Sydney siege shouldn’t be excuse for Islamophobia

Opinion: 'The Muslims are coming!' Why Islamophobia is so dangerous

The evangelical giftwrapping of Islamophobia marches on

and muslims murder and rape us infidels

As they strike the infidel, Muslims cry out in pain about backlash that never comes.

Anyway.


So why not ... introduce a system of financial penalties for the entire range of terrorist activities? For example: write a crazy letter to the family of dead veteran – first offence, $1000. Write another – $2000. Write a third – $3000. Fail to pay your fine? Off to court with you, my friend – just like the unpaid parking and speeding fines. And if they can’t find you, then they cancel your licence. Terrorist tweets and Facebook entries could attract similar penalties: evidence can be easily captured in screen-grabs.

Better, you could tie this to the receipt of welfare payments. First offence – suspension of all individual welfare payments, including the disability allowance, for one month. Second offence – suspension for two months. Third offence – suspension for one year. And if you were really keen, you could also tie this to the driver’s licence demerit system, to take even more dangerous people off the roads.

The Islamic community would surely endorse this scheme, because it would help to identify these tragically isolated lone wolves within their communities, and separate them from the peaceful and loyal majority. They could even perhaps benefit in some small way financially from the detection of terrorist individuals, based on the provision of sufficient evidence. Prominent seasons of community festival could be run in parallel with a double-demerits system, where individuals could pay twice their normal fines for these offences.

Waddaya think, Brain? Good idea?

How about we create a scale of financial penalties for Islamophobia?

Write an internet post, unfairly attacking innocent Muslims?  $1,000.  A second offence?  $2,000 and so on and so on.

Attack a Muslim on the street verbally?  $1,000, a second offence, $2,000 and so on and so on.

Physically attack a Muslim?  $10,000, a second offence, $20,000 plus of course, any gaol time you accrue as well.

Anti-Muslim graphitto?  $1,000.  More Graphitti?  A thousand dollars extra per piece.

Soren, you'd soon be a very bankrupt man, the rate at which you post.

Good one, Brain, defender of free exchange of ideas - not.

Opposing Islam is not Islamophobia, bozo. It is opposing Islam. You can oppose things, you know, it's not compulsory to embrace all and every ideology, religion, norms and cultural practice.

Signing up for or supporting  terrorist activity here or overseas is, on the other hand, an offence.   You do recognise that there is Muslim terrorism around the world, don't you Brain, and that Australian Muslims are involved?  Don't you, Brain?
