I am your ordinary, middle-class, working mother that happens to be a practising Muslim who profoundly opposes terrorism and is ardently seeking harmony.

Hi Is Mise,

I think it was about the difficulties for Muslims of reforming Islam. That was my take on her article.

Cheers,

Joe

Peak Muslim male dominance in Australia's Muslim community has been revealed. This puts the lie to the OLO author's picture of liberated woman being the norm in Australia's Muslim communities.

SBS reported 24 Feb http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2017/02/24/keysar-trad-apologises-for-clumsy-domestic-violence-comments

"The President of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, Keysar Trad, has apologised for condoning domestic violence as a 'last resort', calling his explanation of the Quran 'clumsy'.

On Wednesday night, Mr Trad told Andrew Bolt on Sky News that beating a woman was "step three" in a process to deal with relationships."

Unlike the ABC's constant picture of liberated Muslim women in head coverings http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-02-13/jacqui-lambie-and-yassmin-abdel-magied--in-fiery-qanda-debate/8267212

It is the SBS article - http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2017/02/24/keysar-trad-apologises-for-clumsy-domestic-violence-comments that presents a disturbing different picture of older male fundamentalist dominance of Australia's Muslim community.

Even more difficult, where virtue-signalling 'do-gooders', cynical politicians among them, undermine the courageous ex- and continuing Muslims who strive for the reformation of Islam and endure abuse and risk death in the process.

Here is a timeline of major crimes in Australia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_major_crimes_in_Australia

Anybody watch "Sixty Minutes" on Sunday evening,
26th February 2017?

16 month old Mason Parker was
bashed to death by his mother's boyfriend - Troy Reed.
Mason's only one of many children in this country that
have been killed. I wonder what if any religious
practices influence the monsters who commit these
heinous crimes? And that's not counting the other acts
of violence and murder that are committed daily by pathologically
sick people in our society.
