G-man I disagree. Just watching the opening sequence shows some severe right-wing spin. First they took quotes out of context to sensationalise them, and then they juxtaposed them with images from 9-11 – don’t you agree that that is biased? I strongly disagree with Hutchison’s views and agree that it was not just the ABC that made her look crazy – some of the things she said were extremely offensive and insensitive. However, to imply that she was a terrorist sympathiser was, in my view, unfair and not well founded. If you look at the article at the top of this page (the “this” link), you can see that she says outright that she doesn’t support terrorism. I’m personally very disappointed with the ABC’s work here.

Far from it. The ABC is the public broadcaster and very Left leaning. There was no right-wing spin to that story, the women are exactly as they were portrayed.

Not being from Australia or knowing about its TV channels, is ABC like or linked to Fox News, perchance?

Kimmie,

What is fundamentalism actually? Is fundamentalism the same as extremism?

Since Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the word of Allah and so are authentic narrations from the Prophet Muhammad, they’ve got to be fundamentalists. They’ve got to live by what they believe to be from the Divine.

The same could be said about those who believe that the Bible is fully the word of God. What the Qur’an says and contains and what the Bible says and contains, there lies the difference. Which one of the two is really from the Divine, as such could be taken as a complete guidance for living one’s life? Even if one becomes a fundamentalist to it, one will never be a “misfit” in society because one is being a fundamentalist for that which is from the Divine.

Boss, I think the Koran was sold out because people actually wish to understand WHY others would want to cause the unwarranted deaths of so many innocents. I know I did, but that does not make me a convert. In fact I am a Catholic by choice, but that does not mean that I blindly follow the Pope without thinking for myself. Fundamentalists of ANY faith, religion, or denomination (call it what you wish) will always take things to extreme. Especially those that became converts out of a desire and need to feel special or different. Fundamentalism tends to convert those with deep seated issues to “be a part of something bigger than themselves”.

You sneak it from the 3000 Jews who didn’t turn up for work on 9/11 while they’re not looking…

The woman obviously take their religion seriously, more than I can say for the christians and many of the muslims by name. Someone mentioned that this took “dawah” or islamic propagation, 10 year back in Australia. Some how I dont thinks so. I remember reading, that since 9/11 the rate of converts to islam increased at some dramatic rate. Qurans were sold out in US and many westerncountries. Some of my closest friends became muslim, and I can see that they embrace islam to its full extend, its just unfortunate that the west imposes on them its “freedom”.. so that they can’t practice their religion, its sad that some of the born muslims in the west, let the west walk all over them.

If you look at the history, many of the sciences and mathematics were all stolen from the muslims. I think islam is the true religion, as we can see from previous scriptures, the people who followed the truth, were always oppressed .. bullied by the “super powers”. If you look at the muslims.. they are those oppresed people. Even though they own the black gold, which should make them the leading people of the world.. but.. then they wouldn’t be the oppressed people i guess. SO its a catch 22… but i guess its not.. if you believe in paradise.. and one god, you’d accept islam for your salvation.

So, to be a muslim is to pledge the a covenant with Allah, the Creator of the heavens and earth, the Ruler of all that exists, the Lord of Majesty and Highness, and thats what those women did.

And also I testify .. La ilaha il Allah, Muhammad-ur-Rasool-Allah (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah)

Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a piece make me more sick. How sick and fickle our Western society has become, that we have allowed our culture, history and pride to be trampled to such an extent that our own middle-class white people are converting to Islam in the face of personal hardship. Absolutely appalling. Immigration from Islamic countries should halt immediately and Australians should cease to frequent Muslim trash-heaps like Bali. You have plenty of beautiful beaches in your own country and in the country of your friendly neighbors, the Kiwis. Cease taking vacations to Muslim countries immediately and supporting them with your money. It only furthers their cause and creates more contempt against us.

It’s time Western people rose up against such madness and defend who they are against such sick, deluded people. I would love to shoot those two black-dick loving whores in the street.

There was absolutely nothing out of context. What rubbish. The women have already said after the program that they stand by everything they said. Don’t be a victim all your life.
