We should not bow to the Bullies of Islam
Andrew Bolt

Pg.13
The most frightening thing said about the Sydney riot against the Innocence Of Muslims video wasn't said by a Muslim, No, give the booby prize to Communications Minister Stephen Conroy.
His spokesman announced Conroy wanted Google to "review its terms of service'' to consider pulling the "clearly offensive" clip from YouTube. Hey, that is exactly what one of the world's top terrorist leaders wants as well.
The distribution of this entire film must be banned by the Americans — they slandered the
purity of his birth, slandered his faith and his morals," demanded Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Monday.
When our own Communications Minister and a terror chief in Lebanon speak as one about banning an obscure video to placate furious Muslims who haven't seen it we are already halfway to lost.
Even in America we see this same disgraceful scramble to placate mobs threatening to cut our throats at home or burning Western embassies abroad.
The Obama administration falsely blamed Innocence of the Muslims for triggering a deadly al-Qaeda assault on September 11 on the US consulate in Benghazi.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton repeatedly denounced the ultra-low budget film, as if it was the cause of the lethal Muslim rage and not an excuse for it.
Meanwhile, brown-shirted US authorities raided the filmmaker's home after midnight to take him away for questioning over alleged breaches of this jailbird's probation.
Message received. Make a film attacking Islam and if you aren't hacked to death in the street like Dutch director Theo van Gogh,your own police could drag you out of your bed.
You'll kill us if we don't removethe film? OK, we'll try. We'll even rough up the filmmaker for you.You won't have to cut our throats,because we'll cut them for you.
What sort of message does Conroy think he's sending? May as well ask Nasrallah what else he wants banned.
Already Prime Minister Julia Gillard has dutifully echoed Nasrallah's contempt for a film I'm
almost certain she's also never seen calling Innocence Of Muslims "truly repulsive",
Repulsive? But that the film is (undoubtedly) bad and rude is no reason to wish it suppressed.
If we let jihadists stop us watching trash,we've let them decide for us what trash is.
Trouble is, for a Nasrallah,"trash" includes even prize-winning novels such as Sir Salman
Rushdie's The Satanic Verses and the illustrations of Danish cartoonists who mocked Islam and Islamic fanatics.
That book and those cartoons were also attacked with a murderous rage.
Rushdie was sentenced to death by Iran and in this latest orgy of outrage an Iranian religious foundation upped the reward for his killing to $3.5 million. One of his translators has been murdered, and two others wounded.
The Danish cartoonists have also been hunted byjihadists sent to kill them, and three Muslims were jailed over a bomb plot to punish Denmark for its impiety.
Sadly, such violence has worked. Rushdie was asked by the British government to write an apology to Muslims for his novel — and some leftist intellectuals attacked him for his rudeness.
Australian newspapers still refuse to show the Danish cartoons,and Yale University Press didn't dare publish them — even in Jytte Klausen's history The Cartoons That Shook The World.
How careful our publishers and artists have become in their efforts not to offend such extremists.
Scholastic Australia scrapped an adventure thriller, Army Of The Pure, after booksellers and l ibrarians said they would not stock a book with an Islamist terrorist as the "baddie", and the Melbourne Comedy Festival banned two acts that joked about Muslims.
Yes, that's the same festival that's staged Catherine Deveny's foul-mouthed tirade against
Christianity, God Is Bullshit. The only difference: Christians don't kill their critics.
Yet every such concession to threats and demands for censorship just invites more.
First, The Satanic Verses had to be outlawed. Then the Muhammad cartoons.
Now Innocence Of Musiims. Next — who knows, Dante's Inferno, the great
Renaissance masterpiece?
Quick, read it before the likes of Conroy decree even Dante's famous descriptions of the damned in hell are too dangerously offensive:
i saw one there so burst wide,From the chin severed down to
where we fart...Look at Mahommed and his mangled trunk!...
And all the other souls you witness here
Sowed scandaf, discord, schism when afive,
And therefore they are cioven as you see.
Yes, to hell with bigots who threaten us with death for saying
and reading as we please.
Give in once and we'll give in forever. Trash handed over today,
treasure tomorrow.

Australian Federal Treasurer Wayne Swanstein slams GOP and Tea Party
"Dear President Chávez,
We, the undersigned citizens of Australia, would like to extend a warm invitation for you to visit our country. We have watched developments in Venezuela with great interest. We have been impressed by the great effort that your government has taken to improve the living standards of the majority of Venezuelans. We have also noted with keen attention the moves that your government has begun to make to create a society based on popular participation in all spheres of society—from the workplace up to the national government.
Although we are on the opposite side of the globe we feel that our shared ideals of social justice and democracy bring us close together. Every country has its own traditions and culture and has to find its own solutions, but what Venezuela has been able to achieve in so little time will be a source of inspiration and ideas for many in Australia."

"But Communism is the god of discontent, and needs no blessing. All it needs is a heart willing to hate, willing to call envy “justice."Equality then means the violent destruction of all social and cultural distinctions. Freedom means absolute dictatorship over the people."

AUSTRALIA'S most prominent Muslim leader has warned people of his community they are in danger of turning from "victims to criminals" if they stage violent protests again.
Australia's grand mufti Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohamed and other Muslim community leaders came to together in a show of support for police today
The SPIN
Nick Nick Nick WTF?
The Reality
Australians do not have a "Grand Mufti" there is no "Grand Mufti" of Australia, talk about the Emporors new clothes,it's a title self imposed by Muslim insurgents, Australians do not recognize this subversive insurgent arse clown and his apologists and followers.
"The people who did the protest last week and if they're thinking of doing a protest this week, that we're in danger of turning from victims to criminals," Dr Mohamed said through his interpreter.
"We were victims two weeks ago when everything that is holy to us was insulted in that movie.
Victims ? Victims of what this time ? The Islamic state of perpetual victimhood, will it ever end ?
"We have then ventured into criminals for what we did. We could have protested, we could have conveyed our opinions peacefully but some of us chose to take these criminal or these illegal actions so this is something we are against," he said.
Police deputy commissioner Nick Kaldas said they had not received any tip-offs about an upcoming protest but police were ready just in case.
"We're not aware of any specific plans for demonstrations this weekend ... but we are absolutely ready for whatever may happen this weekend," he said.

Ray Hadley,the Brilliant Joe Hildebrand and Jonathan Holmes Media Watch
EXCLUSIVE: Media Watch and me - The incredible untold story
Joe Hildebrand
Daily Telegraph
Tuesday, September 18, 2012 (6:25pm)
There is an argument that responding to Twitter trolls just gives unnecessary attention to vindictive people with a tiny audience. The same could be said of responding to Media Watch but in the interests of editorial consistency let’s give it a go anyway.
Media Watch has an agenda against the Telegraph. One of many humourless ironies about the program is that it is guilty of the same editorial bias it constantly accuses others of having.
That much is fine: It can think whatever it wants. The problem is that Media Watch presents itself as an impartial arbiter of journalistic standards and some naive and sequestered people in the community—such as my mum and the Gillard Government—actually believe it.
The reason I know Media Watch distorts facts in order to pursue a particular vendetta is because for a long time they pursued one against me. I don’t say this to fish for any sympathy, but just to give some context to the show’s latest canning of the Tele on Monday night.
Joe is not the only one who has troubles with Media Watch 2GB's Ray Hadley alluded to this encounter with this pampered pooches and their banshees
My love affair with Media Watch began in 2007 when a ``researcher’’ called asking for a contact number for a family in a story I’d written. The yarn rapped Fairfax over the knuckles for running ads that praised a cult leader accused of child sex abuse. I happily handed over the number only to discover that when Media Watch ran the story it did so as though it had discovered the outrage itself and did not credit the Telegraph article that prompted it, let alone the paper’s assistance.
I wrote to them saying I thought this deeply unfair and they responded with words to the effect that it was not their job to report on the media every time it got things right.
The following year Media Watch attempted to score points off the deaths of six people in a Sydney Harbour boating accident. It accused the Telegraph and other outlets of wrongly referring to one of the victims by her second name instead of her first and even suggested that this mistake caused distress to her grieving family.
As it happened the young woman was a friend of a friend of mine and so I sent the program a letter telling them that, like Gough Whitlam and Paul McCartney (and indeed one John Joseph Hildebrand), she was in fact known by her second name. Media Watch later corrected the report but offered no apology to us—or the family whose distress they were once so concerned about.
It was not long after this second interaction that Media Watch suddenly took an intense interest in my reporting.
Half-baked smears included suggesting that I had invented swine flu projection figures that were in fact contained in an official NSW Health report and which were confirmed by two independent experts _ one of whom later backflipped after the government tried to hose down the story.
In another report I did on measures which reduced P-plater deaths by a quarter, Media Watch accused me of saying all but a quarter of P-platers died on the road.
A third involved an error made by another reporter in an item I was told to put in a gossip column I used to do. Not willing to dob in a colleague, I placed a correction in the column the following week saying only the error had occurred during production and was not made by me. In a nudge-nudge wink-wink way Media Watch hinted that I was lying. Nasty, biased and wrong.
Again, I say this only to provide concrete examples of Media Watch manipulating facts in an effort to fuel prejudice against this newspaper and its writers.
Which brings us to this week’s hatchet job. As all readers will know, The Telegraph has been waging a campaign against trolls and cyberbullying on social media. A huge number of people support it, some do not.
The problem for Media Watch is that it couldn’t just say it disagreed with the campaign and accepted online abuse as a price of free speech. It couldn’t admit that in recent years the show has gone from digging up genuine media scandals to pontificating from behind a desk like a televised version of Crikey.
Instead it tried to claim that we had somehow got it wrong or were hypocritical or deliberately omitted facts.
First it suggested that we had failed to advise our readers to block trolls. This is just rubbish. Even before the launch of the campaign we ran a story whose very headline ran ``Deny trolls attention and they fade away’’. Two days later we said: ``Social media sites advise users who are attacked online to block trolls or simply switch off’’ but added that some users found this difficult. The same day a page three article quoted a Twitter spokeswoman’s advice: ``If there is something that you don’t agree with, or find insulting, it’s best to block that user.’’
On Saturday a story in the sports section—which perhaps nobody at Media Watch has ever read—was headlined ``Sign off from abuse’’. On Monday, the very morning Media Watch went to air, we ran a column by UTS psychologist Rachael Murrihy across almost an entire page that concluded: ``Block the person and contact the ISP host to have posts removed if possible.’’
Media Watch failed to mention any of this. Either it didn’t do its research (again) or it deliberately ignored it.
Even more cute was that it clumsily attempted to perform a little bit of wedge politics by playing a grab from my esteemed colleague Tory Maguire from The Punch telling Sky News she disagreed with the Tele’s campaign. In a refreshing departure from the usual conspiracy theory that News Limited staff are all working in concert to advance some sinister agenda, Media Watch suggested that because some News Limited staff had a difference of opinion this weakened our position.
Fine. Except what Media Watch didn’t say was that I was sitting right next to Tory on that very same show, at the very same time, discussing the very same topic. Seconds after Tory spoke I outlined exactly the point of the Telegraph’s campaign, encouraging abuse victims to block trolls and also explaining why sometimes blocking did not work.
But did Media Watch show even a token grab of that? No. Did it even tell its viewers I was there? No.
The purpose of the Telegraph’s campaign is to support victims of cyber bullying and abuse and bolster protections where merely blocking and reporting is either not enough or comes too late. It is not just about celebrities—or improbably handsome celebrity columnists—but even more so ordinary people who are less equipped to handle it. Like other anti-bullying campaigns we have simply utilised celebrities to spread awareness and let other victims know that they are not alone.
It does not call for new laws, it does not call for censorship and it does not, as Media Watch suggested in a link so tenuous it would make a Hollywood screenwriter blush, have anything to do with Andrew Bolt.
All of this we could have easily explained to Media Watch and saved them the embarrassment of their confused, selective and erroneous story. But as far as anyone at this newspaper can tell they made no attempt to contact us for a response.
All over the country ever-shrinking newsrooms struggle to keep up with the 24-hour media cycle and the ever-increasing demands of media’s brave new world. Journalists are working harder than ever to hold on to their jobs and keep news and information flowing to a hungry public. Media Watch, meanwhile, has a dedicated staff of 11 people whose sole job it is to hang shit on them for 15 minutes a week.
You’d think they could at least do a better job of it than that.

Sydney's Muslim Insurgency Riots Aftermath: Spin Doctors and apologists still performing CPR on Multiculturalism.
Migrants must follow Australian values, says Frank Lowy
Phillip Hudson
Daily Telegraph
September 19, 20128:30PM
FRANK Lowy, the boat person who became a shopping centre billionaire, has called on migrants to honour the ''great unwritten deal'' to follow Australian values and leave behind ideologies of hate in return for a better life in their new country.
Mr Lowy, who as a 15-year-old fled the Nazis in Europe 65 years ago, said Australia's multiculturalism had been a triumph of tolerance but would always face challenges such as last weekend's riot in Sydney.
He warned the internet and social media were being manipulated by people ''who set out to provoke''.
Delivering the inaugural Australian Multicultural Council Lecture in Canberra, Mr Lowy who is now a businessman and philanthropist, also called for a ''more muscular approach'' to civics education to teach everyone Australia's values.
Mr Lowy said while it might be ''handy for a newcomer to know that Don Bradman was our greatest cricketer'' it would be far more useful to have a bedrock understanding of what it means to be a citizen.
''You are welcome; you are free to worship; you are free to honour your heritage; and, we will respect the differences between us,'' Mr Lowy said.
''And in return, you should agree to live by the standards and values of this society, the one you have chosen to be a part of.''
''And agree to conscientiously pass on these values to your children and ensure that they receive a broad and balanced education, untainted by the ideology of hate.''
He said multiculturalism had enriched Australia in sport, the arts, science, medicine and business and asked if anyone could imagine a modern Australia made up entirely of Anglo-Celtic stock.
''We would be a warmer and somewhat larger version of the Falkland Islands - a kind of British colonial left-over not in the South Atlantic but in the South pacific,'' he said.
Mr Lowy said when he fled Europe he was on a boat built to hold 70 people that was carrying 700 and the conditions were unbelievably bad with not enough water, food or sanitation.
He said he did not want to stumble into the asylum seeker debate ''even though I was a boat person myself - in a different era and in a different place''.
He said government had a sacred duty to protect borders and honour humanitarian obligations and there were no easy ways to strike a balance to meet those twin obligations.
Speaking at the function, Prime Minister Julia Gillard said multiculturalism was ''the meeting place of rights and responsibilities''.
''The right to maintain one's customs, language and religion is a balanced by an equal responsibility to learn English, find work, respect our culture and heritage, and accept women as full equals,'' she said.
''Where there is non-negotiable respect for our foundational values of democracy and the rule of law, and any differences we hold are expressed peacefully. Where old hatreds are left behind, and we find shared identity on the common ground of mateship and the Aussie spirit of a fair go.''
The PM repeated her criticism of the weekend riot.
''What we saw in Sydney on the weekend wasn't multiculturalism but extremism.''
.... and this loon PM Gillard and her Government of misfits,Communists,Greens progressives,Australia Haters, jumped up union officials and loons, are importing into Australia, illegally and legally as many of these "extremists" as they can, day in, day out, in numbers never before seen in this country and at a cost of billions of dollars.
How dare this jumped up former communist party secretary,student activist and Union GetUp financed affirmative action appointee PM from Wales, lecture Australians on Australian values.
Multiculturalism is the Antithesis of a cohesive, prosperous, law abiding and peaceful society,the kind of society that Madame Gillard and her Comrades and like thinkers are hell bent on destroying at all and any cost.
Multiculturalism is their most effective weapon in destroying social cohesion within Australian society, Islam, Muslims are their favourite Mad Dog that they let off the leash every once in a while to inflict their special brand of urban terror upon those Australian's that Madame Gillard and her ALP Comrades and supporters hate and despise so much.
As for Frank Lowy,the owner of the Westfield shopping center empire,talking up the stinking dead carcas of Multiculturalism and the Australian Labor Party maybe he is Australia's George Soros.

Sydney's Occupied Territories: Four more Women arrested following Genital Mutilation of two girls
Four more women arrested over female genital mutilation in NSW
JANET FIFE-YEOMANS
The Daily Telegraph
September 19, 2012 4:26PM
FOUR more women have today been arrested and charged in relation to the female genital mutilation of two young girls in NSW.
Detectives with the State Crime Command’s Sex Crimes Squad have been continuing investigations since charging a Sydney sheik, a retired nurse and the parents of the two sisters.
Detectives with Strike Force Longfield said today that they had been working closely with NSW Health and the Department of Family and Community Services.
Earlier today two women were arrested in Sydney and two women in the Wollongong area. They were each charged with prohibition of female genital mutilation.
Police will allege the four women, aged 39, 68, 73 and 77, were each present at one or both of the procedures, also known as female circumcision, performed on the two sisters when they were aged six and seven.
The women have been granted bail to face Parramatta Local Court on Wednesday 7 November 2012.
Investigations by Strike Force Longfield are ongoing, and police continue to appeal for anyone with information about female genital mutilation to come forward.
Sheik Shabbir Mohammedbhai Vaziri, 56, of the Dawoodi Bohra community at Auburn, and Helen Magennis, 68, a retired nurse of Campbelltown, and the children's parents were all previously charged in relation to the alleged acts on the girls.
The girls remain in the care of their parents.

Limit Muslim migration, Australia warned

LIFE can become untenable when the Muslim population of a non-Muslim country reaches about 10 per cent, as shown by France, a Jewish expert on Islam says.
The Australian Jewish News yesterday quoted Raphael Israeli as saying Australia should cap Muslim immigration or risk being swamped by Indonesians.
Professor Israeli told the Herald that was a misunderstanding. But he said: "When the Muslim population gets to a critical mass you have problems.
That is a general rule, so if it applies everywhere it applies in Australia."
Professor Israeli, an expert on Islamic history from Hebrew University in Jerusalem, has been brought to Australia by the Shalom Institute of the
University of NSW. The Australia-Israel Jewish Affairs Council is co-hosting many of his activities.
He said Muslim immigrants had a reputation for manipulating the values of Western countries, taking advantage of their hospitality and tolerance.
"Greeks or Italians or Jews don't use violence. There is no Italian or Jewish Hilaly [a reference to the controversial cleric Sheik Taj el-Din al Hilaly of Lakemba mosque]. Why?"
Professor Israeli said that when the Muslim population increased, so did the risk of violence.
"Where there are large Muslim 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 - they don't have the backing of big communities. They know they are drowned in the environment of non-Muslims and are better behaved."
In Australia, Muslims account for about 1.5 per cent of the population.
Professor Israeli said that in France, which has the highest proportion of Muslims in Europe at about 10 per cent, it was already too late. There were regions even the police were scared to enter, and militant Muslims were changing the country's political, economic and cultural fabric, and demanding anti-Semitic and anti-Israel policies.
"French people say they are strangers in their own country. This is a point of no return.
"If you are on a collision course, what can you do? You can't put them all in prison, and anyway they are not all violent. You can't send them all back. You are really in trouble. It's irreversible."
Professor Israeli said that in Australia a few imams had preached violence. "You should not let fundamentalist imams come here. Screen them 1000 times before they are admitted, and after they are admitted screen what they say in the mosque."
He said some Muslims wanted to impose sharia (Islamic law) in their adopted countries, and when propaganda did not work they turned to intimidation.
Professor Israeli said his task was to describe, not prescribe. He also said his warning did not include immigrants, including Muslims, who simply wanted to improve their lot. As long as they respected the law and democracy, their numbers — Buddhist, Muslim or Jew — were immaterial. It became material when a group accepted violence.
"The trains in London and Madrid were not blown up by Christians or Buddhists but by Muslims, so it is them we have to beware," he said.
Keysar Trad, of the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia, said "Not only religious clerics need to be screened before entering Ausralia but also academics … this type of academic does nothing but create hatred, suspicion and division … We should review not only what the man has said but also those who have sponsored him, to see if they endorse those comments."
Green Loon says Geert Wilders not welcome in Australia
Controversial Dutch MP's visa bid stalls
7.30 ABC
By Hayden Cooper
18912
Supporters of controversial anti-Islam campaigner Geert Wilders fear he may be refused entry to Australia ahead of his planned speaking tour next month.
The right-wing Dutch MP has applied for a visa to come and give speeches in Sydney and Melbourne, but the application has stalled.
In a climate of tension after the weekend's Muslim protest in Sydney, the issue presents a tricky dilemma for the Federal Government.
Mr Wilders has a reputation the world over as a fierce opponent of Islam.
He has compared the Koran to Hitler's Mein Kampf, called Islam an ideology not a religion, and called the Prophet Mohammed a paedophile among other insults.
His speaking tour of Australia has been organised by an obscure anti-Islamic group called the Q Society, which takes a similar hard line.
Spokesman Andrew Horwood says the group are "ordinary Australians who are concerned about the march of Islam into this country".
"We are non-political, we are a secular organisation, and we've seen what's happened in Europe and we're concerned about that," he said.
"Our charter is to educate the Australian population about what Australia will be like in 20 or 30 years' time with Islam if we choose not to understand it."
Visa delayed
Mr Wilders applied for a visa three weeks ago.
His staff and security were approved within days, but he is still waiting and his sponsors want to know why.
"We find it very strange that a visa is taking so long to come from a politician of a respected democracy," Mr Horwood said.
He's coming here to give the advantage of his knowledge, the advantage of what's happening in Europe, and I cannot see why it's not an automatic thing: 'yes, you're welcome here.'
Q Society spokesman Andrew Horwood
"It should be an automatic thing. He's coming here to give the advantage of his knowledge, the advantage of what's happening in Europe, and I cannot see why it's not an automatic thing: 'yes, you're welcome here'.
"I cannot understand why everything has just ground to a halt."
The reason is that the Dutch politician is on the Movement Alert List, a database of people of concern to Australia.
It means his application is held up at the Department of Immigration headquarters in Canberra while more thorough checks are done.
He is on the list because of his previous brushes with authorities abroad.
In 2009 he was refused entry to the UK but later appealed and won.
He was also tried and acquitted in the Netherlands on hate charges over his controversial public comments.
It is not clear if he will be granted a visa.
Tricky call
Greens Senator Richard Di Natale says Mr Wilders is not welcome in Australia.
"We don't want to see Geert Wilders in this country. His views are not welcome here," he said.
"My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, as the world gathers against the believers in Syria ... seeking to hijack our sincere and blessed uprisings, children in Sydney would like to send their message of hope and support to the Muslims of (Syria), especially to the children and mothers," Ruqaya said in her speech.
"These uprisings have demonstrated that this umma (global Muslim community) is alive and well, her love is for jihad, she is unshackled herself from the fear which she held, and she yearns to once again live under the banner of (the Islamic state).
"Children as young as myself can be seen on the streets joining the uprisings, risking their lives to bring food, water and medicine to their wounded family members, some of them never returning to their mothers ... Nobody is too young," she said.
Sydney Muslim Insurgency Riots: Ahmed Elomar refused Bail again
"This country's got a great story when it comes to multiculturalism, it's part of my own personal story, it's something we should all be proud of and here we've got a man who is the antithesis of multiculturalism."
Greens Senator Richard Di Natale
The final tricky call could ultimately fall to Immigration Minister Chris Bowen.
Mr Bowen says no decision has been made and he has received no advice yet from the department.
Opponents of Mr Wilders do not want him here, but they fear rejecting the visa application is a bad idea.
"We don't think that he should come. The question of whether he should be granted a visa is a separate one," Senator Di Natale said.
We don't think that he should come, the question of whether he should be granted a visa is a separate one.
Greens Senator Richard di Natale
"I think that by denying Geert Wilders a visa, there is the potential to give his cause more oxygen.
"We don't want to do that."
After the weekend's Muslim protest in Sydney, the planned visit to Australia may well add to the tension.
The decision for the minister comes after he approved a visa for Taji Mustafa, the British head of Islamist group Hizb Ut-Tahrir.
Mr Mustafa, though, is not on the Movement Alert List.
"I inquired as to whether Mr Mustafa had any relevant criminal convictions, he did not," Mr Bowen told Parliament this week.
"I inquired as to whether he is a member of a proscribed organisation, he is not. I took all the relevant steps required methodically."
When the Wilders trip was first flagged a year ago, the MP mentioned the help of South Australian Liberal senator Cory Bernardi.
But Senator Bernardi has told 7.30 he has had no involvement in organising the visit.
