Media Release | Islamist terror imports must stop
Islamist fundamentalism has no place in Australia and those who would bring it here must be prevented from entering the country.
One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson, responding to yesterday’s terror attack on a Christian bishop at a church in Wakeley, said Labor was ignoring the danger of importing Islamists to shore up votes in western Sydney seats held by Federal ministers.
“What we’re seeing in countries like the UK, France and the Netherlands – which have allowed huge numbers of immigrants from countries where this appalling ideology is rife – is that too many of these people do not adopt the laws and values of the countries they settle in,” she said.
“Instead they demand their fundamentalism is simply accepted and adopted in their new countries, and they employ violence or radicalise young people into violence in perverse attempts to achieve this end or attack those who oppose them.
“Islamist ideology, which seeks to impose fundamentalist Islam across the world, is completely incompatible with Australian values of freedom, democracy and religious tolerance. People who have been immersed in this ideology in their countries of origin despise our values.
“The result is terror attacks in Australia, as we saw in Wakeley last night, extremist Islamic preachers in Australia calling for jihad and death – and getting away with it – and the intimidation and violence we’ve seen directed at Jewish Australians since 7 October. The most effective solution is to ensure people with such ideology are never permitted to come here, but Labor doesn’t care about the threat they represent and continues to import this ideology to Australia to shore up support for its western Sydney MPs, where many of these people end up living.
“This ideology is rife in many parts of the Middle East, including the Palestinian territories where the Albanese government has fallen over itself to hand out visas so people who overwhelmingly support the terror group Hamas can escape the consequences of Hamas’ terror attacks on Israel. When will the major parties wake up and stop importing people and ideologies that are completely incompatible with Australia and its way of life?”
