It is Islam, not 'Islamism' : Comments

By Babette Francis, published 12/1/2015

Politicians and some Church leaders have mouthed platitudes about Islam being a religion of peace and portraying those who murder in its name as betraying the ideals of Islam.

Dear Craig,

The following link gives another perspective
to this issue and explains in greater detail
the reasons for why Australians are being
pushed in the direction that they are by both
the current government and the Murdoch media
that supports it:

That is why independent media outlets like New Matilda
are worthy of our support - to give us the much needed
different perspective to the strident narrow views expressed
in the jungle of the internet and News Limited - where the
news is very limited.

"Herald-Sun," Andrew Bolt, Alan Jones, Miranda Devine,
Babette Francis, Janet Albrechtensen, Piers Akerman,
et al, that you support, parrot?

Dear Constance,

I apologise for inferring you were stupid for posting a hoax. I would normally have pointed out the error and perhaps gave a little tweek of the nose then moved on.

You certainly fling the insults around and so it might be said if you live by the sword...

However Section 18c allows for good faith as a defense so I should be prepared to accept it in this case.

But you are continuing to trot out links to false beatups. You will note on your very first link in your latest post (I haven't bothered to go on to the others) there is this qualification underneath the shattered photo of the Virgin Mary;

“Although this image appears in the report of the Italian news site Alerta Digital it is not of the Virgin Mary statue that was recently shattered and urinated on and is used in simulation.”

It was not there originally ( and still is not on the source site ) http://www.alertadigital.com/2015/01/14/perugia-cinco-inmigrantes-destruyen-una-imagen-de-la-virgen-maria-y-orinan-sobre-los-restos/ . In fact that report directly refers to the photo.

That statue was actually destroyed during the 2011 'Occupy Wall Street' inspired riots in Rome.

Once these guys pointed out the hoax your Raymond Ibrahim altered his page but didn't back away from the story.

The first two links of yours I have checked have been hoaxes. I really don't want be verifying each and every one of them therefore might I suggest a plan. You post links as you see fit because I understand you need them to stoke your anger and indignation and perhaps for the rest of us our default position with be that they are probably crap, certainly untruthful, and often outright hoaxes, but you believe in each and every one of them. If on the odd chance one comes along that you feel you have really solid confidence in then flag it as such and we can look at it.

Does this sound fair?

SteeleRedux,

Why should I take any notice of a Leftist deviant like yourself who want to destroy peaceful societies? Who go out of there way to falsify and spread propaganda using Marxist or regressive sites in the meantime when they never have any sane arguments on offer.

You've never commented or opined any analysis on any of the historical facts and people who have had strong opinions on Islam throughout the ages. But only Leonard Cohen who of course has nothing to do with Islam.

Duh!

Constance,

"Why should I take any notice of a Leftist deviant like yourself who want to destroy peaceful societies?..."

SteeleRedux - you can't have a reasonable debate with that sort of hysterical belligerence.

One gets weary of wiping the foaming spittle off the screen.
