The problem wasn’t Abbott or us. It’s Islam (Australia)

LAST Friday morning — just before Curtis Cheng was murdered — Malcolm Turnbull revealed he would be more sensitive in tackling terrorism.

Gone would be “the blunt and often divisive language used by his predecessor Tony Abbott”, The Australian reported, clearly briefed by our new Prime Minister or his team.

Abbott’s rude talk had just “alienated many in the ­Islamic community”, and “Mr Turnbull will adopt a new, more inclusive tone”.

This was just what the media Left had claimed to want when it was looking for excuses to kick Abbott.

How those journalists had savaged Abbott for what they gleefully claimed was his politically motivated scaremongering about terrorism and his “inflammatory” and “divisive” language — language that actually seemed plain common sense.

How dare he alienate Muslims by asking them “to be part of Team Australia”?

How dare he suggest Muslim leaders did not condemn Islamist terrorism strongly enough, even saying that although Islam a religion was of peace, “I wish more Muslim leaders would say that more often and mean it”?

And how crass to keep referring to the headhacking Islamic State death cult as, er, a death cult?

See, phrases like “death cult” just upset Muslims, protested journalists and Labor.

And Turnbull whispered that, too, as he privately white-anted Abbott.

Sometimes Turnbull didn’t just whisper it, either. In July, he shouted it in a speech, warning people “over-estimate” the jihadist threat.

“It’s easy to sensationalise these scoundrels, these criminals, and we need … to be careful that we are not amplifying their own work, their significance,” he said loftily.

But he wasn’t talking about Abbott, he protested.

But he was, of course, which Friday’s news story now proves.

Well, let’s go back to Friday.

That afternoon, 15-year-old Farhad Khalil Mohammad Jabar went to his Parramatta mosque.

Americans need only look at Australia to see what the future holds in regard to the muslim influx. “Only the foolish learn from experience — the wise learn from the experience of others.” Romanian proverb. An this, “Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.” Benjamin Franklin

“sensitive in tackling terrorism”
Respect the feelings of the neck-slicers? Talk nice so as not to offend the gang-rapists? Tone down the criticism of those who push homosexuals off tall buildings? Go easy on the crowd that flies occupied planes into occupied buildings?

Insanity.

It seems every western country now has sizable populations of unassimilable young Muslim males who express their lack of progress by killing non-Muslims.

There are still large numbers of pols, usually lib/leftists, who can't grasp that basic fact. Until their countries are submerged by the Islamic scum, and then it's too late.

I don't know how many Muzzies there are in Australia, but I hope the average Australian knows the score. The disgraceful ousting of Abbott was very distressing.

Told you he’d be much more ‘accepting’ of Islam and Muslims...

white-anting = undermining. It’s a common term in Australia, derived from the fact that termites are also called white ants and they can undermine the foundations of a house.
