" the Albanese government has released its timely response to Aftab Malik's Islamophobia Report"....

“Islamophobia: a word created by fascists, and used by cowards, to manipulate morons.”
— Christopher Hitchens

would be a real shame to miss out on the Di Li's, the Gina Rhinehart's and the likes of Tony and Vince Galati's. On the other hand the Bondi killers, the grooming gangs, the perpetual haters and victims in this nation are usually leftist or servants of facist ideology (Islam). The likes of Paul are either pig headed ignorant or just the typical indoctrinated leftist who love to misrepresent and play on words. Not sure what he does not understand about Hamas terrorist and isis brides but I am sure he will deflect as socialist grubs do.

Hi Trumpster,

"leftists make in crediting Whitlam with ending it. In fact it was unwound by a series of Liberal governments over the 1960's culminating in the reforms instituted by the Holt government."

I posted before that; "1966 when the Holt Coalition government repealed the laws around the White Australia Policy, allowing for mixed migration."

Please try to keep up.

Are there parallels with what the antisemitic Joseph Goebbels said about Jews, and what Islamophobic's are saying today about Muslims. Goebbels linked Bolshevism with international Jewry and warned Germans of an alleged Jewish conspiracy to destroy western civilisation. The Lovely Pauline said there was no such thing as a good Muslim. There are right wing ratbags who warn Australians, claiming there is a link between Islam and Marxism, they also claim there is an international Islamic conspiracy to destroy western civilisation, certainly sounds familiar.

Don't know about your folk hero Christopher Hitchens. He seems to be some kind of screwed up right wing radical, who believed Iraq was responsible for 9/11. Got that wrong, maybe he also got it wrong about Islamophobia. I don't think fascists created the word Islamophobia, but they certainly suffer from it.

"Are there parallels with what the antisemitic Joseph Goebbels said about Jews, and what Islamophobic's are saying today about Muslims. "

Since there are no Islamophobes, your question is unanswerable.
Additionally, Goebbels was racist against Jews. But Islam isn't a race.

0 for 2.

"[Christopher Hitchens] who believed Iraq was responsible for 9/11."

False. As in not even close to true.

Hi Trumpster,

"Since there are no Islamophobes" When Pauline Hanson said; "how can you tell me there are good Muslims?" during a February 2026 interview on Sky News. In March 2026, the Australian Senate passed a motion formally censuring Senator Hanson for the remark. If were talking about one or two, or even a million, but to claim 2 billion are all bad, based on their religious beliefs indicates a phobia, Islamophobia.

Then there is that old chestnut that rednecks use; "Islam isn't a race" so I can't be racists when I hate them because of their religion. Your cop out is a technical definition, and Islamophobes can claim they are just bigots. Is that what they are? Bigots.

Again Paul, you don't understand. Its a made up term used to try to suppress free speech. And as usual you fall for it.

Being opposed to the radical Islam (and Hanson's comment was in regard to radical Islamists, not that you'll understand that) isn't a phobia. A phobia is an irrational fear. But opposing radical Islam is neither irrational nor a fear.

"a word created by fascists, and used by cowards, to manipulate morons.” Which one are you?
