Liz Geyer: “We are the true ANZAC’s (sic), not them.”

 

Liz Geyer is a very proud Strayan, with some very probing questions.

Okay.  Let’s start at the beginning.

“This one is for my fellow ANZAC’s. (sic)

You’re not an ANZAC and nor is anyone else on Facebook.  The last ANZAC passed away over a decade ago.

“How many Muslims have you seen singing our National Anthems?”

National anthems?  Plural?

If you mean ‘Advance Australia Fair’, here’s one example.

For the most part, though, how do you tell?  Perhaps you can get a crowd shot from a major sporting match where the anthem is played, and go through it and tell us which people in the crowd are Muslim and which are non-Muslim.  And explain how you can discern this based on just looking at someone.  Please.

“How many Muslims have you seen waving our flags or having our national icons painted on their faces?”

This kind of thing, you mean?

“How many Muslims have you seen attending ANZAC Day?”

How would you know what religion the people in the crowd were?  Or, for that matter, in the parade itself?

In July 2013 there were 88 Muslims serving in the ADF, so it stands to reason that some of them might well have marched in the parade on ANZAC Day in the past, and may do so again this year.

“How many Muslims have you seen wearing a Poppy to commemorate the fallen?”

Quite a few, actually. 

There are probably many who don’t, as well.  Along with many non-Muslims who don’t.

“How many Muslims have you seen donating money or food to national emergencies or charities?”

Do you mean like when the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, part of the United Arab Emirates, donated $30 million to the state of Queensland to build cyclone shelters, such as this one at a high school in Yeppoon?

Or when the Muslim Charitable Foundation (MCF) donated pallets of gyprock to repair 50-60 flood damaged homes in Ipswich and, together with the Queensland Muslim Welfare Association, delivered two truckloads of clothing and linen to flood victims?

Perhaps when Islamic Relief collected sleeping bags for those who had lost their homes in bushfires, or when Lakemba Mosque raised $26,000 in a single Friday night for Brisbane flood victims?

Like that, Liz?

“If you answered none to all of those then you are correct.”

Well this is awkward.  Let’s see if we can provide a quick correction:

If you answered none to all of those then you are correct an ignoramus.

“They claim to be citizens like us, some were even born here, but, they demand more rights than us, more freedom than us, more allowance than us, more, more, more, more.”

Uh, no.

“If we are all citizens as they claim, then why should they demand more, what right do they have to do so?”

Citation needed.

“The difference is, they can act like us, but we ARE us.”

Er… what?

“We are the true ANZAC’s (sic), not them. No Islamist will be an ANZAC citizen.
Not then, not now, not EVER!”

A citizen of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps of WWI?  lolwhut?

Liz, you are not an ANZAC.  You’re just someone typing away on Facebook, trying to assume the voice of long dead soldiers to push your own views, which is pretty disgusting.  You don’t speak for dead soldiers.

Seeing as you present yourself as such a parochial halfwit proud Australian citizen you should probably invest some time in actually understanding the military history of the country you claim to defend and the terms that relate to that history.

 

 

 

 

 

Just in: Lies from the bogot’s favourite fish wrapper

The bogot loves Murdoch newspapers and derives much of its delusions knowledge from them (alongside its other education provider the shock jocks ) but it has a particular fondness for the Herald-Sun and its clone stablemates.

The lurid headlines are a particular attraction, full as they are of the bogot’s favourite buzz-words like “refugees”, “asylum seekers” (or the portmanteau “boat-people”), “Aborigines”, “immigrants” (often preceded by the word “illegal” almost always in the wrong context) and “Muslim” or “Islamic” (interchangeable despite having different meanings) juxtaposed cleverly with “rip-off” and “rort” and “terrorist” and accompanied by short and usually inaccurate pieces with a readability level of about nine years of age.

So today’s headliner was no surprise. We hope the retailer who owns that image is aware that in true Hun fashion, one of their promotional pics has been ripped off , so eager were the Seekers after Troof to get the story out to the bogot masses.

Herald Sun

In case you really want to read more

But sadly for the Hun the Refugee Council and a whole lot of NGOs who care for asylum seekers in the community were swift to denounce the beat-up and to present the facts. So we are happy to do likewise.

And this post from the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre Facebook page.

Kon's post

We look forward to Media Watch taking the Hun slowly apart on Monday night.

Asylum Seekers – the Myths are getting Bigger

Things Bogots Say

And now for something completely different…

A TAB supporter made a fortuitous typo in a comment – he/she typed “bogot” instead of “bigot” but we rather liked it since it combined “bogan” with “bigot”.

Not all bogans are bigots of course, but these bogots certainly are. So settle back and enjoy these selections from the wonderfully bizarre world of the xenophobe.

First, some gems of wisdom from everyone’s favourite barking mad group admin.

Batty1

Unlike Batty who does sit in front of the computer all day in its ceaseless mission to purge Straya of those dastardly covered-up Muslamics.

Batty demographics

Now here Batty dips its tentacles into the rich waters of sociology and politics and declaims that we are now a Demographic [sic] society. We are sure the people who run opinion polls will be glad to hear that since it will save them a lot of work. No more of those damned dependent variables to account for. Just ask Batty.

Batty2

What, only one woman was supposed to cover up? So can we assume the rest of the women were cavorting around the Mediterranean naked? Must have been a hot time in the Holy Land. We doubt that Fred Nile would approve.

Not only that but 700 years puts us slap bang into the 14th Century – you know, medieval times? No Jesus, no Mohammed – both long dead – unless Batty has some arcane knowledge of the past which the rest of us do not possess?

Mardi Grath? Sounds like yet another one of those festivals from the Battyverse, presumably involving all those naked Mediterranean women. We assume Queen Faggot was a monarch of the time. Or something.

Moving along reluctantly from the Battyverse we come to Alan Jones.

No, not the real Alan Jones though he wouldn’t be out of place in this bunch of bogots. This lad not only has nicked his name but has a picture of deceased demented gun-lover and Hollywood he-man Charlton Heston for his profile pic. Apparently that is meant to distract us from the likelihood that he is actually a 14 year old boy with terminal acne and a fondness for frenzied sausage stroking.

Alan Jones

Well sonny maybe if you updated your sound card drivers, cleaned out the pop-ups from all that porn you download and saw the doctor about your auditory hallucinations things might improve. It is fascinating to see too that “Alan” believes that the “islamics” [sic ] (who actually invented modern mathematics and a great deal of modern chemistry among other scientific breakthroughs) are “not very smart” and that there are a whole bunch of “asians” [sic] out there who have nothing better to do than to pretend to be said “islamics” [sic ].

Amazing!

No cavalcade of  the wisdom of the bogotariat would be complete without Batty’s own resident sage Bonnie

Bonnie

Now let’s see if we have this correct – bogans are not right. Well, er, yeah Bonnie. But wait…if we are wearing the right hat that means we will think they are left or right. Right? – (or left). Or ambidextrous.

Maybe we need this.

Sorting Hat

Or strong pain killers.

No examination of the fevered mind of the bogot is complete without some religious knowledge. And Jazz demonstrates she has a profound understanding of Christianity. So much so that it takes a Hindu to correct her.

Religious knowledge

Last but certainly not least we bring you Linda, yet another one of Batty’s resident sages. Linda is a deep thinker on matters spiritual as you can tell. Her speciality is “scraves” [sic]. They sound suspiciously like something Opus Dei might use. No doubt Dan Brown has a book coming out on the topic.

Scraves

We are glad Linda does not have a problem with “scraves”.
