This I feel needs repeating here. Why? Because it shows the personal effect Islamophobia has on innocent people.

You have my utmost respect, Aqua.

I am not a Muslim, but my son has a Muslim name. He has no real Islamic influence and is very much your typical Aussie kid. I am telling you this because you spoke of fear for your daughters - I'm afraid for my son. We recently moved house and I am living with a constant dull dread of that look of surprised distaste that is becoming more common as we meet our neighbours and names are exchanged. It used to be rare, but it's pretty much the norm lately. I have seriously considered changing his name because he is starting to suffer some mild anxiety. Imagine the fear of a little girl with the scarf?

These are crappy times, but when people like you stop and reconsider and look for the humanity behind the distorted pictures we're shown, only good will come of it.

when islamics stop beheading infidels things might change.
when islamics stop trying to impose their laws over ours things might change.
when islamics assimilate things might change.

it is up to islam.
islam has decided, so has Australia.

You know, Sprint, I suppose I'm an optimist. Perhaps one day I'll wake up and find posts from you condemning Islamophobia and bigotry. I will continue to live in hope but I won't hold my breath. You'd rather glorify the most outrageous behaviour in our society if the targets are Muslims. Roll Eyes

Reply #16 - Sep 20^th, 2014 at 6:57pm The $100 note in the new Islamic state has a picture of the falling WTC towers on 9/11 along with a picture of Bin Laden. I wonder what the muslims and Islamic apologists have to say about that.

Muslims kill far more muslims in the name of Islam than everyone else put together.

That makes Muslims more islamophobic than anyone else, by far.

Still, muslims are far more islamophobic, persecute muslims far, far more than anyone else.

What's wrong, FD, do you think we should use your logic? Now, or in 2007?

A dedicated thread?

It is unclear when the attacks took place. ISIS's use of chlorine gas in attacks isn't new. There are reports that the ISIS militants used chlorine-war gas before.

The Islamic Council of WA is planning to set up a hotline for its members in Western Australia, concerned Muslims will be targeted after vandals damaged a mosque in Sydney on Friday. OH diddums shock horror what will happen next!

Last week more than 800 police raided homes in Sydney and Brisbane in the largest counter-terrorism operation ever in Australia.

One of the arrests involved 22-year-old Omarjan Azari, who is accused of plotting to kidnap a member of the public and have them beheaded.

After the raid, more than 200 members of the Muslim community in Sydney held a rally in the western suburbs, angry they were being unfairly targeted.

Reply #28 - Sep 25^th, 2014 at 12:00am Mosque vandalised: Abuse spray-painted on Muslim community site in Brisbane. Interesting how none of the usual suspects have condemned one of these Islamophobic attacks. I suppose it's to be expected though, as their own Islamophobia controls their thinking.
