The Koran vs 18c

Over 7 and a half thousand signatures so far

https://www.change.org/p/petition-the-quran-to-be-removed-from-sale-in-australia-due-to-section-18c-violations?recruiter=59932551&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=autopublish&utm_term=mob-xs-no_src-no_msg

Quote:
The Quran of Islam is on clear violation of Section 18C  of the Racial Discrimination Act which makes it unlawful for to do an act that is reasonably likely to “offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate” someone because of their race or ethnicity.
Quotes from this "Holy Book" include:
Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing... but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun(the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)"
Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."
Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority". This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be 'joining companions to Allah').
Quran (4:95) - "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame, etc.), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their wealth and their lives above those who sit (at home).Unto each, Allah has promised good (Paradise), but Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward " This passage criticizes "peaceful" Muslims who do not join in the violence, letting them know that they are less worthy in Allah's eyes. It also demolishes the modern myth that "Jihad" doesn't mean holy war in the Quran, but rather a spiritual struggle.
Quran (2.62) Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.
Quran (2.83) And when We made a covenant with the children of Israel: You shall not serve any but Allah and (you shall do) good to (your) parents, and to the near of kin and to the orphans and the needy, and you shall speak to men good words and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate. Then you turned back except a few of you and (now too) you turn aside.
Quran (2.88) And they say: Our hearts are covered. Nay, Allah has cursed them on account of their unbelief; so little it is that they believe.
Quran (2.98) Whoever is the enemy of Allah and His angels and His apostles and Jibreel and Meekaeel, so surely Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers.
Quran (2.111) And they say: None sh all enter the garden (or paradise) except he who is a Jew or a Christian. These are their vain desires. Say: Bring your proof if you are truthful.
Quran (2.113) And the Jews say: The Christians do not follow anything (good) and the Christians say: The Jews do not follow anything (good) while they recite the (same) Book. Even thus say those who have no knowledge, like to what they say; so Allah shall judge between them on the day of resurrection in what they differ.
Quran (5:51) - O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.
Quran (5:54) - O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his religion - Allah will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him [who are] humble toward the believers, powerful against the disbelievers; they strive in the cause of Allah and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of Allah ; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
***Quran (5:51) has caused stern consternation in Indonesia in the last couple of months!***

re the content of the OP....


It is good, that such a petition will bring more attention to what the Koran contains, BUT I CERTAINLY HOPE, myself, that the Koran is NOT banned or prohibited, here, in Australia.

I want people to read it !!!!!

To understand, what it promotes !



What i would ban, if i had the power, was the open practice of ISLAM, in Australia, because of what ISLAM inculcates into the psyche of the moslem.

And i would close [ban] every and all mosques, here, in Australia.

.....i'm just dreaming.

As a citizen of this United States, are you willing to excuse and to defend a hostile and malevolent entity [ISLAM], which wants to weaken and destroy our nation ?

If you are, then you are choosing to align yourself with the enemies of this United States of America.

And if you are willing to do that, then you are choosing to identify yourself too, as an enemy of the people of this United States of America.

WHAT THE 'OFFENSIVE' AMERICAN SAID.......

Quote:

......"In order to protect Americans, we must ensure that those admitted to this country do not bear hostile attitudes toward our country and its founding principles.

We cannot, and should not, admit into our country those who do not support the U.S. Constitution, or those who would place violent religious edicts over American law.

In addition, the United States should not admit those who engage in acts of bigotry and hatred (including “honor” killings, other forms of violence against women, or the persecution of those who practice other religions) or those who would oppress members of one race, one gender, or sexual orientation."

What i say......


ISLAM is a hostile and alien culture

Moslems are not Australians.


Even moslems living in Australia, who have secured Australian citizenship, are not Australians.

Why so ?

The allegiance and loyalty of the moslem, is to ISLAM exclusively.

Any moslem who denies that,         is a FILTHY STINKING, LYING, DECEITFUL moslem.

Study declared ISLAMIC doctrine.

It confirms that the loyalty of the moslem must always be to ISLAM, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd!

Our moslem 'ally' in Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said these things......

--------- >

Google;
Erdogan, "Sovereignty Belongs Unconditionally and Always To Allah"



Google;
Erdogan, "One Cannot Be a Muslim, and Secular"



Google;
Erdogan, The Mosques are our Barracks, the Domes our helmets, the Minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers




Yadda says......

The president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan is an ISLAMIST who is posing as a democratic politician.



Yaddas TRUTH.....

Moslems will ALWAYS speak truthfully with non-moslems, except when it is not in their own interests to do so.

Moslems will ALWAYS fulfill their undertakings/agreements with non-moslems, except when it is not in their own interests to do so.


QUESTION;
What differentiates the character of the moslem, from the character of the career politician of the West ???

That, is a very good question.   !!!

My holy book [the Old Testament part] said that God's people were NOT allowed to kill people who were not his followers/believers.

But my holy book [the Old Testament part] DID SAY, DID SAY, DID SAY, say that God's people WERE ALLOWED to kill people who were killers, covenant breakers, and liars.

Interesting, isn't it.


WHEREAS.....
Moslems are encouraged to force people they come across, to either worship Allah [convert], or accept slavery, and if they refuse both of those options,       .....ISLAM teaches moslems that it is completely lawful for the moslem to kill those disbelievers.

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, commanded his judges over his people to kill;
killers,
covenant breakers,
and liars [who through their lies, sought to cause others to come to harm].



.



God's law mandates that we love all others, as we love our own self.

Even Old Testament law says this.....

Leviticus 19:33
And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
34  But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself...


n.b.
.....and thou shalt love him as thyself




God's laws in the Old Testament principally mandate that those who follow him, make a distinction [discriminate] between the good and the wicked.

And 'discriminate' between good persons and wicked persons.

And reject and censure what is wicked and evil.



e.g.
The ancient Hebrews - HAD NO SANCTION FROM THEIR GOD TO MURDER THOSE WHO WERE NOT HEBREWS - because they were not Hebrews.

AGAIN, the law of the ancient Hebrews [given by their God],
.....prohibited the ancient Hebrews from murdering anyone because they were not Hebrews.



Exodus 12:49
One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

Exodus 22:21
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him...

Exodus 23:9
Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger...

Leviticus 19:33
And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
34  But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself...


n.b.
.....and thou shalt love him as thyself

Leviticus 25:47-49
[these verses clearly speak of [and reveal that it was entirely 'lawful'] for Hebrews [themselves] to become bond servants [slaves], to prosperous strangers living among the Hebrews.]

Deuteronomy 1:16
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

Deuteronomy 10:17-19
For the LORD your God... loveth the stranger, ...Love ye therefore the stranger:
for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Deuteronomy 24:17
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
18  But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.

Deuteronomy 27:19
Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger...

FD are you now saying its racist to attack people on the basis of their beliefs?

Or perhaps you started this thread to point out the hypocricy of these Islamophobes - who castigate muslim apologists for calling criticism of Islamic belief 'racist' - but at the same time branding text that condemns people for their beliefs as somehow racist?

That is because you are creepy and unreasonable person,
        who turns your feelings of being 'offended' into a weapon, a stick,           with which you seek to beat and to harm innocent people.



Brian,

Let me explain something to you.....

Those Torah laws in the Old Testament applied to the children of Israel [the Hebrews] of that time.    ....they applied in a time 3,400 years ago.

The children of Israel had entered into a covenant with the God, their God, who had brought them out of Egypt and out of bondage [slavery] to the Egyptians.

Exodus 19:8
And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do.....


e.g.
The Old Testament religious laws that applied to the children of Israel of that time called upon the people, of the children of Israel, of that time, to keep the sabbath of the LORD, holy.


Exodus 31:14
Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15  Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.


And, that law, applied to EVERYONE who was living within the land of Israel.

It was a religious law that the children of Israel agreed to obey, because it was a part of their covenant with their God.




Brian,

There is no compunction upon Jews living in Australia today, to kill anyone who does not keep God's sabbath day holy.

Jews living in Australia obey the laws of Australia.

Why so ?

Because Jews living in Australia recognise that they are NOT living in ancient Israel.

But Jews who are living here in Australia, are living in the world.

And Jews who are living here in Australia, understand that they must obey the local laws of Australia.

Jews living in Australia, may also, themselves, choose to keep God's sabbath day holy.

But Jews living in Australia do not kill Australians because Australians do not keep the sabbath day holy.



.




WHEREAS...

The laws of ISLAM, apply forever.


And there is no exemption from the laws of ISLAM, for the moslem,
except that the moslem is allowed [by ISLAM] to pretend that the laws of ISLAM have no effect, in places where the moslem has no power to impose those laws.

as per......
Quote:

July 28, 2006
Islamic Dictionary for Infidels

...Robert Spencer, ..."Religious deception of unbelievers is indeed taught by the Qur'an itself:

"Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers. If any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah; except by way of precaution, that ye may guard yourselves from them"
(Qur'an 3:28).

In other words, don't make friends with unbelievers except to "guard yourselves from them": pretend to be their friends so that you can strengthen yourself against them. The distinguished Qur'anic commentator Ibn Kathir explains that this verse teaches that if "believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers," they may "show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly."


Google



.



ARGUMENT;


Every moslem is a latent terrorist and latent, wanna-be homicidal maniac.

How so [logically] ?



Because, according to ISLAMIC doctrine and law......

Google;
The world is divided into the House of Islam and the House of War


And, the moslem who is living in Australia, regards EVERY disbeliever [i.e. every Australian] as a 'Harbi'.

And what is a 'Harbi' ?



Harbi = = "one under a declaration of war", a non-moslem, WHO DOES NOT LIVE UNDER MOSLEM RULE.

".........A harbi has no rights, not even the right to live."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbi


A Harbi, is an enemy of Allah.


n.b.
".........A harbi has no rights, not even the right to live."

Do you believe that anybody who offends, under 18c when they insult or offend me, is "innocent" simply because they have attacked Muslims?  Tsk, tsk, and there I was, believing that you might have at least one shred of decency left in your cupboard.   Really, Yadda, you have offended me with your continual attacks on innocent people simply because they worship differently to you.   Next you'll be attack red-headed people or people who break their hard-boiled eggs at the end, other to yourself.   Are you a "big-endian" or a "little-endian"?   Tsk, tsk, tsk.    Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Are you suggesting that the Old Testament has been discarded completely by Christians, Geoff?  Really?

The Bible contains both the Old Testament and the New Testament.  Obviously, to most Christians, the teachings of the Old Testament are of equal importance to their religion, why else include it in their Holy Book?    Indeed, ask any qualified theologian and they will tell you that the Old Testament is of great importance to the Christian religion as it forms the basis on which it is built.   The Old Testament contains the history of the Jewish people but it also contains the moral lessons by which they lived and ruled their lives and by which Christians rule theirs.   To discard it the way Christians have in this forums is IMHO almost blasphemy and is wrong.   Tsk, tsk.    Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour.  Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
