Commentator Candace Owens has reportedly been blocked from entering Australia ahead of a planned speaking tour.
Australia's Minister of Home Affairs, Tony Burke, canceled Owens' visa this week, saying her planned visit had to capacity to "incite discord."

Indeed.
She being uppity??
Clearly they are racists who cannot accept a strong black woman.
That’s how this is done, right?

North African Muslims did start the Atlantic slave trade.
They were also quite active in the white slave trade, raiding across the Mediterranean.
“claims that Muslims started slavery”
Did she really claim that? Slavery is about as old as humanity; Islam not nearly so.
And before the Muslims, the Egyptians held slaves, until Moses delivered them from bondage 3500 years ago.
But you cannot say that in Australia, lest you offend their very fragile snowflake sensibilities.

Slavery has been endemic across all societies until modern times
Actually, they did not start the Atlantic slave trade, but they did supply it. The first Europeans to explore the coast of sub-Saharan Africa were Portuguese sailors who discovered slave trading posts along the coast put there by North African Muslims. The Portuguese thought, “Gee these would come in handy for our colony in Brazil.” And so it began. Then the Spanish, and next the British followed along.
They did her a favor. Why would anyone want to go to Australia?
Maybe Hawaii should ban the loud mouthed, usually drunk, obnoxious, and belligerent Aussies who visit.
