'What we're doing is pretty Australian': Muslim activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied slams Australia's treatment of asylum seekers in tirade claiming the nation was founded 'by invasion, theft of land and GENOCIDE'

The 26-year-old activist has shared her support for Manus Island detainees
Abdel-Magied said the actions of the Australian government are 'inhumane'
She has called for people to protest Minister for Immigration Peter Dutton
The tweets come less than a year after she was criticised for Anzac comments

Muslim activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied has labelled Australia as a country founded by invasion, theft of land and genocide in a rant in support of the Manus Island asylum seekers.
The 26-year-old former ABC presenter, launched the tirade on Twitter against those in power, saying that the treatment of the people on Manus Island was deeply 'un-Australian.'
Her response comes just days after news broke that 600 detainees had locked themselves inside the 'regional processing centre' without food or water as the government decided to 'discontinue critical services' on October 31, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said.

Pictures claiming to show men digging a makeshift well in the dirt in hopes of finding water have been shared alongside the news, with Abdel-Magied saying the government was 'acting cruelly, unfairly, uncourageously and without integrity.'
'Lest we forget Manus, I suggested, over six months ago. The backlash was said to be because I was unAustralian, disrespecting our history, & sullying the memory of the diggers and the ANZACS,' she wrote online.

'This isn't what they fought for, I was told. How dare you disrespect the Aussie spirit.'
Abdel-Magied was making reference to her Anzac Day tweet earlier this year which read: 'Lest we forget (Manus, Nauru, Syria, Palestine).'
She copped considerable public backlash for the comment, which was later deleted, and was criticised by Peter Dutton and Tony Abbott.

was'nt this country founded on genocide and invasion ?

http://atlantablackstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Australian-Aboriginal-Gen...

theft of land and murder of an indigenous culture and peoples ?

No - it was founded on establishing a convict colony - the Dead Kaffirs were peripheral..... just collateral damage..... and they don't actually own any land, but are part of it, unless that piece of land is a money spinner..... so they couldn't be dispossessed.. and if genocide was the intention, there'd be none of them left to complain endlessly.

If it is such a dreadful nation, what is Yassmin doing here? Even she would probably admit that it is because her family didn't think Sudan was all that nice either. But if anyone cares to compare the two, they would find that Australia society is better because the progress achieved in 200 years. Were as if you take a look at Sudan, its the same bed of ignorance and superstition it has always been.

Slavery was a part of West African 'culture' long before the White Man got there...

Slavery has been part of many cultures in the past..... but here and now in Australia we don't have slavery, and apart from the usury of wage slavery and convict free labour, we've never had it here as a formal institution.

Africans have had it for thousands of years, like the Arabs who preyed on African tribes for slaves and many others as well.

Africans have had it for thousands of years, like the Arabs who preyed on African tribes for slaves and many others as well.

Slavery was pretty much universal when Europeans gained ascendancy. It's ironic that people now think it was something unique to European colonisation, when in fact the only unique part was Europeans bringing an end to slavery. For some reason people see Europeans as some kind of cause of slavery, because when they look back through time the first they see of it is usually in European hands. But that only works if you are looking backwards.

Having adopted a religion that enshrines slavery into law, and in particular sex slavery as a principle mechanism of spreading the religion, Yassmin has to do some impressive moral gymnastics to criticise countries like Australia.
