Muslim World?
Frankly, I know what’s causing the hysteria regarding ‘What if the Muslims take over the city/country/world?’ its just the ancient territorial human feeling to protect one’s religion.
In a disgusting soundbite, Liberal (for you non-aussies, The Liberals are a actually right-wing/conservative party. The Labor Party is meant to be more left-leaning but lately have been just as conservative as the Libs) backbencher member of parliament Danna Vale said “we are aborting ourselves almost out of existence”.
See Abortion Will Lead to Muslim Nation
A double whammy, Danna managed to insult women, pro-choice activists, and promote religious and cultural discrimination. My first thought was ‘So what? As long as they don’t try to enforce laws to promote discrimination or take away womens’ rights etc. I’m sure as human beings they’d do just as good a job ‘running’ Australia. Just like Christian politicians infuriate me when they promote anti-abortion agendas because they are Christian, I don’t believe in mixing church and state, and do believe in allowing freedom of religion, but I fail to see what makes the idea of a Muslim-Australian prime minister any scarier than any other religion.
It’s the fanatical ‘conservatives’ I’m afraid of. Everyone forgets that all religions have their fanatics to give them a bad name. I’m scared of a ‘conservative’ Muslim politician the same as I’m scared of a ‘conservative’ Christian politician.
(Post Script – see Seeing it Coming for a great view of what will happen if we let the fanatics take hold)
Most people also don’t notice that it takes vigilance on the part of the people to prevent politicians introducing a catholic agenda, withdrawing abortion, contraception etc, the same vigilance it would take to prevent a muslim agenda trying to introduce Sharia Law.
‘Aborting ourselves out of existence’ what a farce. Apart from the fact that the abortion statistics are not accurate (they include miscarriages etc) do they really think all those babies would have been born without legal abortion? You’d just push the rate of women dying from illegal abortion through the roof.
My Damn Body, my damn choice. Women are not incubators for men’s or god’s children.
