This is a list I am putting together of apparent conflicts between islam and Australian values. It comes from this discussion:
http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1215058243
- Theocracy: Islam requires establishment of theocracy, but not by force. In Australia, muslims would presumably only act if they gained some power as a voting block, at which point they would set about dismantling the separation of church and state, turning Australia into a theocracy, and if the opportunity arose, making Australia part of a new Caliphate.
- Homosexualty: The penalty for homosexuality is death if you are married, 100 lashes if you are not. This would only take place once Australia became a theocracy. Very few gays would actually be executed because apparently homosexuality simply disappears under Islam. That is, it is not driven underground by the death penalty, rather men just stop having sex with each other because they are Muslims.
- Fornication: The penalty for sex before marriage is 100 lashes. The penalty for extramarital sex is ????
- Age of consent: If there is grass on the wicket, it's time to play cricket. The penalty for sex with a prepubescent child is death.
- Polygamy: A man may have up to four wives. A woman may have only one husband.
I am still not sure how 'hard' Islam requries it's followers to 'lobby' for these changes. There appears to be some confusion on this issue.
