I don't know Topher Field*. But I've just watched this video above, and he speaks well. He sets out the issues and problems with the proposed "National Response to Islamophobia". Basically that it is indeed a blasphemy law.
You can't criticise Islam, because it is, well, Islam. Not so for other religions. You can make all the fun you like of them. "Jesus Christ, Superstar"? Fine. "The Book of Mormon"? Be my guest. But: "There's a problem with Islam"? Or the musical "Ma Man Mo"?... oh... no.. no, no, you can't say that! How dare you! Blasphemer! ("You are to be stoned to death!")
And to add insult to injury, the Australian taxpayer is being asked -- demanded -- to pay for their own subjugation To pay for Islamic propaganda in the schools, to pay for Islamic indoctrination in the media, to pay for Islamic promotion in the public service. We are going to pay to force ourselves to believe that "Islam is a Religion of Peace". My God Allah, what an irony!
I started this blog 16 years ago, after I'd read the Koran and found what a horrid book it is. What a dangerous book it is. What a manual for terrorism it is. What a demand for supremacism, for homophobia and for misogyny it is. Things have not got any better since then. The Koran has not got any more benign or peaceable. The demands of this tumescent, this supremacist religious idology have not gone away. Indeed, as we see from Topher Field, they have become ever more importunate.
Avast! Away with ye! We're done with Islam. At least, I am. Stop the importation of more people with a value system that hates our values, that wants to overturn our values, of an ideology that aims to install Islam as the "Only true religion" and for all our society to bend to its will.
This "National Response to Islamophobia" report is just another step on the way. If we can't bring ourselves to stop the immigration of peoples who hew to a fascist ideology (which is Islam) -- and I'm going to grant that's an impossible ask in today's multicultural western societies -- then at the very least, can we stop doing silly and self-destructive things, can we stop our suicidal moves, can we cease funding our own demise??
Just that? At least? Resist. Say NO to Islamisation.
ADDED: I've gone back on my own blog here, and found an interesting post from 2014, which remains relevant today. It's quoting Raheel Raza on the issue of Islamophobia. I see the tricks he explains are being used, every one of them, in the "National Response to Islamophobia". Raheel Raza:
Islamists have been successful in building the Islamophobia industry: it diverts attention from activities they would probably prefer not be noticed, such promoting sharia law in the West, stealth jihad and a push to implement a global Islamic Caliphate, among many others.
Any non-Muslim who questions the Islamists' intentions to promote the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood is immediately slapped with an Islamophobia fatwa [religious opinion], thus rendering most well-behaved and civil Westerners, silenced and apologetic.
This is not only racist but, for the most part, a form of emotional extortion intended to extract special concessions from well-meaning but gullible people the West.
Islamophobia is also a convenient pseudo-cause around which to whip up young followers: they are informed, whether true or not, that they have much to be aggrieved about and that the only solution is to close down free speech, demonize all who might have an opinion that differs from theirs or who ask "inconvenient" questions, and to start creating an authoritarian political movement in which they might feel a meaningful participant.
From: "The Real Agenda Behind the Combat Islamophobia push". Raheel Raza. Gatestone Institute.
"Islamophobia is an invented term". My post 10 January 2011. Yes, it was invented by the Muslim Brotherhood for the very purpose that it's being used above: to silence criticism of Islam.
