The great Tim Blair once put it succinctly: Muslims Fear Repercussions Over Tomorrow’s Train Bombing. As Blair said, a nanosecond can now be defined as “the gap between a Western terrorist incident and the press release of a Muslim lobby group warning of an impending outbreak of Islamophobia”.
After a series of ‘pro-Palestine’ anti-Semitic terror attacks in Sydney, Muslim representatives are acting predictably true to form. “What about us?” they whine.
Labor politicians desperately dependent on the Muslim vote in western Sydney are only too happy to indulge the Islamic glass-jawed hypocrisy.
Education Minister Jason Clare says anti-Semitism and Islamophobia are both a “parasite that eats away” at Australian society, following a graffiti attack in the western Sydney suburb of Chester Hill.
The graffiti over the weekend reportedly read, ‘f..k Islam’ and ‘cancel Islam’.
Mr Clare, who represents the Muslim-heavy western Sydney seat of Blaxland, said “whether it’s anti-Semitism on the streets of Sydney or Islamophobia, both are just as bad as one another”.
Riiiiiggghhtttt… because some old graffiti is ‘just as bad’ as firebombing a synagogue and multiple Jewish suburbs, weekly marches brandishing anti-Semitic slogans and lauding Muslim terror groups and celebrating the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
Images published by The Guardian show the words “F**K ISLAM” tagged on each side of a railway underpass on Hector Street.
In another image, the words “CANCEL ISLAM” can be seen partially covered with white paint on advertising sign.
In other words, it seems to be so old that it’s already being painted over. This is how hard the apologists for Islam have to dig in order to find their so-called ‘Islamophobia’. A term, by the way, which Andrew Cummins dismissed as “a word created by fascists, and used by cowards, to manipulate morons”. Even its populariser, former head of Britain’s Commission for Racial Equality, later said that he regretted ever promoting what he had come to realise was an invariably false accusation.
But contrast Labor’s near-instantaneous shrieking over two graffiti tags, to its heel-dragging over more than a year of increasingly violent anti-Semitism.
In a statement, Premier Chris Minns said that “vandalism like this, that is aimed at particular religions is designed to incite hatred and is completely abhorrent”.
This is the same Chris Minns who was silent as thousands of Muslims were allowed to storm the steps of the Sydney Opera House, chanting ‘Gas the Jews!’, two days after the October 7 attacks. The only person arrested on that grim night was a Jew carrying an Israeli flag.
And of course Muslim organisations are losing their minds.
Bilal Rauf, a spokesperson for the Australian National Imams Council, called it deplorable and was concerned there were people in the community who wanted to express so much “hatred and vile thoughts”.
Yet, when Islamic cleric Sheikh Ibrahim Dadoun celebrated on October 7, 2023, telling a cheering crowd that he was ‘elated’ at ‘a day of happiness’, the Australian National Imams Council refused to condemn Dadoun for declaring that he was ‘smiling’ and ‘happy’ at the mass rape, torture, slaughter, and hostage-taking. Which is no surprise, really, given that the hate preacher was their Director of Public Relations.
The ANIC has also repeatedly called for a ‘ceasefire’, without one mention of releasing the hundreds of Israelis held hostage by Hamas.
So, excuse me if I don’t take their pearl-clutching over two pieces of graffiti seriously.
