Gays, Jews, apostates, adulterers, atheists, women who want an education - it really is a pity that these individuals don't easily fit into this particular male-run Utopia and 'therefore' will have to be ...... 'extracted'.

A big task for a religion of peace.

Well cohenite I guess on this one we're on the same side :)

You're quite right about one thing. In Australia the danger does not stem from Islam so much as from the appeasement of this vile belief system.

I am not a fan of any religion but, whatever may have been the case in the past, in 2013 Islam is the most aggressive, regressive, violent, bloodthirsty, dishonest and dangerous of the major religions. People who pretend that is not the case or who purport to see some sort of moral equivalence between contemporary Islam and contemporary Christianity are being willfully ignorant. Ditto people who conflate an antipathy towards this grotesque ideology with racism.

Provided they keep within the law should suffer no discrimination or sanction because of their beliefs; but they do not have the right to silence people who subject their obnoxious religion to critique, analysis, satire and scorn

..And before the little band on OLO become too hysterical, isn't that which is being described in posts as obnoxious and anti-social of Muslims, applicable also to the evangelic spread of Christianity through history? I believe what we witness as the violent march of Islam is of our own making, fueled by a vivid imagination and a paranoia born of isolationism so representative of the West; we are witness to an Islamic “Evangelism” promoted by Western violence against Muslims (coincidentally), who happen to hold the oil wells in their sovereign territories.

...But in addition to the above thinking, I am a great supporter of the “Muslim Morality”. I believe it is past-time for Christianity to follow-suit and clean up its own act. Should it start maybe, by eliminating pedophile rings from the Catholic Church for example; the list is endless?

...Hysterical “stamping” of Muslims has all the hallmarks of a very successful propaganda machine of Western Democracies who have now fallen victim to its success

What is of more concern than the usual clique of inept pro-Moslem propagandists are those non-Moslem "useful idiots" who, perhaps naively, equate criticism of Islamic ideology with racism.

Here are two recent examples-

Their "One Big Idea" is anti-racism, they really appear monumentally ignorant of Islam and its history. The fact that Wilders is a right wing populist does not necessarily invalidate his critique of Islam.

diver dan,
well stated !

When one witnesses the Australians holidaying on Bali one, if one has an ounce of pride will cringe with embarrassment at their behaviour. One could be forgiven to think that Australians are some of the most uncultured & silly people on the planet. The only fact that separates them from the religious morons is that they haven't as yet got the violent streak. The moron factor is already in place though.
