How long before Australia will have to face Islamic "faith" in its full "assertivness"?

Just as I was rejoicing that universities were finally embracing freedom (see Democracy returns to Monash) comes the news that Monash is to build a new mosque on campus. Not only that, but the Vice Chancellor is donating $10,000 towards the project. Is it coming out of his own pocket I wonder, or would it be taxpayer money that he’s using? (Reference)

Muslims accuse Muslims of ‘unspeakable corruption’.

Islamic Women Voodoo

Continued from part 15BA

Good Women, Bad Women

The most striking aspect of an Islamic woman is that she could never be independent. From birth to death she must be under the spell of Islamic Voodoos - under the control of her male owner, also known as Wali. This wali starts with the father, then the husband, then son, then any other male relative who is eligible to be her mahram (a Muslim man who can meet her without having her to wear her veil, or with whom she could be alone in privacy).

Have a read of the following article that appeared in Brisbane’s Courier Mail on May 3-4th and see if you can spot the paragraph that very nearly made me choke on my bacon sandwich.  Warning try not to eat whilst reading you may choke too. 

IT’S A BEAT-UP: ISLAM HEAD
By Des Houghton

Just days after the September 11 atrocity in New York in 2001, the mosque at Kuraby in Brisbane was burnt to the ground. (*)

Angry young Muslims wanted revenge.  Seventy of them went to their imam, Dr Mohammad Abdalla, calling for retaliation.  “My immediate response was to tell them: Whoever did this(**), we will forgive them,” he said.

“I told them it was time to show the Islam is not violent.  I urged them to use the incident to begin a process of reconciliation.”

Dr Abdalla defused what could have been the start of an ugly religious feud. (***)

What impulses engender the desire to cover a woman with a full black body covering -- with only a small slit opening for the eyes? To discuss this issue with us today, Frontpage Symposium has assembled a distinguished panel. Our guests are:

Islamic Women Voodo - Part A

(A note of caution: The contents of this article might offend some readers)

Strictly, the topic of treatment of women in Islam, in itself, is massive. Please read other essays on this issue. Many such callous treatments are based upon superstitions, archaic, and barbaric traditions. They are nothing but ‘voodoos’ in a modern society.

In Islam, a woman is truly problematic. From the moment of her birth until her death she endures much more Islamic tyranny than a male Muslim. All these Islamic torment is inflicted on her just because of her sex and biology. When we pursue this episode, we will understand why the Islamists encapsulate a woman with so much of ‘voddoo’ burden, and why it is just impossible to reform Islam, vis-à-vis women. 

Pamela Bone and Wafa Sultan

Pamela Bone:

When she was writing for the Age we exchanged phone conversations and emails.  I remember we lamented the fact that people didn’t take Islam seriously and didn’t see its danger, where friends thought we were mad to be so against Islam and where others believed you shouldn’t dare criticise their beliefs.  We wondered why not?  Why should any belief system be free from criticism particularly one as horrific as Islam!  I still have many of her articles and I remember her clarity in recognising evil and standing against it.

The ‘there is no compulsion in religion lie’: Part C - Kill Apostates 

What greater compulsion can there be than to threaten to kill those that won’t join and those that want to leave!
Ahadith make it very plain that apostates must be killed.  Remember, Islamic laws are derived from the koran AND ahadiths.   Sometimes only the ahadith are the source for the law eg stoning- Mohammad reintroduced stoning in ahadith,  stoned people and stoning is a punishment in Islamic law.

Koranic  text (4.88, 4.89) threatens Muslims who have rejected their faith (unbelief/hypocrites) as distinct from non-believers/non-Muslims-

The organization Muslims Against Sharia is creating a new Koran with the violent verses removed. How legitimate and wise is this action? There is an effort in Turkey, for instance, to also revise Islamic texts. What real hope can these acts offer to bring Islam into the modern and democratic world? To discuss this issue with us today, Frontpage Symposium has assembled a distinguished panel. Our guests are: 

You may have wondered what the funding story was behind Griffith Uni hosting Tariq Ramadan at its recent conference entitled ‘The Challenges and Opportunities of Islam in the West: The Case of Australia’. Was it just a friendly Australian-Islamic gesture, a shish kebab barbie, a real dialogue? Well The Australian has obtained documents showing that not only big money, but mega-big money is being sought by Griffith Uni from the Saudis..

A PROMINENT Australian university practically begged the Saudi Arabian embassy to bankroll its Islamic campus for $1.3million, even telling the ambassador it could keep secret, elements of the controversial deal. Documents obtained by The Australian reveal that Griffith University - described by  as the "university of choice" for Saudis - offered the embassy an opportunity to reshape the Griffith Islamic Research Unit during its campaign to get some "extra noughts" added to Saudi cheques.  (source)

....... with  ITSELF only!

On April 15 , 2008  a nonsensical debate took place in front of a 1200 member audience.
The debate was called “Is Islam incompatible with democracy?” and was organized as a partnership effort by the St James Ethics Centre, The Sydney Morning Herald, the ABC and the City of Sydney. It was nonsensical for more than one reason. The most obvious was associated with the fact that the debate would have to automatically include a strong criticism of Islam but at the same time the rules of the debate specifically instructed to  raise issues of importance in a "respectful" manner.

A Critical Study Under The Searchlight Of Truth And Logic

During an extensive and comprehensive debate (Ghamidi et. al, 2007. p. 52) between Ji, Khalid Zaheer  and Ali Sina, the following comment was made

Ghamidi / Zaheer: “We have been informed in the Qur’an that the message of God Almighty comes to the messengers through angels”.

Ali Sina: “By whom? By the Qur’an itself? Isn’t this circular reasoning? How do you know this is true? If the Qur’an is a lie, then this claim is also a lie. We ask, what is the proof that Muhammad is a true messenger? You answer, it is written in the Qur’an.” We ask, how can we know that the Qur’an is the word of God? You say, because Muhammad said so. This is a logical fallacy, not proof”.
