So what if Pauline Hanson dislikes Islam? If she disliked Christianity and called it a “disease,” would she be on trial today? No, she would be getting awards at banquets filled with glitterati.
Lost in the controversy over Hanson is the question of whether or not anything she said is true. Is Islam compatible with Western secular republican government or not? It’s “racist” and “Islamophobic” even to ask the question, and so it never gets answered.
“Pauline Hanson grilled over views on Islam during heated court hearing,” by Michaela Whitbourn, Sydney Morning Herald, April 30, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has been grilled in court about her public statements on Muslim people, including her claim that Islam is “a disease”, as Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi sues her over a tweet telling her to “piss off back to Pakistan”.
Faruqi, a Muslim who migrated to Australia from Pakistan in 1992, is suing Hanson under racial discrimination laws in response to the comment on Twitter, now X, which was posted on September 9, 2022. The Federal Court trial before Justice Angus Stewart started in Sydney on Monday.
Faruqi, the deputy leader of the Greens, is seeking court orders requiring Hanson to delete the post, attend anti-racism training at her own cost and make a $150,000 donation to a charity chosen by Faruqi.
Hanson gave evidence on Tuesday. Saul Holt, KC, acting for Faruqi, played Hanson a clip from Seven’s Sunrise program in 2010, in which the One Nation senator was asked if she would sell her home to a Muslim person. She said no on air, adding that she did not believe “they are compatible with our way of life”.
Asked repeatedly in court if she meant what she had said, Hanson initially said the question was “irrelevant” because she didn’t sell her house. Later, she said: “Probably not.” She added that she was opposed to fundamentalist and extremist ideology.
Hanson agreed that she had also said in 2017 that “Islam is a disease” and “we need to vaccinate ourselves against that”. But she disagreed that she had advocated for a full ban on Muslim immigration to Australia, saying that it might be her “personal opinion” but “it’s not in my policy booklet”.
The court was also played a clip from Nine’s A Current Affair in 2017, in which Hanson suggested it might be difficult to identify a fundamentalist or extremist from other Muslims because “you line up a number of Muslims; who’s the good one?”…

So all Aussie Jews should sue the imams who demean Judaism.
And I apologize in advance for the next statement, but I cannot resist:
Australia? I’m sure she’ll be tried in a kangaroo court.

What’s the problem here other than overzealous leftist -communist judges and prosecutors who have a self-loathing about themselves and western history and culture. Free speech and thought are a bane to tyrants.
rooare says
Faruqi seems to be practicing ‘civilization jihad’ in using a nations laws against itself and/or it’s citizens to further the Islamization process demanded in Islamic doctrine to subjugate the entire world under the brutal sharia.
End PC says
Exactly, and how is it that European descendants that are so stupidly chumps about it, even destroying their free speech to accommodate a people of an extremely intolerant religion that encourages them to hate all not in it? Even historically to conquer, kill or subjugate them. Incredible insanity.
carpediadem says
She has addressed many Hamas rallies where the flags of Hezbollah were flown.
Ray Jarman says
The question, “you line up a number of Muslims; who’s the good one?” There is only one answer which is not even one that is good. If one carefully observes any country that these inbred sub-humans have been permitted to infest, only disruption and attempted injury to the inhabitants have been the result of the plague.
carpediadem says
Faruqi is such a one.

A moment for us infidels{ “The WORST of created beings” koran 98:6}to consider the great cultural contributions islam has given the world:
music,art ,literature{OK the koran fair enough:wins the fantasy fiction}comedy festivals,beer.
It is hard to find .like the mysterious “peace” of islam.
Sort of like an islamic symphony orchestra then.Or a discussion about the koran /islamic “debate” by a muslim “scholar” that does not involve lying or desperately fiddling the Arabic to hide allah’s{suspiciously HUMAN!!] errors or intolerant attitudes to black folk/Jews/other religions
How many islamic rock anthems can you sing or name?
Exactly
Of course there are nice peole who are muslims but islam sucks.It doesn’t even have the Golden Rule{impossible in islam due to koran 98;6}
Dr K says
Sharia Is Shit-Don’t Put Up With It
FYI says
the koran has something for Australian Aboriginal folk but the muslims won’t tell you
Australian Aboriginal folk.As long as your face turns white{“And as for those whose faces have been whitened -in the mercy of allah they dwell for ever”you might be Ok with allah[ koran 3:106-107 }but if your faces are blackened and don’t change to white then you will be punished in hell “Taste the punishment for that ye have disbelieved”
allah is an intolerant god.allah judges by complexion.
The Biblical God by contrast is an equal opportunity God
the koran :it has something for ever kufar sorry person!
tim gallagher says
Well, now let’s see, is islam a disease or an evil, hate-filled ideology from the point of view of any non-Muslim? I would say that, without a doubt, it is. The Koran calls on Muslims to kill non-believers when the chance arises. From a non-Muslims point of view, islam is a rotten, evil, hate-filled load of shit. It wouldn’t matter whether it was islam or any other evil load of shit that called on its members to hate and kill the non-members of the stinking cult, such a religious ideology would be a disease and an evil poison. islam would need to be changed totally and it would need to say, be nice and tolerant towards non-believers , the golden rule, for it to be decent and stop being a rotten disease, but it never will change. Hanson is right and I applaud her courage. She is saying what huge numbers of wide awake Australians are saying and thinking about islam. As for Faruqi, she should piss off back to Pakistan. She is nothing but endless trouble, a hate-filled Muslim. The Hungarians get it right about islam and almost all of them would agree with and applaud Hanson’s views on islam. Because she is telling the truth, not toeing the usual bullshit line about islam’s nature.
somehistory says
Tim, does the government there not have statute of limitations for crimes? If so, how long would such be if the woman saying her own opinion is a crime?
And, is expressing this kind of opinion…of another’s religion…a crime?
If it’s a civil matter, doesn’t the mozlum have to prove that she was injured in some way?
thanks in advance for your reply.
tim gallagher says
Sorry, somehistory, I don’t know the law. It is Sunday morning out here so I watched the “Outsiders” program on Sky News and they dealt with this situation a bit. Faruqi, a Greens senator, is someone I haven’t taken much notice of, but, from what the presenters on “Outsiders” said, when the Queen died last year,(and the English monarch is still Australia’s head of state) Faruqi, who mainly seems to be an anti-white racist said that she was not going to mourn the death of the Queen of the white colonisers, etc, and Hanson replied and that’s when she said that Faruqi had come to Australia, was doing fine out here, but should piss off back to Pakistan. I agree. I hope this toxic white man hating Faruqi loses this case, but I expect that she might win. There are plenty of left wing judges, etc, out here. As I said, Hanson expresses what a lot of average Australians would think about islam but most politicians are too cowardly to say anything critical of islam. As for the law, I don’t know. i guess it bores me and I just can’t wait for the day when most Australians wake up, like the Hungarians, and say to islam and Muslims to piss off out of this country and the law can go to hell..
somehistory says
Thank you, Tim. I appreciate the response.
The pakistani is a trouble maker, like all devout mozlums.
Probably at this time, she will win against the woman who told the Truth. For the time-being, anyway.
The Truth will win in the end.
tim gallagher says
No worries, somehistory. I should mention, to all Jihad Watch people, that on the “Outsiders” program they also showed a speech that was given by a young Dutch politician named Eva Vlaardingerbroek at a conservative conference, the CPAC conference. I had never heard of Eva but the speech was about the Great Replacement Theory (I think it was)of whites in Europe and she had some great stuff to say. The presenters of “Outsiders” said that 50 million people had viewed her speech. I looked Eva up and the speech is there on X. She was talking about the disaster, in terms of crime and rapes, etc, the Muslim invasion of Europe has been. They showed a few extracts from her speech which i think runs for 12 minutes in total.
carpediadem says
She’s been addressing proHamas /anti Israel rallies for years, ignoring the fact that many rally attendees fly the Hezbollah flag.
JS says
Any Statute of Limitations should be that this Islamic woman that was permitted into Australia has only been there since 1992! Throw these monsters out! They do not belong in any Western civilization because they are NOT civilized. As for being anti-white? After researching long hours and watching their videos , I came to the discover that Islamic folks do not like the African ones and often use the slur of ABEED – meaning black slave. In addition, the only time they consider POC (people of color) is when they’re accepting some benefit. Otherwise, they are WHITE and racist not only for their color, but because of Islamic Supremacy. So, the very people that are permitted in our nations by FOOLS, use terms like racism, colonialism and all they can to attack us and divide us, yet they are the racists against Africans, homophobic, hateful against all other religions (is there a name for that?) including atheists, and even each other.
Everything a Muslim accuses others of is what they themselves do! Remember that.
We are all going to have to change our laws and revoke citizenship to all of them EXCEPT the TRUE victim asylum seekers that would never go back to their home country because they’d be killed. How idiotic that we let in the asylum seekers and then allow in the very monsters they tried to run away from?
Last night I watched an ID show about an Iranian family that immigrated to the US with their two small children. One of the kids now grown, abducted a man and woman, but tortured the man brutally before sawing off his penis slowly while singing. He didn’t leave the sawed off penis – he took it with him so it couldn’t be reattached if the woman got free!
Then when accused he took off for two years to IRAN! So my point is that something is wrong with these people. They think nothing about committing atrocities similar to Oct 7th. Brigette Gabriel who is a Christian Lebanese tells the story about what the PLO did to her people. She says that the Oct 7th crimes were also done to the Christian Lebanese.
Look her up and find her long version story,
AND everyone that wants to be on a continual cycle of learning than be sure to subscribe (it will costs you nothing) to MEMRI.org and hear what the Islamic world says – in their own words!
tim gallagher says
Spot on, JS. I agree with everything you said there. There is no getting along peacefully with the Muslim enemy of all civilised values, there never has been, and it is the dumbest move ever, a totally futile and idiotic experiment, to let them into civilised, non-Muslim countries.
PRCS says
1. Stop calling them Asians and the “racist” claim goes away.
2. “adding that she did not believe “they are compatible with our way of life”.” Gotta be specific: Muslims are incompatible with Australia’s way of life because Islam is.
3. ““there is no sign saying ‘good Muslim’ or ‘bad Muslim’.” The common notion that Muslim fundamentalists are the “bad” Muslims is so ass backward.
abu taleb says
The west thinks they should be better people by not trying to be racist etc. so they succumb to the Islamists, the abortionists, the LGBTQ++ etc. At the end, the west is doing racist things in a much worse way to the people (the conservatives) who are against the Islamists etc and stick to the moral which build the west world.
Isn’t that an irony, you want to fight against racism and other bad deeds but eventually you are doing exactly what you are supposed to fight without realizing it because of your own ignorance, bigotry and stupidity.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article:
“Hanson suggested it might be difficult to identify a fundamentalist or extremist from other Muslims because “you line up a number of Muslims; who’s the good one?”
Good question, Pauline Hanson.
Answer: you can’t…
somehistory says
James, By “good”….does she mean ‘ a good mozlum’ or a ‘good human’?
James Lincoln says
Yes, somehistory.
That is the question.
PRCS says
Her problem, as with so many, is the oxymoronic notion that fundamentalist Muslims are the “bad” Muslims.
Goofy says
Australia was close to having their Bishop Mar Mari Immanuel knifes to death by a zealous young convert to the fastest growing self-righteous religion in the world Islam. Still they consider the Muslims to be the underdogs?
The Muslims will keep on pressing to overturn the Christian faith and culture in Australia. They will have blasphemy laws in place soon to protect the sensitive feelings of the Muslim rapists, pedophiles and throat slitters. After all they do everything to honour Allah and family!
The first court case will be against Christianity, which offends Islam by offering eternal life for those who believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins!
And nobody in the Christian community will have given it a thought that Islam itself is founded on blasphemy of Judaism and Christianity and the commands of the Qur’an are in conflict with all criminal legislation, conventions on human rights and war crimes.
We have been too busy to be understanding and inclusive!
john thomas pay says
pauline thinks the same as most australians she is a person who has the guts to say what needs to be islam does not work it is hear for wealfare like all western countrys
Gregory Samuel Conway says
Islam is not compatable with Australia and this country has imported a massive threat for the future within 15-20 years there will be a war in Australia between Australians and moslems.
Rockdoctor says
Gets worse, apparently Faruqi couldn’t answer a simple question posed by a journalist via Daily Mail Oz:
“Senator Faruqi was approached by independent journalist Chris De Bruyne outside the Federal Court in Sydney this week where she gave a surprisingly non-committal answer to what should have been an easily refutable proposition.
‘Are all white people racist?’ Mr De Bruyne asked.
Senator Faruqi shook her head and replied ‘no comment’.
‘That’s not a no,’ Mr De Bruyne pushed.
Senator Faruqi’s solicitor then advised her not to respond and the pair walked away.”
The judge is a dripping wet lefty we took in from South Africa. I’m not expecting a happy outcome for Pauline.

You ain’t seen what is happening in Europe, France, Germany and Sweden in particular. All at risk of internal conflict, physically and militarily
Tony Rice says
I make a suggestion to w/wide JURY, that before any trial takes place involving a Muslim, the members of the judging panel learn something, at least about The Prophet, and try to reconcile the numbers 52 and 4 54 and 6 then 56 and 8 or 9 should bring some ” enlightenment ” into the matter. Plus in the case in question, I am surprised a woman can defend and stand up for SHARIA, bearing in mind its reduction of women to second class citizens in all matters, such as in marriage/ divorce testimony, subservience ( beatings etc ) inheritance
OLD GUY says
SHARIA court now there is DIVERSITY and EQUALITY for WOMEN!
All these young women protesting on behalf of HAMAS have NO idea of what’s in store for them under (SHARIA LAW.)
Lisa T. says
We have freedom of speech in America because it is enshrined in our constitution. We may assume that other Western countries have these same protections, but they do not. England does not have free speech as a guarantee and since Australia is part of the Commonweath of Nations, former British colonies, they share similar laws. Scotland recently passed a law that such discussions as we are having here, we could all be arrested for. J.K. Rowling recently announced that she is looking forward to being arrested since her position on biological women is offensive to trans women and could be considered hate speech.
Lest we forget says
D-Day anniversary in a short while and we will remember in prayer the brave selfless Anzacs, Americans, Canadians, Brits and all other young men and women that gave their lives so we could have ours and look at the world our sick politicians have given us.
