Over in England the establishment of a sharia court system to deal with civil cases involving the local muslim population occurred in late 2008. This in itself is a tribute to the success of Islamic groups such as Hizb ut-Tahrir. Hizb ut-Tahrir are a global Islamic organisation full of hardline religious nutters hell bent on [...]
The mixing of unrelated men and women in Saudi Arabia has been a giant no-no for quite a long time. This of course in turn creates social problems. Unless chaperoned it’s generally frowned upon for a female to be in the company of any unrelated male friends or acquaintances. This particular example as you can [...]
If I travel to another country and engage in an activity that is illegal there’s a good change I’m going to face some sort of penalty if I’m caught. Here in Australia, commit the illegal act of female genital mutilation (also known as female circumcision), and we’ll not only excuse you – we’ll discuss modifying [...]
Yesterday morning in Miranda, Sydney, a man or woman dressed in a burqa robbed a man at gunpoint. Then, less then 24 hours later over in the UK a cross-dressing robber wearing a burqa and hijab tricked jewelers into opening their door, only for an armed gang to raid the store. The man, dressed in [...]
Currently one of the biggest pushes for banning the burqa revolves around the argument that those that wear a burqa cannot be spot identified.

In a recent Sunrise interview Pauline Hanson declared that she would not be selling her house to Asian’s living overseas. Australian’s of Asian background were ok but anyone who is Muslim need not apply. I’m not exactly certain of what happens if an Australian of Asian background who is Muslim applies, but I’m pretty sure [...]
On one side of Islam you have peaceful, patient and rational Muslims like Gad Amr. On the other, you have crazies like the people over at Revolution Muslim. Last week’s South Park episode was a 200th blockbuster that featured a mish mash of some of the more prominent storylines that have appeared on the show. [...]
Gad Amr has been an Australian citizen for over twenty years. He’s never been to court and has never been investigated or accused of any criminal activity. Gad Amr is also Muslim. Usually the stories in the media regarding Muslims take on a sharply negative tone. The religion itself seems to carry an abundance of [...]
48 hours ago the Australian government announced it was suspending asylum applications for asylum seekers of Afghan and Sri Lankan descent. Obviously not happy that they’d be stuck in limbo for the next three to six months some Afghan and Sri Lankan asylum seekers, currently being detained in Sydney, have begun a hunger strike.
