What did you eat for breakfast

 

            This morning, when you smeared vegemite on your toast, you were giving money to the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils. Their use of your money is less than transparent, and I doubt that it is for your benefit or Australia’s. If the bread for your toast was made by Tip Top Bakeries, you gave more money to the Islamic Councils. Likewise if the butter was Western Star, or if you used Wescobee honey instead of Vegemite, you gave even more money to the Islamic Councils. You may not have known that your eating habits are supporting Islamic causes.

Perhaps you did not have toast, but Weetbix or Allbran or Kellog’s corn flakes, and perhaps you poured milk with the Woolworths or Coles brand on your cereal –  then you gave still more money to Islamic causes. If you finished your breakfast with a cup of Nescafe, you also gave money to the Islamic Councils.

            Most consumers probably like yourself, who have a typical Australian breakfast, have NO idea that a portion of your purchase price is being paid to Islamic Councils for Halal certification, because most companies do not advertise the fact. At least Vegemite has the certification symbol  on the label AFIC – the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils.

            Who are AFIC and what do they do? They appointed that  notorious man, Taj el Din-Hilaly, as head Mufti of Australia. A convicted criminal, and well known for his anti-Australian rhetoric (remember he called Australian women cats’ meat). AFIC received funding from Gadaffi of Libya. More recently, the NSW Minister of Education has asked the NSW police and ASIC to investigate AFIC to determine where the millions of dollars of government money given to Islamic schools has actually gone.

            To say that the use of money paid by you and other consumers to Islamic Councils for Halal certification is less than transparent is perhaps an understatement, but again, I doubt it is for your benefit. If you agree with me then please   Sign the Petition  and maybe we can start to change things.

 

When religion overrules common sense, humanity is the loser

Those  Australian sheep could have been humanely shot. Pakistan is a country full of guns and bullets.

But no, religious dogma reinforced by armed police insisted that the poor sheep had to be slaughtered in the Islamic halal way - their throats cut while conscious. Many of us saw the cruel and inhumane way that was done on the ABC  four corners programme.

Whatever the politics of the issue, it would have been so much quicker, and more humane to kill each sheep with a single bullet in the forehead. They were never going to be eaten so there was no need to kill them in the Islamic halal way. 

But  religion overruled common sense and humanity, and demanded that they had their throats cut while still alive. However it was not according to Islamic Law as the  heads of the dead animals did not face Mecca, and I did not notice the saying of Gods blessing, before trying to kill  them.

It was just blatant stupid cruelty.

The Australian government is funding a programme to educate us non muslims about Islam, to increase our understanding, well I am not sure I want to learn.

Multiculturalism or Assimilation

Multiculturalism or Assimilation?

 

Do we want immigrants to be part of Australia, or form separate communities?

       Australia has a policy of multiculturalism  

 

These real life images highlight a problem with multiculturalism.

 

 

Very few people understand what a policy of multiculturalism really means; they often think it is a policy of being friendly and welcoming to immigrants.

 

Multicultralism has:

 absolutely nothing to do with welcoming new immigrants.

 

Multiculturalism is:

"the belief that it is benenficial to a society to maintain more than one culture within its structure" 

and "that each culture has its own inherited ideas, beliefs, values and knowledge ..."  

 

Multiculturalism imposes no requirement that the immigrant should accept or follow the values of Australia or any other host country. Multiculturalism justifies a license to replicate the immigrant's old culture without any obligation to the new country of residence.

 

Multiculturalism has been a disaster in Europe, specifically with Muslim communities living as parallel societies within their host country, following their own beliefs and laws, even with 'no go' zones for non-Muslims. The Netherlands have abandoned the policy, and Germany, Britain and France declare it a disaster. 

 

 Immigration has been of  benefit to Australia, but immigrants who will not, or cannot (owing to their religion) assimilate, are of no value to Australia, and by living in their own segragated communities may even pose a threat to the host country.

 

If we do not want a break down of social cohesion, and have another set of laws based on the Sharia* system, then we should officially abandon multiculturalism in favour of a policy of assimilation. Assimilation of our values of freedom of speech, secular society, gender and social equality, seperation of the powers, rule of law, fair go etc.  

 

*Sharia is Islamic God's law -- look how the Taliban interpret that. 

 

Contact your local MP and push him or her to raise the issue. I have had the local branch of the Liberal party pass a motion to ask the Federal party to abandon multiculturalism.
