BLOG/HATEWATCH: Andrew Bolt allows his imbeciles freedom to spread hate ...

As we've shown on this blog over and over again, Andrew Bolt's idea of sensible discourseincludes even some of the most xenophobic comment. His analysis of events in Xinjiang in Western China attracts the usual array of fruitloops.

The situation in the Xinjiang (or East Turkestan) autonomous region of Western China is extremely complex. There is conflict between Han Chinese and indigenous Turkic Uighurs. Then there are other smaller Turkish tribes (such as Kazakhs) caught in the middle. This conflict crosses ethnic, religious, tribal and class divides, and the complexity of the conflict has not been lost on readers of Andrew Bolt’s blog on the Herald Sun website. Consider these mature and considered reflections:

I was wondering which way you’d jump on this one. Keep in mind that the uighurs probably started the violence - however justified it might be - and they ARE muslim, remember.

It looks like the ChiComs are battling another form of totalitarianism to come: Jihadism.
Yet another restive Muslim minority with grievances, seizing upon an incident of alleged mistreatment by authorities to stage a riot. Yet hardly no one notices any kind of pattern, or any hint of the Islamic supremacist notion that it is offensive for Muslims to be under the rule of non-Muslims.
So in what sense are the Uighurs the target here? It looks as if they are fairly efficiently targeting the Han Chinese. …

While I normally respect Greg Sheridan’s opinion, I disagree with his analysis on the Uighurs. Greg is not looking at the big picture i.e. everywhere on Earth that Islamic culture meets another culture, there is conflict …

And that’s just this century. Why would Muslims behave any differently in China? … Now they have then gone on a rampage killing dozens of ethnic Chinese. The ethnic Chinese have now responded in kind. I think it is entirely appropriate that the Chinese are cracking down on the Muslims.
I believe what is now happening in China is exactly what will happen in Europe within the next ten years. Muslims will commit atrocities against the indigenous population and eventually the locals will have had enough and retaliate. It will be a low key civil war. Whether it escalates or not will depend on whether the European governments crack down on the Muslims or the locals.

I wonder if News Limited chief John Hartigan had his employee Andrew Bolt in mind when he said recently the blogesphere was saturated with people and opinions ...

... of such limited intellectual value as to be barely discernible from massive ignorance.

UPDATE I: Speaking of Xinjiang, here is an interesting analysis of the use of buzzwords by media outlets, comparing the treatment of Tibetans and Uighurs.

BLOGS: How Bolt and Blair might spin this murdered woman's story ...

Serial tabloid hate-mongers Andrew Bolt and Tim Blair love plucking out stories not widely reported in Australian media about violence against women. Actually, not about violence against women in particular or indeed violence against women in Australia. But rather, about violence against non-white nominally Muslim women, preferably by non-white nominally Muslim men. And not with the intention of showing sympathy toward the women themselves, but rather (especially in Blair's case) to poke fun at a tragic situation.

But one incident of violence against a non-white nominally Muslim woman seems to have passed them by. I wonder why.

IT WAS while Marwa el-Sherbini was in the dock that the accused strode across a Dresden courtroom and plunged a knife into her 18 times. She had been recalling how the man had insulted her for wearing a hijab after she asked him to let her son sit on a swing last year.

Her three-year-old son, Mustafa, was forced to watch as his mother slumped to the courtroom floor.

Why wouldn't Andrew Bolt write about this incident? I mean, there's plenty here for him to write about. You'd think Andrew could at least write ...

This incident shows how European Muslims just aren't integrating and instead are imposing their dress codes on others. The backlash is natural. We could see that here soon also.

Yes, an Egyptian pharmacist living in Germany is stabbed by a white-skinned European man. It somehow doesn't fit Bolt's stereotype. As for Tim Blair, he'd might even argue that the police officer was right.

Even her husband, Elvi Ali Okaz, could do nothing as his pregnant wife was killed by the 28-year-old Russian stock controller who was being sued for insult and abuse. As Mr Okaz ran to save her he, too, was brought down, shot by a police officer who mistook him for the attacker. He is now in intensive care in a Dresden hospital.

Blair would argue that Muslim men are usually the ones bashing up and beheading Muslim women. I can only imagine what commenters on his blog might say.

What does she expect? She's lucky they didn't turn her into compost. That's what I'd do.

Perhaps Blair and his commenters would even sympathise with Alex W's sentiments.

Unemployed Alex W. from Perm in Russia was found guilty last November of insulting and abusing Ms Sherbini, screaming "terrorist" and "Islamist whore" at her, during the Dresden park encounter.

Or maybe Alex W had been spending too much of his time reading News Limited blogs.

UPDATE I: One of Tim Blair's main informants, a certain Sheik Yermami, has this to say about the sorry saga. And it seems Yermami has similar comment moderation methods to Blair, having allowed this chilling remark to remain:

An infidel! July 12, 2009 at 3:56 am
*Where is the outrage? Where are the violent riots, the carbeques, the attacks on Muslims?

It will happen. Like a coiled spring it will unleash at the correct moment. Unlike the hot headed Muslims who carry on for a short while and usually end up killing one another. This will be a massive societal reaction to the murderous monstrocity known as Islam, and will last for a very long time.

I guess it did take their ilk 6 years to murder 6 million Jews. That was a fairly long time.

I do hope Australia won’t get themselves into the huge problems many European countries now find themselves in. It is a bit of an advantage that we are ‘an island’, and a bit more difficult to cross border.
This very morning I read from Norway about a pair of asylum seekers caught out. Arrived independently in the country, without papers.
Woman claimed she had been held for years as a sex-salve in the jungles of Burundi.
They both joined up again in Norway after being apart for a certain period.
Only an observant policeman discovered their false identity. He discovered a wedding photo with the pair, the bride in a quite fancy wedding dress cutting their wedding cake, with their true names on the impressive wedding cake.
Also police in Oslo yesterday said the 40 odd cases against violence and rape in the city against Norwegian females over last couple of years were all by these new foreigners, high on the list were Somalis and Kurds. Some of them repeat offenders.
Another problem they have, gangs get created among these various groups, like Pakistani against African gangs, and narcotics is very common among them.
The general population is generally getting pretty fed up with it all.

HATEWATCH/BLOGS: Enlightened and informed comment on asylum seekers at the Herald Sun ...

Again, no commentary required for some of the fruitloops attracted by this paranoid post:

KRudd now has blood on his hands.
Anyone organising a party for a teenager at home knows that they have to be very careful to restrict invitations to only the type of people welcome, ensure that an open invitation is not broadcast and provide proper security - all with the objective of baring undesirables from crashing the party. Therefore, the question I have is, are Australians happy to have a Prime Minister running the country who demonstrably couldn’t even safely organise a child’s party?

... It is well known that the people smugglers tell the invaders that when they consider that they are assured of being rescued they should destroy their boat (and all identification of course). Therefore seeing that at the time of the explosion there was two Australian navy personnel on board of the vessel I think it is safe to assume that these people were quite happy to murder Australians - are these really the sort of people you want living next door to you???

MMM....Sad times ahead....well if our PM makes it easier for these people to attempt to land on our shores for a free ride,expect more of this to come! Now you have to ask..are these the type of person/s we want as refugees?

The policies of the Australian Govt killed those people. John Howard had put in place measures that stopped people smuggling cold.
KRudd removed those policies and put in place policies that rewarded people smuggling.
He put those people in that boat and it led to their deaths.
The question now is “will KRudd be prepared to accept responsibility and reimpose the Pacific solution, or must more people die?”

... Asylum seekers on boats are breaking Australian law - understand. They don’t have rights - and should be towed out into deeper water - or bakc to whereever they just came from.

The newer refugees are from a totally different mind set and refuse or can’t adapt to
Australian ways and it is this lack of assimilation which makes them unpopular.
It is hard to understand why Moslems don’t stay in Indonesia which is an Islamic
country. As well, there are legal facilities for them to apply for refugee status in that country but they queue jump and Australia has to pick up the
pieces.

And it might be pertinent to think of Lebanon here. The Christians let in the Muslim
refugees and later became refugees themselves because of the very Muslims they let in. This will be Australia’s fate, except for one thing - very soon there will be no Christian countries for us to run to.

And that's just page 1. More to follow.

BLOG/HATEWATCH: Piers Akerman and friends comment on African retards ...

Piers Akerman, Senior editor at Sydney's Daily Teleraph provides a crucial history lesson on how to deal with pirates. You can pick up the general vibe of Akerman's solution from the subtle headline:

Let the cannonball fly and hang them high

The moderated comments of Akerman's commenters are even more subtle.

Reality check people.

In the pirates we are dealing with illiterate stone-age savages who come from a racial group whose average IQ is in the 60s (retarded). There is a reason why Africans did not invent the wheel, writing, or any system of government above the tribal level.

There is only one way to deal with these pirates that will make an impression on their dull minds: freaking kill them and the horse that they rode in on ...

HATEWATCH/BLOG: Andrew Bolt's bloggers want to KILL ALL MUSLIMS ...

Kill all Muslims? Bomb all Muslims? Murder 1.2 billion people? Blow up over 55 states? Even this guy finds such talk unconscionable.

But Andrew Bolt and his buddies at the Herald Sun don't. President Obama wants to send a message to the Iranian people. But the message from Bolt's buddies to anyone living in an OIC member state is clear:

In the Islamic world, they look at negotiaions as surrender.
the Dean of Doonside (Reply) Sun 22 Mar 09 (09:52am)


Barry of Round replied to the Dean Sun 22 Mar 09 (10:52am)
Insightful.
Best bomb them in that case.


Larry replied to the Dean Sun 22 Mar 09 (01:10pm)
Barry of Round, bombing them, back to the stone age where their politico-religious philosophy belongs, would indeed be the only thing they understand.
Islam has no such thing as a peace treaty, just hudna, to be entered into when weaker than the opposition, and only lasting long enough for them to gather the strength to have another go.
You don’t negotiate with that, you shoot it.

Those companies choosing to advertise on the Herald Sun website should consider whether their sponsorship of such messages will further their export sales in countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia.

Andrew Bolt regards the massacre of over 1 billion people as perfectly acceptable discourse. So does the Herald-Sun.

Enough is enough. It wasn't enough for Bolt to cast aspersions on Australians of Sudanese, Somalis, Lebanese and other backgrounds. Bolt has allowed his blog to become a place where people can incite violence and murder against others.

Bolt should be sacked.

UPDATE I: I am informed that one of the blog moderators has now removed the offending remarks.

HATEWATCH/BLOG: Blair's blog buddies roll out the Nazi-style hate-speech ...

For centuries leading upto the Holocaust, the dominant prejudice in Europe was anti-Semitism. European Jews were the subject of all kinds of suspicion, from blood libels to the suggestion that Judaism allows its followers to relinquish their promises and contracts. One common Jewish ritual prayer was often cited as evidence that Jews could break their promises and hence where inherently untrustworthy.

Today's bigots reproduce that prejudice against the faith which bares the closest resemblance to Judaism. Some Muslim sources, especially those in the shia tradition, speak of taqiyya, a special teaching which allows a Muslim to hide his or her faith in times of severe persecution.

Anti-shia polemicists from sunni circles sometimes use the idea of taqiyya as a tool to discredit shi'i Islam and to make the outlandishly silly claim that shia Muslims cannot be trusted and have some secret agenda to take control over Muslim institutions and countries.

Yet the bigotry of sunni supremacists is nothing compared to the extreme bigotry and prejudice of the nazis that congregate around Tim Blair's blog hosted by the Daily Telecra ... woops ... Telegraph. Blair happily entertains and allows onto his blog the rants of those whose prejudices he shares, or at least which he considers within the ballpark of acceptable discourse.

Hence, the recent incident involving Sheik Hilaly has given Blair's buddies an excuse to unleash the kind of Nazi-era bigotry Blair's blog is famous for. Here is a sample:

What does the Koran say about an imam lying to manipulate infidels?

Well, it’s all ok...taqqiya means not a single word his outfit says can be trusted.

Daniel Lewis replied to Daniel Lewis
Thu 19 Mar 09 (05:52pm)

... Keysar Trad should be along shortly to offer the usual lost in translation defence.

Please sir, may I have some more hyperlinks?

Once again, Blair's buddies take the Tele back to the 1930's. Just replace "Jew" with "Muslim" and you can almost hear the thugs marching down Kippax Street.

HATEWATCH: More blog madness at the Herald Sun

Andrew Bolt has blown the whistle, and the dogs of war, hatred, genocide and xenophobia have come out barking on his blog. His post entitled Cricketers shot (as if the policemen, the 2 by-standers and the Pakistani umpire were just killed and wounded by aliens from the Planet Fnkjgmnv) again shows the madness that is blogging at News Limited tabloids ...

craig of brisbane shares with us his sophisticated analysis:

You nailed it Andrew - the ‘role of Islam’. It’s true that not all Muslims are terrorists. But for some reason, out of all the worlds faiths, Islam seems to produce the most terrorists. The question has to be asked why. I can’t think of many places in the world that has conflict that doesn’t have ‘Islam’ lurking around somewhere. The Christian reformation brought on critical thinking and interrogation of belief. That has never happened with Islam. And it won’t happen, because Muslims are forbidden to question their faith. But they need to. And if they don’t, someone else should. Islam needs to come under vigourous and public interogation. Mohammed and some of his activities need to be publically exposed and interrorgated. Very hard questions must be asked of Muslims in a very public way. Muslim children should be taught some of the more unfavourable parts of the Koran so they can make balanced desicions as they get older.
Interrogation of belief will upset some - but if it forces muslims to think - then so be it.
craig of brisbane (Reply)
Tue 03 Mar 09 (10:25pm)

Indeed. Why blame lax security when it is so much easier to blame religious texts? And we all know what profound impacts the Reformation left on Christians in South America and the Eastern Orthodox lands. Generalisations are so much fun.

adam of bris (Reply)
Tue 03 Mar 09 (10:46pm)

Yep, blame it on the religion of those who died. Makes lots of sense.

Queensland seems to have a fair share of wackos leaving messages on Bolt's blog. Here is what JimmyB of Brisbane has to contribute to the debate:

All immigration by muslims from ME countries should be banned forthwith. Any mad mullahs preaching jihad against western society should be deported yesterday. Shake Rattle and Roll Hilaly should be the first to go. Any apologists should accompany them on thear trip home and stay with them.Anyone of Christian,Hindu, Buddhist faith/religion are quiet welcome. Before I’m labelled a racist or bigot, my wife is Hindu and I’m RC.
JimmyB of Brisbane Wed 04 Mar 09 (01:33am)

Some poor chap named Simon at Albert Park tries to inject some reasoned discussion. Here he goes ...

ANDREW -
Could I respectfully say that bigotry like this only inflames conflict & the divide between people for the long-term - it does nothing to help anyone, it does nothing good.
I am born in Australia, decended from the First Fleet, I speak english, have white skin, pay my tax and work for a living. And I am a Muslim who attends the Mosque every Friday.
If I knew confidently - that another Muslim was intending to do something insane like this - then I would contact the Police, no doubt whatsoever.
My observation of the Muslims I know, are that they are harmless, read a lot and probably would not be involved in a pub-fight, let alone know which end of a gun to point. We are happy to be law-abiding citazens and we are offended when the media generalizes about us and makes a huge controversy about the smallest mistake any of us make.
Please modify your viewpoint.
Simon of Albert Park (Reply) Wed 04 Mar 09 (07:22am)

I'm not quite sure why Simon bothered. Here is what he gets in reward for his respectful submission:

Dave replied to Simon Wed 04 Mar 09 (09:47am)
As soon as someone starts their post on this blog with “Andrew” you just know it is some condescending prat who feels the need to educate us all.

Mattmax replied to Simon Wed 04 Mar 09 (09:57am)
Are your Friday prayers conducted in English? What Mosque do you attend ? I’ll come and attempt to corroborate your assertions. Is any Friday OK?
Otherwise what you say reads like a lot of tosh or some snazzy trolling.

Dale replied to Simon Wed 04 Mar 09 (10:14am)
Simon,
Thank you for sharing your point of view (and that of your local community) but surely you cannot deny that there is a serious problem within the worldwide Muslim population.
Your viewpoint that those around you are law abiding peaceful citizens and Andrews viewpoint that Islam holds a role in polital violence are not at odds and neither requires adjustment.

Mattmax replied to Simon Wed 04 Mar 09 (01:47pm)
P.S Simon I will see at the Mosque on Friday . Is it OK if i bring a Jewish friend who understands Arabic?.I guess as there are no sacraments we can’t offend just by attending and listening in silence?

Dave of Bathurst has recently travelled in Dr Who's machine to prehistoric times ...

The one thing you are confronted with as soon as you point out just how backward and violent Islam is, is someone saying “Look at the Christians with their Crusades and Inquisition”. Yes we must condemn religious violence no matter where it comes from. However the Crusades etc. Were hundreds of years ago, how many Catholic suicide bombers and mad gun do we have today? So let’s put that stupid counter “argument” behind us and look at the very real problem with Islam and start doing something about these cavemen.
Dave of Bathurst (Reply) Wed 04 Mar 09 (07:23am)

Amongst all this madness, there were two sensible comments:

Let’s just have the “Islam vs. the rest of the world match” that the madmen seem to want and get it over with.
perturbed of NSW (Reply)
Wed 04 Mar 09 (09:16am)

The crazy factor on here is even worse than usual.
This thread suggests
1) Genocide as a solution to Islam- not a distinction between radical and mainstream Islam either.
2) That Muslims are “subhuman”
3)That to suggest that Bush is at all to blame for the radicalisation and growing crisisin Pakistan for the last… 8 years or so… is somehow an intellectual stretch.
You people are stark raving mad. Your stupidity and ignorance is approaching that of radical islam- which only a proper, nuanced approach will ever come close to resolving. More will be achieved by funding a secular education system in Pakistan than sowing fields with salt ever will.
And the moderators here should lose their jobs for allowing the carthage comments through, especially when further comments meant that ignorance was no longer an excuse.
Phoebus (Reply)
Wed 04 Mar 09 (02:37pm)

And here is my comment on all this, which I doubt Andrew Bolt will allow to be published:

I wouldn't bother, Phoebus. Andrew Bolt has blown the whistle and all the dogs of genocide, xenophobia, racism and bigotry are barking like crazy.

The Herald Sun's advertisers would never get away with having such hate speech published on their servers. I know this because I'm an employment law solicitor who has acted for companies and government departments that have disciplined staff for making racist remarks on e-mail servers and intranets. I've also acted for workers who have been disciplined and/or sacked for sending online content deemed racist.

The Herald Sun publishes comments that, 70 years ago, would have been published in German, Dutch and other European papers about Jews.

The Herald Sun thinks it is above the law. Its advertisers should not have to fund such hate-speech. I suggest copies of these comments should be printed out and posted to all Herald Sun advertisers. Perhaps when the money stops rolling in, Andrew Bolt and his colleagues will change their ways.

HATEWATCH: Herald-Sun moderates hate-speech on Andrew Bolt's blog ...

Andrew Bolt hates stereotypes. He never engages in spreading them. he never suggests or even implies them. And he certainly never allows them to be perpetuated by persons congregating around his blog.

Bolt and the Herald-Sun team are extremely careful to ensure that racist and xenophobic comments appear on blogs hosted by them. The Herald-Sun is well aware of its legal and ethical responsibilities in this regard. For this reason, only hate-free comments are allowed. Here are a sample ...

We know who the trouble makers are and they’re not “Lebanese” - they’re Muslim Lebanese.

See, this isn't racial vilification. It's ethno-religious vilification. Lebanese Muslims are "the trouble makers". All of them. Each and everyone of them. Continuing ...

Well I don’t know of course but you get the impression that there is a number or an above average percentage in the Lebanese/Arab/ Muslim of South West Sydney who are short tempered, relatively thick, criminal, and fundamentally violent with a huge sense of undeserved entitlement as compared to other communities.

My Lebanese mates are not Arabs. They are descendants of the Phoenicians, which race dwelled in Lebanon well before the Arabs arrived (though this type of fact tends to be ignored by lefties, unless Aborigines are involved).
What’s even more relevant, they are not Muslims, they are Maronite Christians. It’s the Muslims that cause trouble, as Bret_McS has pointed out elsewhere.
