Islam destroys Aboriginality - Destructive Muslim fishermen: Part 1 of 3
Research by anthropologist Ian McIntosh shows that contact between Aboriginals and the Muslim Macassan fishermen was extremely disruptive with an evil power entering Aboriginal society for ever. The result was Aboriginals learned they were ‘black’ and came to believe they lost power and wealth to the ‘white’ other (Muslim Macassans) and will forever be impoverished and dominated! (Australian Folklore 11, 1996 131)
Islam is targeting Aboriginals by feeding them a false rosy picture of the first contact with Muslims who came to take from Aboriginal land along with false tales of ‘similarities’ etc! At a recent Brisbane conference ‘Challenges and Opportunities for Islam and the West - The Case of Australia’ (3-5/3/08), Ms Peta Stephenson presented a paper ‘Reaffirming Aboriginality through Allah: Indigenous Muslims in Australia’ promoting this rosy view, absurdly linking Aboriginality with Islam and promoting the view that the world was Muslim! In reality Aboriginality is destroyed by Islam (see also parts 2, 3 - to come).
Aboriginies of Arnhem Land ca 1920
Ms Stephenson’s claims are in blue italics, Mr McIntosh’s are in brown.
“Many Aboriginal people in Australia today are seeking to reaffirm their Indigenous identity by recovering ties to country, culture and community. The retrieval of Indigenous heritage is often narrowly understood in terms of historical accuracy, cultural purity and authenticity.”Yes sir, let’s remove that accuracy immediately and let’s try the lie that Aborigines were always Muslim (70,000 years worth when Islam only started as an Arabic religion in the 7th century or later! Ie less than 1400 years)
“As a vehicle for the reconstruction of an Indigenous identity, Islam produces not only new connections to the past, but new strategies for connecting with the non-Indigenous world in the present and future.”Yes, connecting with a barbaric, Arab supremist ideology will really help!
“Their identification with Islam has provided my Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Muslim interviewees with a constructive way of responding to the processes of cultural disruption and physical displacement.”
Is she talking about Stockholm syndrome? In fact their first contact with Islam/Muslims caused terrible disruption with the Indonesians bringing an evil force into Aboriginal existence.
Cultural disruption, alcohol (rape?) and Aboriginal efforts to cope:
Ms Stephenson notes that from the late 17th or early 18th century Muslim fishermen arrived on the northern coast. She treats us to lovely tales of warm co-operation between the Muslim fishermen and north–coast Aboriginals - never a cross word, never exploitation of Aboriginals, never use of Aboriginal females!! While those nasty whites/Europeans ‘wanted to exploit the labour and skills of local Aborigines’ and eventually stopped the trading of the Makassan ‘fleets.’
Ms Stephenson notes the Macassan traders took sea slugs and sea cucumbers to trade with China - this was Indonesia’s greatest export to China.

Reality: They went to make as much money as possible - What was left for Aborigines? Were Aborigines paid in
alcohol and tobacco brought by the Muslim‘traders’ or did they just use alcohol to render the Aborigines ‘co-operative?’ Aboriginal dreaming shows they lost wealth and power and became dominated by the ‘other’-the ‘white’ Muslim Macassans!!Islamic text tells Muslims they have the right to the land, property, women and children of the infidel and are free to rape the females. Did Macassan traders enslave and rape Aboriginal females? Were they uncovered cat’s meat?
Ms Stephenson refers to research by anthropologist Ian McIntosh on Aboriginals from the North-east of Arnhem Land and neighbouring islands, the Yolngu people, and ‘Islamic’ references but ignores the meaning of his findings.
Ian McIntosh writes of this disruptive contact:
“It concerns the arrival of ‘Indonesian fishermen in northern Australia in the early 1700s and I speculate on how Aboriginal thinkers came to terms with the new, given that atrocities were a feature of contact. ...”
He was:
“..concerned with how innovations in the Dreaming which are linked to the Macassan period are still relevant in Aboriginal lives. I investigate narratives in which Aborigines are confronted with the idea of being forever impoverished and bound in a state of dependence upon the non-Aboriginal Other and how salvation is seen to come only in the hereafter, in the paradise of a God held in common with the coloniser.”
“the Indonesians had possessions which were greatly desired — dug out sailing canoes allowing for
long distance travel along the coast; cloth, knives, and most significantly, alcohol and tobacco.”
“In north-east Arnhem Land, however, the impact was unceasing, and in any one area, Aborigines were totally outnumbered by the visitors.”
Macassan Journeys
Aborigines become ‘black’, impoverished, powerless!
McIntosh describes myths where the Aborigines (initially white and rich) became ‘black and poor’ under the influence of the Macassans who became ‘white and rich.’ Islamic text says those with white faces go to heaven, those with black faces go to hell eg Koran 3.106, 39.60. Did Muslim Macassans tell aboriginals they were ‘black’ and going to hell? Did they claim Aboriginals had broken Islamic law-nolonger ‘white’- and would be punished? Islamic text describes Mohammad as white (article Islam is racist) and prior to the Macassans, what would Aboriginals know of ‘white/black’?
Another claims an initial partnership but, due to the influence of a bad spirit, aborigines became jealous etc and trouble ensued. The totally outnumbered Aborigines were victims who blamed themselves for the trouble! Generally problems were resolved and balance returned but this was not the case this time with the Macassans.
“In one Dreaming account, in the beginning, Aborigines were ‘white’ and rich and Macassans ‘black’ and poor and the visitors worked for the Aboriginal land owners. But events were turned around when a mythological Dog (dogs are the most offensive things in Arabic Islam) representing Aborigines was rude and unco-operative to the visitors, and so the wealth of Macassans, which was seen to originate from Aboriginal land, was lost to them. From that point on, Aborigines were ‘black’ and poor and Macassans ‘white’ and rich.”

The totally outnumbered Aborigines were victims who blamed themselves for the trouble! Generally problems were resolved and balance returned but this was not the case this time with the Macassans.
Rock painting from Groote Eyelandt depicting Macassan Prau
“Now in the case of the Macassan epics, there is no return to the status quo and the way in which this change was rationalised or seen to be resolved in myth and religious practice represents a significant change in world view. As was mentioned earlier, Aborigines and Macassans were seen to be united by one law at the beginning of time. This law is associated with the mythological being Birrinydji, who was the source of all Wurramu. .....Rather, the focus will be on Birrinydji’s nemesis, a mythological being called Walitha’walitha, whose task it was to restore harmony to the land.”
“Similarly, the qualities of good and bad were always present in roughly equal proportions but since the days of the Macassans, an evil power had entered people’s lives, and it was there to stay. This Wurramu is an ever-present and powerful force to contend with and it threatens all living things and societies, whether Aboriginal or Macassan.”
“The visitors in the Dreaming narrative were alone able to maintain the law throughout this period of chaos and they said to the Aborigines, ‘From now on, we will have everything and you will have nothing.’ Aborigines would work for the visitors in a master/servant relationship, because Aborigines had broken the law that once united them.”
Macassan Prau - Early 20th Century
The problems brought by the traders were referred back to ‘something going wrong at the beginning of time.’ No doubt Muslim propaganda will claim this proves that Aborigines were Muslims but they turned away and were punished when in fact, using the mythology and understandings they had, Aborigines were simply trying to understand and explain why they were so badly treated by these Muslim Macassans!! The Macassans brought evil and disturbed the harmony of the land. Aboriginals were accused of ‘breaking the law’and thereby deserved this punishment. Living in the heavens above Aboriginal land, Walitha’walitha was said to have come down to earth to the aid of Aborigines at their time of greatest need-the time of the Macassans (Muslims).
Walitha walitha is a ‘good god’ who attempts to restore order – it was linked with allah no doubt from Macassan influence and an attempt by Aboriginals to associate the new ‘god’ into their dreaming or mythology in the hope of restoring balance. Today Walitha walitha is linked with the Christian god. Obviously if Walitha walitha really was allah he wouldn’t be helping the Aborigines against the Muslim Macassans, he would be helping the Macassans instead in subjugating the Aboriginals!
“While there is some overlap in meaning between the Aboriginal Allah and the Allah of the Islamic world, the two are seen to be quite separate. The dances associated with this being appear to be of Indonesian origin, as do the words of the songs, but Walitha’walitha is an Aboriginal creational entity associated with particular territories on the Australian mainland, and has always been there, consultants say. Belief in Walitha’walitha is not seen to be the same as belief in the religion of the Other. Walitha’walitha and Wurramu represent bodies of belief shared by different peoples, but the perspective of Aborigines is for Aborigines alone.”
“The religion of the visitors, that of Islam, became the vehicle for an Aboriginal Dreaming in which there are visions of a return to inter-racial harmony. Since the establishment of Christian missions in north-east Arnhem Land in the 1920s, Walitha’walitha has become synonymous with the Christian God, and the Wurramu with the Devil. It is therefore not surprising that Christianity, as practiced in this area, has an overtly political aspect, with belief in God being directly linked to calls for equality, justice and land rights.”
Macassans at Port Essington - Processing trepang, 1845, drawing by HS Melville
The trepang (sea slugs and sea cucumburs) were collected by spearing, diving or dredging. Divers (many of whom were Aboriginal) worked in up to 14 metres of water, bringing up 10 trepang at a time in woven bags. For dredging, dugout sailing canoes operated in pairs, scooping trepang from the seabed.
The trepang were prepared for travel by first splitting them open, boiling in seawater and pressing them under sand or stones. The body was stretched open with slivers of bamboo and preserved by sun-drying and slow smoking in smoke houses.

As a result of contact with the Muslim Macassin ‘traders’ (thieves), Aboriginals believe that:
“In the here and now, there will always be strife, poverty and domination by Others. This, I suggest, is a previously unrecorded legacy of contact between Aborigines and Indonesians.”
(Australian Folklore 11, 1996 131)
Hence, contact with Muslims wasn’t lovely but very destructive with a new language and culture inflicted on or absorbed by the victimised Aborigines who attempted to reconcile their beliefs and understandings with the situation imposed on them. The mythological Walitha walitha, since the disruption of the Muslim Macassans has been linked with the god of the ‘other’ in an effort to return to peace and harmony.
Obviously one cannot reaffirm ‘Aboriginality’ through allah unless one wants to reaffirm the inferior, dominated, abused state of the Aborigines resulting from contact with Muslim fishermen. The ‘greed, lust and violence’ that interviewees in Ms Stephenson’s work blamed on white fellas and ‘Christianity’ (did Jesus enslave, rape, steal, kill, beat – NO! Mohammad did!) clearly came with the Muslim fishermen who took from the Aboriginals! (see parts 2, 3)
Yolngu Women
Knives and alcohol traded for Aboriginal labour proved lethal, especially when combined with angry retribution over the abductions of Yolngu women. Conflict and bloodshed figure prominently in the Yolngu oral histories of the period.
Perhaps, allah is really Wurramu, the evil brought by the Macassans, an evil spreading over us all; an evil that is very racist, intolerant, repressive and abusive of women and utterly destructive of peace between people until all are either Muslim or subjugated!
What’s the chance of a critical analysis of Islam’s contact with northern Aborigines - NONE!
Ps. We also get the lovely Afghan camel drivers (How Muslim were they or did they leave Islam and the persecution and violence that continues today between various Afghani Muslim groups?) and the Malay itinerate workers and pearlers (a widespread people initially Hindu, but many sadly became Muslim). Indonesians too were initially Hindu (still in Bali), Buddhist, animist etc until Islam violently took over in the 16th century.
Parts 2, 3 Examine Ms Stephenson’s work , the absurd reasons given Aboriginal conversion to Islam and the destruction of ‘Aboriginality’ under Islam.

Thank you Dan Zaremba. I enjoy the information that you friends put out every day. Keep reporting. I can't wait to see the rest of the story in parts 2 and 3.
I wasn't aware that Muslims were taking advantage of the Aborigines, but I suppose that devilish ideology, Islam, is almost everywhere ruining lives, and destroying everything in its path. It's sad.
I wish that somehow we could harness the good so-called Muslims to help us destroy the authentic Muslims, followers of Satan/Allah. I know that many Muslims are leaving, or converting into sensible religions, but the trickle is too slow to suit me. I guess we have to be patient.

Are you daring to suggest that western civilisation is not the worst thing that ever happened to the Aborigines? You are puncturing are very great myth there, you mythbuster. So, the Muslims were nasty to the Aboriginals - not only nasty but utterly destructive? Next you'll be telling us that Muslims are challenging Mabo for THEIR land rights to Australia.
I don't quite know what to feel guilty about today. I'll have to find something else, now that I know the west has been good to the Muslims and the Muslims nasty to the Kooris.
I'm real upset - pass me another latte.

Circe,
Thank you for this. This is the first time I've read anything about this. Previous accounts have been the black armband view of history, with the villains the evil white colonialists.
Beats me how Aborigines, who've had their own culture for many thousands of years, can possibly have been originally Muslim. Mind you, it beats me how Jews and Christians, whose religions pre-date Islam, could orginally have been Muslim.
Wendy,
"Next you'll be telling us that Muslims are challenging Mabo for THEIR land rights to Australia. "
I guess that's the game plan. There is an aggressive programme to convert Aborigines, and then of course, as the original owners of the land, they can claim Australia on behalf of Islam.
You have to hand it to Islam - it's fiendishly, devilishly cunning.
If Islam claims that it should be the best because it is the latest revelation, how about Mormons, Scientologists, or some of those crazy cults?

Circe,
Someone doesn't agree with you!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RccnyY3cdyY&feature=related
When I first saw this, I couldn't believe this man could keep a straight face and utter such nonsense. I have seen many muslims talking to aborigines in Brisbane and it disturbes me that they will probably believe these lies.
I actually tried posting to a few sites with references to what Mohammed thought (S3.106) and about slavery, but my posts are always deleted!
In history at school we were not told anything about these early contacts in the NT, so this is fascinating.
Circe, I am looking forward to the next 2 episodes.

Thank you Circe. What's really important to me is that all of you take your job seriously, and it is serious. We can save lives by revealing the evils of Islam.
Little by little we will smash Islam, which I'm sure, according to the miracles, in the supernatural order, that I have witnessed, Islam came from Satan. I've noticed that Islam is completely opposite of The Ten Commandments received from the God of the Christians and Jews. THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE!! If you follow Islam to the letter, you are breaking every commandment 24/7. Islam is truly part of the anti-Christ. There is no doubt abour it in my mind.
Islam is woven in such a manner that it deceives the general public, and sometimes even learned people. I just wish Dhimmis weren't so damn stupid. However, I suspect that some of the so-called Dhimmis choose evil. Some people choose evil, and that mystifies me. The evil thugs that we destroyed, not so many years ago, confessed often that they enjoyed evil. At least they were honest. I'm sure this is also true of many Muslims, but they pretend that what they are doing is "legal," or "permissible," after all, Islam to them is "the true religion." Of course, we all know that Islam is pure filth and deleterious to society.
When Muhammad enjoyed evil, he feigned and said: "It is pleasing to Allah." Our thugs said much the same thing. They would say: "It is pleasing to Satan, our boss." That's one more reason that I'm sure Allah is simply another name for Satan, hence, Satan/Allah.
Again, thank you Circe.

You're right. Islam is the opposite of the Ten Commandments, which says you shall not kill. Islam says you shall kill anyone who is not Muslim, or even your own women if they disobey you. Or blacks, because they are inferior.
Some people are drawn to evil, maybe because at first glance it is more exciting than good. But there are consequences for our actions and if you choose evil you reap an evil harvest. Those that you say are deceived - they have a choice not to be deceived. They can read about Islam. If they choose not to inform themselves, in my book they have chosen evil and must bear the consequences.
Oswald,
Yes, Griffiths Uni - what else would you expect. That's the funny thing about these idiots. They seem to think that once Islam takes over, they'll be able to carry on as before. They won't!

I'll try to find something about it.

Dear readers, Ms Stephenson is a PhD student at Melbourne University but the conference she attended was supported by Islamist Griffith University. I discovered her work when perusing info on the 'conference'. She is either Muslim or so close it doesn't matter and in her work quickly reveals her pro-Islamic bias and anti -western/christian bias.
Any rational person knows that when one more powerful group with weapons and drugs (alcohol and tobacco)turns up en masse on your shores periodically to collect goods for their BIGGEST EXPORT, it's bad news for the locals. McIntosh's work shows that the Aborigines learnt they were black, dominated, inferior beings who worked for the Muslim Macassans who were white, powerful and 'had everything' as their wealth came from Aboriginal land!
The distressing thing is that there is not a University in Australia who will examine the negative impact of the first encounter with Islam for the Aborigines. Indeed lies and absurdly claimed 'similarities' are used to try to convince Aborigines that they are Muslim. I hope Aborigines are too smart to allow themselves to be dominated (again for Northerners) by the totalitarian Arab ideology of Islam.

I should add that if anyone wants to follow this up we would be happy to publish work that can be supported by references. I will be unavailable for a number of weeks but Australians need to know that there is another narrative with evidence, out there rather than allowing Islamic propaganda to be the only narrative!!!

Perhaps some readers might be interested to know that January 28 is considered a feast day among Catholics – actually 2 feast days are celebrated on the same day – one is of ST Thomas Aquinas, the great medieval theologian and philosopher who adapted Aristotle to the western Judeo-Christian worldview. . It is also the feast day of a lesser known person – St Peter Nolasco, the great ransomer of captives from the Muslims.
How often in conversation with a Muslim, do they quote Spain as the crowning achievement of Islam, where Muslims, Jews and Christians lived in harmony for about 800 years?
Why do Muslims insist that Jerusalem is their Holy City?
Islam is currently passing through one of its most dynamic times since its rise fourteen hundreds years ago. This dynamic period started long before 9/11 as a fierce struggle, mainly against the west, but also against any nation or group that dares to stand in its way. Most Muslims take this resurgence phase very seriously and consider it as a decisive battle between Islam and the non-Islam, or the kufr, which Mohammed told them they would win. Even though the west, currently, is largely in denial about this makes no difference to the significance of this conflict to the whole world. 
There is a very strongly entrenched view among majority of Westerners today that the three main monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam share one common God and therefore despite the obvious differences, the core foundation of these three religions is the same.
