Thank you very much, Prashant and Our Values Statement

Submitted by A very concerned reader (Australia), Apr 5, 2021 at 16:19

You're very welcome, Prashant. I feel exactly the same. Because of my close contact to Muslims, I could know their real mindset. And many things that we gave for not believed or practiced nowadays, still are. The lies that they say to secure their position in the West, for instance. This certainly poses a threat to our societies and safety. I have to admit that it steals my sleep because it can be very dangerous if that liar turns to be a terrorist. Their words condemning our lifestyle and our freedom is just plain concerning.

I was reading the statement which visa holders have to sign in order to be granted, and it's so beautiful. Of course it states clearly that one has to abide only by Australian law and accept the freedom to speech, the freedom and dignity of the individual, the freedom of association, the freedom to choose your own religion and even the freedom not to follow any. Now you will tell me if they abide by any of this according to their thinking. Of course not. Not themselves nor their relatives, because from the moment that they have a child, they will force their children into Islam, they will follow their laws in their day-to-day life matters (for instance, girls can only marry Muslim men and cannot associate with men, they will be forced to use hijab, etc.). They will not allow their children to participate in our community as it is expected because of their restrictions. This time, they will be forcing an Australian citizen who won't have the right and the joy of abiding by our system. Because they pass the test. Dr Pipes, there you are our country's Values Statement;
