Good point, Joe, and it shows just how far we are into dhimmitude to the Muslims even though they are still a small part of the population. Our cowardly politicians will not take any action against Muslims for fear that there will be terror reprisals.

What a way to have to live in our own country!

Joe,

Section 18C is concerning racial discrimination. Going by your description, it doesn't sound like race was a factor in that situation.

Hi A.J.,

No, indeed, but it may have breached other laws against harassment, incitement to violence, intimidation, etc.

The point about Anne Aly's demands is that that sort of activity would have been legal - in fact, that anything that Ayaan Hirsi Ali said about Islam would have been ILLegal.

Joe

Yeah we know EmperorJulian the Nazis did not consider Jews as human also. Same tactics same result. Funny how you guys who try and use pseudo science to justify murder deny biology. Shows how sick the human heart is.

Is Mise: Stating that the whole of a future human being exists in a fertilised egg is an arbitrary cutoff instant chosen by the theocrats to support their hatred of women as expressed by runner. The event of conception is an instant on the path from existing human beings all of whom carry within them the ingredients of future human beings with or without conception. Every time the Yanks kill people in their incessant imperial wars for regime change they kill off thousands of future human beings yet we never hear a peep from theocrats like runner about that - the only point along the path that the woman-haters focus on is that of conception which still long precedes the coalescence of cells into an embryo which they can hold up as something with which they can blackmail women.

ttbn makes a valuable observation about the dhimmitude in the path of the march of Islam but I'm not sure fear of terror attacks is the motivation for appeasement.

What motivated the importation of a Moslem Fifth Column in the first place? Apart from the Fifth Columnists themselves, who benefited? Hint: the surveillance industry including the ASIO secret political police. A tried and tested question asked in the investigation of a criminal event is "who benefits?".

Every hint of terrorism has been used as a pretext by governments to close down right of dissent and increase funding and empowerment, at everyone's expense, of the surveillance industry. Surveillance not only against the Fifth Column but also - indeed primarily - against the rest of us
