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,
As we all know, Anzac Day is a truly appalling celebration of white male war-lust. The very fact that Australia even continues to repeat this offensive ritual is beyond me. But the nation keeps doing it for some reason. Really, it's like a dog returning to its vomit. (And that would have to be a domesticated dog, BTW. A wild one, being so in tune with Gaia, would never behave in such an uncouth way!)

And of course, there is much intolerance on show. No doubt you would have heard about this app...

60 Minutes, multiculturalism, sharia and Australia's green movement

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Monday, March 21, 2011,
Of course appalling right-wingers will be feeling vindicated over last night's episode of 60 Minutes and their story on the "failure" of multiculturalism. But they so hate diversity they would say that, wouldn't they?

And the report by Michael Usher really was a disgrace. It was a truly appalling beatup of a non-problem. Thankfully, the team redeemed themselves with their unflinching portrayal of the terrifyingly cataclysmic risks posed by the damaged Japanese nuclear reactors. Surely journali...

Do not rush to judge Ibrahim Siddiq-Conlon and Sharia4Australia

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Thursday, January 20, 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...
