Title: Abbott hits the nail on the head again!
Post by Armchair_Politician on Dec 9th, 2015 at 5:39am
TONY Abbott has called for a religious revolution within Islam as he urges Australians to stop apologising for their Western values and culture.

Writing exclusively for The Daily Telegraph today — a week before the anniversary of the Sydney Lindt Cafe siege — the former prime ­minister warns of a “clash of civilisations” unless Islam ­undergoes a global reform.

In an article likely to invite controversy, Mr Abbott says Australia and the West can no longer live in denial about the “problem within Islam”, and that while most Muslims rejected terrorism, some were “all too ready to justify ‘death to the infidel’.”

“Islam needs to delegitimise the urge to ‘behead all those who insult the Prophet’ but only Muslims can do this,” Mr Abbott writes.

“Demonising Islam generally or all Muslims could bring on the ‘clash of civilisations’ that academic Samuel Huntington feared two decades back and make ‘Islam’s bloody borders’ even more dangerous.

“But we can’t remain in ­denial about the massive problem within Islam.

“Islam has never had its own version of the Reformation and the Enlightenment or a consequent acceptance of pluralism and the separation of church and state.”

Mr Abbott’s comments will be seen as reinforcing a growing number of Coalition MPs who have broken ranks with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and called on Muslim leaders to do more to counter violent extremism.

“Everyone interested in a safer world should reach out to ‘live and let live’ Muslims and encourage them to ­reclaim their faith from the zealots,” Mr Abbott writes.

“In Australia, that means talking to decent people who happen to be Muslim as well as to ‘official’ Muslims inclined to see ‘Islamophobia’ in any criticism.

“Surveys of British and French Muslims typically show up to 30 per cent sympathising with the aims if not the methods of Islamic State.

“Fortunately, there are numerous Muslim leaders who think their faith needs to modernise from the kill-or-be-killed milieu of the Prophet Mohammed.”

Praising US President Barack Obama for stepping up the military campaign against IS, Mr Abbott says it won’t be enough on its own.

“There also needs to be a concerted ‘hearts and minds’ campaign against the versions of Islam that make excuses for terrorists,” he writes.

Mr Abbott also warns of a cultural cringe preventing an honest debate about the issue and calls on Australians to proclaim the secular values on which the nation was built.

“It’s also time Australians stopped being apologetic about the values that have made our country as free, fair and prosperous as any on Earth,” Mr Abbott writes.

“It’s not culturally insensitive to demand loyalty to Australia ... we should be ready to proclaim the clear superiority of our culture to one that justifies killing people in the name of God.”

He has just reaffirmed his limited scope.

More waffle that would only serve to make things worse, the type of comment that ISIS would love to see.

The best way to push more recruits to ISIS and make it more dangerous in Australia.

How would it make things worse? Islam desperately needs to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. ISIS won't be defeated by military means alone. We need to make sure Muslims don't take up the radical branch of Islam that is causing so much death and destruction. We also need to stop top-toeing around Muslims with regard to our culture. They came here to live because of our culture. If we start hiding it for fear of offending others, then our society will turn to sh!t very quickly and unravel.

Too bad he didn't take over from Howard instead of Rudd taking over. Abbott was handed an impossible task of cleaning up the worst mess left behind by any government in history. Record debt, record deficit, high unemployment. Labor leaves nothing but carnage as its legacy every single time. Had he taken over from a competent government like Howards', he could've implemented the agenda he campaigned on and I think we'd have seen Tony re-elected with an even bigger majority.

I don't think an idiot who says he doesn't believe in gay marriage because of his religion, and who put together a policy specifically about religion (chaplaincy program) can talk about separation of church and state.

It's a shame that religious nut jobs like idiot Tony continuously muddy the debate.  Let us agnostics take care of this, and let the loony Christian worshippers stay awfully silent in the corner.

He is quite correct in many areas.  The Muslim world hasn't undergone enlightenment, and it's quite clear from the many religious states that value systems aren't shared.  Even indonesia, who is constantly used as an example of progressive Muslim country, went nuts over the death penalty.  That isn't politics - that's a society that has stemmed largely from a religious Muslim upbringing.

So, unfortunately, idiot has a point. And by unfortunately what I mean is it's a shame his hipocrisy has some merit.  I'd prefer we got rid of all religion, but while we can't because the loonies would cry too much, at the very least we need to have a conversation on how we can possibly assimilate people who do come from quite a vastly different view of the world.

More to the point, let them fix their own mess first. There is still ongoing fall out from decades of covered up child abuse on an horrendous scale - yet the stallwarts and protectors of the faith the abusers keep desperately pointing the finger outwards.

I'd be interested on someone doing a proper study on this.

Ask Christians, 1st generation Muslims and 2nd generation Muslims the same values and tolerance questions. And let's do a test that can put to rest the question of how well people can assimilate based on their religious beliefs.

At last he's come out of the closet on the national self-harm that immigrating Muslims means to Western nations - but all too late, of course, because he's no longer prime minister.

What the West needs are no-nonsense, no-political correctness prime ministers and presidents who while in office start openly dealing with the Islamic Menace that has arrived through decades of irresponsible and ignorant Muslim immigration programs.

Donald Trump is calling for an end to political correctness with regard to pretending not to notice the elephant-in-the-room.

Tony Abbott is now preaching to an international audience about the threat that Islam via Muslim immigration now poses for Western civilisation.

And the fact the Lefties are squealing like stuck pigs about this is proof positive that Trump and Abbott are on the right track.

Abbott was useless as Cabinet Minister, could not write and argue cabinet submissions. Howard kept him on as counterweight to Costello I think.

He was useless as PM as we saw, had to be deposed.

What abbott & now Turncoat is doing will leave a gigantic mess for Labor to clean up after the next election.

Ou views are based upon to various teachings throughout our lives either formally, informally and religious

The left seems to be sensitive and respectful to Islamic teaching but when it comes to Christianity the left condemns

Here's the thing the idiotic Left-wing nutjobs forget. The people who migrate to our country from all corners of the globe do so because of our way of life, our culture and our system of government and law. When the idiotic Left-wing nutjobs do things like stopping Easter or Christmas celebrations at public and private schools, for example, they are robbing those who migrated here of the opportunity to experience Australian culture, customs and beliefs. Most sane, level-headed people do not expect Muslims (for example) to adhere to Christian values and beliefs but they do expect them to respect Christian values and beliefs just as they would expect Christians to respect Muslim values and beliefs. This PC garbage is robbing Australia of its identity, of the very fabric of what made this country as great as it is and the reason for which so many people have made the decision to become Australian citizens. It is also slowly eroding one of the fundamental aspects of our society - pluralism, or accepting more than one point of view.

He had a good grasp on the pulse of ordinary Australians on matters that were important to them, such as stopping the boats and national security. That's why he consistently found support in his stance on those particular issues.

The Ahmadi muslims dropped the obligation for Jihad they are cool with separation of mosque and state.

The Ahmadi are persecuted by mainstream Islam for heretical reforms they cannot even call themselves muslims in Pakistan where they originated.

The persecution of Ahmadi muslims by mainstream Islam for heretical reforms shows how reluctant muslims are to do anything about their religion.

Quote:
Jesus Mary and Joseph, Tony Abbott. Did you just tell Muslims that they need a theological reformation, like Christianity has had?


I know it was some time ago that you were in the seminary, but surely you remember that the Reformation created Protestantism. You and I are members of the unreformed strain of Christianity, the Roman Catholic church. You and I and our 1.2 billion fellow Catholics around the world have had no reformation. We are part of a church that has steadfastly refused to embrace, in both internal structures and theological development, modern concepts like democracy or gender equality.

Sure, our church no longer runs Crusades and no longer says the Jews killed Jesus. I don’t think that suffices as a definition of a modern institution. Our church condemns homosexual people as sinful – and defines them as disordered – if they act on their sexual orientation, even in mutually loving, monogamous relationships.

Our church denies women the ability to use modern technology and medicine to control their fertility, even though Pope Francis told us this year that we no longer “need to breed like rabbits.”

Our church tells divorced people they have failed as Christians – even if the marriage was abusive or if their spouse was cheating on them – and denies them access to the sacraments.

To be fair though, the outcome that Abbott was most harking to in relation to the reformation was the separation of church and state. I think thats what he was basically calling for when he calls for a reformation in Islam.

I believe that the general consensus amongst the idiot left is that they are simply not sucking muslim cock hard enough and this is the root cause of the problem so suck harder.

Tony wants Islam to reform itself?

He DOES realise, I suppose, his Church has not reformed itself?  ;)


The Christians stopped whacking heretics a long time ago


Exactly. It's the simple things that escape the Leftwads.

The trouble with old Tones is once he became PM he was exposed to too many ASIO and Federal police secret reports on muslims, that would be enough to turn anyone into an islamaphobe.

Turnbull on the other hand is only new, by this time next year though he will have the same position on mussies as Donald Trump.

While that is basically a joke the fact that many in the right are trying to push as many Muslims into radical options as possible is actually fact.

Yes, the right are refusing to be cocksuckers, instead we poke and prod the mussies to see which ones are insane and when they pop their head up we blow it off.
There are lots of right wing mussies that get a laugh out of that too, they are the ones we don't mind keeping  :)

Yeah Dnarever,          ....coz it is the critics of ISLAM/moslems [in the West],         ....which is the principle cause of the radicalisation of moslems [in the West].

Coz, the radicalisation of moslems, has nothing at all to do with ISLAM itself.

Muslim = = a follower of Islam.
