And take the towel with you
Feb 20^th, 2017 at 1:11am

A petition (inset) asking the ABC to sack Muslim youth activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied as the presenter of its Australia Wide program (left) has attracted more than 10,600 signatures. A right-wing group is campaigning against the Sudanese-born writer for telling the Q&A program last week her Sharia meant she was obliged to obey Australian law. She was engaged in a fiery clash with Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie (right).

Outrageous.

It sure is.

'Sharia' is discriminatory against women in that if you should happen to shake a woman's hand as is the custom in the West, you may not be able to control the instantaneous impulse to rape this loose and profligate bitch-dog Unbeliever.

But Herb are you outraged at this uppity muslim asserting that she is obligated by her religion to obey Australian law?

We are still waiting for you to cite the verse in the Quran that says she has to obey Australian laws. Roll Eyes

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

No contradiction at all, and at the risk of repeating myself, I'll let Ruby explain the point - agian...

It is clear to me that when Lambie talks of "Sharia law" she is referring to the regressive dogma enforced in the criminal codes of some Muslim-majority countries, while to liberal Muslims like Abdel-Magied, Sharia is about private, personal ethics.

It shouldn't be that difficult to make a distinction between the two and it could be as simple as qualifying the difference between criminal Sharia law, or hudud, and the private moral code.

As long as we fail to make this simple but vital distinction, Muslims will continue to be demonised and the real issue will continue to be missed.

They'll probably do what all the Muslims I know are doing right now - ignoring them.

Exactly.

There'll be 'showcase' Sharia Courts that anyone can sit in on, and then there'll be the real Sharia Courts hidden away from public scrutiny.

Yes, we know that she is claiming that but that is not Sharia law in reality is it? You cannot say that in practise Sharia law allows individuals to practise their own version of it.
