Speculation was rife immediately after the Bondi stabbings that the perpetrator was a jihadist.
The Muslim and Woke communities, but I repeat myself, were immediately outraged.
How dare people jump to conclusions.
How dare people assume the worst of Muslims.
The very idea of an Islamic jihadist attack on Australian soil was not only inconceivable, it was clear evidence of bigotry.
And then, not 48 hours later, an Islamic jihadist kindly obliged by stabbing a priest in the face.
The so-called Islamophobes were were only out by two days.
But now, just two days after the stabbing of His Grace Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel by an Islamist allegedly upset by criticism of Muhammed, the real problem is once again Islamophobia.
The Australian Financial Review went with this headline today …
Ah yes, every time a Muslim attacks infidels, it is the Muslims who are the victims, even as the bloodied infidels lay in hospital beds.
It’s an amazing twist of which Olympic gymnasts would be mighty proud! And yet, with he help of a highly flexible media class, Muslim leaders manage to pull it off every single time.
It does, of course, beg a question.
Why is Anglicanophobia not a thing?
Why is Baptistophobia never talked about?
And what of SalvationArmyophobia?
Never heard of it?
Me neither.
I can only conclude that no-one is afraid of Anglicans, Baptists or Salvos because Anglicans don’t blow up concert halls, Baptists don’t shoot up shopping malls and Salvos don’t go all stabby stabby in mosques.
So - and this is just a thought bubble - maybe the way to stop Islamophobia is for followers of Islam to stop doing stuff that makes people scared. You know, like stabbing priests in the face.
But while ever they do, can you really blame the public for thinking the likely perpetrator of public violence is an Islamist jihadist?
Are the Australian public really bigots?
Or are the Australian public just human beings who instinctively recognise patterns, only to be denounced for doing so.
So true, I have never been to a combine church service and worried that I might be attacked with a knife by the 70 year old Presbyterian Pastor, or that the wife of the Baptist minister might try to blow me up while sharing a devotional. The worst that might happen is that there was not enough Tim Tams to go around., now that could cause a problem.
What is the agenda behind our Labour Government ? What has happened to our police force ? They are afraid to tackle the rioters, are they cowards or under orders ? In this latest atrocity by a Muslim attacker, where did all these rioters appear from, who attacked the police and destroyed police cars in a wild melee of violence ? The government wishes to appease these terrorists, which will lead to more of the same, all in the name of appeasing Muslim voters. This an Australia descending into racial and religious disaster .
