As Muslim: This is why I refused to sign the petition to sack Sen. Anning

I refused to sign the petition demanding the sacking of Sen. Fraser Anning, not because I support his disgraceful highly inflammatory comments.

It is disgraceful that some Australian Muslims together with media and politicians are holding Sen. Fraser Anning morally responsible for the NZ terrorist attack.

Sen. Fraser Anning is a newcomer to the political scene in Australia and is not responsible for the high racism, Islamophobia and extremism in our society. If anything, he is a by-product stemmed from the major parties policies of division and scapegoating.

I refused to sign the petition, because I believe that the petition should target the real perpetrators of Islamophobia and extremism. The real perpetrators include Scot Morrison and Peter Dutton who adopted as early as 2010 policies aimed at stirring hate against Muslims at all levels.

Even an anti-welfare coalition policy mentioning “Muslim bludgers” as a target of cracking down on needy people. The policy to detain refugees and asylum seekers was also to create hate against Muslims who constitute the largest section of boat asylum seekers.

It is not a conspiracy theory. We have clear evidence that Morrison-Dutton adopted since 2010 policies aimed, as I mentioned above, at creating hate against Muslims as the last hope for the coalition to win an election.

Morrison was speaking at a meeting for Liberal officials in Ryde Civic centre insisting on the need for such policies.

The story was reported in limited media outlets. Morrison did not deny this at that time and was even proud of it. Link here

The real cause of a disorder must be addressed. No point tackling the symptoms without healing the cause of the symptoms.

In this case Sen Anning is a mere symptom of a disorder created by Morrison and Dutton.

What makes things worse is that the hateful Morrison-Dutton have found allies among the Muslim community.

The Lebanese Muslim Association and its allies of mainly Muslim extremists were quick to call on Muslims to vote for Liberals in the 2011 election. Link here

It is this disgraceful movement who gave Morrison credibility on his anti-Muslim approach.

Since 2011 till present day, Muslim extremists are in bed with Liberal Islamophobes.

And this is the reason why Muslim extremists invited only Liberal politicians to attend their “crisis” meeting in Lakemba mosque following the NZ massacre.

I will sign the petition only if it asks for sacking of Morrison, Dutton and Fraser. Signing the petition against Fraser only, will see Muslims participate in the policy of scapegoating dumb politician to hide the real trouble of extremism we have.

The real trouble is the extreme racist Islamophobic Liberal policy allying with extreme Muslim organisations.
