Asylum seekers, Waleed Aly and the folly of good intentions : Comments

By John Slater, published 12/2/2016

The grand folly of this approach is that while it’s easy to paint offshore processing as callous and cold-hearted, we can’t pretend that this issue exists in a vacuum.

Waleed Aly is an apologist for terrorists, and a liar:
“Nigeria’s Boko Haram group last month kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls from a boarding school and its leader announced they were “slaves” he would sell. Two are already said to be dead.
As so often when Muslim terrorists strike, Aly was brought on by Channel Ten’s The Project to explain away our fears as “an expert in terrorism”.
“So who is this group exactly?” he was asked.
Not once in his answer did “Muslim” or “Islamic” pass Aly’s lips.
“They are a really, really hard group to define “

Could Aly be more disingenuous?

Leo, it is all part of the plan laid out in the Koran.

The Catch 22 is that you can't criticise Islam because the criticism however well founded will turn moderate Muslims into Jihadists.

Heh, heh, good one, Ali.

Then again, just being Muslim is a Catch 22, right?

Waleed Aly is a smart guy, he has gauged his rhetoric to the tune that the ABC and Fairfax drums out.

What he is saying is neither new nor ground breaking, he is telling the coterie of people that determine his future exactly what they want to hear.

Waleed is an empty vessel echoing his master's voice.

I have one question for Aly, or any other muslim - is the Koran right or wrong? He will never answer this, nor will our media ever ask. Of coarse he believes in the Koran and other islamic writings - which command Muslims to kill, rape, treat as sub human any who do not believe - anyone half educated in Islam knows this - so WHY is he allowed to get away with speaking with a forked tongue? WHY are the media hell bent supporting islams destruction of our way of life?

Good article, John.

The Queensland hospital's decision to not send a recovered baby back to Nauru is now sending a signal to refugee claimants on the island that they can purposely injure their children and have an expectation the children will be sent to the same hospital and retained there until they are found a 'safe' home (presumably on the Australian mainland) to be returned to.
