“Former prime minister Tony Abbott used an opinion piece last week to call for a ‘religious reformation’ within in [sic] Islam. Mr Abbott called for a ‘hearts and minds campaign against the versions of Islam that make excuses for terrorists, saying Islam had not undergone an equivalent version of the Reformation and Enlightenment in Christian […]
Australian PM: Islamic State “nothing to do with God…nothing to do with religion”
“This is the grim reality the world faces now, this is why it is so important that what’s being done by Daesh (IS) has nothing to do with God, it has nothing to do with religion…” In other words, it is “so important,” says Tony Abbott, to maintain politically correct fictions that prevent us from […]
Australia PM: Only effective defense against terror persuading people God doesn’t demand death to infidel
Abbott is right: the only effective defense against jihad terror will be to confront its ideology. I have no idea if Abbott himself realizes what this will entail, but it is encouraging at very least that he has enunciated this, which no other Western leader is willing to acknowledge. Obama, Cameron and the others all […]
Muslim male model from Australia dies fighting for Islamic State; Australia PM says Islamic State “not about religion”
How ignorant and self-deluded is Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott about the jihad threat? This ignorant and self-deluded. Upon learning of the death of Sharky Jama, asked Muslims in Australia to stop “going overseas to join these terrorist groups. Don’t. They are death cults. That’s what they are.

Australia: PM announces he will strip returning jihadis of citizenship
This is long overdue. Other countries in the West should follow suit. Obama should also consider imitating Abbott’s relative forthrightness in articulating what we’re up against: “The Islamist death-cult has declared war on the world.” The word “Islamist” is often used to create an artificial distance between jihadis and the teachings of Islam that inspire […]
Thirty jihadis return to Australia after waging jihad in Iraq and Syria
Thirty battle-hardened Muslims committing to waging jihad against Infidels, returning to Australia after having aligned themselves with an entity that considers itself to be at war with Australia. What could possibly go wrong? “Thirty jihadis return home to Australia after being foreign fighters,” by Annika Smethurst, AAP, February 23, 2015 (thanks to Peter): UPDATE: THE […]
Australian PM Abbott: “We don’t know the motivation” for cafe siege
Yes, just ignore that black flag of Islamic jihad that the hostages were forced at gunpoint to hold up at the window. We have no idea what its significance could possibly be! But we do know that it has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with Islam! “Tony Abbott: ‘We don’t know the motivation,’” Guardian, December […]
