That's excellent. Thanks for posting.

Because Jihadists have never had sympathetic front covers

The outright lying of Islamophiles is something to behold.

Foreigner with a long criminal record including attempted murder and rape charges. Exactly the type Dutton is trying to expel.

What if he was german? Would you say the same? You're quite happy to have Tommy Robinson in the country yet he's a convicted violent criminal.

Yeah, why not?

Don't think I've ever posted/uttered a word about Tommy Robinson. But you know what I'd say if I did. That's some talent.

 

[Ron The Bear]

That didnt take long.

It was a foreigner who did the killings on Friday too.

One of those murderous barbaric rapist Australian types.

Tarrant had a criminal history? Rape? Are you sure?

Isn't saying "hey this terrorist is just like many of us...was once an angelic looking kid with curly blonde locks..grew up in this little town...was working class" the right way to address it? Rather than "hey this guy has nothing to do with us, he was always different"? Surely that's more likely to lead to questions like "how did this person become a monster?" and maybe help prevent someone else going down the same path?

Steve Irwin?

Close.

Steve Irwin?

I almost replied with the exact same thing but couldn't decide if it was funny or not.

A Tale of Two Prime Ministers:

Jacinda Ardern on refugees "They have chosen to make New Zealand their home, & it is their home.”

Scott Morrison on asylum seekers “They may be a pedophile, a rapist, a murderer... carry serious communicable diseases."

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s soft focus Rolling Stone cover evoked outright lust at the time - “how could a young man so beautiful turn into a terrorist”

Compare each countries level of refugee intake and actual immigration levels.

 

[Mofra]

Compare each countries level of refugee intake and actual immigration levels.

So they should reduce right-wing immigration to stop violent attacks?
Where are the 'free speech' advocates now?

If they were to end the open borders arrangement between New Zealand and Australia I wouldn't oppose it.

Nothing to do with what they said.

I think her point is that we are not asking the same question for 'brown' terrorist.

 

[yebiga]

Love to be on the left while claiming that white workers demanding a better life than what neoliberalism has delivered is responsible for a terrorist attack.


White entitlement is part of the very structure of Australian society

https://www.theguardian.com/comment...t-of-the-very-structure-of-australian-society

Professors aren't what they used to be.
Anthropologist? - this must be from some new school of post modern Foucault anthropology.

First, the entire article is riddled with outrageous sweeping generalisations
After imaginatively creating a false dilemma - for white people - it conjures up an equally fictional response for white people, conveniently supporting the author's confirmation bias. It assumes guilt by colour, anger by colour, hate by colour. An ad hominem not remotely interested in any burden of proof, it entirely ignores complexity of any sort. The article is circular - problem cause problem - and the problem is the cause! -Whiteness!

This is a sad and embarrassing post modern screed. I can see this article will be used by History professors - some 40 years form now as an example of the insanity which possessed our culture at this time.

And the writing is also appalling.

Islamophobia seems to be at its vilest & most dangerous in Australia, America & the UK at the moment.​

That.

Your not big on staying informed outside the parameters of our home and away?

 

[smokingjacket]

Obviously that's all 'the Muslims' fault.

You might want to look at those very right wing capitalist parties you probably tend to vote for.

Total projection Mal. There's only one person here who has a history of voting for an actual racist party, and it's you.

 

[EasternTiger]

Shocked to be sitting here. Malifice voting for racist parteys?
