‘TONY Abbott’s official frontbench understudy has reignited immigration tensions by denouncing Islam as a “totalitarian, political and religious ideology”.
Liberal parliamentary secretary Cory Bernardi revealed last night he had received death threats after making the comments.
While the immigration debate usually differentiates between the religion of Islam and extreme fundamentalist interpretations, Senator Bernardi confronted the issue head-on yesterday.
“Islam itself is the problem – it’s not Muslims,” he told radio station MTR..’
“reignited tensions” my ass–the tensions already exist, it’s just that Bernardi is the only politician with the courage to tell it like it is. Now watch the usual suspects crucify a brave man. (and that it requires bravery to speak plainly is an indictment of politicians and the media)
And this:
‘DOZENS of asylum seekers are on the run, with fears they are being supported by underground networks.’
They’re not “asylum seekers”–they’re illegal immigrants.
