We certainly should throw out the religion of secular humanist with the rest as well as the Indigneous religous practices. Problem is Betty that no one is left.

Banjo,

You are exactly right. Despite TNT's explosive revelations that living in a Muslim ruled country is bliss there is a small area he hasn't mentioned. You have, thank you.

TNT should go and live where life is so wonderful, he may even convert and become his very own God too.

Sorry TNT the bigger threat is people with your apathetic approach to the threat of losing all we had. Not just to Muslim political parties. To Coalition and Labor parties as well. They are already well on their way to completing the creation of a ruling class, themselves.

Throw religion into the mix and we have our worst nightmare. The Crusades, Ozzie style.

Take a break from your ivory tower TNT and go visit a few of those ghettos that are recreating the horrors of other countries in our land. Enjoy, hope you can read other languages. And obey those that rule these ghettos. Imans.

Who are the bigots?

Today about 7 out of 10 Muslim women in Malaysia wear the Islamic head scarf. It was not so more than 20 years ago, then only elderly women put on head scarf. Malay Muslims today consider themselves Muslims first, Malaysians second and Malays third. Not surprisingly they have declared many of their cultural heritage as un-Islamic. Much like the Muslims in Afghanistan destroying the world-heritage Buddhas of the Bamyan cliffs in 2001

Today there are an increasing group that consider themselves a Muslim race, e.g in Sri Lanka, Bosnia, Serbia, etc. They are not being type cast as a race but consider themselves as one. They are correct. If you are born a white Australian you will always remain a white. But a white-Christian can become a white-Buddhist. One can't change one's race but one can change one's religion. An Afghan Muslim became a Christian and he was sentenced to death. So if 'Muslim' is a religion why are those born Muslims put to death when they stop being Muslims or convert to other religion?

Therefore, Islam is creating a race called Muslims. A system intolerant of other religions, women are a second class and undermining democracy and secularism with the totalitarian rule of Shariah.

Aqvarivs, get a grip on your right wing please. Otherwise you'll flap off in a circle forever.

The Daily Show left wing? It's called comedy Aqv. It's humour, not surprised you don't recognise it. Those that identify themselves as of the non existent left or right don't understand humour. They just seek a fence (jest) and have no trouble finding it. Try the bible mate. Fences galore in there.

And congrats to Irfan for presuming that people have views they don't have and write things they haven't written. Goes with his grammar, knowledge and spelling. All fiction.

Irf, since BD has not posted re this article, I thought your comment was hilarious.

TRTL, I should have said it is time to subject the claims of religion to scrutiny in all public discourse, and be unafraid to show contempt for idiocy. For example, when that Imam said the drought was caused by Australians not believing in Allah, the strongest criticsm was: it was silly. Silly? it was insane! Newspapers, Radio and Television should have people on tap who, when religious people make claims, are there to question them. Politicians are always drivelling on about "The Christian Ethic" as if somehow all those exhortations to war, murder, rape, torture, slavery and abuse of women in the bible are of no consequence. If they want to use the bible as their raison d'etre, then they must use all of it, not just pick out the bits that suit.
