*** Below is an update to the essay I included at the end of Australia Day. ***
Australians are begging Federal Parliament, State Parliaments, local councillors – anyone who will listen – to simply enforce our laws. But they’re not listening. In fact, it seems like the only people who are being heard are the politically left activists who viciously attack anyone who dares suggest that Islam is a problem.
(Islamism runs counter to every single progressive left ideology, but because the right doesn’t like Islamism, progressives continue to make excuses for it.)
I’m not anti-Islam, I’m anti-Islamist and there’s a huge distinction. I don’t care whether my neighbour claimed there were thirty gods or no God, as long as the neighbour neither picked my pocket nor broke my arm. Islamism, though, picks pockets and breaks arms and that’s why we must find a way to stop it.
As part of my research for my third fiction novel – Australia Day - I read the English version of the Quran and I can tell you that the overwhelming majority of most Muslims are good, peace-loving people.
The underlying problem with radical Islam is that it is both political and religious. It teaches that the two cannot be separated. The Islamists believe that man-made laws are inferior and must be replaced with “God-given” Islamic or sharia law and that all governments worldwide should be Islamic.
Coupled with the mandate that violence be wreaked upon all unbelievers until they capitulate to Islam’s yoke, radical Islam is anathema to individual liberty everywhere.
There is no doubt that there is an active campaign by Muslim radicals to destroy Western civilization from within – quietly, peacefully, even legally. They are working to destabilise Australia and ultimately replace the Australian Constitution with Islam sharia law. And this should bother every Australian.
