THE head of the Halal Certification Authority says Australian women need Muslim men to fertilise them to “keep them surrounded by Muslim babies”, declaring that the “white race will be extinct” in 40 years.
That was a very interesting story. Well worth reading the full interview rather than stoping at a simplistic headline.

Indonesia, the world’s biggest Muslim-majority country, has a constitution that recognizes other major religions, and practices a syncretic form of Islam that draws on not just the faith’s tenets but local spiritual and cultural traditions. As a result, the nation has long been a voice of, and for, moderation in the Islamic world.
Yet Indonesia is not without its radical elements. Though most are on the fringe, they can add up to a significant number given Indonesia’s 260-million population. In the early 2000s, the country was terrorized by Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), a homegrown extremist organization allied with al-Qaeda. JI’s deadliest attack was the 2002 Bali bombing that killed 202 people. While JI has been neutralized, ISIS has claimed responsibility for recent, smaller terrorist incidents in the country and has inspired some Indonesians to fight in Syria — Indonesians who could pose a threat when they return home. The country has also seen the rise of hate groups that preach intolerance and violence against local religious and ethnic minorities, which include Shia and Ahmadiya Muslims.
Among Indonesia’s most influential Islamic leaders is Yahya Cholil Staquf, 51,advocates a modern, moderate Islam. He is general secretary of the Nahdlatul Ulama, which, with about 50 million members, is the country’s biggest Muslim organization. Yahya. This interview, notable for Yahya’s candor, was first published on Aug. 19 in German in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Here are excerpts translated from the original Bahasa Indonesia into English.

I agree that the interview is worth reading in its entirety and it vindicates what is said in the title. The few paragraphs you quote are on their own misrepresentative of the interview as they give the impression that Islamic violence is confined to some extremist groups. Reading the whole interview it is obvious that he is saying that violence is part and parcel of Islam because of some of the tenets held.
The parts you quoted from the article are just the introduction to the interview by the writer and do not include anything at all from what the Muslim scholar said.
This is what Sharia law means :-

From a conversation I had with a muslim they think Islam is good for the human race. You see, if you stone adulterers /homosexuals etc., you discourage everyone else from doing it, which they believe is good for society. I'm guessing it's the same with freedom of speech. If you don't have it, you're going to get rid of speech that is against Islamic values. Again seen as a good thing.
(note: sometimes i don't correctly express what I mean to say)
Western society has terminal cancer. It's called The Left.When we define something, anything, we always bring to that definition our own bias and prejudices.
Such bias are often not conscious. We often do not recognise them to be anything but "the truth", never for a moment thought that it's just our own definition, arrived at from our experience, our readings, our surroundings.
In short, Lao Tzu says... the Way that can be defined is not the true Way.
Hence, it is best to call a good when we see it to be a good; an evil when we see it to be evil. Do that rather than use one event over another to define this or that group.
Take Western Civilisation, that greatest civilisation of all time... what defines it? The good bits or the bad bits?
The SOCIALIST LeftIt's called The Left.
The SOCIALIST Left
Yes the socialist left was about the means of production, whether state or privately controlled. This new left is far removed from such quaint economic notions.No it's the "New Left", nothing to do with socialism, unions, marxism, Labor, Liberal and certainly nought to do with the "Workers Paradise" Australia was once so proud both sides of the political fence.
It's academics, the bored twits and nuisance people who reject class struggle and have built on the counter culture revolutions of the sixties youth, hijacked that agenda and gone looking for causes to fix regardless of the consequences, because the consequences add to the list of required fixes.
Why do Muslims want to come to Australia, knowing that it is not a Muslim country, then demand to change it. How many non-Muslim Australians got to any Muslim country and demand that they stop being Muslim? And what do you think will be the countries response?
If living in a Muslim country is their desire, then why not go THERE? No disrespect, just common logic!
