Multiculturalism Gone Horribly Wrong
Wed, Jul 27, 2005 at 8:27:42 pm PDT
An interview with the enemy, from Australia’s 60 Minutes: Home grown. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
SHEIKH KHALID YASIN: Our message is to young people, young brothers and sisters — trust is sacred, and how can you put a sacred trust in the hands of a non-Muslim that doesn’t understand what that sanctity is about?
PETER OVERTON: My journey into the world of Islam began here — a suburban town hall in Sydney.
SHEIKH KHALID YASIN: I like to talk like one of you.
PETER OVERTON: These are young Muslims and they’re Australian. Most of them were born here. But the message they were hearing was of a world that sounds so alien to so many of us.
SHEIKH KHALID YASIN: There’s no such thing as a Muslim having a non-Muslim friend, so a non-Muslim could be your associate but they can’t be a friend. They’re not your friend because they don’t understand your religious principles and they cannot because they don’t understand your faith.
PETER OVERTON: Sheikh Khalid Yasin is not an enemy of the Western world but nor is he a friend. For him, Muslims and non-Muslims will be forever divided.
SHEIKH KHALID YASIN: Australians have to wake up and smell the coffee. To what extent do people expect that people assimilate to where it gets to the point where you actually want me to imitate?
PETER OVERTON: Khalid was born in America and was once a patriot. He served in Vietnam, but then converted to Islam. Now he’s a true believer in the Koran, an uncompromising disciple of its strict justice system, travelling the world to spread his message. This is what he believes men should do to wives who disobey.
SHEIKH KHALID YASIN: The verse says (speaks Arabic). Specifically, this means, if you take that word literally, it means literally beat them lightly, like I would my child. Like that or like that.
