Then he told me I was a really good and hard worker but that I could not continue being employed there unless I take off that scarf ...I asked him 'Are there any other reasons why you wouldn't give me this job?' He said 'No. You're a really nice person and a hard worker but I don't want to bring religion into my laboratory'.<br /><br />Some women felt they had to bow to pressure from employers and remove their hijab so as to secure employment.<br /><br />I was unemployed for about two years.

For example, a young Muslim woman working in an Adelaide pharmacy was told by her employer that she was not allowed to wear her hijab to work. 'I just wear my uniform, put my hijab on. When I get there [work] I take it off, go to work, and as soon as I leave I put it back on.' ... A receptionist in a Melbourne real estate agency was threatened with dismissal by her employer's wife who said, 'Don't come anymore unless you change the scarf'...<br /><br />Many Muslim women working in fields such as law and medicine felt that employers and colleagues saw them as less intellectually capable or professionally committed compared with other staff if they wore traditional Islamic dress...<br /><br />A number of participants described law firms as being among those who use the hijab as an excuse for refusing to employ Muslim women.<br /><br />They would never employ you in a commercial law firm with the hijab ...

The officer intervened, and Arango pulled out a gun and shot Widman in the face, killing him. Officers then chased Abel, he fired at them, and they killed him ...<br /><br />Is it racist, i.e., is it <span style="font-style: italic;">morally wrong</span>, to speak of "Negro savages who are roaming about at liberty in our society"? No ...<br /><br />Indeed, I am acting according to the Kantian categorical imperative, speaking the way I think <span style="font-style: italic;">everyone</span> should speak. If our whole society began to declare plainly that predatory black savages are running loose among us and that this is totally unacceptable, <span style="font-style: italic;">then</span> we would start to do something about it, and many innocent people, white and black, would be saved, and many families, white and black, would not be destroyed. But so long as the reality of this race-specific savagery is daintily covered up, society will remain passive and helpless, absorbing one black murder after another, forever.<br /><br />Civilization is the opposite of savagery. Therefore part of what defines civilized people is that they oppose savagery and do not tolerate it. And to oppose it, they must speak truthfully about it. So let's forget about the superficial contemporary "civility" that never calls unpleasant and dangerous things by their proper names, and so allows aliens, enemies, and savages to take over. Instead of practicing such "civility," let us stand for civilization.</blockquote><div style="text-align: center;">Are we witnessing some lurching here in Australia?<br /></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Andrews releases 'evidence'</span><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirj4OYPLv0ckxjTHRGSfNy5OXj6SceYgKEGlj2PshAMCWvgwKTlI0Xfv2s-Scv5hpCv_s1thxYM1_34lg5AvxNg54NoPiSLwVQNBl0X0pCzI7xXmf32ZWVUYHeKYF9g4nJsAPE0yvQV9Hb/s1600-h/kevinandrews.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirj4OYPLv0ckxjTHRGSfNy5OXj6SceYgKEGlj2PshAMCWvgwKTlI0Xfv2s-Scv5hpCv_s1thxYM1_34lg5AvxNg54NoPiSLwVQNBl0X0pCzI7xXmf32ZWVUYHeKYF9g4nJsAPE0yvQV9Hb/s200/kevinandrews.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225441846613362050" border="0" /></a>Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews has released a summary of allegations against African migrants which he says contributed to his decision to slash the number of refugees Australia accepts from the region ...<br /><br />"Concerns about the establishment of race-based gangs, reports of altercations between African groups in nightclubs and at community functions, disagreements among prominent African community organisations over accusations that some are receiving favoured treatment in accessing community services," he said...<br /><br />"Tensions have arisen between some African families involving conflict and assault, concern among some community leaders as to the increase in crime among some African youths, and reports of a developing trend of young African males congregating in parks at night, often to consume alcohol." ...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Door 'shut but not locked' to Africans</span><br /></div><br />Mr Andrews said pretending there was no problem was not going to help the refugees.<br /><br />He said many of the refugees were young men in their teens and 20s who had an education level equivalent to grades two or three in primary school.<br /><br />"Many of them have spent up to a decade in refugee camps and much of their lives in war-torn situations, then they have to settle in a country with a culture vastly different from where they came from," Mr Andrews said.<br /></blockquote><div style="text-align: center;">And the response?<br /></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Immigration Minister 'racist': Bligh</span><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2GgccfeIj7jtpApMIzIAGAgEMN7T3AhyqVvrhZHpmgrG0NGRPJi_noOy7ly450P9gsUOMKY1mIf2wc-ssEfomZD1Fz4nMGiqoaEwpBJEST5JTgs9CBhoUXGupDO1qRYcN6vWxjusQ74tz/s1600-h/annabligh.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2GgccfeIj7jtpApMIzIAGAgEMN7T3AhyqVvrhZHpmgrG0NGRPJi_noOy7ly450P9gsUOMKY1mIf2wc-ssEfomZD1Fz4nMGiqoaEwpBJEST5JTgs9CBhoUXGupDO1qRYcN6vWxjusQ74tz/s200/annabligh.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225439975235939602" border="0" /></a>Premier Anna Bligh has launched a scathing attack on Federal Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews, describing his comments about the Sudanese community as "racist" and as coming from the "deep south of America in the 1950s" ...<br /><br />"It has been a long time since I have heard such a pure form of racism out of the mouth of any Australian politician.

While Afghanistan's constitution embraces international human rights conventions that guarantee freedom of worship, it also codifies the role of Islamic Sharia law — under which Abdul Rahman was charged. And even while Washington ... urged Kabul to drop the charges, public opinion on the streets of Afghanistan ... showed strong support for legal action against the convert ...<br /><br />But it was not in recognition of "universal values" that Abdul Rahman was released. Instead, authorities cited insufficient evidence, insinuations about his mental state and even questions raised by the authorities over his citizenship. The legal basis for charging someone for converting from Islam to Christianity has not, thus far, been altered — the political conflict that from having U.S. troops trying to protect a government that can't guarantee the right of its citizens to choose the same faith as the President of the United States has simply been kicked down the road ...

Obviously we do not have the ability to modernize or democratize a society ruled by a religion that executes people for expressing opinions. Nor do we have the ability to destroy that religion, short of destroying the country and killing most of its people. Nor do we have the ability to assimilate the followers of such a tyrannical religion into our society and into any international order that recognizes basic human rights and liberties. What then can we do? We should withdraw our forces from that country, and end our connection with that country, while promising that if a regime, such as the Taliban, comes to power there that threatens us, we will return and destroy it. (Or alternatively we should wage a standalone war of extermination against the Taliban, without connecting that war with support for the existing sharia government.)

They all report simultaneous mutinies of their Muslonian crew members. The Muslonians have broken a number of Starfleet protocols by abandoning their uniforms, using their own language, insisting on visual customs and displays of worship, showing intolerance of fellow crew members, forced conversions, and outbreaks of violence.<br /><br />USS Australia's own small number of Muslonian crew members have been exhibiting early signs of similar behaviour, which I had dismissed as the normal settling-in period of integrating an alien culture. But it seems the Muslonians pose a genuine threat, unlike any other life-form Starfleet has encountered.<br /><br />Australia has successfully integrated a number of crew members from previously encountered alien life-forms such as the Vulcasians, Romtalians, and Greekons. With heavy casualties over the years, however, Starfleet's original crew has been replaced by a mix of various cultures. I fear we may have reached critical mass, where there is no overarching culture into which the Muslonians are forced to integrate.<br /><br /><span>Six months ago we came upon the Israelians who warned us sternly of a Muslonian uprising if their numbers continue to grow.

When the Muslonian population gets to a critical mass you have problems. That is a general rule, so if it applies everywhere it applies on USS Australia ... Where there are large Muslonian populations who are prepared to use violence you are in trouble. If there is only 1 or 2 per cent they don't dare to do it ... French crew say they are strangers on their own vessel. This is a point of no return.</blockquote>Today I received stark communications from Admiral John Stone (retired) to indicate we may have made a grave error in thinking the Muslonians would be assimilated like other aliens:<br /><span><blockquote><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRXR5W_9bkQJj4FfBVWPXgH8lOYzCft4qa7z-SQlQ1U_jcftVwZ8_OWSlmKQxckSqJGXE3gxuQU626Nbz-AKYjZ1VY8y_g2ISHf6pe7hyk1ZG96OqaMCNYEd8A2czNyjVJlMgihH2i29g6/s1600-h/stone.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRXR5W_9bkQJj4FfBVWPXgH8lOYzCft4qa7z-SQlQ1U_jcftVwZ8_OWSlmKQxckSqJGXE3gxuQU626Nbz-AKYjZ1VY8y_g2ISHf6pe7hyk1ZG96OqaMCNYEd8A2czNyjVJlMgihH2i29g6/s400/stone.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197173402338767186" border="0" /></a>... while I am open to correction, I believe the evidence is incontrovertible that Muslonian and Starfleet cultures are today, within any single polity, incompatible. Certainly, I know of no example that can be cited to the contrary ...<br /><br />There is an old adage that, when you are already in a worm hole, reverse thrusters. The entry into Starfleet of Muslonians over the past thirty-five years or so means that we are now in a hole. The first thing to do, then, is to stop digging. We should curtail very sharply, to the point of virtually halting, the further entry of Muslonians within our immigration programs. That will be attacked as “discriminatory”, and so it is. We have every right to discriminate against the admission to Australia of people of any culture that we believe will be incompatible with the peace, order and good government of our vessel.</blockquote></span><span>So why is Australia boldly going where no democracy has gone before?</span><span><br /></span><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kirk:</span> I take it the odds are against us and the situation is grim.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Picard:</span> You could say that.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kirk:</span> Sounds like fun!<br /></blockquote><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyHud6hr1SV9yJQ4MzwDywiEiO1M-Q98l9RdeaGkddpJlfblp9_MAFL5_pZeU3uU8YPQx6wq0HTwohNIHJ6N01jd4IYvYub8Yd2LZh0e7w6ZTLhVVaiXZg1VP_6ATWZ506W-KpKOxcJ-Pq/s1600-h/xkirk.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyHud6hr1SV9yJQ4MzwDywiEiO1M-Q98l9RdeaGkddpJlfblp9_MAFL5_pZeU3uU8YPQx6wq0HTwohNIHJ6N01jd4IYvYub8Yd2LZh0e7w6ZTLhVVaiXZg1VP_6ATWZ506W-KpKOxcJ-Pq/s200/xkirk.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091890990324468594" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Fun, huh?<br /></div><span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />References:<br /><a href="http://www.quadrant.org.au/php/article_view.php?article_id=2207">John Stone</a><br /><a href="http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/limit-muslim-migration-australia-warned/2007/02/15/1171405374552.html">Raphael Israeli</a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><br /></span></span>Squalid Shoeboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00386246455480907460noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115111221592419847.post-43459834223053858172007-07-27T07:51:00.000-07:002008-05-12T08:48:02.085-07:00The Turkey Paradox - Muslim and Islamophobic<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBcrmbzhqbm9aJea30X-aXqhds9zsJEfY9zWFZP3_buRtNeUipj54uQQDm-EboaZYYmct0_XABfMIx9ftV7hXXYz5i24mQM9xAb-T9XzmfG5IHj6Yxi7c6aSylXEd14_bB-kfJjUEBZCmb/s1600-h/22.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBcrmbzhqbm9aJea30X-aXqhds9zsJEfY9zWFZP3_buRtNeUipj54uQQDm-EboaZYYmct0_XABfMIx9ftV7hXXYz5i24mQM9xAb-T9XzmfG5IHj6Yxi7c6aSylXEd14_bB-kfJjUEBZCmb/s400/22.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088909350737199250" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fatma</span> [reading paper]: Mustafa, the Islamalists are back again.

Kemal Ataturk was from Rumelia and so were most of his supporters, and they imposed the modern Turkish Republic on a somewhat relunctant Anatolia, where Ataturk’s distinction between the state and Islam was never accepted. In its 80-year history, the population has increased from 14 million in 1923 to 70 million today, but the vast bulk of that population growth has come from Anatolia, whose population has migrated from the rural hinterland to overwhelm the once solidly Kemalist cities.<br /><br />Ataturk’s modern secular Turkey has simply been outbred by fiercely Islamic Turkey. That’s a lesson in demography from an all-Muslim sample: no pasty white blokes were involved. So the fact that Muslim fertility is declining in Tunisia is no consolation: all that will do, as in Turkey, is remove moderate Muslims from the equation too early in the game.</blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mustafa</span>: (sigh) <span style="font-style: italic;">Damn</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> those moderates!</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Fools!

First, it has left all immigrants abandoned, and none more lethally so than young Muslims. For if there is no longer an overarching culture, there is nothing into which minorities can integrate ...<br /><br />Second, and worse still, multiculturalism has reversed the notions of truth and lies, victim and victimiser. Since minorities can do no wrong, they cannot be held responsible for acts such as suicide bombings which must instead be the fault of their victims. This key confusion, which has caused intellectual and moral paralysis in the west, plays directly into the pathological Muslim victim culture which makes dialogue impossible ... This fundamental untruth has created a dialogue of the demented.</blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Christian</span>: Are you finished gloating?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Muslim: </span>Almost.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Christian: </span><span>What now?</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Muslim: </span><span>You should have also listened to Winston Churchill ...<br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><blockquote><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_SambzdbwRW0bfkgjy08uVeFfJdQLM6Id9zSmtehN3ow9SnK39pXvUu_lrcg4ntZAoqrMuLy5-XGgDk3dOsG5k9Ou-wiXjyt5xhIGuZGkp8yNU-iMI1bEFxJoQIOYsGQK2TCd5MzfJt3c/s1600-h/churchill.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_SambzdbwRW0bfkgjy08uVeFfJdQLM6Id9zSmtehN3ow9SnK39pXvUu_lrcg4ntZAoqrMuLy5-XGgDk3dOsG5k9Ou-wiXjyt5xhIGuZGkp8yNU-iMI1bEFxJoQIOYsGQK2TCd5MzfJt3c/s200/churchill.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197200331783713250" border="0" /></a>If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you with only a precarious chance of survival.
