The media and it's ever-participatory and enthusiastic audience is taking great delight in tearing apart Islam's vision for creating a political party supportive of Muslim Faith. "How dare they!" the Aussie Battler shouts; "We'll be run by terrorists!" I can hear the fascists ranting as BBQ tongs are thrown in the air all over backyard suburbia.
This generic brand of apathetic ignorance is asking for trouble. Further alienation of minorities within Australia will only serve to widen the segregation and manifest resentment and hatred within and toward our Western Supremist community.
You say no Muslim Party? I say down with Family First, Australian Christians and all of the like. One in, all in. Fair is fair!
I appreciate that values and belief systems are perhaps built upon teachings of whatever scripture one may have decided to adhere to, but in my opinion religious labels and accompanying outdated connotations are to be left at home. No church, temple, or mosque should have place or sway in free-world democratic politics.
Surely we can run the country without the great divide muddying the waters. There is no us and them, wouldn't you call that UN-AUSTRALIAN?
