Australia's Catholic PM Malcolm Turnbull is particularly wrong to suggest a key moral teaching of Christianity – a “golden rule” – is that of Islam, too.

Opinion: Reform Islam and make it safe for our multi-religious secular democracy

MALCOLM Turnbull is very right to reach out to Australian Muslims. He is wrong, though, to tell untruths to non-Muslims.

And the Prime Minister, a Catholic, is particularly wrong to suggest a key moral teaching of Christianity – a “golden rule” – is that of Islam, too.

Last week Turnbull urged “mutual respect” between Muslim and non-Muslim Australians, even though most of the disrespect so far – as measured by bomb plots, sieges and attacks on police – seem to come from the extremist Muslim side.

Still, mutual respect is indeed critical if we’re not going to kill each other, so give Turnbull credit for at least winning the trust of many Muslim leaders.

But to back his appeal he added this: “Every religion, every faith, every moral doctrine, understands the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

THEIR ABC Still pondering just how children could be induced into Islamic Terrorism... after all Islam means Peace doesn't it?

Too many of us have forgotten how Christianity shaped our society and are blind to how the Koran created radically different societies.

If we don’t understand those things, we’re clueless in dealing with the cultural clash we’ve so recklessly imported into our own suburbs.

What Turnbull claims is the “Golden Rule” of all faiths, is in fact a direct quotation from only one – from the Christians’ New Testament.

Luke’s Gospel quotes the alleged words of Jesus Christ himself: “Love your enemies ... If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also ... Do to others as you would have them do to you.”

These are powerful words of immense resonance in Christian countries.

It’s this ideal that gives such moral weight to Turnbull’s offer of “mutual respect” to a community which has produced 21 jihadists jailed for terrorism offences, and three more shot dead during attacks.

But contrast Christ’s “golden rule” and turning of the cheek with the Koran’s commands to strike hard at the enemy: “The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger ... will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land.”

True, the sacred Hadith do quote the Muslims’ prophet Muhammad, founder of their faith, stating: “None of you have faith until you love for your neighbour what you love for yourself.”

But that version of the “golden rule” seems limited to fellow Muslims, and has been interpreted that way by many scholars for many centuries.

No wonder, given that the Koran and Hadith give repeated examples of Muhammad and his followers killing his critics, including even women and poets who mocked him. No turning of the cheek there.

In vivid contrast, Christ would not let his disciples fight even to save him from capture and crucifixion.

There is another critical difference between the two religions that has helped set up this clash here of Christian and Muslim cultures.

The Jesus of the Gospels drew a line between church and state, which is why the Christian West has secular governments, not religious ones such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, which even bans the public practice of Christianity.

 As John’s Gospel notes: “Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews’.”

In the Koran, the message is very different. Muslims should live under Muslim law where possible: “Allah hath sent down no authority: the command is for none but Allah ...”

This is why extremists refuse to stand in court for our judges or call our democracy “haram” – sinful. Moreover, the sacred Sahih Muslim urges Muslims to make nonbelievers submit to Muslim rule.

“Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them,” it says. “If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya (a tax on unbelievers) ... If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them.”

True, many Muslims do not live up to these ideals and don’t want to, either.

But it is foolish to pretend these Koranic teachings don’t exist or aren’t influential.

For instance, ISIS quoted holy scripture at least 25 times in its infamous statement last year ordering Muslims around the world to kill unbelievers – to “smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car”.

Those quotations included this, from the Koran: “Kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush.”

Last week gave another example of Muslim preachers citing the Koran to urge the killing of unbelievers.

Israel’s Jews have suffered a wave of stabbings by young Muslims over the past fortnight.

On Tuesday alone there were four attacks. In the worst, two men boarded a public bus, locked the doors and shot and stabbed passengers, killing two.

In another, a driver rammed his car into people at a bus stop and jumped out to hack at his victims with a knife, killing an elderly rabbi.

What motivates such savagery?

Here’s a clue. Giving the Friday sermon last week at the Al-Abrar Mosque in the Gaza strip, Sheikh Muhammad Sallah waved around a knife and shouted for Muslims to stab Israeli Jews.

“Attack in threes and fours,” he bellowed, and “cut them into body parts”.

“Some should restrain the victim, while others attack him with axes and butcher knives.”

And to justify this slaughter he quoted the example of Muhammad himself – “recall what He did to them in Khaybar” – in attacking and subjugating a Jewish tribe in a battle in 629.

Yes, moderate Muslims insist other parts of the Koran invalidate the passages quoted by extremists.

Good luck to them. Let’s back their attempts to reform Islam and make it safe for our multi-religious secular democracy.

But to reform Islam we must first admit there is something to reform. We cannot pretend, as Turnbull does, that Islam is as cheek-turning as Christianity.

Leave Islam out of the discussion and we’re just left with all this useless yammer about terrorism just being about “marginalised” youths facing “discrimination” and needing only a job or sympathetic ear to become as peaceful as, well, Buddhists or Presbyterians.

And we then we get the list of demands from people from whom more should be demanded – demands to ban criticism of Islam, to issue more grants and to scrap foreign policies that help Israel or hurt Islamist groups abroad.

No, Islam needs reform.

Without that, we’re left only with only two dark choices: submission or even more policing of our streets and our tongues.

Camera Stolen in Protest
Brenden Hills
The Sunday Telegraph
October 11 2015.

A PHOTOGRAPHER caught up in clashes between pro and anti Islamic protesters yesterday had his camera stolen before being arrested.

Franc Titan said he went to religious protests in Bendigo, Victoria, “to capture that magic shot” but found himself in the middle of a pro-Muslim protest line just after midday.
“Three of them attacked me and then one jumped on me and ripped my video camera out of my hand,” Mr Titan, 49, from Ballarat, said. He complained to police but they pulled him over a barricade.
He was arrested and taken to the police station before being released without charge.
“It’s pathetic,” he said. “I had my equipment stolen and the best they could do was drag me over the fence.”

The Islamic Paradise of Allah For Dummies

So Glad that the issue of those 72 Virgins has been clarified, I have to admit it had me thinking.

And for the Rainbow People

Homosexuality was and is widely practised in Islamic countries. 

To please the homosexuals among his followers he promised them pre-pubescent boys in Paradise. So after committing plunder, loot, rape and murder in this life, the followers of Islam get "rewarded" by untouched virginal youths who are fresh like pearls.
(QURAN 52:24): "And there will go round boy-servants of theirs, to serve them as if they were preserved pearls."
(QURAN 56:17): "They will be served by immortal boys."
(QURAN 76:19): "And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls."
It is common in Arabic poetry to glorify homosexuality, take their famous poet Abu Nuwas:
O the joy of sodomy!
So now be sodomites, you Arabs.
Turn not away from it--
therein is wondrous pleasure.
Take some coy lad with kiss-curls
twisting on his temple
and ride as he stands like some gazelle
standing to her mate.
A lad whom all can see girt with sword
and belt not like your whore who has
to go veiled.
Make for smooth-faced boys and do your
very best to mount them, for women are
the mounts of the devils
One of the reasons Nietzsche hated Christianity was that it "made something unclean out of sexuality", whereas Islam, many would argue, was sex-positive. One cannot imagine any of the Church fathers writing ecstatically of heavenly sex as al-Suyuti did, with the possible exception of St Augustine before his conversion.
In our Western world where many scientist purportedly believe in Evolution when in fact they do not inside, it is reported that when confronted with a question on this dichotomy of mind, their usual answer is: "I must believe in Evolution and reject Christianity for Christianity limits my sex life".
It seems then that this promise of sensual happiness and sexual bliss in paradise, not only is the motivator for the Islamic terrorists but it may even be a motivator for our secular evolutionists to join the rank of Islam.

Australia's Leaders and Police lying about Islamic ASSASSIN Farhad Jabar’s Motivation for Killing Mr Curtis Cheng.

Police and politicians lying about what inspired Farhad Jabar’s Parramatta police shooting

Andrew Bolt
Herald Sun
October 7, 2015

THEY treat us like fools. Police and politicians are telling untruths about what inspired Farhad Jabar to kill.

Those untruths are meant to build trust with Muslim Australians, which we need. But everyone else will wonder: “What other lies are we being told?”

Consider: Iranian-born Jabar went from his mosque to the Parramatta police station where he shot a Buddhist accountant and shouted “Allahu akbar” — Allah is the greatest. In his backpack was a letter reportedly containing Islamist extremist literature.

Police have raided Farhad’s mosque and are checking sermons given there. They are also investigating an alleged ring of sympathisers of the Islamic State, which quotes the Koran to legitimise the murder of nonbelievers.

“Kill the polytheists wherever you find them,” goes one such passage in Islam’s holiest text.

Yet police and ministers of the Turnbull Government still pretend this murder was not religiously inspired, but politically.

“This appears to have been an act of politically motivated violence,” claimed Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop agreed this was “a politically motivated killing”.

Even NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione repeated this deception: “We believe (Farhad’s) actions were politically motivated and therefore linked to terrorism.”

Excuse me, but what political party did Farhad represent? Who is this “Allah” — a candidate at the next federal election?

Deputy Police Commissioner Nick Kaldas kept up the act on the ABC’s 7.30, claiming Muslim youths such as Farhad were “doing this simply as a way to rebel”.

“In a sense, they’re not really religiously driven. I wouldn’t say they’ve studied the Koran and come to some firm views … It is a rebellion.”

True, many children of all faiths rebel, but most don’t rebel by shooting or stabbing our police, or supporting terrorist groups that slaughter unbelievers and hack off heads.

That’s a script we don’t see Buddhist or Presbyterian Australians following. But it is one followed by hundreds of Muslim Australians, who quote the Koran in justification.

Yet the Government won’t discuss the links between Islam and terrorism, saying it is determined to “reach out” to Muslim Australians.

But keeping quiet about Islam doesn’t merely take the pressure off Muslim leaders to reform their faith. (Anyone heard from the Grand Mufti?) It destroys the trust of other Australians in the authorities meant to protect them, not least when choosing who to let into our country.

The Government’s policies left even the usually frank Concetta Fierravanti-Wells, Assistant Minister for Multicultural Affairs, performing strange contortions in my interview with her on 2GB on Tuesday.

Full interview and comment with Steve Price and Andrew Bolt

Bolt: Why is Malcolm Turnbull — and Julie Bishop and Andrew Scipione — calling what happened politically motivated violence when the boy was shouting “Allah” when he shot the unfortunate police accountant?

Fierravanti-Wells: Well, Andrew, I think the Prime Minister today … referred to it as politically motivated and then said “and that’s terrorism”.

Bolt: Yes, the word that is missing here is “religious”.

Fierravanti-Wells: Well, Andrew I think there will be things that are going to come out as part of the inquiry …

Bolt: I find it amazing that … the Government keeps calling it a politically motivated attack and not a religious one and I just want to know why.

Fierravanti-Wells: I think, Andrew, that this is an ongoing investigation … Look, there is no doubt that the motivation is a very important issue. People want to know what motivates a 15-year-old boy to walk down a street ...

Bolt: Shouting “Allah”.

Fierravanti-Wells: ... shouting whatever he is alleged to have shouted.

Bolt: You see, you can’t even say what he is alleged to have shouted. He shouted “Allah”.

Fierravanti-Wells: He shouted what he shouted and did this and it is really important that we do understand what is the motivation.

Get the impression the Government actually has no interest in the motivation if it’s Islam?

Notice how it prefers to talk about everything but — about the “marginalisation” of Muslim youths, the “divisive” language of former prime minister Tony Abbott, the need to “engage” Muslim parents, the creation of more “deradicalisation” programs.

Easy stuff. But largely peripheral stuff. It’s like searching under a street light for your lost key, because it’s too dark where you actually dropped it.

Yes, I understand the Government doesn’t want to alienate the many law-abiding Muslims. It does not want rednecks hitting back. It needs the trust of Muslim parents to help stop radicals.

Yet much of this treats the symptoms, not the cause.

And for many Australians, the deceitful language suggests our politicians lack the courage to even name that cause, let alone confront it.

BIGOTRY AND THE SOUND OF SILENCE

WARNING: our universities are breeding a generation of totalitarians determined to shut down debates.

Take the University of NSW. Its Student Representative Council demanded other students cancel a lecture this week by former defence minister Kevin Andrews.

Andrews was against same-sex marriage, complained SRC president Billy Bruffey, and that would “cause UNSW students to feel victimised and isolated”.

Besides, “Andrews’ views do not conform with those of the University or its students”. Really? Andrews’ views conform with not one of the students’? And by what right does Bruffey stop students from hearing different arguments and deciding for themselves?

Yet how often we now see this effrontery. In South Australia, the Flinders University Student Association’s head declared she was “repulsed” by the proposal to have Danish academic Bjorn Lomborg set up a think tank at the university. Lomborg, she claimed, would run “a climate change denial centre on campus” putting out “Right-wing junk”.

I don’t know if she bothered to listen to the renowned academic she wants to ban because she’d know he was no “denier”. He merely believes the planet is warming less than once predicted, a fact the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change admits.

He also believes it’s not smart to spend trillions on “solutions” that make little difference to the temperature. But that important debate is now impossible on many campuses. In fact, students and staff at the University of Western Australia stopped Lomborg’s centre from opening there, falsely accusing him of “bad science”.

But global warmists aren’t the only ideological stormtroopers.

Socialist Alternative protesters have howled down a lecture at Melbourne University by former Liberal MP Sophie Mirabella and assaulted Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop at Sydney University.

In May, also at Sydney University, students, backed by two academics, burst into a lecture by retired British colonel Richard Kemp, chanting, “Richard Kemp, you can’t hide, you support genocide”. Kemp’s crime? To argue that Israel had tried very hard to avoid civilian casualties in its war with Hamas.

Watch out. Today’s campus totalitarians are tomorrow’s politicians, judges and journalists and our free speech is already in danger. We’ve seen even the Turnbull Government ban an American who had been booked to speak here against abortion.

Who will be silenced next?

Pious Muslim Salim Mehajer and Bow Wow

Mehajer mansion the unreal setting for rapper Bow Wow’s video for Too Real

Salim Mehajer speaks out

US rap artist Bow Wow has released his latest single, the video clip for which was shot at the mansion of Auburn council’s deputy mayor Salim Mehajer.

Too Real, a collaboration with Australian hip hop and RnBass producer DJ Willi, features the marble staircase of Mehajer’s mansion, adorned with curvy women.

Its glass balustrade resembles the glamour-type staircases that might be found at The Star casino, complete with interior lighting in each marble stair riser.

Mehajer’s white Ferrari also features prominently in the clip and is driven by Bow Wow, otherwise known as Shad Gregory Moss, 28, around the Opera House. It was the car, say sources, that brought Mehajer and Bow Wow into contact after the DJ’s entourage started making inquiries about the hire of an “exotic car” for the video.

“We wanted to get an exotic car into the video and he (Mehajer) offered and asked if we wanted to come to the house and use it for the clip too,” DJ Willi has confirmed.

Bow Wow has said — rap style — the idea of making Too Real and shooting its clip in Sydney came during his fourth trip to “Aussie” and went something like this:

“I was doing a lot of partying, a lot of clubs, a lot of crazy nights over here in Australia and one night Crazy Willi had the studio and the deck and played a couple of beats and sh** ... and I was like Damn! I could do something to these …

“He took me to the studio and next thing you know we had a hit and it was like Damn Dog! before I leave, like my last night, let’s just shoot a video you know. Let’s knock it out because like I’m gonna go back to shooting CSI. So I ain’t really had no time to shoot no videos or no shit like that.

“All it takes is one call, that’s it. We ain’t stalling for nothing. One call, my man Willi. I need to shoot this video, my man made it happen.”

Happy with the result, which includes crowd shots of gorgeous, exotic-looking Sydney women, though not, apparently, the new Mrs Mehajer, Wow crowed: “All my fans are gonna love this sh*t.”

State Labor Green Loon Leader Mr Luke Foley,demands more Mosques be built in Australia......

Following the recent summary execution of NSW Police civilian employee Mr Curtis Cheng outside Parramatta Police Station,by a Quran Inspired Pious Muslim Assassin,The State Labor Green Loon Opposition Leader and Labor Member for Sydney's Occupied Territories electorate of Auburn,Mr Luke Foley, is demanding that MORE Muslim Mosques be built in Sydney.

Mosques, What is a Mosque? according to the world leader most admired by US President Barack Husseine Obama,the Moderate voice of Islamic reason, Turkeys PM,Recep Tayyip Erdogan the definition of a Mosque is as follows:

“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers...”
―Recep Tayyip Erdogan

Mr Foley says he wants MORE Islamic "barracks" on Australian soil,
Mr Foley says he wants more 'helmuts" for Islamic Soldiers on Australian soil,
Mr Foley says he wants more Islamic  "Bayonets" on Australian soil,
Mr Foley says he wants more Islamic "soldiers" on Australian soil.

Mr Foley  Why ?

Mr Foley's constituency in the seat of Auburn is made up of 25% Muslims, this suburb makes up with other suburbs in the vicinity what is known as "Sydney's Occupied Territories" Multicultural Ghettos dominated by Muslims implemented by the Whitlam Fraser and subsequent governments of the 70's through to the present day,in the South West of Sydney.

---------------------

Foley’s solution is to build more mosques

Jim O’Rourke
The Daily Telegraph
October 6, 2015 

LOCAL councils should allow more mosques to be built in Sydney’s suburbs to help stop the spread of “underground” places of worship that could radicalise Muslim youth, ­NSW opposition leader Luke Foley said.

In a controversial move, Mr Foley yesterday said blocking the development of mosques was “counter productive”.

When asked if the NSW government could be doing more to halt the radicalisation of young people, Mr Foley said: “I’ve got particular views when it comes to the approval of ­places of worship.

“I think often that decisions by councils to block approvals for mosques are counter productive ­because then you see unregulated, underground prayer halls where you just don’t know what is being preached. I think we can do much more to support Islamic leaders (by) approving places of worship that are above ground, that are preaching the mainstream Islamic faith in a way that is the most effective counter to radicalisation within that community.”

Mr Foley, who is the MP for Auburn where about 25 per cent of his constituents are Muslim, insisted the majority of the Islamic ­community was trying to stop its youth being radicalised.

“I see the Muslim community, and its leaders, working on the ground each and every day to fight radicalisation and I want to support them,” he said.

“I don’t care, I have been very patient, you crossed the line.

“I have nothing to say.”

Real victims forgotten in Parramatta shooting as left moves to protect muslims

Parramatta shooting shows Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull wrong about being sensitive with terrorism

Andrew Bolt
The Daily Telegraph
October 5 2015.

"Who dares speak frankly about any of this, when our new Prime Minister implies what’s really inflammatory is not Islam but Australia?"

LAST Friday morning, just before Curtis Cheng was murdered, Malcolm Turnbull revealed he would be more sensitive in tackling terrorism.

Gone would be “the blunt and often divisive language used by his predecessor Tony Abbott”, The Australian reported, clearly briefed by our new Prime Minister or his team.

Abbott’s rude talk had just “alienated many in the ­Islamic community”, and “Mr Turnbull will adopt a new, more inclusive tone”.

This was just what the media Left had claimed to want when it was looking for excuses to kick Abbott.

How those journalists had savaged Abbott for what they gleefully claimed was his politically motivated scaremongering about terrorism and his “inflammatory” and “divisive” language — language that actually seemed plain common sense.

How dare he alienate Muslims by asking them “to be part of ‘Team Australia’’.
How dare he suggest Muslim leaders did not condemn Islamist terrorism strongly enough, even saying that although Western leaders called Islam a religion of peace, “I wish more Muslim leaders would say that more often and mean it”?

And how crass to keep referring to the head-hacking Islamic State death cult as, er, a death cult?

See, phrases like “death cult” just upset Muslims, protested journalists and Labor.

And Turnbull whispered that, too, as he privately white-anted Abbott.

Sometimes Turnbull didn’t just whisper it, either. In July he shouted it in a speech, warning that unnamed people “over-estimate” the jihadist threat.

“It’s easy to sensationalise these scoundrels, these criminals, and we need … to be careful that we are not amplifying their own work, their significance,” he said loftily.

But he wasn’t talking about Abbott, he protested.

But he was, of course, which Friday’s news story now proves.

Well, let’s go back to that Friday. That afternoon, ­15-year-old Farhad Khalil Mohammad Jabar went to his Parramatta mosque.

We’re not sure what he did there, or whom he saw. Nor do we know how this Iraqi Kurd from Iran got his hands on a gun.

But Farhad then walked to the Parramatta police station, slipped behind Curtis Cheng, who worked in the station’s finance department, and shot him in the head.

He repeatedly shouted “Allah” until he was in turn shot dead by police. NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione said Farhad’s attack seemed politically motivated, and thus terrorism.

Little had Turnbull known how soon he’d get to demonstrate his new “inclusive” rhetoric. But on Saturday we heard it. Turnbull, reading from prepared notes, insisted “the Australian Muslim community will be especially appalled and shocked” by the act of terrorism.

“We must not vilify or blame the entire Muslim community with the actions of what is, in truth, a very, very small percentage of violent extremist individuals.”



And, true, most Muslims would hate what was done. They must not be vilified or treated as enemies. Yet Turnbull is still wrong. Very wrong.

First, he was wrong to have scapegoated Abbott, and imply Abbott was partly responsible for driving Muslim youths to extremism.

The threat from Islamist terrorism here is little different to the threat faced by almost every Western country, whether their leaders talk as sweetly as the French President or as tough as the Israeli Prime Minister.

In other words, the problem lies not in “us” or our politicians, but in Islam itself — in its sacred texts that preach intolerance and condone ­violence against unbelievers.

In fact, I doubt that 15-year-old Farhad even knew whether Turnbull or Abbott was now Prime Minister, or would have cared.

Second, Turnbull is wrong because the proportion of violent extremist individuals in our Muslim community is not “very, very small”. In fact, for the size of the community here — fewer than 500,000 — it is dangerously high.

 "Small minority of Muslims" Yeah Right.

All 21 Australians jailed for terrorism in Australia are Muslim, even though we have almost as many Buddhists. More than 200 Australian Muslims have joined the Islamic State, and hundreds more have been stopped at the airport. More hundreds here support the jihadists, and still more condone them.

Those numbers suggest the third and fundamental reason Turnbull is wrong.

He is wrong to attack ­Abbott because that just encourages the almost pathological blame-shifting of so many Muslim leaders and representatives. So many just blame Australia and the West for the violent extremism that curiously comes almost exclusively from their community.

On the ABC’s Q&A we’ve heard from a dozen at least, claiming Muslims are the real victims and accusing our governments and police and anti-Muslim conspiracies.

Muslim academic Randa Abdel-Fattah, for instance, said: “I’m very cynical about the government’s use of these (anti-terrorist) raids to politicise the Muslim problem of terrorism.”

Muslim journalist Mona Eltahawy said: “None of you do absolutely anything to help us. You’ve always sold us­­­ out.”

NY Subway Vandal, Mona's finest Hour

And Muslim Legal Network solicitor Lydia Shelley added: “Please don’t use the Muslim people, don’t use the issue of radicalisation, to really sell these (anti-terrorism) laws, which is really about a sustained attack on civil liberties in this country.”

Stronger stuff is preached in the more radical mosques and meeting halls. Hizb ut Tahrir spokesman Wassim Doureihi, for one, was filmed shouting to followers: “Even if a thousand bombs went off in this country, all that it will prove is that the Muslims are angry, and they have every reason to be angry.”

Even the Grand Mufti, Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohammed, blamed Abbott’s support for Israel for causing young Muslims to sign up for the Islamic State, rather than blame Islam itself for inspiring such slaughter.

And this kind of moral evasion is what Turnbull has encouraged by scapegoating Abbott. He has taken the pressure off Muslim leaders to reform their faith.

He has taken the pressure off us to seriously debate whether Islam — as interpreted by many — actually fits into a multi-religious secular democracy.

And he’s made it harder to have the honest debate we need about whether to accept more Muslim refugees.

Consider:

Man Monis, an Iranian “refugee” and Islamist, staged the deadly Lindt cafe­ siege;

Numan Haider, an Afghan “refugee” and Islamic State recruit, stabbed two police in Melbourne;

Mohammad Ali Baryalei, an Afghan “refugee”, became a recruiter and fighter for the Islamic State;

Saney Edow Aweys, a Somalian “refugee”, plotted to attack the Holsworthy Army base.

So should we accept more Muslim refugees, or take in Christians instead? Would Christian refugees be less likely to hate us, and more likely to thrive?

But here again, Turnbull may have weakened the “divisive” Abbott policy.

Muslim leaders say the government’s Refugee Resettlement Advisory Council last week told them the 12,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees we’re taking won’t be selected by religion, as Abbott hints, but by need.

True, Turnbull privately knows Christians are the most persecuted minority, so should still qualify first. But who now knows?

And which mainstream politician now dares say so?

Who dares speak frankly about any of this, when our new Prime Minister implies what’s really inflammatory is not Islam but Australia?
