I'm opposed to all forms of medieval superstition regardless of where they originated.

I'm also opposed to dumb reactionaries like the APP going out and stirring shit up because they've got nothing better to do with their stupid, meaningless, hate filled lives.

Warren and Tanya are a credit to the ALP

[jaydenluke]

You just comprehensively owned by some real Australians, Hodges. Your intolerant, bigoted values are incompatible with the Australian way of life. If you don't like the way things work around here (multiculturalism, tolerance, peace, friendship), then kindly fuck off somewhere else because we don't want you here.

[Stragsg]

@jaydenluke You are useful idiot. You are tool of Jihadists. You help them to bring their repressive ideology to Australia which denies equality of rights to women, denies equality of rights to minorities, has a death penalty to apostates, and has complete supression of the freedom of speech, etc... You are tool and useful idiot! True, freedom-loving Aussies are not gonna stand by and surrender and allow Jihadists to destroy our way of life!

[jaydenluke]

@Stragsg Mate, that's it! You've figured me out! Damn you must be so clever. A tool for the jihadists coming to destroy our way of life! Thank God there are people like you who really know what's going down!! Australia owes you one, well done, keep it up!

[Remus0387]

I'm always hearing this line pushed Islam is not a religion, it's a violent political ideology that wants to destroy us. So i assume people want to destroy Islam before it's reach gets to big i'll ask this if moderate muslims are told to condemn the radicals and islamic terrorists shouldn't christians condemn violent radicals or people advocating the destruction of a group of people.

[Kirkzzy]

Well said! Also fuck Darrin Hodges, the people answering the questions basically were just saying, were all Australians no matter what and who cares what religion someone is from, they are allowed to live anywhere. We need to look past this whole group segregation and learn to live together.

[Nahasapasa]

I don't know how anyone can justify misusing the word "racist" to protect your religion of criticism. Doesn't it trivialise actual racism? Fuck L. Ron Hubbard!

[Nationalism4Life]

This is a warning to white Australians from a British patriot. Great Britain up until 1948 was a wonderful white country with a common identity among its citizens. Thanks to the mass immigration of non-whites and the higher birthrates, it has been said that we the British people will become a minority in our own land. The 'multicultural' areas in Britain as they describe them to be are hell-holes riven with crime and drugs. I warn you white Australians to wake up now before it's too late.

[swissmaid]

The young woman is so ignorant about Islam!! Doesn't she know anything about Islam? How about getting informed ? What a dumb blonde!!

[swissmaid]

Muslim children should have to go to our school! Not to an Islamic school, where they learn to hate us and our christian democratic ways. Islamic schools =junior terrorist training camps!

[SgtKoranFlusher]

Who was the guy in the audience? He was great!

[Celtic450]

As Aussies become a smaller and smaller minority they have no where to go. Eventually we will have slums in Australia as the population nears 30 million and there are not enough houses, infrastructre, jobs water etc. I am coming to the realisation the only way western people can stop this madness is make the multiculturalists' personal safety contingent on the stoppage of the destruction of our societies.

[swissmaid]

@Celtic450 Multiculturalism does not work. The majority must always win, if you don't want to lose your culture and freedom of speech. We need culturalism, that will work. Don't turn Australia into an Islamic country, that is what is going to happen, if we go down the road of Islamic immigration. We need Immigrants that are compatible with our culture. Islam does not fit in. They are not immigrating, they are COLONIZING!

[aussieandproud]

Christian Lebo's mostly behave themselves, Muslim Lebo's are the most violent fuckwits on Sydney streets and have no respect at all, Fuck Islam.

[Thunderstruck101]

Tanya Plibersek says there were 8000 objections to the building of the mosque in Annangrove, an area with a population only in the thousands, yet she seems to think it's great the mosque was built anyway. Doesn't Tanya, the panel or the audience believe in democracy?

[peatree28]

Fuck off all Religion and all Immigrants, If I want to look at there ugly heads or hear there racetrack languages, I would go to there shit hole countries, no government has any right to force other races an religions upon us or anyone

[jgatz100]

People should be and are free to practise their own religion in Australia and if they want to build mosques and schools go ahead. Its your right. But a call by the Australian Islamic Mission at the Lakemba Mosque on Saturday to implement Sharia law in Australia is an outrage!!! I can't believe any group of people would actively try to undermine a democratic legal system that protects gender, religious and racial equality.

[swissmaid]

@jgatz100 Sharia Law further supresses women, liberate them, by making it law not to wear a burka. Go and wear it in your shit hole countries, not here, we dont want to see it in Australia. Sharia Law does the same thing to women. Free them and vote against those male chauvinists

[AntifaAustralia]

Reminds me of a stupid little kid that sucks at: maths, social skills, empathy skills; and is curious about muslims.

and how the heck did that Nationalist darrin hodges get in there? and that fella sure did get nailed on the head verbally.

i feel so sorry for xenophobics, even though i shouldn't.

[AlienBusDriver]

0:35 is where I would interjected and told her to answer the question directly please.

So she's spoke too two people, and from this she can judge the other 8000 complaints have disappeared. I dont like the maths on that sum.

We havent always mixed at all, white Australia policy anyone? How fucking pathetic. getting clapped from making up a bunch of factually incorrect jargon about the 'australian' way

[shockadelicaustralia]

Bob Brown, what do you think the curriculum of "their" school will say about homosexuality?

Does it bother you at all that boys will leave that school after their weekly "Sodomy is Satan's Work" lesson and go to Oxford Street to bash gays?

Why do "they" even need "their" own school?

If they are truly part of our community why aren't our regular schools good enough?

Is Islamic mathematics different to "our" mathematics?

[trista2nv]

Is Jewish mathematics different to "our" mathematics? Is Greek Orthodox mathematics different to "our" mathematics? No, I don't hear people kicking up a stir for other religious private schools. So what if they want there own school? So what if they want to teach about God? You and the rest of the xenophobic Australian population need to talk to some Muslims who will educate you on what exactly Muslims want to teach their kids & u tell me if its any different!

[Protectionists]

There is very much difference, Islam is NOT a religion it is a way of life. And if you find the time look into their beliefs and their conquest of Europe. They want Islam to rule the world in every sector and if you believe in pedophilia & no human rights go ahead thinking the way you think.

Muslims, abuse their children with honour killings and inciting them with hate of all people who are not Muslim. Please read the Koran, before you comment.

[irjupp]

And Christianity also wants to rule the world. Ever heard of the Crusades? Lots of death and war. Stop showing one-sided evidence.

[shockadelicaustralia]

You just destroyed your own argument.

If indeed their school would not be any different, then there's no need for it.

[trista2nv]

"Please read the Koran" - you should take your own advice. Islam does not in any way accept any of the things you mentioned above. War & the teachings about women are strictly in context, anyone will tell you its sections are to be taken in context, some are literal and others are to be taken as parables.

[Protectionists]

Quran - Surah47, verse 4 -

"Therefore when ye meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks and when you have caused a bloodbath among them, bind a bond firmly on them."

I have read the Koran - Thank you.

[irjupp]

I see Darrin picking the violent passages from the Koran. Well look at the vid on you tube titled

Response to FITNA: Christianity or Islam: Religion of Peace

Very easy to make Christianity look violent also. Stop showing half the evidence. People will have more respect for you if you arent so clearly biased.

[swissmaid]

@irjupp Dickhead, we stopped burning witches centuries ago. Islam still does the burning of live people, cutting off hands, stoning, underage marriages, forced marriages, hangings of gay people, burrying women alive, still today!!! A bit of a difference, don't you think so? No Sharia Law here, get it. I will kill before I submit to your shit Allah! A treacherous Padophile MohamMutt.

[irjupp]

@swissmaid Shit. A quick news search will show most of those things you have mentioned are also done in the name of Christianity. But hey if you wanna keep on believing the crap that these people spew up then be my guest. Once again stop giving half the story you look stupid when you do ;)

[MamaMario13]

@Protectionists pretty sure christianity says the same thing

[trista2nv]

yet its okay to have catholic & protestant schools? Give me a break, please go speak to a group of Islamic people and ask them about all the things u assume Muslim people accept and believe. I was making a point that besides religion, every other subject will be the same. Just like most Catholic schools make religious education compulsory.

[shockadelicaustralia]

Christianity is a fundamental element in our history. Islam is not.

I'm sure some people would be just as concerned about a Mormon or Jehovah's Witness school, even though they're "Christian".

I have read the Koran. I was shocked.

I was reading all the classic scriptures: Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Taoist.

They talked of love, compassion, forgiveness, moderation.

The Koran was the Texas Chainsaw Massacre in comparison.

[trista2nv]

You have got to be kidding me. Listen mate, I see your mind is made up about Islam. If you want to believe all the rubbish you see in the media and be one of the people who succumbs to the xenophobic culture breeding today then so be it. I have read the Koran as well and there are just as many examples of love, compassion, forgiveness and moderation as in the Christian bible and Buddhist teachings. The Koran is to be read in context of the times, of the people of their situation.

[trista2nv]

"...to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask; and for the freeing of captives; to be steadfast in prayers, and practice regular charity; to fulfill the contracts which you made; and to be firm and patient in pain (or suffering) and adversity and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the God-conscious." (2:177)

[shockadelicaustralia]

The bombings, kidnappings, beheading, stonings, hangings and highjackings are not "rubbish". They are reality.

It is Muslims who are xenophobic, precisely why they're incompatible with a modern cosmopolitan society.

The Koran is read today as it was read centuries ago. Islam has not undergone the modernising reforms other religions have.

How would you feel about a Scientologist-only school? "But they're a fringe sect".

Yes, and in our society, so is Islam.

[trista2nv]

Sorry my comments to you are the two above, the first one is just one of the many quotes regarding "love and compassion"

[swissmaid]

@trista2nv Islam is not a religion, it was originally falsly labelled! And now nobody wants to take responsibility for this falsness! Islam is a fascist ideology that seeks world domination. Have a look what is going on in England and France. Go to Truth Tube and punch in Sharia Law , you will be horrified!

No Sharia Law for Australia, not even for divorce or petty thieves! Do not bring that in. Sharia law will further segregate the Muslims commlunity from Australians. One law for all!!

[carseatparis]

So whether they are fact or not is a MOOT POINT.

The point is, the statements stem from an argument, a claim, a reaction, a positiondare I say ita SET OF VALUES that are ignorant and bigoted.

If we're debating communities, and that is what's up for discussion here, up for planning, then we are not debating facts, we're debating values.

So I couldn't give two shits about darren's facts, but I do know that his values aren't going to nourish any healthy, caring community any time soon.

[Slegarthoth]

You can rant and rave as much as you want, but both of his statements are fact.

[carseatparis]

really glad you put this up here Darren, because i saw this live all that time ago, and was really hoping to be able to contribute to your discussion:

two comments then:

"1. islam is not a race, so i'm not a racist"

— not a racist, strictly speaking, you're something more, much more, part of the broader category known as "ignorant bigot"

"2. in Iran you'd be hung"

— see above.

[Slegarthoth]

So what part of what Darren said isn't true?

[carseatparis]

since when has truth had anything to do with politics? truth, in science and in politics, is but one element in a chain of proof that supports an argument. my beef is with Darren's argument which runs something like this:

1. I despise a religion I see as a threat to my wholesome, traditionally white, christian values. You call me a racist, which is a slur, and indeed a socially reprehensible crime. But Islam is not a race, therefore I am not a racist, and it is acceptable to air my bigotry.a

[carseatparis]

so his statements are hateful at worst, and inflammatory at best. either way, truth or no truth, I certainly don't have to agree with the rhetoric or quasi-argument he shrouds his ignorance in.

[Slegarthoth]

His statements are fact.

[carseatparis]

You are clearly missing the point, or know very little about politics or any other form of knowledge.

Facts are what you mobilize to underpin an argument, a thesis, a claim, an argument. You say "inflation is rising" to justify an interest rate cut. You say "teenagers like sugary alcoholic beverages" to justify Alcopops tax. You say "being lazy makes your hair grow long" to justify imprisoning draft dodgers. You say "In Iran gays are hanged" to justify why you fear and hate muslim communities.

[Slegarthoth]

I love watching the elites sell out our country and keep a straight face while they are doing it.

[bcmalloy]

most aussies are smart enough to know that people who hold a racist, Fascists views and call it religion are dangerous to those around them and need not be respect for those what ever they call it. islam is one name

[noahjackson1]

Ha!  What a joke!

[summerfun2001]

Good to see someone standing up against the Muslim problem.

Onya Darrin Hodges!

[tygasm]

Islam is a dangerous, brutal, oppressive totalitarian ideology, case closed!

[tygasm]

Islam is a dangerous, brutal, totalitarian, oppressive ideology, case closed.

[Strummerkid]

Haha Bob Brown + Tanya totally destroyed your weak attempts to whip up some paranoia about "invading muslims".

You end up looking the fool Daz.

[curioz28]

all of you fucking so called academics and social engineers will be held accountable for ruining our country one day and your offspring killed as punishment .

[PufferFishShit]

Australia now stands up to niggers, ethnics and fags!

White Forever!

[ViolentLime]

get fucked you sad no life fuckstick

[tofunotes]

I don't see anyone running, Daz. Brown pwned you totally.

[anonleft]

Hodges, you're a goose. Everyone's either filled with contempt every time you open your mouth, or they're laughing derisively at you.

[Celtic450]

@anonleft House prices are through the roof...180,000 people are immigrating into Australia a year....Oh fuck! Hodges is right!

[swissmaid]

@anonleft With all due respect, but have you done any research into Islam? Have you read the Koran? Do you understand what their motives are? No religion, but to implement Sharia Law and to eventually take over and turn Australia into an Islamic country. By the looks of idiots like you , they will succeed too. Pity your grand children, living under a Burka and Sharia Law. Do your research! Experience has also shown, that they will be polite till they reach 20%, then they will turn on us!

[anonleft]

@swissmaid Mate, if you read the Christian Bible you'd come to the same conclusion about Christians.

Most people of faith, of whatever faith, don't actually want to implement the nastier parts of their holy books.
