The failing front line in the war against ‘extreme’ Islam
On the one hand, a public servant might lose his head to a knife-wielding jihadi. And on the other hand, he could be labelled a racist bigot by Big Brother, lose his job and be cast out from society into the exterior darkness of wailing and gnashing teeth. Actually, to be truthful, they are both cards dealt in the same hand. It’s a hand called ‘being perceived to be the slightest, teeny-tiny bit concerned about Islam’. And all public...
Beheadings in the backyard
Over 800 police have swooped to arrest 15 suspected terrorists preparing for attacks in Brisbane and Sydney. Authorities have not yet released all the details, but it has been announced that police disrupted a plan to attack random members of the public. In full view of the public. It is alleged that this would have included beheadings and mass shootings. Not surprisingly, the alleged terrorist activity was to have been conducted by...
Dealing with the Islamic State
Everyone wants to do something about the Islamic State. But what? So far most of the action has amounted to a bunch of press conferences in which supposedly intelligent people drivel blather about the non-Islamic beliefs of those carving out the new Caliphate. For instance, Australia’s Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, has refused to call the Islamic State the Islamic State because he believes it is not Islamic or a state. So he referred...
Guest post: The price of freedom is eternal vigilance
As readers may be aware, the Bendigo Mosque has recently been approved, despite strong community opposition. The local government has been supported in its decision to ignore its duties towards the people of Bendigo by corporate entities, the main culprit being the Bendigo Bank. It pretends to be a diverse and tolerant organisation, but shut down the accounts of the the local concerned citizens group because it exercised its...
Losing the Western will to fight (Part 2): Dissecting disaster
Yesterday Mosul, a city that once was home 3 million people, fell to an al Qaeda offshoot. Today it is Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit that finds itself under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. It also has the keys to the nation’s largest oil refinery in Bayji. Shock and awe has returned to Iraq in the worst possible way. There can be no doubt that the same will happen in Afghanistan in the not too distant future....
Feminism’s final frontier: battlefield abortion
You can either be a bleeding heart loser, or you can live in the real world and win. That’s the reality that faces any military. Of course, any sane Australian would hope that the Australian Defence Force would choose the latter option. But, of course, any sane Australian can also see that it has not. The truth is that the Australian military is pushing the new-age feminist agenda. It’s choosing to become a bleeding heart loser....
Sharia Law or Australian Law?
We know what the law says about religious freedom in the home of Islam because the US State Department has helpfully produced a report called the 2011 Report on International Religious Freedom. And it has devoted an entire section to Saudi Arabia. And I’ve gone to the trouble of reading it. And the most important bit is this: “Freedom of religion is neither recognized nor protected under the law and is severely restricted in...
Revealed: Australian-made Islamic death threats
Two videos go up on YouTube. Both were made in Australia. The first is by Zaky Mallah. He boasts of being Australia’s first Islamic terrorist. The tone of his voice is one of contempt for the non-Islamic world and he deliberately blows smoke into the camera to reinforce his message of disdain and scorn. Mallah arrogantly claims that Islam will be spread throughout Australia. He beats his fist into his hand while stating that ‘on his...
An old cliché: Labor supports family values
If you lie with dogs, then you’ll wake up with fleas. It’s a saying that the Australian Labor Party likes to ignore. And to it’s own political peril too. Labor does not just sleep with dogs. It wallows in the dirtiest and filthiest fringes of the Australian political spectrum. If Craig Thomson was not enough to prove that this party’s supposed love of family values was nothing more than a hollow joke, then the Group Voting...
The lilting sound of Allahu Akbar on New Year’s Day
In a little over four months, Australians will begin commemorations to mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War. These events will remember the tremendous sacrifices endured by our forbears a century ago. And they are well worth remembering. Australians today are lucky indeed that they have not had to suffer them. Nearly 40 per cent of the male population aged between 18 and 44 put on a uniform between 1914 and 1918. Every...
