Thoughts on Carnita Matthews, burqas and balaclavas

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Thursday, June 23, 2011,
Now that justice has actually been served in the Carnita Matthews case, the right-wing racists and xenophobes are using the decision as justification to launch a new hate campaign! They have renewed their demands to have the burqa banned. Really, the gall of these Islamophobes is almost beyond belief.

Often, they cite the argument that it is oppressive to women. Excuse me! These are the same people who openly tell (and laugh at) blonde jokes! Can you believe the hypocrisy, fellow travellers? T...

Anzac Day, gay marriage and Muslims

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Monday, April 25, 2011,

Why am I not surprised at the appalling Andrew Bolt's bellicose reaction to sharia advocate Ibrahim Siddiq-Conlon's mildly provocative statements regarding his desire to have the law changed in Australia.

The bilious blowhard accuses him of being 'troubled" and "angry", then goes on to say: "The guy clearly is someone with an ego that’s outsized in comparison to his real worth, and is getting off on the attention."

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! (And I don't mean that in a racis...

Muslim group's critique of Christmas deemed evil by bigoted Britons

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Friday, December 24, 2010,
Fellow travellers, one thing that always angers me is how Christians are so intolerant of other people's worldviews. Be they worshippers of other gods, or none at all, Bible thumping conservatives just won't let them be.

Take the controversy over a planned campaign against Christmas by a group of UK Muslims. This collection of concerned and quite courageous citizens is rather insensitively labelled an "Islamic hate group" in this article.

Organisers plan to put up thousands of placards around t...
