Reflections on a multicultural nation : Comments

By Andrew Jakubowicz, published 15/11/2006

The energy directed against multiculturalism has been truly evil, for it has been advancing an agenda of superiority, while disregarding the consequences.

Umm.
Did you also just forget apart from the fact the bible is part! of your faith its completly unsuitable to not respect the culture of the country thats taken you in.
Or is the bible just sort of OK because its mentioned in Islam. This is a host country for many muslims- yes.
Our culture should not be under threat. Personally I think which ever country people ask to stay in that it should be required A English or whatever. B Concert to that culture.
That would save a great deal of trouble.

C.J. and F.H.

False witness ? sentence and verse please. I told it as reported.
I added one personal observation "Sadly this IS the culture of many Muslim migrants". I'm willing to re-phrase this to "A significant number of".

Now...F.H. who is bearing false witness here mate. You KNOW that the standard Islamic view of Christian Scriptures is this "THEY HAVE BEEN CORRUPTED".

Now.. just for added weight, I'll repeat the Quranic view of Christians.

Surah 9.30
YUSUFALI: The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!

Lets show these in point form.

1/ Allah's CURSE be upon them (WHO ? the Christians and Jews..by name)
2/ They are DELUDED.
3/ Away from Truth.

The above Quranic statements constitute an offense under the RRT2001. Its illegal.

Is it any wonder, with information like this from the Quran, that boys would regard any symbol of Christianity (and especially its 'corrupted' scriptures) as a legitimate target for desecration ?

C.J. I gave you the link to the story, and presumably people will read it and clearly see the action of expulsion. Hateful ? my my... I refer you to the above.

I've written to the papers in various opinion columns emphasizing that the biblical Christian response is to 'correct in love' ie.. by pointing out that Christ told us to love our enemies. Now..don't even begin to try to tell me that by sharing truth I'm not loving.
I have no problem with pointing out the flaws in Islam, and its prophet as an act of love. Painful ? yes, Worrying ? yes, Unsettling ? of course..but unloving ? no way.

Brainy.. points taken.
Bennie.. where did they get it from ? ..see above.

No there is nothing loving about sharing just those portions of the truth that suit your own purposes and keeping quiet about other bits. Truth never seeks to create a misleading impression of what occurred. It's self seeking and nothing to do with truth.

I recall a period some years ago when book and record burning was a bit of a fad within parts of the christain church. Great joy was taken in destroying those things not of god. It was a symbolic act that does not seem all that different to what those young mossie hot heads have done.

Antjie Struthman,

Read my prior posts on OLO to know what I stand for, I support and promote Australian values and all my comments and actions are consistent.

Boaz,

You said
a) “You KNOW that the standard Islamic view of Christian Scriptures is this "THEY HAVE BEEN CORRUPTED".

Correct, corruption means changing/ editing scripture and that’s the truth that no Christian can deny. Any book by a Christian about the history of the Bible will show a 30+ gospels and a filtration process happened to exclude most of these except for the 4 annexed to the OT.

b) Your quote re truth, the Quran refer to Jesus (pbuh) as a prophet and confirming his miracles (in fact, Jesus miracles in the Quran exceed his miracles in the Bible by three). The 'untrue' part according to Islam is claiming he is divine or equal to God. Again you don’t need Islam for that, the Bible itself describes Jesus as a prophet.

However, the Qu’ran also states that this is not our judgement and that believers could be Muslims, Christians, Jews or Sabeans.
Mohamed (pbuh) treated Christians well and his biography illustrates that he allowed Christian visitors to pray in his house and Mosque.

Your intellectual dishonesty is beyond repair mon ami :)

Robert,

Well said. Good to read from you.

Peace,

T

When in Rome, live like the Romans. Can't really find a problem with this.

Now try this: "When in a multicultural country, live like multicultural people". Hmmm. Does not have the same ring of truth and clarity to it, does it? Put it this way, you can see the utter banality of the idea.

Once again a forum mutates into trying to understand, certain statements in a silly old book that was subject to 2000 years of Chinese whispers.
The very fact that the Quran can be misinterpreted in this way, by not just a couple, but a substantial percentage of Muslims, makes me come to the conclusion the Quran should be banned from the Australian public.

It should be banned as it is an unassailable obstacle on this integration (rode to nowhere) track.

If you look right down this multi-cultural road, right down the distance of it, you’ll find 1 of 2 possibilities: extreme violence on mass scales or Police state. Unfortunately BrainDrain and R0bert are blindly following this road.

Don’t kid yourself those boys from that Islamic school are speaking for more then 50% of their represented population. The continual persecution of Non-Muslims in Sydney etc, shows the threat that a growing and expanding Muslim population will have on the wider Australian community.

I can not see any BENEFITS of an expanding, growing Muslim population, but the Negatives I see clearly.
I must admit again that a policy that turns a majority into a persecuted minority i.e. Lakemba is one great policy hay Brain-Drain.

Cronulla riots, closing down of east coast, Terrorism attempts quashed by a slowly growing police state, mass exodus of white south Africans & English, gangland fights, gang rapes, Racism, Intolerance, Genocide, War, just to many benefits, ooooh the glorious benefits of multiculturalism.
