THE good news for Labor is that it's pounding the Liberals in a poll on the IslamicSydney website, the most popular for Sydney's Muslims.
Of the 1463 people who have voted in this unscientific poll, Labor is way ahead of the Liberals with 26 per cent to 10.4. There's even better news for the Greens, who score 28 per cent.
But the bad news for the rest of us is that the winner, with 30 per cent, is None. None, because these Muslims think it haram, or religiously forbidden, to vote.
This rejection of our democracy by a minority of Muslims can be blamed in part on Islamic leaders here.
A spokesman for the Islamic Council of New South Wales, for example, has denounced godless democracy as the "Great Lie", and several Islamic websites have said the same.
If democracy is to come to the Middle East, and integration right here, we must expect our Muslim leaders to show the way by insisting there's no sin in voting. Even for the Greens.
Why should they vote? When their numbers get large enough, they'll just kill the infidel Aussies and take over. It's simple.
The Aussies will never let it get that far. They don't play the PC game that we do here.
Unfortunately, Political Correctness is alive and well in Australia. I'm not particularly concerned about any type of Islamic takeover - but if there was something like that brewing, I think a lot of our authorities would find it very hard to deal with because of their concerns about being seen as racist.
How unfortunate. I imagine we will have to take matters in our own hands soon enough.
