The Australian newspaper is known for its hateful Islamaphobia, but its latest attempt at this black art really does take the cake read it here . They've managed to dig up a Muslim convert who's set up his own (probably three person?) sect called Sharia4Australia that aims to apparently destroy democracy, and introduce sharia law to Australia (yeah good luck with that). These sort of fruitcakes that can be usually found howling at the moon shouldn't be given print space by any respectable broadsheet, but of course The Australian is not a respectable newspaper.
Naturally the hundreds of heretic Christian sects don't seem to get a run for some reason in The Australian, only the "evil" Muslims do.
But if that's not enough, the designated "hero" of the piece is an "Australian army veteran" by the name of Jack Zedee, who - get this - is a senior member of a pro guns group called Firearms Forum. So these two opposing extremists (religious nut and gun nut) are set to square off in a public debate tonight at the bastion of civility, Parramatta Town Hall.
I mean really, this is comical stuff, this is all fodder for Today Tonight, but hardly fitting for our "leading" broadsheet.
So if anything nasty happens tonight in Parramatta, will The Australian accept any responsibility for enraging the simpletons?
I just realsed they dedicated a WHOLE frontpage (remember this is a broadsheet!) to this.
ReplyDeletewhat an awful, awful paper......but I better be careful what I say, their editor has a habit of suing bloggers......
