...* By way of contrast, a statement released on 10 March 2017 by the Australian National Council of Imans making clear in stern terms that homosexuality is a forbidden action and is a major sin has attracted almost, no mass media attention...*

Exactly: that is reason enough to encourage higher Muslim immigration into Australia.
This can be achieved with a more friendly approach to Indonesia and freer restrictions on Visa applications for Indonesians.

Excellent article, Laurence Maher.

Multiculturalism has become a state sanctioned ideology which under 18C legislation is now beyond criticism. It is interesting to speculate how any western democracy could be hoodwinked by their own political class to accept what resembles a state religion that is beyond criticism.

For all of you left wing social justice warrior types who have been brainwashed into thinking that advocating and supporting open borders and multiculturalism is what "intelligent" people do, just think about what jest happens to be a self evident truth.

The entire history of western enlightenment rested upon this truth. Intelligent people in the west have always believed that the insistence that a subject never be discussed, is proof that it is intellectually bankrupt.

How is it that you consider yourself intelligent, when you are supporting the tactics of the Holy Roman Church of 1600, which insisted that Earth was the centre of the universe, the Earth was flat, the sun was not a star, and that anyone who opposed that holy writ should be shown the instruments of torture to shut them up?

the Holy Roman Church of 1600, which insisted that Earth was the centre of the universe,
LEGO,
Now, 400 years later it's Academia that insists they're the centre of the universe & the earth can cope with many more humans.

Australian Democracy , huh? "Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith". Our head of the democratic state was forbidden to marry a Catholic and the Liberals are as faithful as any Muslim: " Reaffirming the reliance on Divine Providence proclaimed by our forefathers in the Preamble to the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, 1900 —
'Whereas the people .. . humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God, have agreed to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the Crown ... " the Liberal Party of Australia presents this Platform as a programme for a people whose highest ideals are inspired by a belief in God."

The rule of Law is submission to the will of God , his chosen anointed monarch and the divine Liberal hierarchy so please donate liberally now and for evermore , your sins are forgiven .

Notwithstanding the atrocities of some Muslim sects that force themselves on everyone around them, simply because they can, the Western "rule of law" cult does exactly the same and they don't even require a divine revelation to justify it - they've got the guns, which for them is sufficient.

The author, being a barrister, lives off the spoils of their violence.

Yuyutsu,
The rule of law is not a cult; it's the best way we have of preventing violence.
