Have the ‘terrorists’ got what they want? : Comments

By Melati Lum, published 4/3/2010

One thing terrorists have achieved hands down is they have made it harder to be freely Muslim in today’s world.

I do feel for you Melati Lum. In all the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Muslim women have probably worn most of the flack.

For the murderous activities of a few mainly male Muslims, their women have had to suffer enormously. But they aren't alone in this situation.

Leigh wondered whether the author knew of any other terrorist threats to Australia than Muslims.

The threat of us being taken over by the 'violent' Germans or Japanese during the world wars was considered terrible at the time.

America committed one of the worst atrocities of all time by dropping the atom bombs onto Japan killing hundreds of thousands of people.

Germany killed millions of Jews.

What about the paranoia re Communism after WW11?

How about when the Russians were considering dropping atom bombs onto Western cities during the Cold War?

What about the Ireland/England, Catholic/Protestant bombings and killings through the years (and again recently)?

Weren't all these guys terrorists? But they weren't Muslims.

The Muslims certainly aren't alone in having terrorists amongst them.

Dear Jon J,
As you have rightly said it is all about inheritance. Muslums choose to believe that they inherit the Abramic promise through his firstborn Ishmael (Gods promise to his mother Hagar was that she would have a son who she would name Ishmael and that he would be a wild man, and his hand would be against all men, and all would be against him. and he would live in the presence of all his brothers.) The Jews believe that they inherit the promise through Isaac, the son of Abraham's wife Sarah.
"Christians" believe that they inherit the promise through Jesus who is a decendant of Abraham. The test you have to prove Gods word is found in Malachi chapter 3 verse 10. It is the only way I have found to prove God. As Jesus taught, you do not inherit Gods kingdom from your earthly father "you must be born again, impossible for man but possible with God". So do we inherit the promise mans way i.e through trouble, strife, survival of the fittest, or Gods way through faith in Jesus finished work on the cross. Ps Jesus said you would know his diciples by their love for one another for a good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree produces bad fruit. (The promise is that man would inherit Gods kingdom, the world through Gods way, righteousness not mans way,through the law.)
I was watching C Pac yesterday and I watched Noel Pearson and as I respect his opinion I chose to listen and learn. His paradyme has shifted from the knowledge of good and evil towards life. A very informative talk.

ymeiosis,

I'm interested to know which majority Moslem country you lived in,you mentioned 'discriminative government policies',what were they?

Moslems in Australia don't suffer anything like the persecution that, Christians for example, are subjected to in Pakistan,Egypt and Turkey.Where are the churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia or Hindu temples?
Of course there are millions of decent peaceful Moslems,however that's irrelevant, the threat to our civilisation is from the ideology of Islam itself,which from its inception has been expansionist,anti-semitic, intolerant and extremely destructive.The state of Moslem societies before Western contact is proof of that. Few people had any illusions as to menace of Communism,but because Islamic totalitarianism is disguised as a 'religion' we are expected to regard it as harmless,it's in fact very dangerous.
So,I'll ask you to show me a tolerant,liberal democratic majority Moslem nation-just one.
I don't support the invasion of Moslem nations or discrimination against Moslems as long as they obey the laws of the secular state,the problem is some don't, and they have a different agenda.

Any one who has any doubts about what the muslims are up to should watch this program from the UK regarding whats going on under the covers at the East London Mosque.

These people are pure evil

It would be difficult for a Muslim living in any Western democracy to integrate into communities who are still living with the aftermath of 9/11. This suspicion was experienced by German and Japanese citizens living in Western nations before, during and after WWII.

From a practical point of view airport security would naturally be interested in any place of concealment for prohibited items whether it be hidden in a hijab, a suitcase or an arm sling. While Muslims are committing terrorist acts at this time in history it is only natural that Muslims might invite further scrutiny at an airport.

This is not the same as thinking that every Muslim is a terrorist just that Muslims are in the higher risk group. For peace loving Muslims who make up the majority I can understand how this would be a physical and mental burden.
