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.

Chifley was not a good PM because of which brand of religion he followed Constance.
If that were the case, wouldn't we have a great PM in the current devout, ex-student priest Abbott?
But we don't.

Abbott may well have been good back in the Chifley era though, as he is certainly stuck in that time warp.....

Constance,

"Then why do you persistently defend something you are not enamoured with?"

Care to stump up with posts where I have "persistently defended" Islam?

I persistently defend moderation and tolerance.

I persistently argue against extreme views and actions.

I live outside the capital city of my state.

The religion of the Prime Minister has nothing to do with his/her political ability - and judging by Abbott's woeful performance, I wouldn't be pursuing that line of argument.

Suze,

Tell us what you know about Chifley and his Prime Ministership? Apart from your insular ingrained bigotry.

Poirot,

How vague can you get?

Can you admit you know NADA (and never wish to know) about Islam?

How anti intellectual can you get.

Suze,

And I suppose your same bigoted reasoning is why the Kennedy's were so popular?

Um, funny they're somehow considered US Royalty?
