Muslims riot in Sydney.

There are plenty of videos of these events online. Lovely signs, some held by young children, included such messages as, "BEHEAD ALL THOSE WHO INSULT THE PROPHET", "SHARIAH WILL DOMINATE THE WORLD", AND " "OUR DEAD ARE IN PARADISE, YOUR DEAD ARE IN HELL". These rioters, numbering in the hundreds, also assaulted police officers (and police dogs).

Remember though, this is just a tiny teensy weensy eenie meenie fringe minority of "extremists". Edited September 24, 2012 by kraychik

The Perth incident is evidently quite similar, if not worse, than the Sydney protest as far as objective facts go, and it occurred on the very same night. Yet it has been treated very differently.

It received nowhere near as much media coverage. It was not dubbed the "Perth riots". Politicians did not fall over one another to condemn the violence. Federal Parliament did not see a need to raise the issue in question time and forward bipartisan condemnation. Parents and community leaders in Piara Waters were not asked to condemn the behaviour, nor did they themselves go out of their way offer to apologies or to condemn the violence.

Why the difference?

The Sydney Morning Herald has decried the double standard at play here.

So an op-ed from a Muslim apologist for these Islamist riots is supposed to accomplish what other than continuing to reveal your dishonesty?

It gets a few points across to those who haven't pre-judged an entire religion.

For those interested in actually reading the article linked by Michael Hardner, consider that it was written by Uthman Badar, who "is the spokesman of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Australia, an Islamic political party that is dedicated to the unification of the Muslim world under Islamic law." Michael Hardner has now mobilised from simple deflection from and apologism for Islamism to outright support of it.

Nice.

Shady will be on this thread soon to warn you against intellectual dishonesty. There are valid points being made - can you handle it or will you flee from them ?

I meant to type "has now". And now, no valid points are made. A video made in America lampooning Islam its prophet Muhamad has nothing to do with Australia, but that didn't stop a bunch of Islamists from going on a riot and assaulting police officers and their dogs. No double standard here, whatsoever. Please feel free to continue sourcing Islamists and their apologists.

I would rather have you apologize for the blatant double standard than to ignore it as you have done.

Why talk about religion, if this doesn't have anything to do with religion ? Didn't you say you don't dislike Muslims ? Well, we're free of that then aren't we ?

These Australian men were wearing burkas in order to do research about security problems associated with women who wear burkas. Here are "moderate Muslims" reacting "peacefully" to this research. Michael Hardner, hopefully, will come in to make some excuses for their behaviour.

You haven't answered my question - and instead posted some videos in reply.

This is a discussion forum - do you have something to discuss ? I will answer your questions if you answer mine.

There's no need to "pre-judge" anything. The deadly riots over a 14 minute crappy video clip speak for themselves. I think the video clip has actually been immensely successful in that regard.

they should channel the rioting rage into sports, instead of politics. after all, sports is the opiate of the people.

The point is that you're judging an entire group of people based on poor behavior of a few. The assumption is that people normally don't do that, unless they have a bias against the group in question in the first place.

Nobody's judging an entire group of people except you, when you judge all of us of thoughtcrime.

All while your thought crimes talk about 'leftists'.
