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.

But we so enamoured with Saudi Arabia and the US that we are prepared to let this sort of thing go unchallenged;

“On November 15, a female staff member at the InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort reported the assault to her managers. At the time, the resort was hosting the Saudi Arabian delegation, while the G20 Summit was being held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. The woman withdrew her complaint within hours of police launching an investigation. However, the man in question was "swiftly removed" from the hotel and escorted directly to the Brisbane International Airport by police and a Saudi Arabian consulate representative. The ABC has asked the Saudi Arabian embassy for information about the man's welfare but is still awaiting a response. Police can still investigate matters, even if a complaint has been withdrawn, but authorities are no longer looking into the alleged assault.”

Look I understand there are heaps of beheadings type links coming down your facebook feed through which they have been propagated to a receptive audience, but the reason you are here is have your ideas and beliefs tested otherwise why would you bother.

I understand you are angry and wanting to do something. Could I invite you to do as I have and voice your concern to Prime Minister Abbott's and Julie Bishop's offices, not only about how the incident in Queensland was handled but the nature of our continued support of a nation where the obscenity of public beheadings occur and who is demostrably the greatest funder of Islamic terrorism in the world.

Saudi Arabia provided the funds and the US provided the weapons and know-how to the Taliban becoming allies against their common enemy, the Commies (like yourself) in Afghanistan. Pakistan provided training camps and operations bases for the Mujahidin in the early 1980s, then for the Taliban. The Saudies were extremely hesitant in allowing the US into their country of horror but because of Sadam and Iraqi aggression on the border, they acceded. And ended up killing American soldiers by the so called Islamic religious anyway in a few countries where they had bases.

Yet, the Commies are dumb enough to now be supporting Islam. How ironic! And there you have Charlie Hebdo. What a bunch of clueless idiots.

But then all extremists think like that, not understanding subtleties. And they keep on portraying themselves as morally superior.

And what is the reason you are here? Big deal if Putin’s speech is a hoax. It would be what any sane person would wish their own leaders would do, who we’d hope would have real guts.

Why do you have such an axe to grind against Christianity when it has given you so much freedom? Why would you insanely prefer totalitarianism?

Don't let egoistic equivocation get in the way of your recognition of the abhorrence of human behaviours in times of war and conquests of the past, as being savage, unprincipled crime.

Just because exaggerated claims of brutality by Christians spew forth from your keyboard, let's all consider evil committed in the name of "allah", to be civilized and acceptable. Oh yeh.

So how do you feel in complying with the destruction of Western Christian civilisation, Hindu Civilisation, Buddhist Civilisation and the rest of the Non Muslim world?

Ah, that's more like it! Nothing like a good old-fashioned hysterical rant to brighten up the morning.

I've been following this thread, increasingly half-heartedly, hoping that it will evolve into a discussion of Islamic supremacism and the worldwide surrender to it. But alas it remains a discussion by posters not of the issues but of each other. I have inserted a comment (under my proper name) on the issue in an article in "Skeptic Lawyer" at http://skepticlawyer.com.au/2015/01/18/good-appeasement-and-bad-appeasement/ . Until it is confronted, Islam will become the norm in society after society not through its own militancy but through the betrayal of Enlightenment values by a stubborn dhimmitude at all levels right to the very top such as the leadership of most civilised nations including Australia.

I hesitate to cite a source that is iteslf riddled with supremacism (ethnic in its case) but the most devastating weapons against self-referenced claims of God-given supremacy often do emanate from rival supremacists. The source is the highly informative Zionist site Middle East Forum and a particular article that I commend is at http://www.meforum.org/4993/does-europe-have-no-go-zones. I wonder where Lakemba fits in?
