Islamophobia? Yes, your Honour! Grin

So what name do they have for instances like a Sunni driving a car bomb into a market to kill Shia Muslims?

What about when Muslims machinegun 100's of unarmed muslims in the head? Do they have a catchy name for that too?

What about when muslims shoot down 100's of young school kids? Some still in bed? Do you have a name for that?

What name do they use for all the muslim V muslim hatred?

Theydon'trepresentmuslimsaphobia?

Ditto.

Those Christians love to knock on the door and force their pamphlets into your hands though, don't they?

I haven't seen any Muslims doing that.

In fact, I have never had a Muslim mention religion to me at all. Not once.

Many of my Christian friends and family members, however, never shut up about it.

I've been asked several times, by Christians, to attend a church.

Not once have I been asked by a Muslim to attend a mosque.

Who has been forcing their religion onto you?

Back to the OP, ladies and gentlemen.

Last week, the day before Easter, gunmen from the Islamist al-Shabab slaughtered more than 140 Christian students in Kenya. Yet on three successive days, the ABC television news reports did not mention the faith of the killers — the critical clue to why they killed only Christians. Lateline’s first report also refused to identify the killers’ faith and motive.

Does anyone dispute this? Is it not fair to say the editorial policy of the ABC is to pander to, and not offend, Muslims, even when confronted with one of their latest atrocities?

au contraire

My suburb - the most multicultural suburb in Australia - has quite a few Muslims.

Back in 2001, Victoria Park had the seventh highest number of Muslims in WA. The numbers have gone up a lot since then.

Every day, I pass them on the street, see them at the shopping centre, and talk to the ones who are my neighbours.

In the years that I've lived here, not one of them has mentioned religion. Not ever.

On the other hand, I get Christians knocking on my door fairly regularly, trying to convince me to become one of them.

So tell us, who has been forcing their religion onto you?

Do you have some examples?

Bit hard as he's in Western Australia where Fairfax doesn't have any media outlets. I'm sure Greg's aware of the ALP. A finer bunch of Australians I don't know of. Grin

I read the bolt article, i still dont see the connection between what happened in kenya and reclaim australia.

No.

What examples of hypocrisy are untrue? I do not think the author ever pointed out the hypocrisy. He just stated facts that if true, would lead a rational person to conclude hypocrisy. So what exactly is 'wrong' with the article?
