ordering our police not to do anything about migrant crimes. When is enough going to be enough? When it's too late? When it's you or your loved one targeted for being a white infidel?
How can we ever expect to live in peace with migrants and share our boundless plains if we treat them with reverse racism by expecting them to be incapable of adhering to the same community standards as the rest of the population?
So Islamic countries ARE relevant in this debate because they are examples of what will happen to us if we continue to ignore history, islamic doctrine and the situations in countries such as Germany. If we stop tying the hands of the authorities and let them do the job we put faith in them to do then maybe this argument will become relevant. But until then, it's perfectly reasonable to look to the situation in other countries and be afraid for the future of Australia.

Makassan Muslims and Aboriginals
Who's debated with someone and had the old "Muslims traded peacefully with Aboriginals" argument thrown at them?
If these twits bothered to take 5 minutes out of the day and research this they would find out, that isn't necessarily true.
Firstly, it was over 500 years ago and there are no documented accounts of the interactions, only modern day anthropologists INTERPRETATIONS of findings.
Monash University anthropologist, John Bradley (who I believe to be not only a muslim apologist, but an Aboriginal apologist also), comes to the conclusion that the contact between the two groups was a success: "They traded together. It was fair - there was no racial judgement, no race policy." Even into the early 21st century, the shared history between the two peoples is still celebrated by Aboriginal communities in northern Australia as a period of mutual trust and respect.
But others who have studied this period have come to a different conclusion regarding the relationship between the aboriginal people and the visiting trepangers. Anthropologist Ian McIntosh has said that the initial effects of contact with the Macassan fishermen resulted in "turmoil" with the extent of Islamic influence being noteworthy. In another paper McIntosh concludes, "strife, poverty and domination is a previously unrecorded legacy of contact between Aborigines and Indonesians." A report prepared by the History Department of the Australian National University says that the Macassans appear to have been welcomed initially, however relations deteriorated when, "aborigines began to feel they were being exploited leading to violence on both sides.
In 1916, two bronze cannons were found on a small island in Napier Broome Bay, on the northern coast of Western Australia. Scientists at the Western Australian Museum in Fremantle have made a detailed analysis and have determined that these weapons are swivel guns and almost certainly of late 18th century Makassan, rather than European, origin. Flinders account confirms that the Makassans he met were personally armed and their perahus carried small cannons.
In conclusion, one man ignores the evidence of the distrust and violence between the two groups (which makes him a shitty scientist, picking and choosing the bits that align with his bigotted views) and all our lovely lefties take only his account to paint the picture that Aboriginals prospered with the muslims while the Brits did horrible things (and they did).
But, let's not rewrite history to coordinate with our own views, let's actually look at ALL the facts. The evidence tells a different story than the apologists want you to know, you only need to look.

If these twits bothered to take 5 minutes out of the day and research this they would find out, that isn't necessarily true.
Firstly, it was over 500 years ago and there are no documented accounts of the interactions, only modern day anthropologists INTERPRETATIONS of findings.
Monash University anthropologist, John Bradley (who I believe to be not only a muslim apologist, but an Aboriginal apologist also), comes to the conclusion that the contact between the two groups was a success: "They traded together. It was fair - there was no racial judgement, no race policy." Even into the early 21st century, the shared history between the two peoples is still celebrated by Aboriginal communities in northern Australia as a period of mutual trust and respect.
But others who have studied this period have come to a different conclusion regarding the relationship between the aboriginal people and the visiting trepangers. Anthropologist Ian McIntosh has said that the initial effects of contact with the Macassan fishermen resulted in "turmoil" with the extent of Islamic influence being noteworthy. In another paper McIntosh concludes, "strife, poverty and domination is a previously unrecorded legacy of contact between Aborigines and Indonesians." A report prepared by the History Department of the Australian National University says that the Macassans appear to have been welcomed initially, however relations deteriorated when, "aborigines began to feel they were being exploited leading to violence on both sides.

#youaintnomuslimbruv
So.... the UK bleeding hearts have come up with yet another hashtag to fight terrorism with their naive assumptions that islamic terror has nothing to do with #islam.
The latest one is #youaintnomuslimbruv come up with when footage of a bystander called out "you aint no muslim bruv" to Muhaydin Mire while he went on a terrorist rampage through a London tube train station. The person who turned this into yet another hashtag fest clearly doesn't understand islamic scripture or history and instead listens to the bullshit rhetoric our appeasing leaders and media are spewing trying to keep calm in the community. These hashtags are designed to support the moderate muslims in the community, though by default they forget the victims. The #bleedinghearts have fallen all over each other to convince themselves that islam is peace when they clearly have NO IDEA whether it is or isn't.
Firstly, Muhaydin Mire attempted to behead a 56 year old man, which fits in perfectly with islamic doctrine and what we see happening in the world not only today, but throughout history also. Instructions regarding decapitation can be found in both the Quran, the Hadith as well as the Siras. The Quran itself mentions decapitation twice, including a verse concerning fighting unbelievers, in which it implores Muslims to "strike off their heads until you have crushed them completely; then bind the prisoners tightly." Much of the justification for beheading however, comes from the Siras and Hadiths rather than the Quran itself. The Siras, the number of traditional biographies of Muhammad, speak of decapitation on numerous occasions, several of which portray beheadings ordered directly by Muhammad himself.
He called out "this is for Syria". Islamic doctrine allows war in self-defence (Qur'an 22:39), to defend Islam (rather than to spread it), to protect those who have been removed from their homes by force because they are Muslims (Qur'an 22:40), and to protect the innocent who are being oppressed (Qur'an 4:75). This man clearly thinks he was defending Syrians who have been removed from their homes due to the war on ISIS. Muslims worldwide believe the war on terror is actually a war on muslims. Do some research on why they turn to islamism and jihadism, it becomes clear very quickly.
Birth place - Somalia. 99.8% islamic country.
Muslim? Damn good chance of it.
Please stop making up bullshit hashtags and CONFRONT THE DAMN PROBLEM!

Open letter to Mel Gregson, No Room for Racism
Ms Gregson,
I'm writing this letter for a couple of reasons, but mainly as a response to some statements you have made to justify why you created No Room for Racism.
Firstly, the definition of Hypocrite - 'A person who feigns a desirable or publicly approved attitude, though when on closer inspection whose private life, opinions, statements or actions fail to justify his or her public statements'. Why is this relevant? Well, because I think you are a hypocrite. Let me explain why.
Quote "I respect freedom of speech but, people need to be held accountable."
First of all, when someone says they respect freedom of speech "BUT".... it means they don't respect freedom of speech. It's like saying "I'm not racist but" and then saying something racist... The "but" is put there to counter any objections. Using the word "but" in this circumstance is to introduce a phrase which contrasts what has already been mentioned. Look up the definition of 'but' if you're unsure of its use in this situation.
Secondly, actions speak louder than words. In this case, your actions have demonstrated, that what you really mean is you only respect speech you agree with. I'd like to take this opportunity to point you to article 19 of the UN declaration of Human Rights, which states; 'Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression. This right includes the freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.'
I'm not sure you understand the concept when it's someone with a differing opinion, your actions certainly indicate as much. Freedom of speech means no one has the right to forcefully shut down those with an opposing view. It means no one can pick and choose who they allow to speak. It means you can openly state your opinion without the fear of violence or stereotypical labels. It means you can disagree, but you cannot forcefully stop them from voicing their opinion REGARDLESS of your thoughts on the matter. Freedom of speech needs protecting, it needs to be something we as free people hold dear. If we didn't have freedom here, you wouldn't be able to make the public spectacle of yourself you have become known for whenever something causes your outrage barometer to go off the chart. Instead of being arrested at these protests you organise, you would simply disappear, never to be seen again. That is how outspoken misfits are dealt with in countries where freedom of speech and critical thinking is unacceptable. Is that really what you want for Australia?
Debate and freedom of speech is what makes our country one of the greatest to live in, why people want to come here fleeing awful circumstances, why they put their children in rickety boats and how we have progressed as a multicultural nation. But here are you and your social justice nutjob’s, shutting it down by force, under the guise of tolerance. Do you really want our freedoms eroded because someone disagrees?! #shame
This crap that people need to be held accountable for what they say, how on earth are you holding them accountable? By blocking their way and using violence to stop them? Wouldn't it be more progressive and tolerant, not to mention less violent to hold them accountable by holding a civilised demonstration where you peacefully refute what Reclaim are saying? Stereotyping and labelling your opposition is not a credible argument. Using racist, bigot or islamophobe doesn't mean you win, it means you really have no idea on the topic and have needed to resort to shitty labels to shut down your opposition.
No, you don't respect freedom of speech and you certainly aren't holding anyone accountable. Who are you to say who can and cannot utilise their right to freedom of speech? Who are you to think you are the only one allowed to organise rallies on the streets? Who are you to accuse those with a different viewpoint and who have actually done a lot of research or survived an islamic takeover of lying? #narcissist
Another quote "When ideas turn into a violent movement on the streets we need to pay closer attention"
Sounds pretty reasonable on the surface and I agree, but when I have a look at your Facebook page, I find it is full of posts such as "we need to stop Reclaim Australia" and encouragement for people to do whatever they can, so they CAN'T hold their rally. Again, actions speak louder than words and in this case, we see clear footage of you with your rag tag mob creating human blockades at the entrances to Reclaim’s event, shoving people, burning flags and chanting bullshit slogans. That behaviour intentionally incites anger and subsequently violence, but that's what you had in mind. You created a violent movement on the streets and you need to own it. #hypocrite
Funnily enough, I didn't see you protesting when muslims in Sydney took over the streets in 2012 because of a You Tube video that insulted their warlord prophet. That protest was full of violence, they knocked a police member unconscious and scared the crap out of the community in the process. Why were you silent about that violent movement on the street? Do you think muslims have a right to freedom of speech, but their opposition doesn't? Or are you scared to challenge them for fear of being labelled an intolerant islamophobe? How does this even make sense to you? It doesn't make sense and you clearly haven't stopped to think about any of this. You said you are stopping a violent movement when what you did is create a violent situation where members of the community were hurt. Not exactly progressive, tolerant behaviour Mel.
Now, you made mention of the police allowing Neo Nazis to protest in the streets, this sentence alone shows that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I'll bring you up to speed, Islamic doctrine instructs muslims to kill all Jews. Only then will their judgement day arrive. KILL ALL JEWS, Just like Hitler and his army of Neo Nazis. Ask a Mujahedeen if you don't believe me, that doesn't mean that all muslims want to kill Jews, but it does show that your interpretation of a Nazi is downright ridiculous. Your ignorance and stupid labels astound me. I could go on all day about the atrocities Muslim extremists have committed against Jews, but I'll leave it there and trust that before opening your mouth on Neo Nazis, you'll actually educate yourself on the topic. #knowyourhistory
The name of your group alone is hypocritical, it becomes clear when watching the footage of the aboriginal man ranting about how he doesn't want to be part of a white Australia constitution. Aside from being completely off topic, I found this highly offensive as it suggests to anyone who isn't aboriginal, that this country isn’t their home and they don't belong here. Ironically others had signs that say "refugees are welcome here". What this rant suggests is that Australia belongs to the Aboriginals and immigrants aren’t welcome, nor do they get the right to a voice. Or is it only white people who don't get the right to a voice? Your rally against racism doesn't make sense, in fact, this is racism at its finest. This man excluded the ethnic minorities we have welcomed here which is in direct contradiction of what your rally against racism is all about! But this is how you managed to get the numbers to block your opposition. By exploiting minorities. How can you even think you have a credible argument when your rally against racism is, in fact, rife with racism? #ludicrous
Another of your supporters was a female muslim doctor saying that you can't blame cultural problems on islam, but in this case you can. I'll assume you haven't done a great deal of reading the koran so I'll give you a brief rundown. In islamic doctrine it's perfectly acceptable to beat a woman, to lock her in the house until she dies, to stone her if she commits the grave sin of being raped. No one is saying violence against women is purely an islamic problem, what we are saying is that according to islam it’s perfectly acceptable and we are outraged about the misogynistic teachings. Why the hell aren't you?
Ironically, Socialist Alliance which you are a member of, have the audacity to stage protests on violence towards women but won't talk about the muslim women being beaten, raped or killed in a culture that dictates this treatment. Isn't that a little racist oh femnazis? If it's a white Australian woman we'll create events like Reclaim the Night but if it's a muslim woman..... Silence. #racist
In contrast to your demonstrators, the overwhelming majority of Reclaimer's were regular Mums and Dads who are concerned about the rise in islamic violence in Australia, I dare say there are muslims afraid of just that too, are they irrelevant in your stand against racism? Reclaim began from a woman who narrowly escaped being in the Lindt Cafe when an islamic nutjob took those poor people hostage and created our first real act of islamic terror. Can you imagine just for a second how she must have felt, knowing that purely by chance she wasn't in there with her young daughter? Had you bothered to listen for even a minute after hearing the word 'muslim' you would have stopped yourself from becoming the pest you are. Until recently, no one even knew who started the Reclaim movement, for all you knew it could have been a concerned muslim not wanting to see the islamic terrorism they'd successfully fled, reach our shore. #ignoranceisachoice
How on earth can you think if we don't oppose the call for radical islam to dominate us that the radicals won't be successful? Take a look around the world, islam has been very successful in conquering community after community, country after country, by scaring the shit out of people with violence should anyone dare to criticise it. And you're opposed to violence? But here you are silent on this topic.
I doubt you've done any research whatsoever, I'd go as far as to say you are assuming islam is a religion of peace, when you really have no idea whether it is or isn’t. Using I win words such as racist, bigot and islamophobe will only get you so far in this debate. Debate is the exact thing that needs to happen on this topic, you can't shut down those you disagree with saying things such as 'I respect freedom of speech but' and some crap about violent movements and then acting in a way that completely contradicts everything you've said.
Ms Gregson, I think you should sit back and have a good hard look at yourself and work out what it is that you and your goons are actually counter rallying, because at the moment your outrage is clouding your judgement.
For everyone else, I've complied a short video for your amusement. I give you Mel’s public antics.
