However, University of Technology Sydney Islamic law lecturer Jamila Hussain said Hirsi Ali’s ideas were extreme and stigmatised Muslims.

And hacking off a person’s head because he/she doesn’t agree with you isn’t extreme…?! I think the muslims themselves are the ones to blame for their own stigmatization.

It is really amazing how much ‘moderate’, educated muslims, seem to sit around and worry how to shield the muslim community from outside thoughts and ideas.

I’m sorry. You used “thoughts” and “Muslim” in the same sentence. What were you thinking?

Why is there a lecturer in Islamic law at the University of Technology, Sydney?

That’s odd.

Van Gogh’s film Submission, which examined the oppression of Muslim women, was written by Hirsi Ali. His killer, Mohammed Bouyeri, left a five-page death threat addressed to her, pinned to the filmmaker’s chest.

You’d think the murderer used a small safety pin rather than a dagger plunged through the paper and into his chest.

Somehow, the thought of respecting other beliefs comes to screeching halt when threaten with death.

“There have to be boundaries in how far you go in respecting other’s beliefs. The reaction from the community is likely to be quite worrying.”

Wrong contintent, wrong culture, wrong century. Somehow, I don’t think jaw-dropping irony was what this gal was going for.

“I think she’d be better staying where she came from,” Ms Hussain said.

A lot of people feel that way about Muslims.
