When it comes to national security and fighting terrorism the Howard government in Australia doesn’t seem too concerned about putting aside political correctness.
AUSTRALIA’S Muslim leaders have been “read the riot act” over the need to denounce any links between Islam and terrorism.
The Howard Government’s multicultural spokesman, Andrew Robb, yesterday told an audience of 100 imams who address Australia’s mosques that these were tough times requiring great personal resolve.
Mr Robb also called on them to shun a victim mentality that branded any criticism as discrimination.
“We live in a world of terrorism where evil acts are being regularly perpetrated in the name of your faith,” Mr Robb said at the Sydney conference.
“And because it is your faith that is being invoked as justification for these evil acts, it is your problem.
Bravo!
