10-year ban on Muslim immigration

[Mr.Fitnah]

A PETITION tabled in Federal Parliament calling for a 10-year ban on Muslim immigration has been labelled bigoted by a leader of the Islamic community.

ACT senator Gary Humphries last Thursday tabled the petition, signed by three Sydneysiders, calling for a 10-year moratorium on Muslim immigration and a review of Australia's immigration policy to ensure priority is given to Christians.

But the Liberal senator has defended his tabling of the "somewhat offensive" petition, which he acknowledges is potentially racist and bigoted, saying he presented it because it conformed with Senate standing orders.

"I certainly don't agree with what's in the document. I don't agree with the sentiments expressed by the petitioners," he told ABC Radio today.

"But I believe that they have the right to put that point of view in front of the members of the Federal Parliament."

Australia has immigration laws that key off of a person's religion? That seems odd.

 

[Mr.Fitnah]

Senator Humphries said the petition expressed a view about Australia's immigration policy and wasn't racially vilifying. He added he was a friend of Canberra's Islamic community.

But Australian Federation of Islamic Councils president Ikebal Patel said the document was bigoted.

"For God's sake we've gone beyond the white Australia policy and now we are talking about ... a policy that only allows Christians," he said.

"That's hardly a loving Christian to be very selective in whom you want to enter in your home."

Aborigines were not allowed to vote until the 60s, and as late as 1971 the country had a 'white' Australia policy.

Not if the religion want's to kill you.

Yes, true, but I always assumed these laws were keyed off one's nationality, and then refined for such things as health, income, etc.

What would prevent an aspiring immigrant from just lying about their religion?

I wonder. They are surely not in Turkey's leadership.

According to the Armenians, Kurds and Cypriots. Still going on.

CYPRUS PROBLEM: The Turkish Invasion

That Turkey committed atrocities in the course of her invasion is scarcely surprising in view of her record in the Balkans, in Syria, in Armenia and in Anatolia and her long-standing policies of population expulsion and transfer and of discrimination against non-Turkish ethnic groups.

Kurds: Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity

Since the Armenian genocide, Turkey has done very well to hide and disguise its dark history from the international community. But a shady past rarely dawns a bright future.


Instead, Turkey is re-branding itself with Europe-friendly terms to essentially get rid of what it has always wanted to be rid of. Turkey’s tidy up of its language: words with a distinct Kurdish origin wiped out and replaced. Indeed, anything that is not strictly Turkish has been linked to “terrorism” – a trigger word guaranteed to win the sympathies of the international community.


The Turkish constitution does not recognise Kurds in Turkey, and so often labels them as terrorists, providing a convenient scapegoat for military uprisings and other political issues. Thus, “terrorist” becomes a synonym for Kurds.


Turkey frequently argues that the PKK is a terrorist organisation; hence all Kurdish organisations are banned for what they may imply.


Turkey is desperately in need of an imaginary threat to its “national security”, “territorial integrity” and “sovereignty”, achieved by “separatist/terrorist” Kurds. The scale of the suffering Kurds and destruction of Kurdish homeland does not fit into any “terrorist” definition. In 1999, the death toll of Kurds killed in Turkish military operations increased to over 40,000. According to the figures published by Turkey’s own Parliament, 6,000 Kurdish villages were systematically evacuated of all inhabitants and 3,000,000 Kurds have been displaced. This sounds like an elimination of a people, a culture and a homeland

And it continues. Some say this kind of thing is not happening. That's because they hide their heads in the sand.

Or they agree with what is happening.

OR BOTH!

Nobody cares about the Turks or the Kurds, its all about money and what side can give you the most benefits, right now the Turks have more to offer than the Kurds so people turn a blind eye to this and do business with the Turks.
