Xenophobia is not the answer : Comments

By Dilan Thampapillai, published 22/7/2016

Yet, it beggars belief that anybody would ascribe the actions of radical terrorists to every Muslim.

This article was not meant for us Australians. It was meant for the author's coterie of mates so he can skite at what a hero he is. Why would he care about ignorant, unwashed white people?
For goodness sake OLO's do not respond in kind because that is a criminal offence. The coppers will be onto you like blowflies on horse dung lol!
This sort of racist insult is allowed only if you are not white.
Why not go to Turkey Dillian? You will fit right in there. Erdogan is about to turn a democratic society into an islamic state. Sharia law persecution and murder await non-muslims. Have a think about this Dillian and see whether stopping muslims would be such a bad idea. Australia thinks differently to you.

Cobberthehound (Friday),

You quote: '@OzSpen
Exodus:23:24
Number 16:1-35
2 John:10

and there is lots more, if you want to play my holly book is dumber then yours then Christians and Muslims will be playing a long time. Particularly if you take it seriously'.

Anyone can cherry-pick verses and the first 2 you have given from Exodus and Numbers (by the way, you couldn't even name it correctly as Numbers) are examples of God's judgment. There is more of that to come in the final judgment. See Matthew 25:31-46. You obviously don't like the idea of God's judgment against the ungodly, but honesty with the biblical text requires acknowledgement of it.

As for 2 John 10, 'If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting'. You have created a straw man fallacy of Christianity. The verse from 2 John is a country mile from the message of the Quran verses I quoted that promote the extermination of unbelievers in Islam.

It's time that you got honest with dealing accurately with the content of what I wrote in my comment.

Graham we really do need a few less articles by special, & vested interest people, with funny names.

I fear too many of them could ultimately make me as Xenophobic, as they are.

One can only take so much lecturing by blow ins, before one becomes less tolerant. Hell we could become almost as bad as they are.

A well constructed article Dilan, but I don't feel as despondent as you do about the levels of xenophobia in Australian society. You must remember that only 500,000 Australians voted for Hanson's mad party, out of so many millions of other voters who did not.

"Nobody is denying that there is a problem with radical Islam. Nobody is unconcerned by ISIS. Every decent person is immensely saddened by what happened in Nice.
Yet, it beggars belief that anybody would ascribe the actions of radical terrorists to every Muslim. Leaving aside the fact that there are major cultural differences between Muslim societies, it is simply not tenable to think that each member of the Muslim faith is a threat. The actions of a few do not define 1.6 billion people."

Absolutely true! I felt these very wise and true words were worth repeating on what is a largely a forum populated by far right xenophobes. However, no one can ever change their minds Dilan, although I do occasionally get a laugh reading their childishly scared rantings about those nasty terrorists supposedly lurking around every corner of our country...

This is a highly insulting and disrespectful article.

It is noticed that no apology has been issued by the author.

There appears to be disagreement among some Muslims as to who should stay in Australia, and who should go.

In an article by Br. Amir Abdullah, he describes Muslims as being 'fresh clear spring water', while non-Muslims living in Australia are 'water brought up from the bottom of a suburban sewer'

http://www.missionislam.com/knowledge/preserveident.htm

In that article, Br. Amir Abdullah suggests Muslims leave Australia (or they could be corrupted and made impure by the 'suburban sewer' of non-Muslims).

While in this article, Dilan Thampapillai suggests that non-Muslims leave Australia, and Muslims remain behind in Australia.

This matter of who should stay and who should go will have to be sorted out between Muslims shortly.

Of course, most Muslim gulf countries are not a signatory to the UN Refugee Convention, and these countries take in few or no refugees, whether they are Muslim refugees or not.

Countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait do allow in non-Muslims as non-permanent residents, although no churches or non-Muslim religious structures can be built, and any non-Muslim religions services must be held in private homes only, and cannot be seen by Muslims.

And ironically, Saudi Arabia has recently finished building a 600 mile long wall, to keep out Muslims.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/saudiarabia/11344116/Revealed-Saudi-Arabias-Great-Wall-to-keep-out-Isil.html

Around 23 Muslim countries regard apostasy (leaving Islam) as a criminal offense, and the punishments can include a jail term, whipping and execution.

But all this is rarely mentioned or complained about by Muslims in Australia, and instead, people such as the author want to spend their time insulting members of the Australian public.

Because of this article, the author can now be assured that the ONE NATION political party has at least one more vote in the next federal election, and in next QLD state election.
