Conroy joins internet taskforce: Are the UN retarded?

Hitler being appointed the caretaker of a holocaust memorial museum. Osama bin Laden put in charge of a construction team rebuilding the Twin Towers. Kevin Rudd being asked to judge diving at the next Olympics, except for the backflip event. All of these are horrifying absurd scenarios the world wouldn’t want to be confronted with [...]

Senator Bernadi pushes for a burqa ban in Australia

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 [...]

Would a burqa ban stop burqa crime?

Currently one of the biggest pushes for banning the burqa revolves around the argument that those that wear a burqa cannot be spot identified. If you’re walking down the street in one nobody has any idea who you are. Even if the police stop you and they’re unlucky enough to be male they have to [...]

Top 5 non-religious reasons to ban the burqa

There’s been a bit of a push in Europe lately to ban the burqa. France’s deliberation on the ban has been the most vocal and discussed; FRANCE’S top administrative body has advised the government against slapping a complete ban on the full Islamic veil but says outlawing the burqa in some places was justified for [...]

Pauline Hanson hates Muslims, decides to move to UK

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 [...]

Russia’s Scientology book ban doesn’t go far enough

A Russian court in Sergut, Eastern Siberia has today ruled that Scientology books and recordings authored by L. Ron Hubbard have “have been found extremist and will be banned from distribution in Russia“. To me this ban seems a little strange. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no fan of Scient0logy but I can’t decide what [...]

Revolution Muslim threatens South Park with violence

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: A positive example for Muslims in Australia

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 [...]

Sri Lankan & Afghans return fire over visa suspensions

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. The [...]

So what’s the deal with Asians and painful suicide?

I’m a guy. And I’m one of those guys that when reading something that involves pain and male privates, does that ‘squeeze your buttcheeks together whilst sitting on a chair’ thing. I don’t enjoy it but usually by the time it happens I’m too deep into a story to stop reading. So I continue reading [...]
