Australia: Bourke Street terror attack: Australian PM Scott Morrison demands Muslim leaders ‘call this out for what it is
By Ben Wroe, SMH, November 10, 2018:
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has called on Muslim leaders to take “special responsibility” for stamping out radicalism in their communities, saying they must be proactive and “call this out for what it is”.
Speaking on Saturday in the wake of Melbourne’s Bourke Street attack, Mr Morrison pointedly said that Islamist extremism, rather than a corruption of any other religion, presented the most dangerous form of radicalism in Australia.
PM calls out religious extremism
Following the Bourke Street attack, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the greatest threat of religious extremism in Australia is the “dangerous ideology” of extremist Islam.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten meanwhile said Australia needed to be “ruthless” against people who carried out violence in the name of a “twisted, perverse” version of religion but cautioned against generalising about Muslims.
The question of how political leaders discuss Islamist extremism has been a controversial one in recent years. Tony Abbott as prime minister angered many Muslim community leaders by once questioning their dedication to curbing extremism, while his successor Malcolm Turnbull deliberately toned down his rhetoric, arguing that Muslim communities were key allies in the fight against radicalisation.
Mr Morrison appeared to aim for a middle ground on Saturday, though he deliberately flagged his remarks as a moment of political bluntness, saying he had to “address the real issue here”.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
“I am the first to protect religious freedom in this country, but it also means I must be the first to call out religious extremism,” he said.
“Religious extremism takes many forms around the world, and no religion is immune from it … But here in Australia, we would be kidding ourselves if we did not call out the fact that the greatest threat of religious extremism … is the radical and dangerous ideology of extremist Islam.”
Mr Morrison praised Muslim Australians who were trying to protect their children and communities from radicalisation and commended “these Australians for the leadership and courage … often at great risk to themselves and their families”.
But he went on: “There is a special responsibility on religious leaders to protect their religious communities and to ensure that these dangerous teachings and ideologies do not take root here.
“They must be proactive, they must be alert and they must call this out, in their communities and more broadly, for what it is.”
He said the government, religious leaders and the community would all have to work together, adding that he would meet with and speak with Muslim leaders.
Mr Shorten said violent Islamist extremism was a “real threat” and that Australia needed “to be ruthless and relentless against people who are going to commit this sort of violence and whatever twisted, perverse, definition of religion or ideology makes them do this”.
But he stressed that commentators and leaders should not “lump everyone of the faith into that basket”.
“This is a small, radicalised proportion of that general group and our best weapon to help keep us safe is working with the rest of the community to make sure that these extremist elements are identified, apprehended and dealt with.”
He also revealed he had spoken just last Monday to Sisto Malaspina, the 74-year-old co-owner of the famous Pellegrini’s Espresso Bar, who was killed in the attack.
“I was talking to Sisto as recently as last Monday … He was always good for a chat about politics and Melbourne … He’s a Melbourne icon,” Mr Shorten said.

Scott Morrison is simply telling the truth, be it politically conciliatory to reducing upsetting the permanently outraged cult of Islam. and calling out that invading army of islam, Of course Moslems are ‘outraged,’ Like cockroaches when a light is shone on them. Moslems are the world’s best liars and deceivers -make no mistake about that. Wake up sleepy and ignorant Aussies and recognise the threat to your country. Islam is nothing more than an invading army which plans to rule and enslave, not only your beloved country but the whole of the world. It should be banned as soon as possible, as would the Nazi party – which it fought for in the second world war. Read the disturbing, but honest truth, before it is too late for you and tour loved ones, at places like jihadwatch.org and pamelageller.com before it becomes too late to stop. For your children’s sake.

It appears from the street photos above that, the Melbourne police need some training on dealing with this kind of degenerate. I can think of several U.S. cities that, in this same situation, the attacker would already have been on the ground bleeding out from several police gunshots, perhaps even by a conceal carry citizen. If this is police policy in Melbourne, it’s going to get someone killed.

Cut the crap, P.M. Scott Morrison! Talking out of both sides of your mouth doesn’t impress me.
OTOH you want FREE MOVEMENT with Indonesia, a hot bed of Muslim terrorism. LOOK at what “religion” dominates there and I guarantee you the percentage has grown since 2010. Also note that Indonesia is about TEN times the population of Australia. As of 2018 Indonesia has 266.70 million and Australia has 24.77 million.
How long will it take for Muslims to be dominant and CONQUER Australia? Not long! It’s suicide!
Religion (2010)
87.2% Islam
9.9% Christianity
—7.0% Protestantism
—2.9% Roman Catholicism
1.7% Hinduism
0.7% Buddhism
0.2% Confucianism
and others
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia
WHY would you want free movement with a MUSLIM dominated country with escalating MUSLIM terrorism?
Hardly comprehensive!

Excellent comment felix. The map showing the percentage of islamics in Indonesia is disturbing. We also have the Chinese to worry about too. You know that they own Darwin port and have interests in most of the other ports in Australia.

The Chinese are happily going about COLONIZING countries through predatory lending and builiding. The Chinese will be happy to build your transportation system. They promise to use YOUR people for labor but that never happens. When it is completed, they don’t use YOUR people to maintain it or run it. If you can’t pay for it, then China seizes it. China KNOWS they won’t be able to afford the payback. Why have a war when you can do this? Transportation and ports are CRITICAL to any country. The Chinese want those PORTS and other forms of TRANSPORTATION. China is also becoming aggressive in the South China sea…Eventually this will affect critical shipping routes. This article outlines the danger with China.
High-stakes brinksmanship in the Pacific as China expands reach into the South China Sea
Casey Egan and Ricky Zipp, Medill News Service
Published 6:00 a.m. ET June 26, 2018
…
The South China Sea is hotly contested for a litany of economic, political, and historical reasons. Twenty-one percent of all global trade made its way through the waterway in 2016, according to research by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). The same study found that nearly two-thirds of China’s maritime trade traversed the sea, and nearly 42 percent of Japan’s maritime trade did as well.
But the South China Sea has more than economic meaning for Indo-Pacific nations on its shores. In China’s case, the ties are also linked to nationalism and sovereignty claims.
China believes it has territorial sovereignty over what is known as the “nine-dash line,” a region that encompasses the majority of the South China Sea and has been claimed as sovereign territory by the government of China since 1947.
While countries openly challenge their claim, China remains adamant that the area within the nine-dash line be recognized as its territory despite being disputed by the international community. China became more adamant after the discovery of oil and gas beneath the surface.
…
In March, China made a historic move by altering its constitution to remove term limits for presidents. That allows Xi to remain president for life. Xi has signaled a new era of Chinese power projection amidst unprecedented economic growth.

We all have religious extremism, but our psychos do things like form compounds where the leader marries hundreds of teenage girls, have mass suicides where the only people dying are their people, no one else, and of course, those people who wear robes, shave their heads, wear a bell they ring every time they feel happy!
We get them yelling at people killing unborn babies, once in a hundred years or so, someone will kill these people killing unborn babies but comparing them to Islam is the silliest thing I’ve ever heard. These murderers and rapists, pedophiles, and wife and child abusers have the most frequent, relentless, widespread, prolific issues with irrational violence and attacks we’ve ever seen! “Extremism” is sporting ugly beards, wearing head scarves and other Islamic outfits, praying in public places, the streets, and insisting that we respect their right to kill animals by slitting their throats.
The Islamic violence isn’t extremist. It’s psychopathic. They’re lunatics. They have more than a little! It’s not fair to us. Period.

Baby steps. It’s too much of a leap to go from denial straight to Islam. It is a good thing that at least he has identified Islam, even if he considers it an extremist version. For those of us that understand the topic, this should have been out in the open years ago, but so many people unfortunately are still asleep.

At last I found a comment which says the real truth. Islam is Quran. If you r a Muslim you believe Quran. If you read Qyran its written there for the last 15 hundred years. All infidels, Christians, Jews and bad Muslims should be killed or made slaves. All their women should be distributed among harems of good Muslims.
Muslims are not bad people. They are just Muslims, a different race genetically engineered by 15 hundred years of female mutilation. Muslims, primarily Arabs who are the leaders of Islam all over the world, have implemented the greatest human engineering feat in history and bred a new race. Genetically they remain human and look as human. But it is like we breed dogs. They remain genetically dogs but we can breed fighting pit bulls killers and little cute chamber dogs. Iy just takes so many generations to implement this genetic engineering in natural conditions, not in a lab. This is what Mohammedans and many African tribes they kept as slaves have been doing for many generations creating murderous race. Now their leaders are on the Conquest of the world. The western world is biologically weak subsequent to terrible wars of the 20th century. It is this biological weakness that brought them to cherish the ideology of “liberal democracy”. In practice it is just submission to biologically strong race. Arabs and Muslims have better sexual drive and better sperm. They breed like flies and white women like this drive and submit, while white men submit to their biological humiliation. Pure Darwinism.

To become a practicing Muslim is to kiss your conscience goodbye. There is another problem with Islam. Even if you don’t READ the Quran because you are uneducated, you can’t leave Islam – that much they know. If you leave Islam depending on the country you live in, you can expect to be murdered. Even if you do read the Quran and have questions about it, you are not allowed to question teachings. That can also reward you with a death sentence.
So imagine how ANY Muslim would view the INFIDEL, questioning their religion when they are not allowed to do that. You as an infidel, by all Muslims are viewed as inferior and sub human. They are taught that the decadence of the west is “Christian”. Yes someone like Madonna or Katy Perry is viewed as representative of Christianity in the west. They are the bogeymen to keep loathing “Christians”.

“Moral cowardice”? Think of Theresa May refusing to take into Britain the Pakistani Christian lady, Asia Bibi, who after 7 or 8 years in prison on a trumped up Muslim charge of ‘blasphemy’ was finally released by the country’s supreme court. She now needs a sane home, but because of the cowardly May, Britain cannot offer her sanctuary because it has too many angry, intolerant, bigoted, Christianopobia-afflicted bloody Muslims.

“Religious extremism takes many forms around the world, and no religion is immune from it….”
Maybe he could give us some examples of the “forms” that “extremism”takes and identify the religions other than islam who engage in what he calls “extremism.” It is called jihad…it is murder…it is mandated in islam… and NO islam is NOT a religion it is a total political system and ideology and until it is recognized as such this type of thing will continue.

Did you know President George Washington was also a “nationalist”?
I don’t see him treated like President Trump.
Nationalism is an ideology based on the premise that the individual’s loyalty and devotion to the nation-state surpass other individual or group interests. That is a perfectly normal sentiment and patriotism and nationalism is often interchangeable. Do you see the clash with globalist OPEN BORDERS, NO SOVEREIGNTY, MASS IMMIGRATION, NO DEPORTATIONS, INTERNATIONAL COURTS, NO USA GLOBALIST AGENDA? Hitler used a form of nationalism but PERVERTED it for a different agenda.
NAZI stnds for, the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei ) They re trying to redefine nationalism to fir Hitler’s agenda. Trump is not following Hitler’s agenda. They are trying to make Trump into Hitler. Trump is right to be careful on Muslim immigration. That is not even close to Hitlers Jewish ethnic cleansing. It is right for a country to put their country first and have pride in their country.
Ask yourself this. Why did solders fight in ANY war? Wasn’t it for love of country? Putting ones country first? Preserving their culture, borders and sovereignty? Should all people that have these sentiments be automatic HITLER’S or is it just politically convenient to redefine nationalism to align with Hitlers perverted nationalist agenda? The global elites LOATHE nationalism, patriotism, sovereignty, borders, cultural identity, our Constitution, our laws and embrace the opposite.
Why they honor the war dead in France and Germany is beyond me. They might as well openly defecate on the graves of these selfless brave men and women who literally gave their lives for the elite for love of country. I doubt that a single one would have fought if later on they knew, OPEN BORDERS, MASS IMMIGRATION, NO SOVEREIGNTY, NO CULTURE would be the next globalist goal. Would you fight for globalism? I wouldn’t. Globalists HATE President Trump. Through his actions others are encouraged to voice and act on opposition to globalists. Why also do you think globalists shun individuals and prefer group think and group pressure? The individual voice has no place in a global world. No, nationalism isn’t the enemy – it is GLOBALISM!
Being a nationalist is also not being an “isolationist”, as globalists claim! That is absurd! The U.S. trades with many countries but Trump is looking for fair RECIPROCAL trade instead of predatory trade imbalances that have become the norm by globalists to take the U.S. down and spread our wealth around building up OTHER countries! It’s all about leveling the playing field at our expense. We have lost TRILLIONS of trade over the decades due to being taken advantage of with one sided traded deals that did NOT benefit the U.S. and added to our DEBT. The U.S. built the Chinese economy. We over looked human rights, believing that capitalism would change that – it didn’t and they have become addicted to unfair trade practices and deals.
Does George Bush Sr. “NEW WORLD ORDER” and GEORGE BUSH “NATION BUILDING” make more sense now? Does the BUSH DESTABILIZING of the MIDDLE EAST make more sense? Refugees? Does it make more sense that the BUSH FAMILY, with the exception of one Bush in Texas as Land commissioner, ALL VOTED FOR HILLARY CLINTON? Is it so surprising that the Bush’s and Clinton’s were close and loved to do joint fund raising? Hmmmmm Obama simply tried to finish the job they had laid out.

First….Where’s the report of this Bourke Street terror attack?
These Western leaders still don’t get it….Islam is EXTREME and RADICAL and a “twisted, perverse” form of a “religion.” An “extremist” in Catholicism would be Saint Mother Teresa. An “extremist” in Islam would be Muhammad himself–the “perfect man,” the first Jihadist who chopped off heads and who all his followers are supposed to emulate. The “peaceful” Muslims are heretics who cannot delegitimize the violent ones…that would be an insult to Muhammad. STOP “praising” the Muslim community….hold them responsible for Islamic violence and start shutting down Mosques and kicking out Imams who teach “true” Islam.

Here are a few verses from the I-Slam book called the kooran. Read them and learn who is being talked about:
Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies and others besides, whom ye may not know (8:60)
Strive hard (Jihad) against the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell, an evil refuge indeed. (66:9, See also 9:73)
…He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide. For them is a penalty in the life of this world, but harder, truly, is the penalty of the Hereafter… (13:33-34)
Fight them, allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace… (9:14)
And fight them until there is no more ftna (unbelief, worshipping others beside allah), and religion is all for allah… (8:39)
We shall punish them gradually from directions they perceive not. (68:44)
O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty. (9:123)
The Jews call Ezra a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. allahs curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! (9:30)
Listen not to the unbelievers, but strive (Jihad) against them with the utmost strenuousness. (25:52)
O ye who believe! Take not for friends unbelievers rather than believers: Do ye wish to offer Allah an open proof against yourselves? (4:144)
O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. (5:51)
For the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies (4:101)

Please someone make your Prime Minister Scott Morrison accept what the Turkish President Erdogan has said mant times about Islam, there is no such thing as extreme or terrorist Islam, THERE IS ONLY ISLAM ! As leader of an Islamic population he should know. That simply means that extreme Islam and terrorism is the normal until you convert to Islam yourself !
