DID MUHAMMED REALLY DICTATE THE KORAN?

NEW BOOK Linguist Mark Durie has written a brilliant book: The Qu'ran and its Biblical Reflexes. No, the Koran was not written when, where and how Muslims believe. Its dialect, its place names and carbon dating of earliest copies suggest it may not even by the creation of Muhammed, and its God isn't the Christian's. Here's my interview with Durie.

The selling of Islamophobia by Christians has been obvious for a very long time and they aren't noted for doing it well. Bolt, however, helps by carrying it further and turning it into a money-making venture for Mark Drurie Anglican Pastor and Theologian. Apparently, experts in Islam who are globally recognized are more often know-nothing incompetents. Andrew Bolt who claims agnosticism not only prefers the wisdom of these Christian critiques but promotes them as the truth. Is Drurie Gods agent or the ACLs? We know the Christian Bible struggles for truth as well and it wasn't penned by the man spoken about either.
" Durie's book is meticulously researched and footnoted, and been praised already by scholars in Australia and abroad." Bolt What stands out here is that no reference is supplied by Bolt of any high praisers other than his own for this book. It's not an uncommon a habit of Bolt's to place himself in the position of being the expert and praiser sometimes the only one for the purpose of raising and promote money for these people.
However, the point to be made is that doubts about the Christian Bible by"experts" also abound but they aren't written by Muslims but generally by Christians themselves whose motivations aren't as  suspect as the Christians like Drurie who claim to be experts on Islam but turn out to be members or closely associated with political groups like the ACL, Who write for Islamophobic publications like The Spectator and gets praised by media that support these groups and their politics like News Corp and it's well-known Islamophobe Andrew Bolt. The best that can be said of Drurie is if he lies down with dogs he will get fleas not "high praise"
Where is this "high praise" Bolt speaks of but doesn't mention?



LIBERALS CANNOT WIN BY CRINGEING ON CLIMATE

GUTLESS Paul Kelly: "The Morrison government faces a revolt of ... a section of the middle class that is moralistic about climate change... The government, ­befitting its pragmatic nature, must act. [It] is planning to pump more money into the Emissions Reduction Fund." But this revolt is driven by unreason faith, so how can pragmatic concessions help?

The very thing tearing the liberals apart CRINGING = When the majority of the Liberal party listen to the electorate and won't do what the minority wants. They then do what most thugs do for attention and start yelling GUTLESS, and threatening that party majority and the electorate with FEAR of loss in the hope of gaining some paltry votes why?
These Neocons seem to believe that even if they lose they will have won over the party in opposition and if they win they can declare they were the winning persuaders the edge in the game of politics that saved everyone from the brink.
 Meanwhile, the evidence for a warming planet and extreme weather conditions is growing by the day. But the denials are louder and get more media attention than the science and have greater
 financial backing so politics outplays any logic, reason, epistemology or pragmatism.

FAINE NOT SORRY FOR SMEARING PHOTOGRAPHER

Jon Faine is one of the most biased of the ABC presenters, and that says something. And he's shameless: "Faine and the broadcaster’s management have refused for a second day to apologise for a false ­allegation ... that [Herald Sun] photographer Jake Nowakowski had 'set up' a picture involving teenage vigilantes near Wyndham Vale rail station".

Smearer Bolt smears Faine for smearing. Is that reverse smearing?
Faine posed a reasonable question it was twisted by the Herald Sun itself crying victim.
" False, and Faine - so often so quick to deflect discussion of the shocking rate of African crime in Melbourne - never offered the slightest evidence to back up his claim." Bolt
Bolt almost trips over himself eager to remind us of African crime conveniently ignoring the white reality taking place in his own blog post and the racist nature of the reporting of what was taking place.
 " While the award-winning photographer was taking shots an incident unfolded in which members of a Caucasian group with baseball bats were ­involved in a stand-off with an African-Australian group." Herald Sun
A pro-white paper interviewing white victims imagine if the ABC was there interviewing black victims what Bolt's response would be? You never find News Corp interviewing black victims only white. Readily talking about all Africans as black perps or at best doubtful, "deplorables", never really reporting white youth crime as a problem or their involvement in gang violence. Bolt has even got his jollies off laughing at the idea of a black beauty pageant and says he's not a white bogan because that's an example of how he's polite and mannered.
But then that's not Bolt's agenda his is to jump on ABC's error and make out it's purposeful and an intended biased strategy just as his is. The problem Bolt can't live without the ABC the ABC pays him notice and that sticks in his throat. What would he do without the ABC?

IS BANKS JUST A STOOGE FOR TURNBULL'S REVENGE?

CONSPIRACY THEORY Revenge against one of the Ministers who votes against Malcolm Turnbull: "Malcolm Turnbull’s son Alex has admitted he was 'involved' in a bombshell campaign by Julia Banks to unseat Greg Hunt... But he denied his father was also involved." He would say that, wouldn't he?  And how telling that Banks, a fervent Turnbull acolyte, is involved.

Bolt shows us he's a bitch basher simply because he doesn't seem to believe Julia Banks was and still is her own master.  She was never bullied according to Bolt just couldn't play the art of politics. When she did she called a traitor yet when Kelly threatened the party with doing a Banks he was called smart. Bolt swings like a dunny door in the wind.
However, he can't stop there and goes to the misogynist position she couldn't have done it without a man and that had to be Malcolm Turnbull and his son. Bollocks, the Mornington Peninsula is changing and Greg Hunt declared himself and Abbott/Dutton man when push came to shove changing his image in the Labor State of Victoria. So why shouldn't Banks see her self counter balancing Hunt with being a far less partisan candidate for the seat that's not what it used to be?
In the last post, Faine noted something suspicious going on and was kicked by Bolt and here is Bolt doing the same thing.
Hunt was and did become  Dutton's Wingman an accurate description. The fact that others in the Liberal Party believe in Climate Change is nothing new now that their jobs are at stake they are openly coming out they aren't blind idiots playing politics they are polling and listening to their electorates.
Yes, Bolt even admits to being a conspiracy theorist but he demands the leeway but refuses the same if the ABC raise suspicions. Two faced as a Dutchman saying it's his shout next round.

The banner is designed to attract  but:
The reality is simply bashing a class (women) simply because exceptions found are proof positive that there is no rule of thumb that can be delivered about men no trend no history showing socially patterned misogynistic behaviours.
In this case  a women is a liar too and the man  a victim. So Bolt runs this as generalised proof from the exceptional case of Sarah Jane Parkinson to vindicate the innocence of judge Brett Kavanaugh. To make an even broader leap  that Sociology and History are somehow fake unable to declare a "sameness" class or difference between men and women or generalizations made to explain individuals. "It is a rule that measures taken to address "injustice" to a class of people tends to mean injustice to an individual."Bolt
 It's more than a joke that it took Bolt 5 Months to find a case of a woman found lying to try to generalise the denial of generalisations. The fact is there is no correlation to be made from Bolt's 2 cases simply is fact there is no correlation to be made. A simple difference Parkinsons case was in a court of law. Kavannaughs was in a GOP hearing the court of opinion for a start.

WHEN SOME CRUELTY IS BEST NOT MENTIONED




1h2
The same reason KAK was outed as a racist is displayed here Bolt deflects the case corporate cruelty associated with a history of animal deaths not with any argument directed at the specific case or the general number of cases already witnessed. He simply changes the subject to a single case on a Aboriginal cattle station unrelated to the original argument about live export.
I'm sure the case of the cattle dying  2000 at one time and 200 7 years ago was investigated and doesn't show a pattern of deaths the sheep do. Bolt's deflection is driven by racism and not any similarities. His ingnorance lack of logic and bias show.
