Malcolm Turnbull (grey hair, glasses) and Liberal candidate Andrew Hastie campaigning in the Canning by-election at Halls Head.
Malcolm Turnbull is being warned against trying to shut down the growing debate over the link between Islam and terrorism, as Coalition MPs insist on the need to air conflicting views in order to avoid a more explosive social rift.
The furious dispute is turning into a test of power within the Coalition partyroom as MPs push back at the Prime Minister’s efforts to shape the discussion, amid controversy over the intervention of spy chief Duncan Lewis.
Liberal MPs told The Australian the Prime Minister needed to assure his colleagues he wanted an open debate that lived up to his pledge last week that “nobody” could tell MPs what to say.
Seriously, why would we want any of these people in Australia? They all need to be removed from our soil. Sooner is better.
It seems John Lyons, Associate Editor of the Oz, is hooked on the fantasy of “moderate” Islam, which is somehow (how exactly?) different from mainstream Islam. But there are a lot of worrisome details in this article, which should make it clear to the most obstinate multiculturalist, that we will never be able to coexist.
On August 9 this year, about 300 leading figures in Australia’s Muslim community gathered for a dinner at the Waterview reception centre in the Sydney suburb of Homebush.
While the Grand Mufti of Australia, Ibrahim Abu Mohamed, sat at his table, the evening was not about him — instead it was about feting Sheik Abdul Salam Zoud, one of the leading candidates to be the next grand mufti.
Muslims praise the guy , the way they always do. Profile: Sheikh AbdulSalam Zoud Sheikh AbdulSalam graduated from the Islamic University of Madinah with a B.A in Islamic Studies, with a major in Dawah and Usool ad-Deen. He has been actively involved in both the Arabic and English Dawah or Islamic propagation for the past 22 years in Australia. He is the Imam of Lakemba Musallah and giving inspiring Friday prayer sermons and lessons throughout the week. The Sheikh has captured the hearts of many with his unique character and teaching style. He is also the principal of the Islamic College of Australia, running in both English and Arabic.
Zoud is a Salafist — until a year ago a prominent member of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah, an extremist Salafist organisation with strong Wahhabi inclinations. He was educated at the Islamic University of Medina in Saudi Arabia, the spiritual home of Wahhabism — a hardline sect of Islam from which emerged al-Qa’ida and Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the September 11 attacks in the US.
The dinner was noteworthy for the fact the Grand Mufti did not speak — despite being the most senior imam, or Islamic scholar, in Australia. Instead, Zoud was the guest speaker and was celebrated as a returning son.

Promoting the hijrah, Mohammedan invasion:
If the future belongs to Islam, we don’t have one:
Future “refugees” have some fun with a Christian in Syria.
Not profiling by religion apparently means having to take in people
who have no such qualm (for benefits that are never really clear).
Israel: Arab Muslims murder Jews, the complicit UN accuses Israelis of using “excessive force” against Islamic killer zombies; and the Pal-‘authority’ produces vile cartoons that project their genocidal fantasies on Jews. We live in interesting times.
After a terrorist rammed his car into a crowded Jerusalem bus stop on Monday, ‘moderate‘ ‘Palestinian‘ President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazenjustified the terror, saying that it was part of a ‘justified popular uprising.’
We still have never encountered even one case where a terrorist complained about the absence of a two-state solution. Also, contrary to Abbas’s claim, none of the terrorists has ever complained about checkpoints or settlements.
This latest wave of terrorism is not about “despair,” unemployment, poor living conditions or freedom of movement. Instead, it is another attempt by Palestinian “youths” to eliminate Israel, again using the false excuse that Jews are “desecrating” and “destroying” Islamic holy sites.
A POLICE officer – who was told of the sexual abuse of children in Rotherham by an alleged victim – was also having sex with young girls, a court has heard.
The witness, giving evidence at Sheffield Crown Court today, said she told the officer – who she named as Det Con Kenneth Dawes – about the abuse.
She also claimed DC Dawes would have sex with the girls and pass drugs on to “Ash.”
The woman (36) said: “He (DC Dawes) wrote it down in a book and said he would get back to me, but never did.”
Michelle Colborne QC, prosecuting, asked how the woman knew DC Dawes.
She answered: “He used to come to the houses where we were.
“He used to have sex with girls and he used to take drugs from people and pass them on to Ash.”
The woman did not clarify which Ash she was referring to.
The complainant is the third alleged victim of the abuse to give evidence.
The jury has heard over the past three days that the woman was allegedly raped, sexually assaulted and beaten up by Arshid Hussain and his co-defendants Sajid and Majid Bostan and Qurban Ali.
The woman said the abuse began when she was 11 and put into care. She said it lasted until she was in her 20s when she became pregnant after Sajid and Arshid raped her.
She has also told the court Karen MacGregor and Shelley Davies forced her into sex ‘to pay her way’ when she lived at MacGregor’s Rawmarsh home.
The jury will hear this afternoon from the fourth alleged victim.
All defendants deny all the charges against them. The trial continues.
Should we be concerned about the “ultra-orthodox” now?
Army of Darkness: A Recent History Of The San Bernardino Shooter’s Terror-Linked, Ultra-Orthodox Islamic Sect
SAN BERNARDINO, California – When Breitbart News attendedthe Dar Al Uloom Islamiyah mosque – where terrorist Syed Farook once attended – leaders seemed unwilling to answer some basic, straight forward questions about what they teach at their masjid. Do they subscribe to the idea of an Islamic caliphate? Do they believe that the punishment for apostasy from Islam is death? Answer came there none.
Now it is becoming more clear why the group may have been avoiding the requisite transparency that we rightly expect of religious and community institutions.–Breitbart

This news story just gets bigger.
Did TURNBULL get ASIO chief Duncan Lewis to call Liberals who were critical of Islam, to shut them up?
Political journalist for The Australian, Greg Sheridan certainly seems to think so.
If this is the case, it is clear Turnbull has misused the office of PM. It also displays his lack of intestinal fortitude.
http://www.snappytv.com/tc/1142161
The message to the public from Mr Turnbull & his Chief of ASIO is that we must all be careful as to what we do and say re Muslims & Islam. They imply that this is because any muslim is a potentially dangerous would-be islamist terrorist who can be set off by an inadvertent, indiscreet or misconstrued word or what is perceived as a disrespectful and/or provocative act. Muslims on the other hand are free to do/say what they want to exercise our freedom of speech & action which we are being asked to give up.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says it is “appropriate” for ASIO director-general Duncan Lewis to “speak out” if the debate on counter-terrorism in Australia is concerning him.
The Australian has revealed Mr Lewis phoned Coalition politicians to urge them to use the soothing language favoured by Malcolm Turnbull in their public discussion of Islam.
“I don’t buy the notion that the issue of Islamic extremism is in some way fostered or sponsored or supported by the Muslim religion. I don’t buy that at all. I think it’s blasphemous to the extent that I can comment on someone else’s religion.’’
It gets worse:
The Australian newspaper is reporting that ASIO’s Director-General called Coalition MPs to urge them to use the so-called “soothing” language favoured by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull when discussing Islam.
It seems Duncan Lewis is more concerned about ‘blaspheming’ Islam than he is about protecting Australians!
Duncan Lewis has an unshakeable faith in Islam, even though can’t quote from the Koran. That, and his political interference, means he is not fit to head ASIO.–– Bernard Gaynor

There is no religion called “Abrahamism”. The Mohammedan Ibrahim is as perverted as the Muslim Jesus (Isa) who will break the cross, abolish the jiziya and kill the swine (the Christians) when Muhammad returns. How did this halfwit ever get to be a tenured professor?
The evangelical higher education institution Wheaton College has suspended tenured political science professor Larycia Hawkins after she asserted in a Facebook post last week that Muslims and Christians “worship the same God.”

“One may well ask how ‘the religion of peace’ became a brand of Islam, for the phrase cannot be found in the Qur’an, nor in the teachings of Muhammad.”
“Anyone Using The Phrase ‘Islam Is A Religion Of Peace’ Needs To Read This”, by Mark Durie, Independent Journal, December 17, 2015:
Days after the ISIS-inspired terrorist attack in San Bernardino, President Obama’s address to the nation concerning the threat of ISIS missed the mark. In fact, President Obama seemed at times to be more concerned with Americans ostracizing Muslim communities through “suspicion and hate,” than he was with protecting innocent American civilians from murder in the name of radical Islam.
It is high time for western political leaders to stop responding to terrorism by naming Islam as ‘the religion of peace’. It is time to have a hard conversation about Islam.
The West is in the throes of acute cognitive dissonance over Islam, whose brands are at war with each other. On the one hand we are told that Islam is the Religion of Peace. On the other hand we are confronted with an unending sequence of acts of terror committed in the name of the faith.
