It was when some Australian citizens travelled to Iraq to join the barbaric Islamic State, or ISIS. Pictures of an Australian child holding a severed head with his terrorist father shamed the nation and horrified the civilised world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Australia, there are still radical Islamic preachers calling for \u2018jihad\u2019 against Australia and the West, for the genocide of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Due to the Prime Minister&#8217;s frailty and ambiguity regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict, they are able to get away with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And thanks again to Albo\u2019s weakness, a group calling itself \u2018Muslim Vote\u2019 has this week emerged to target seats in western Sydney with high Muslim populations, held by senior Labor figures like Tony Burke and Jason Clare. Their initial goal is to force Labor to back the Palestinian cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can all agree it\u2019s unlikely to stop there. Fatima Payman, the 29-year-old hijab-wearing Labor senator from Western Australia \u2013 has embarrassed Albo by crossing the floor (traditionally an offence that results in expulsion from the ALP) in support of recognising the non-existent state of Palestine.&nbsp;She\u2019s quit Labor to be an independent, is&nbsp;now talking to infamous \u2018preference whisperer\u2019 Glenn Druery and there\u2019s a lot of speculation she\u2019ll be invited to join this \u2018Muslim Vote\u2019 group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minor political parties have been formed around religion in Australia before. They\u2019ve all been Christian, like Family First, and never particularly successful at the ballot box. They\u2019ve generally stood on a foundation of conservative values many Australians share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However with 813,000 Muslims now calling Australia home, and Labor hopelessly compromised on religious freedom and the Middle East conflict, we\u2019re now starting to see Muslims exercise political influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This influence could not have been brought to bear had Australia\u2019s major parties listened to Pauline\u2019s warnings. But here we are, and it doesn\u2019t bode well for our nation\u2019s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many years, Pauline Hanson has been warning about the danger of allowing unchecked immigration from predominantly Muslim countries where the population has been exposed to fundamentalist Islamic ideology completely out of step with Australian values of democracy, freedom and separation of church and state.
