Xenophobia is not the answer : Comments

By Dilan Thampapillai, published 22/7/2016

Yet, it beggars belief that anybody would ascribe the actions of radical terrorists to every Muslim.

Ha! Hilarious! The author chastises people for their concerns over Muslim immigrants then wonders if Hanson's followers, presumably all 400,000 of them might be better off leaving the country.

Dilan, if neo-Nazis killed over 200 people in Bali, 3000 people in New York, 84 people in Nice, 49 in Orlando, 35 in Brussels, 150 in Paris, 166 in Mumbai, 191 in Madrid, 14 in San Bernadino, plus many, many other murderous attacks all around the world, you can bet that ALL Nazis would be condemned to hell and back.

Especially if it could be displayed that Mein Kampf had 150 passages in it ordering Nazis to "Kill the people who do not have blue eyes and blond hair, wherever you find them." "Lay ambushes for them." "Strike terror into their hearts." 'Cut off their fingers." Strike off their heads." Cut off an arm and a leg from opposite sides of the body." 'Take their women for sex slaves."

And especially, if Mein Kampf declared that the greatest Nazis were those who got themselves killed fighting for Nazism, and the "moderate" Nazis never refuted that.

Of course, the "moderate" Nazis could claim that they should not be blamed for the Nazi violence, if they proposed that all the terrorism was caused by a tiny fringe called "Nazi-ists", who the "moderate" Nazis condemned, and whom they considered to be a disgrace to Nazism. And some people might even believe them, provided that the "moderate" Nazi leaders unequivocally condemned the actions of the "Naz-ists" without trying to blame the victims of Nazi violence. And they must immediately do it every time another 'Naz-ist" massacre occurred.

And they should do one other thing, Dilan. They should unreservedly condemn those passages in Mein Kampf which orders Nazis to attack, mutilate, and rape non Nazis. And if they can't do it, or they won't do it, because these passages are the spoken word of the beloved Fuhrer which can never be contradicted, then Dilan, then they are just as guilty as the "Nazi-ist" terrorists they pretend they don't support.

When "moderate Muslim" Waleed Ali and yourself condemns all of those passages in the Koran that are totally offensive, and which instruct Muslims to kill non Muslims, I might start to take you and Waleed seriously.

What this author has written is just rubbish.

I fully support Pauline's and Sonya's view that muslim immigration should be stopped. I also desire a 'net zero' policy for immigration generally, including refugee entry.

My views were not formed by xenophobia or racism, but by taking a hard look at what can be done to promote community cohesiveness and lower the risk of terrorist attack. If 15-25% of muslims hold views that do not respect our laws and society norms, it is quite reasonable to expect that the more muslims there are in our country the greater the risk of an attack and less community cohesiveness.

Now if anyone can put forward another means of achieving greater safety I would like to hear it.

No pro muslim advocate has yet put forward any practical suggestion.

Shadow Minister,
You said. "Sonia said she felt unsafe, and telling Australians that they are racist for feeling unsafe is exactly the reason that Pauline Hanson did so well".

I submit the reason is a little more than that. What about the fact that neither major party will talk about or debate immigration policy at all? People are concerned about multiculturalism and related things like crime rates by refugees in Melbourne, and so on. But governments, both state and federal simply ignore the issues.

Politicians need to realize that these issues are important to the general public and the matters need to be addressed. Tell your political mates.

This article is hysterical, name calling, irrational, rubbish.

If you keep putting a certain breed of roosters in the chicken coop
and some of these roosters keep killing the chickens, but you
dont know in advance which roosters amongst them will kill.
You dont keep bringing them into the chicken coop.To do so is simply
not logical and worse, stupid.

It is just plain common sense.
This is what Ms Kruger said.

People who resort to name calling are often the ones who have no rational
argument.

Those crying Islamaphobia,xenophobia,bigot, racist, call names because they
are the last resort of those who usually are wrong and have no rational answers to
obvious truths

The author apparently hasn't read the koran - those of us that have are understandably worried, not "xenophobic"
