Australia’s PM Abbott’s Statement About ISIS

PM Abbot made a true statement:

“The Nazis did terrible evil, but they had a sufficient sense of shame to try to hide it,” Abbott said. “These people boast about their evil, this is the extraordinary thing,” Abbot said of Islamic State fighters.

“They act in the way that medieval barbarians acted, only they broadcast it to the world with an effrontery which is hard to credit,” he added.

However, Executive Council of Australian Jewry President Robert Goot said there was a “fundamental difference between organized acts of terrorism and a genocide systematically implemented by a state as essential policy.”

The Islamic State would have no problem implementing a policy of genocide against the Jews if there were any within their territory. If they had a nuke, they’d use it on Israel.

Abbott later said he wasn’t in the business of ranking evil, but stood by his comments.

“I do make this point, that unlike previous evil-doers, whether we’re talking about Stalin, Hitler or whoever, that tried to cover up their evil, this wretched death cult boasts about it,” Abbott told reporters.

  1. The really extraordinary thing about ISIS that non-Muslims find so hard to understand is that what we see as evil they see as holy and in accordance with Allah’s will. So it is written in their scriptures which they follow to the letter. Within the Islamic frame of reference they are not evil deviants, they are doing things “by the book”.
