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.
