“Lest We Forget”

1. Barnaby Joyce is on the right track. Reduce ABC’s funding to zero. I’m sure Saudi Arabia will step in to rescue “their” ABC.

   1. Barnaby Joyce called for reducing ABC funding to zero? That’s news to me. Have you got a link?

      As far as I know, Pauline Hanson demanded that the ABC’s funding be cut by half. Not a word from Barnaby.

2. Many of those supporting this woman are missing the point. The essential point is simply this: Abdel Magied is a Muslim. In Islam, there is no concept of patriotism or love of country. The only Islamic imperative is to spread Islam, by any means possible, until the whole world becomes Islamic. Then the concept of Jahiliyyah kicks in. This holds that the pre-Islamic period was a state of ignorance, and national and (non-Islamic) religious symbols must be destroyed, and traditions deliberately dishonoured. Surely it then all becomes kinda obvious? Of course this woman will regard Australia’s national traditions and beliefs with total contempt. They pre-date the estabishment of the Islamic State in Australia, so of course they count for nothing. This country must, must, must stop importing people like this. It’s cultural and national suicide.

3. Looks like Aussies are getting very fed up with Mohammedan da’awa clowns dissing everything we hold dear:

   *** SO! .. All the politicians have had something to say…. HOW about actually DOING SOMETHING ABOUT this filthy slag. ****
   ONE Nation leader Pauline Hanson has condemned Yassmin Abdel-Magied who claimed that Anzac Day should be spent thinking about Manus Island detainees, not Diggers.
   “I am disgusted to hear about Yassmin Abdel-Magied’s comments. Yesterday means so much to all Australians.
   “She has no understanding, no idea. The federal government has paid her to travel the world, I think to promote her book, she just wouldn’t have a clue.
   “She has done her dash with most Australians who will never forget her comments. Never.”
   Adding to the chorus of criticism is Acting Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, who said the ABC should think about taking further action against Abdel-Magied.
   “They make life exceedingly difficult for people like myself on the Expenditure Review Committee when we’re fighting for funds when issues such as this are brought up to us,” he said.
   “You can’t just sweep it under the carpet.
   “It starts to become a sense that the culture of the ABC is in some instances at odds with the culture of Australia.
   This follows Muslim leader Abbas Aly, a spokesman for Imam Hasan Centre in Annangrove who said he was “at a loss as to how to deal with individuals seeking publicity who continue to damage the Australian Muslim Community”.
   “On behalf of the Hills Muslim community and almost all others I can assure you that the words used by this person does not in any way reflect our views,” he said.
   The ABC refuses to sack or even condemn their star broadcaster and PC poster girl who claimed Anzac Day should be spent thinking about Manus Island detainees, not Diggers.
   Presenter Yassmin Abdel-Magied, who labels herself “first and foremost … Muslim”, caused outrage after hijacking the sacred “Lest We Forget” tribute in a sickening insult to the nation’s war dead.
   As soldiers marched across the nation, the Sudan-born Australia Wide presenter posted on Facebook: “Lest. We. Forget. (Manus, Nauru, Syria, Palestine …)”
   Mr Aly added, “I would like to let you know that the Muslim community is grateful that Ron Brown, James Gilhooly and the Anzac Day Dawn Service Trust kindly accepted our offer to donate towards the dawn service and are committed to continue doing so into the years.
   “Before anyone asks, the Imam Hasan Centre in Annangrove does not receive any government funding and although not required to as a religious body, it pays its council rates and council contributions.
   “We are proud Australians and love our home dearly.”
   The public backlash has been swift. In less than 24 hours, over 1,000 people have signed a petition calling on ABC managing director Michelle Guthrie to terminate Abdel-Magied’s employment with the taxpayer-funded broadcaster.
   Acting Veterans’ Affairs Minister Troy Grant slammed Abdel-Magied saying, “The public were absolutely right to demand Ms Abdel-Magied apologise for her comments.
   “On April 25 we expect all Australians to stop and give thanks for the dedication of those before us who fought for the freedoms our country holds dear, and to those who continue in this tradition of service and sacrifice. Anzac Day is sacred, should be kept above politics and certainly not hijacked for grandstanding.”
   Immigration Minister Peter Dutton slammed the activist as “a disgrace” while federal MP George Christensen demanded the ABC sack her.
   “It is a disgrace that on our most significant national day … this advocate seeks to make political mileage,” Mr Dutton said.
   However, the ABC has stood behind Ms Abdel-­Magied, who has previously caused controversy after ­declaring Islam was the “most feminist religion”.
   A spokeswoman would say only: “(She introduces) stories done by ABC reporters from around the country … when presenting for the ABC she works in ­accordance with ABC editorial and other policies.”
   Sudanese-born politician Edmond Atalla weighed into the debate this morning, with the Labor MP for Mount Druitt saying: “These comments are not appropriate and shows the lack of understanding of what Anzac is all about.
   “At the very least Ms Abdel-Magied should apologise to all those she has offended by these outrageous remarks.”
   Ms Abdel-Magied later deleted the post, and apologised after “it was brought to my ­attention that my last post was disrespectful”. The 26-year-old has previously been a member of the federal Anzac ­Centenary Commemoration Youth Working Group.
   A furious Mr Christensen said she “should no longer be on the public broadcaster’s tax-funded payroll”.
   Assistant Cities Minister Angus Taylor said the post “showed a profound lack of judgment”. Communication Minister Mitch Fifield said Anzac Day was reserved as an occasion “to honour the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform”.
   Ms Abdel-Magied caused a furore in February after a ­heated exchange on ABC’s Q & A program with Senator Jacqui Lambie, during which she said Islam was “the most feminist religion”.
   SBS sacked sports reporter Scott McIntyre in 2015 after he lashed out on Anzac Day and said the commemoration was “remembering the summary execution, widespread rape and theft committed by these ‘brave’ Anzacs”. Mr McIntyre later sued SBS for wrongful dismissal, reaching an out-of-court settlement last year.
   Tasmanian senator Eric Abetz said Ms Abdel-Magied’s post was “disrespectful” and “deeply reprehensible”.
   Ms Abdel-Magied did not respond to requests for ­comment.
   WHO SAID WHAT
   PAULINE HANSON:
   “I’m disgusted with the social media comments made by Yassmin Abdel-Magied.
   “Scott McIntyre was sacked from SBS in 2015 for his comments towards Anzacs, which I agree with. And they’re quick to sideline an anchor women for missing her cue after a story finished and left her on screen fiddling with a pen.
   “Are some employees on the ABC a protected species? It’s time for tokenism to end in this country.”
   ERIC ABETZ:
   “Yassmin Abdel-Magid’s unfortunate and disrespectful Facebook post today, of all days, is deeply reprehensible.
   “Tens of thousands of Australians, from all walks of life, have gone to war and paid the ultimate sacrifice.
   “Today we pay tribute to them, not seek to use their sacrifice for cheap political point scoring as Ms Abdel Magied has done.
   “The freedom she enjoys to make such disrespectful comments is what the people who we commemorate today fought and died for.
   “But that is where self-discipline, respect and decency need to be added into the equation, something Ms Abdel-Magied has displayed she lacks.”
   ANDREW HASTIE Former Army Captain, now MP
   “She demands protection for her pet issues, yet is more than happy to disrespect a day cherished by everyday Australians.
   “She trashes who we are as Australians and what our forbears have sacrificed. The backlash is a sign of healthy democracy. People won’t tolerate an assault on our national character and traditions.”
   ROBERT BORSAK (Shooters, Fishers and Farmers NSW)
   “Ms Abdel-Magied’s denigrating comments are absolutely disgusting and show no love of Australia whatsoever.
   “She wouldn’t even be able to live in this country if it wasn’t for the sacrifice of those we remember and honour every Anzac Day.
   “Anzac Day is to honour those who have given their all in the service of our country, not for furthering Ms Abdel-Magied’s own political agenda.”
   COMMUNICATIONS MINISTER MITCH FIFIELD:
   “ANZAC DAY is reserved as an occasion to honour the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform. “Lest We Forget” are solemn and precious words to be used with reverence and respect. Australians would be appalled by someone attempting to hijack and debase this national time of reflection through crude politicisation.”

4. Hanson is, again, 100% wrong on Islam and Islamists like Magied. Magied is a degree educated Engineer who speaks at least 2 languages, has worked for a number of blue chip Comapnies in her field, has travelled the world extensively, has had and currently holds a number of positions on boards/quango’s with the Government including I understand some role with ANZAC commemoration and is a person who describes herself as first and foremost a Muslim. This woman is no clueless idiot. She is a well educated, clever and calculating islamist who knows full well what she is saying and doing. She would have known that politicizing Anzac Day for political Islamic and other political positions would be offensive to normal patriotic Australians and either didn’t care and did it, or did it deliberately. But clueless she is most definitely not. Hanson does us all an disservice by playing down the cunning and conniving nature of Islamists like Magied.
   This is a woman who ‘wishes to learn’ from Islamist organizations like Hitz Ut Tahrir. FFS.

   1. “Breaking down barriers”.

5. Agree with Gray and Captain et al. (mine way too verbose below….)

   ABDEL MAGIED is a knowingly Divisive, Manipulative sociopath who feels completely untouchable because she is the ABC’s poster muslim female.
   ABDEL MAGIED is an undergrad mechanical engineer who speaks several languages fluently and sits on several Australian boards and is a paid Federal Government board member for Quango and also importantly was previously on the ANZAC youth commemoration board!

   ABDEL MAGIED did not make a ‘mistake’ or ‘have any profound misunderstanding’ of what ANZAC Day means in Australia.
   This is evidenced by many previous statements but to name a few: the timing of her post – there is one ANZAC day per year, ABDEL MAGIED’s knowledge of the importance and history of ANZAC Day is evidenced by her membership in previous years of the Federal Youth Commemoration ANZAC board in 2014.

   Her intention to incite hatred and division is evidenced by ABDEL MAGIED’s words which intentionally exclude any reference to our brave ANZACS and replace it with her alternate meaning for ANZAC Day. That is Muslims in particular (we assume given her agenda Q&A with Lambie etc) living in middle eastern countries who are also fighting muslim civil wars which are about power and greed and which have gone on for thousands of years in the name of anything other than democracy or freedom of thought or speech.

   ABDEL MAGIED feels so untouchable in her position with the ABC and Federal board roles that she can denigrate the memory of our ANZAC diggers by actually deleting the intention of the profound words Australians all know to mean LEST WE FORGET….our brave ANZACS! Of WWI anon.

   ABDEL MAGIED’s blashemy is an intentional deletion. It is done either without caring at all about Australian values or in defiance of them or both. It is deliberately done imho to provoke controversy and hatred. It implies that there was no WWI or WWII no holocaust no reason for brave ANZACS and to all genuine Australians you are nothing but ignorant, uneducated and narrow minded *(unlike the taxpayer funded trips of ABDEL promoting her book etc). The ‘dumb ozzie and kiwi’ doesn’t understand what is an important issue in the world!
   Its not ANZAC Day that’s old fashioned and out of date ABDEL MAGIED agenda is get with the social education agenda its anything about muslim or other citizens caught up in ongoing 1000 year old muslim wars based on an outdated medieval quran in places like Syria. Places where the only solution is a political one but which have evaded democratic rule for thousands of years so far!

   ABDEL is here to righteously teach us Ozzies a lesson or two and replace LEST WE FORGET with a singular reference to Manus Island detainees we presume she means not to herself as a Sudanese migrant whose ANZAC tradition here allowed her to come to Australia and be safe from female genital mutilation. ABDEL’S reference to all Ozzies on ANZAC Day is about the yet to be processed and in some cases illegal detainees of Manus Island.

   The conspiracy theory must be alive and well. The reason for taking our time and processing properly and with care is actually to protect Australians and Australian Borders from ‘extremist’ terrorism in particular ISIS/ISIL and those that seek to do harm around the world against so called ‘infidels’ and who do not hold our Australian values or belief system for example celebrating and thanking those who came before us on ANZAC Day.

   But no, ABDEL wants us to focus on Manus Island and Syria etc (not because the ABC and other left wing funded chardonnay socialists don’t already give air time every day all year to how Australia’s most generous welfare and migrant policies need to be better ….) and to other non-Australians ie Syrians fighting civil wars – whom have nothing to do with the reason for our ANZAC Day tradition. In Syria these citizens are suffering and are living as they have for thousands of years and fighting their own civil wars in overseas countries many are in middle eastern countries and suffering the tide of muslim extremism and hatred spread by ISIL/ISIS and other terrorists or gorilla groups made up of in the main ‘muslim extremists and fundamentalists who think democracy must be blown up and crushed lest they lose their power. Like Syria. But we on one day a year showing our thanks for the protection and democracy and freedom in Austalia to our brave ANZACS must be taught a lesson in priorities by ABDEL the Muslim islamist preaching her word.

   ANZAC Day means knowing and appreciating why we are Australian because it is the one day of the year where we given an opportunity to remember and pay our thanks and grace to our brave ancestors and friends’ ancestors who gave up so much for our freedom and democracy that we treasure today. To PROTECT us. It is our Australian’s National Day of Remembrance.

   We are rightly very proud of our ANZACS and today’s defence forces and personel who did and continue to so much to PROTECT US, Australians and Australia. Their sacrifice for our democratic Australian way of life and freedom of association in our society.

   ABDEL MAGIED, by hijacking the meaning of our National day and deleting the meaning of our national words of over 100 years ago LEST WE FORGET and trying to turning it against the good people of Australia and New Zealand on our NATIONAL DAY.
   ABDEL MAGIED is a disgrace and should be removed immediately by the ABC from any tax payer funded position.
   ABDEL MAGIED implies very strongly by publishing to the world and defaming the good people of Australia and New Zealand that not only are they not allowed to remember solemnly their National ANZAC Day but that the day should mean 101 of lessons from the teacher about how Austalians deserve ridicule and punishment for being proud Australians on ANZAC day ………..such that the lesson to all ‘Ozzies’ is wake up! LEST WE FORGET (the manus island detainees; the muslim fundamentalism for thousands of years causing widespread war and fleeing of its fellow citizens from Syria…)

   Not only does ABDEL MAGIED incite division and hatred against the majority of genuine ‘Australians’ whose ancestors were ANZACS who fought in WW1 from 1914 and later WWII but she inflicts a double dose of vile hatred and harm by causing and inflaming division and fear against the genuine ‘muslim Australian’ and migrant muslim Australians, who may or not be fundamental islamists. Many of those fleeing from persecution as migrants from muslim or middle eastern countries are minority groups who are Christians seeking anything like a safe harbour and one of the greatest is the ANZAC created Australia.

   The last person these terrified migrants from muslim countries wish to be identified with as belonging to their community or publicly seeking a quran hatred spewing out vile hate slogans is ABDEL MAGIED.

   The tax payer funded left wing socialist bureaucrats of the ABC are worse for employing ABDEL MAGIED and then actively providing and continuing to allow an Australian taxpayer funded platform to enable the hatred inciting islamic divisive ABDEL MAGIED to preach and spread her hatred inspired quran agenda against non-islamist fellow Australians.

   In particular Christians and those from Jewish backgrounds were the majority of our ancestors in Australia and are the proud foundation of Australia’s short history over 200 years ago.’

   These same ancestors were the ANZACS and current day defence forces who sacrificed so much willingly by giving up their personal comforts and freedoms to fight for our freedom in foreign countries in order to protect us and maintain our democracy.
   ANZACS and the defence forces – many losing their lives being permanently disabled by war in Australia’s fight for our freedoms that ABDEL MAGIED thinks she can patronise despite having been involved herself personally on a Federally funded 2014 youth ANZAC board?
   Further so many ANZACS and defence forces had and continue to silently suffer from the horrendous trauma and displacement in many cases with severe post traumatic stress disorder that can affect many family relationships and can continue to be reflected in poor communications for generations of families.

   ABDEL MAGIED’s agenda is to incite and inflame the quran message of hatred of the infidel to be infiltrated across Australia.

   But for the ANZAC diggers ABDEL MAGIED would not be living her from Sudan.
   ABDEL MAGIED would not have been given the luxury of our Australian ANZAC created democracy and freedoms.
   But for the ANZACs and their allies, ABDEL MADIED would still be living as a Muslim most likely in Sudan or another country but not in Australia because if Japan’s invasion was successful then JAPAN would have most likely continued as they do in Japan as we know it by implementing their long standing belief and tradition of racial homogeny.
   No Muslim Sudanese or other migrants of Muslim indoctrination allowed in Japan.
   A large part of Japan’s belief in creating and maintaining an homogenous racial country is in particular banning all Muslim immigrants and banning the preaching of the quran because of its hatred for non islamists.
   I suggest the ABC and Federal government post ABDEL MAGIED in Japan indefinitely to spread her reformation and social media twitters in one of our now long allied countries like Japan or South Korea and see how successful ABDEL is with her muslim hatred of infidels! And her opposition disorder to ‘PEACE’ keeping and global harmony she can go to Syria for another indefinite post to see if she can spread a real message of hope in our World to enable a strong secure safe future of all its citizens, their children and their grandchildren etc.

   Abdel Magied while travelling promoting her book on taxpayer funds from Australian citizens might start to take notes from a genuine peace- keeping muslim who is a proud citizen of the world- MALALA YOUSAFZAI.

   1. That last sentence absolutely ruined your post, oyster!
