Mark Latham’s latest column deals with Islam’s core problem in Australia.
Reminder:
“Muhammad was once a refugee taken in by the Jewish City of Medina. Within 5-years, he had driven out, executed, or enslaved every jew there.”
Mark Latham: User friendly Muslims can’t hide their outdated message
IN recent years the ABC, SBS, Fairfax and Channel 10 have promoted Waleed Aly and Yassmin Abdel-Magied as celebrity Muslims, supposedly giving the public a soothing, reasoned understanding of their religion.
But yet again — this time following the release of the Hizb ut-Tahrir video justifying domestic violence — Aly and Abdel-Magied have been caught short.
Instead of calling for the reform of Islam (abandoning fundamentalist parts of the Koran) both have tried to depict the video as an aberration.
Message to Latham: the Qur’an is the unmitigated word of allah, a testament of divine revelations that are immutable, for all time and any place. That’s why Islam can never be reformed.
Last week they directed their audiences to an old YouTube video of Muslim clerics opposing domestic assault and advising women to seek help. Neither Aly nor Abdel-Magied has criticised the teachings of the Koran or called for any recasting of its text.
This is the core problem with Islam in Australia.
