There is no compromise with islam; it's not as if islam is shy about declaring its intentions or values:

The real issue is the currency given to islam in the West by a compliant MSM and craven politicians.

Cohenite,
Hey, I just had a thought, do you think that in the minds of some of these "craven" politicians there's the idea that Islam could be a sort of stabilising factor for the West if they can absorb it into the present Liberal Capitalist system? Think about it, a controlled Islam provides a set of balances against both radical Left and Right wing tendencies, much as the religious Christian right does in some countries.

Hi again Cohenite,

On the topic of vilification, did you see this earlier today?

You will recognise much of the commentary from our chats here earlier. And several of the links as yours.

Cheers, AA

This thread is proof that no amount of evidence will make many people see.

Violence for any reason, at any level must be deplored.
The fact that Australia is a relatively peaceful and civilised country is something we should all take pride in, and not take for granted.
Since we are a -nominally- Christian country, accepting Sharia law is absurd. If we are to incorporate Religious law (hundreds of years out of date) into our courts, why not Christian Law?
Let's bring back stoning women for adultery, horse whipping anyone who works on the Sabbath, killing witches, killing or beating slaves who are insufficiently respectful...
Why do we need to import religious absurdities when we have more than enough of our own?
Obviously, if we cherry pick vigorously enough, there are pearls of wisdom in every ancient text.
I have the greatest respect for the Islamic banking system, for instance.
But to accept these texts in toto as the inviolable word of God...?
This is to suggest that Human experience, learning and history are worthless.

Alan, glad to be of help; now, do you feel better, having found a kindred editor at Mr Wood's place? Do you think Bolt's claim that some 'white' aboriginals, apart from the litigants in Eatock, have deliberately chosen aboriginal status for benefit?

Your view about Bolt is well known; however, I am not sure how you are transferring that view to islam and its claims that it has been offended? Are you saying there are factual errors in the commentary about islam and that islam would have an action under the RDA against its 'insulters'?
