"Teaching in 1960s crackers," says inspector
(oct 2004) "The head of the government's education watchdog last night launched an unprecedented attack on teaching in primary schools in the 1960s and 1970s, claiming that much of it had been "plain crackers".David Bell, the chief inspector of schools, admitted he had come "off the fence" in criticising a succession of Labour and Conservative government education policies which for two decades had left children to learn for themselves." says Rebecca Smithers, education editor of the Guardian, in her article "Teaching in 1960s crackers", says inspector, which appeared on 6 October 2004
How Canadian Tolerance Became Intolerance
"Sooner or later, the de facto mutual support society of progressives and Islamists had to collapse under the weight of its own contradictions. The progressives who have supported the claims of Islamists in the West have long chosen to disregard the saying that one cannot be so open minded as to let your brains fall out. Now reality forces them to wake up and, increasingly in Europe and now in Canada, realize that the Islamists' goals are incompatible with their own, and that excessive "tolerance" inevitably leads to intolerance." says Michael Radu in How Canadian Tolerance Became Intolerance - FrontPageMagazine.com -August 18, 2004
Spreading the Word of Intolerance
I often refer to the Wahabi wing or the Taliban of Australian politics. Paul Sheehan's Spreading the Word of Intolerance (Sydney Morning Herald Oct 4,) gives you an indication as to what they have in mind given a Federal Labor Government. Before Saturday's election, it is important this is understood. With the Greens holding the balance of power in the Senate this law would be a fait acompli.
Below I have reposted Daniel Scott's story, originally posted in 2003.
Daniel Scot is a Pakistani Christian Pastor. His story in "Christian Pastors taken to Court to Silence Criticism of Islam" is a must read.
I know Pastor Scot personally and I have often mentioned his story on air. Essentially it is about the Islamic Council of Victoria taking Pastor Scot to the Victorian Equal Opportunity Commission using the 2001 Victorian Racial and Religious Vilification Act against him. Mr Scot, with his encyclopaedic knowledge of Islam's History, it's teachings past and present, was lecturing at a Melbourne seminar for Christians.
There were 3 recent Islamic converts in the audience that took offence. One may well ask why they were there in the first place?
Pastor Scot has offered to apologize if it can be pointed out to him by The Islamic Council of Victoria where he was in fact in error in the information presented by him during that lecture. So far they have been unable to do that and have had to change the details of their original complaint after a careful reading of Mr Scot's written response.
The main question is, will the act work in reverse??? That is, if some Christian were to be sitting in a Mosque and took offence at what was said, would the force of the act apply????
Another question: Is the act being used as a "pseudo" blasphemy law as they have in places like Pakistan to try and shut down debate??
I think you will find this email from the Barnabas Fund that has been forwarded to me, an interesting read
