According to the news coming out of Australia in the wake of yesterday’s massacre on Bondi Beach in Sydney, the Australian people are angry. They are fed up. They should be. Yet, as is all-too-often the case, their political leaders are never fed up. Presently, Australia has a prime minister, Anthony Albanese of the Labour Party, who seemingly doesn’t care if his people are fed up with Islamists, Jihadists, Jew haters, and people screaming, “Globalize the Intifada”. In September, his government recognized a Palestinian state, in effect, rewarding the atrocities of October 7, 2023. Australia, thus, joined other countries like Canada, Spain, and France who have followed the same naïve path in recent months. Did Albanese think that by placating the Palestinian lobby, Australian Jews and Australians in general would now be safe from Islamic terrorism? Welcome to the real world, Mr. Albanese. Have we all not learned by now that rewarding Hamas and the Palestinians for their horrible massacre of October 7 goes against common sense? Have we not learned by now that the only thing these barbarians understand is strength and brute force?
Last September 7, that same Bondi Beach was the scene of a pro-Palestinian demonstration in which people were proclaiming the Holy Intifada, as pro-Hamas lunatics have been doing for years all over the world, including the US. I’ve heard it so many times on campuses and on the streets that it’s ringing in my ears. It is nothing more than a call to kill Jews, around the world, “wherever you find them” as that 1400-year-old ditty goes. That is exactly what “Globalize the Intifada” means, and it played out yesterday in Sydney.
It is also playing out in New York, Paris, London, Vienna, Berlin, Stockholm, Malmo, Amsterdam, Rome, Brussels, and countless other places in the Western world. Places where Jews cannot go out in public wearing distinctive Jewish garb (also places where women don’t go at night no matter what they wear, but that’s a different story even though the perps are the same). If it is true that Australians are fed up, it is also true that Europeans are fed up. Canadians and Americans are also fed up. Yet, with the exception of the US and Italy, their governments are not listening to them. The flow of new arrivals just keeps on coming. Crime and welfare costs keep rising, terrorist attacks keep happening (Europe is presently dealing with attacks and plans to attack their Christmas markets), Jews keep getting attacked, anti-Semitism has reached levels not seen since the 1930s, and our leaders wring their hands.
So now we have a Pakistani-born father and his son (born in Australia), who are so indignant about the plight of the Palestinians that they go out and kill 15 or so Jews who were simply celebrating Hannukah on a beach. When and where will this happen next in the Western world?
As I so often do after events like these, I repeat that we should not respond by attacking Muslims on the street or setting fire to their mosques. Indeed, it appears that a Muslim street vendor in Sydney named Ahmed al-Ahmed actually grabbed one of the killers and disarmed him. The man is a hero, and I pay tribute to him. There have been differing accounts on the Web as to whether he is a Muslim or a Christian, but God forbid that he would have to suffer discrimination because of his religion or Middle Eastern appearance. I have no desire to write about Muslims what the notorious Jew-baiter of Nuremberg, Julius Streicher, wrote about Jews in his weekly, Der Stuermer. I admit, I am walking a fine line, but we cannot remain silent.
And that is the quandary we are faced with. We now have millions of Muslims in our Western countries, most of whom have done nothing (wherever their inner sympathies may lie). I wish them no harm, but in a certain respect they are becoming increasingly irrelevant to the discussion which we must have even if it hurts their sensibilities. The simple fact we must admit is that pure Islam is not compatible with Western values. While many, if not most Muslims may practice their religion peacefully and with tolerance, Islam is not a religion of peace and tolerance. It is anti-Christian and even more so anti-Jewish. And above all, it is violent. The fact that most Muslims are peaceful is irrelevant. The fact is that too many are not peaceful, too many are ticking time bombs, and too many are one mouse click away from becoming radicalized and joining the jihad.
We cannot continue to allow millions of Muslims to enter our countries and expect our innocent people to pay for it with their lives. This is exactly what is taking place in Western Europe more than anyplace else. Too many people are dying and too many women are being raped. And it is all a result their government’s mistaken migration and asylum policies, and our own political correctness. The term “Islamophobia” was coined a couple of decades ago by Islamists precisely for the purpose of silencing any criticism of Islam and its terrorist associations. It is time to laugh that word out of usage. Phobias are supposed to be irrational fears, not fears based on reason.
Whatever the proportion of the Muslim population in our respective countries is, that percentage must not be allowed to grow. If we have to put the brakes on all immigration (so as not to be discriminatory), so be it. The so-called asylum-seekers who do not have a valid claim should be sent home. The same goes for any foreigner (of any stripe, actually) who commits a crime in our countries.
We are not bigots, racists, or xenophobes. We are just fed up.

Islam is counter to the values of Western Civilization and should not be allowed within it. It is like tuberculosis or any other disease that effects the body politic. Islamic resisdents should only be allowed to stay if they renounce Islam.
“Islamic residents should only be allowed to stay if they renounce Islam.”
The question is, how do we verify this? Remember Takiyya…
Leaving aside the jihad and the rapes, etc, focus on the apostasy law and the blasphemy law, both of them part and parcel of Islam.
Those – for any free or formerly-free western country – should have been the ‘deal-breakers’ that prevented ANY mohammedan immigration.
ANY organisation that was identified as 1/ stipulating that any person who joined but then subsequently decided to leave, must be KILLED… and 2/ that any person born into the organisation but subsequently deciding to leave, must be KILLED and 3/ that any person daring to publicly criticise and/or make fun of any member of that organisation, and/or of its putative founder, and/or its many execrable past and present customs and practices (which include slavery, polygyny, forced veiling of females, ‘marriage’ to minor girls, etc) must be KILLED…. should surely have been proscribed from entering any free country! No identifiable members of that Organisation should be let in through the gates; the risk is far too great.
Re the apostasy law…. any number of brave ex-Muslims can testify to it being a reality… so many of them have to live under changed names, in hiding, like fugitives from the Mob. Which they are.. they are fugitives from the Mohammedan Mob. Ex-Muslim Patrick Sookhdeo’s book ‘Freedom to Believe: Challenging islam’s apostasy law’ gives a clear and comprehensive overview of that aspect of Islam, both historically and in the present day.. making it quite clear that the rule that apostates should be killed .. or if not killed, then certainly treated very very badly… is no ‘dead letter’ from the distant past.
The dead bodies in the ‘Charlie Hebdo’ building.. and any number of other dead bodies … and threatened people… and the misery of so many who, in places like Pakistan, are not just accused of ‘blasphemy!’ but are FALSELY accused for cruel fun and profit, to terroirse and weaken their non-Islamic minority communities – make it abundantly clear that the ‘blasphemy law’ is also active and at work within the Mohammedan mob.
Those two things alone – locked-in elements of the core Islamic programme – which flatly contradict the principles of 1/ freedom of religion and 2/ freedom of speech, freedom of thought – should be cited over and over when calling upon our idiot politicians to just, plain, STOP the influx of any more Muslims into our countries.. and figure out ways to impel those already present, to LEAVE.
