It being late, I thought I would check that quote quote praising Muhammad as the "Savior of Humanity" who would have succeeded in solving all the world's problems if he "were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world", found posted all over the Internet, and here at OLO.

According to the International Shaw Society treasurer Richard F Dietrich, who had compiled a complete list of Shaw's works, The Genuine Islam is "bogus".No such book exists. The origin of this hoax is an interview between Shaw and Muslim propagandist Maulana Mohammed Abdul Aleem Siddiqui published in a Muslim periodical in January 1936.The quotation appears in a separate quotation box without attribution, and not in the main body of the interview. However, the main body of the interview does feature Shaw challenging Siddiqui from a rationalist perspective."

As with many of these fabrications, the truth is the opposite of what is claimed. The International Shaw Society treasurer pointed out that Shaw described the religion of Islam in a 1933 letter to the Rev. Ensor Walters in the following way: Islam is very different, being ferociously intolerant. What I may call Manifold Monotheism becomes in the minds of very simple folk an absurdly polytheistic idolatry, just as European peasants not only worship Saints and the Virgin as Gods, but will fight fanatically for their faith in the ugly little black doll who is the Virgin of their own Church against the black doll of the next village. When the Arabs had run this sort of idolatry to such extremes [that] they did this without black dolls and worshipped any stone that looked funny, Mahomet rose up at the risk of his life and insulted the stones shockingly, declaring that there is only one God, Allah, the glorious, the great… And there was to be no nonsense about toleration. You accepted Allah or you had your throat cut by someone who did accept him, and who went to Paradise for having sent you to Hell.

Is anybody surprised?

Paul,

"The fight will continue until Domestic Violence is eliminated from our society."

You gunna join the ban Islam movement?

Toni,

Realistically we can't ban Islam as a religion but we could redefine it as what it really is, a subversive political movement.
However, banning would still be a massive problem as such an action would bring international sanctions and as Australia has been reduced to the level of a Client State, we do not have the resources to stand alone.

The Immigration Act is all that is needed to prevent any more Muslims coming here. Nothing to with what the Constitution says about religion. The Constitution says what laws can be made, and who can make make; and the Commonwealth can certainly make immigration laws. John Howard was correct when he said we would decide who comes here. All above board and constitutional.

Paul,

Can't see 'peaceful walks' no matter how "heartening" making much difference to domestic violence, which takes place in private, without warning. What you saw, or heard about, was just another case of 'virtue signalling'. Domestic violence is abhorrent, of course, but it's something that nanny governments can do nothing about, except punish perpetrators after the event.

Note that the instigator of this post hasn't been back to defend his daft comments.

Dear Paul,

There will be lots of activities at Federation
Square in Melbourne today. Being "White Ribbon
Day". It was great to read that things went so
