Well for a start Henderson somehow believes Chris Harper was born an Atheist.
"but there is no doubt he was an atheist with a hatred of organised religion.
"
When in most circumstances and particularly in small town America it's more likely that Harper became an Athiest due to some negative experiences with organized religion. Bolt got extremely excited when he heard that he was asking people what religion they were before shooting them.
Bolt lead by innuendo when he first heard of Harper trying to suggest we were about to hear of yet another Islamic crime. He'd hoped so desperately to add it to his meager collection of evidence to universally condemn the faith. It didn't happen and he didn't bother to mention it again.
According to Henderson
"few if any mass murderers in the US have evoked Christian religious utterances before engaging in massacres."
So whats evil is the ritual if a mass murderer prays silently for the success of his mission that's fine. Killing 4 million Muslims doing it is justified. How many million Indians did the Spanish kill in acts of conversion in their conquest of the Americas? However if someone emits the prayer "god is great" loudly it's something else altogether an atrocity of the greatest proportion. I do believe the numbers speak for themselves. Collateral damage by Russia never exists only Americans are entitled to say sorry.
The stupidity of these two News Corp drones is highlighted by the words of the chairman of the Paramatta Mosque when both he and Shorten both agreed "if you don't like Australia then leave". They weren't just talking to Muslims but all Australians, Bolt and Henderson included. The difference between them they don't Tribalize Australians unlike Bolt and Henderson who they say don't belong. It's what Abbott did with Team Australia. It's what Bolt does with Muslims daily because they all have an inherent pathology their faith Islam and it's cultural consequences. However couple that with the voice of Bolt's cronies in News Corp
According to Bolt Muslims like the Indigenous have no right to feel angry or alienated nor do the youth in the poorest postcodes of Australia. According to them they all live in cultures that promote their disadvantaged conditions.
"immigrants or refugees – are entitled to all the benefits that
Australia offers. Including the rule of law, Medicare, free education
and, if necessary, generous welfare provisions. Muslim Australians
enjoy a standard of living that is extremely high by world standards.
Yet according to Monica Attard, Muslim Australians are entitled to feel
alienated." Why, have Bolt or Henderson even tested how hard it is to access these services? Further just how much harder Abbott is trying to make it?
However Culture of Poverty, the Indigenous and Islam just hackneyed excuses blaming the victims. It's an excuse to do nothing bu politicize them in order to hide the fact that the way we live creates the lack of opportunity to work get a proper education or housing. All these people have one thing in common that only the unions or an alternate government can can help with a common but alternative politic. Abbott failed to create jobs and his energy has been bent in destroying unions. The conditions of unemployment among youth were bad and among immigrant youth both first and second generation even worse. In no way was it in Abbott's interest to promote them as a common cause it was far better to promote their differences for political reasons and that is Bolt's craft de jour
Bolt is white washing Ben Carson for heavens sake. Why? Because he's Rupert Murdoch's favourite Republican Candidate at the moment.
For Bolt Democracy is a one way street his way. What was said to Bolt and people like him if you don't like Australia just stop whinging your free to leave. Keep your extremism out of sight it has no place here. However it wasn't Bolt who said that it was the chairman of the Paramatta mosque
Bolt prefers Australia to be primarily mono-lingual, mono- religious, mono-sexual basically, basically mono and it's Bolt who calls out and judges who should leave. However that's hardly what Bolt claims to stand for freedom of speech and beliefs. However he is the voice of hypocrisy. The Muslim leaders seem to accept that people can make that choice for themselves. Isn't that the freedom Bolt only talks about? It's always all about him never the rights of others. Democracy as a one way street.
The chairman of the Paramatta mosque was talking to his congregation yes but as Australians not as the citizens of the cultures they'd left. He was talking as Australians ought to be talked to as individuals who can make up their own minds.
“Get out. We do not need scumbags in the community.” Andrew Bolt on the other hand talks to and tribalises those individuals for him they are Muslim first Lebanese, Sudanese everything but Australian. He knows he can't get them out but he sure as hell says they are not welcome and should never have been let in. However they to are Australians. So Andrew Bolt for all your whinging in the words of the chairman of the Paramatta mosque there's no lock on the door out.
However Bolt also has another message if you don't speak English as your first language there is something very wrong and suspicious. Your understanding of the world is limited. To most people Bolt is without doubt intellectually disadvantaged. Most of the most intelligent people throughout history didn't speak English Andrew Bolt.
Is there a lie here? There certainly is 3 months before Abbott came to government Kevin Rudd commenced offshore processing and proposed the Malaysia solution. Boat arrivals plummeted. The Abbott opposition refused to pass the Malaysia solution because drownings actually were good politics. These ideas which were working to prevent the number of boat arrivals were never ever acknowledged by Abbott as the basis for him "stopping the boats" In other words Abbott didn't go against the grain he extended the policies already brought in by the ALP. That's what's called transition which Bolt denies Turnbull and calls theft.
On Climate Change Abbott has made us the Apartheid Nation of the world. On the bottom of the ladder when it comes to good global citizenship and now seen as little more than an economically self interested nation. Climate Change won't wait for us it will rebound. Instead of progressive we have become increasingly regressive and have even hamstrung Malcolm Turnbull.
Yes Abbott was disliked for "going against the grain" He appeared to everyone including his own party as also going against the interests of Australia merely for playing politics in the hope of being reelected. He came in screaming the economy, the economy. the economy and left saying he'd fixed it fixed it fixed it but purely trying to find political sideshows to avoid it all together. However enen this author contradicts Abbott. The budget wasn't fixed but only. Strange all other pundits are saying the a recession coming Abbott said he'd fixed that but DM says. " the budget on track for repair. The country is the better for all that."
Where's the grain???
Shari Markson has just stolen, no plagiarized, the attack that Fox News and and the GOP Republicans have been running against Hilary Clinton. Demeaning themselves because they have been not only caught out for constantly lying but omitting the fact that every security department have proved there was nothing suspicious to be found. If Markson ran this as a story in any Journalism course she'd fail it's an attempt at a beat up not a story. She's the Media editor for the Australian for" Christ Sakes". This is obviously a religious attack on Markson by me.
"A spokeswoman for Mr Turnbull said last night: “The majority of
government correspondence is routine and of a non-sensitive nature and
is therefore not subject to sensitive security markings.” Markson
Same words from Clinton's camp.
"
Mr Turnbull’s non-governmental email account and server pose a security
risk, exposing him to hacking and foreign surveillance. Use of private
email addresses for classified communications is prohibited by
security rules…"
Same crap the Republican's are running
LAZY LAZY JOURNALISM could have been done by a computor who needs Markson on a cost benefit analysis?
" Islam is different to all other major faiths in explicitly endorse the
subjugation and killing of non-believers. This poses a dilemma for
multi-faith democracies such as ours which believe in non-discrimination
and freedom of belief."
Has
Bolt for a single moment considered the numbers of natives killed in
the Americas by the Spanish in their act of kind conversion. Does he ask
himself what religious ideology or faith didn't stop the killing of 4
million Muslims in recent years. Did he ever ask why Islam was adopted
in so many countries without the spilling of blood but by MuFTA, the
Arabic and Muslim Free Trade history. Why was the Dutch East India Company so despised by local native populations? Just look at the numbers and ask, why is it Sydney road Brunswick and Lakemba aren't awash with blood and the crime capitals of Australia?
So
Bolt has a very qualified and particular definition of Freedom of
speech which really doesn't extend to freedom of faith or prayer in any
geographic terms in schools neighbourhoods or countries as a matter of
fact. Australia according to him needs to be a Muslim free zones.
"Why should peaceful Christians lose a freedom to worship just because Muslim groups cannot be trusted with it?"
" And so everyone loses free speech and some right to worship because Islam alone is unsafe."
" Would you rather have the immigration or the freedom?"
Go back to the top of this post and have a look at the numbers and ask yourself what on earth Bolt's talking about? The USA land of the free has freedoms written into it's constitution yet it holds
20% of the worlds prisoners. Australia is the land of the free it has
the worlds greatest incarceration of indigenous people. On any single
social indicator is there any proof than Muslims are more dangerous than Christians in this country. Other than the "fear" taught by John Howard and increased ten fold by Tony Abbott for mere political gain with the assistance of professional vilifiers like Andrew Bolt and News Corp this is meant to be the most livable place in the world.
What it does show just how calculating Abbott was keeping the inciting of fear of Muslims a domestic issue and tactic rather than making us visibly pariahs
internationally. Why isn't Bolt heard globally in all of Murdoch's papers? However notice just how much Turnbull's poll ratings have dropped because of Andrew Bolt has pointed out how he's putting us all in danger. His poll rating is plummeting now that he's not keeping us as safe as Tony Abbott did and spent so much time telling us.
UPDATE
When the chairman of the Paramatta mosque can say if you don't like it here then leave it sounds far more democratic than when Andrew Bolt says it. Why because Andrew Bolt says it of a a whole community and the Imam says it of individuals all Australians. His statement is far more inclusive and speaks for us Australians one and all and allows individual freedom. Bolt doesn't your freedom is qualified by the rejection of others.
What we have is another long post by Bolt which turns out to be just emotive rant rather than a reasoned argument against Islam. He starts in excited fashion and even leaves English behind. Bolt is meant to be a professional writer. If he can't pen English how does he expect to get any message across?
"Turnbull has virtually nothing about Farhad Jabar’s murder of Curtis
Cheng since Saturday, when he (falsely) declared it was “politically
motivated”, rather than religiously."
Children who have no point to to make tend to fall back on name calling which is exactly what Andrew Bolt does. The PM, Security forces , AFP, and police all refer to the "on going investigation "into the Paramatta shooting as a politically motivated crime under cutting Bolt's want to describe it as a clash of civilizations and a religious war. The PM has even avoided speculation by not fielding questions on what is still a matter under investigation. One thing he has done has thanked Australians for their unified help and assistance in the matter and their universal condemnation of it.
"Turnbull did mention the murder in an interview on 3AW on Tuesday,
but only to again falsely claim the terrorism was “politically
motivated” and Muslim leaders had shown “strong leadership” and been
“loud” in condemning it:"
Bolt's just standing there like the emperor unclothed yelling liar liar pants on fire. It's not political but religious. Bolt shows his total ignorance that by claiming the words "God is Great" are of themselves both terrorist and religious. They are devout and are exclusive to Islam. The saying "God is Great" is not restricted to Islam is used in daily by Christians ( Austrians), Hindus and Muslims not only when committing crimes or in an act of devotion. Jesus is screamed by Christians in any manners of situations.
Bolt's condemnation of Islam carries such underlying hatred it leaves me ashamed to be Australian. Whenever a crime is committed by a Catholic the IRA does Bolt expect the Pope or Australia's Arch Bishops to stand up and condemn it? We live in a secular state for " Christ Sakes ", there is a separation of Church and State. When the KKK went about hanging blacks the voices of white church elders weren't demanded to be heard. Crime is crime when church members commit a crime they interface with the state not the church. For "Heavens Sake" murder even when confessed to a Catholic priest remains private and not in the public realm should the priest be charged? How is it Bolt demands more from Muslims than he ever does from Christian elders. Furthermore just because Bolt demands it in the media certainly doesn't make it a valid demand. It's taken a Royal Commission to get George Pell to comment on his paedophile priests.
"But where are the leading imams of Australia on this issue? Where is the
Grand Mufti of Australia? He’s said absolutely nothing since the
murder.
"
Bolt seems to have found a Team Abbott supporter in Troy Grant who has taken the old Tony Abbott "them and us" line but then bigots do have the right to be bigots don't they. They just can't help themselves.
All this leads us to what Bolt is really on about the history of Australian immigration and the immigrant policies that have made Australia one of the unique settler nations of the world. Multicultural immigration should never have been allowed according to Bolt. It should be stopped here and now and strict assimilation policies put in place for those already here. While Bolt can't openly run white racist policy he can minimise the effects our rainbow policy by declaring Islam too culturally different to enable successful immigrant assimilation to run smoothly. Even Waleed Aly who might be a nice guy is dangerous and not truly Aussie according to Bolt. Islamophobia deals perfectly with or offers the best possible solution to a 21rst Century White Australia.
UPDATE
The Grand Mufti and the President of the Paramatta Mosque have spoken out saying extremism of any sort has no place in Australia and if you don't like it here get out. They more than Bolt expressed the fact that Australians were free to believe in any faith and have the right to pray accordingly. I believe that's as clear an invitation as Bolt can get and maybe he should take their advice.
Instead Bolt prefers to encourage members of ant-Muslim and hatred groups like the PDL to demonstrate outside mosques and to let Muslims know they are not wanted. I know who I'd prefer as a neighbor and it's not Bolt given that attitude. The President of the Paramatta mosque is far, far more Democratic than the bigoted Dutchman from News Corpse. Senior members of the Islamic community pointed to the high degree of unemployed youth in the community which isn't a particularly Muslim problem but rather a class problem in a Capitalist society. Job creation and unemployment never really handled well by Abbott. If migrants recognized their common problems with the Indigenous and unemployed and were united with the unions the unwanted isolation felt just might be alleviated. Their anger could then be directed far more precisely and turned into political action on a more united front across the country.
