"I work in intelligence and diplomacy"

That is what is wrong with Australia today, the low calibre and the low intellectual capacity, of the people who have risen to positions of [public] trust in this country, is appalling, imo.

I honestly cannot find a fault with Islam.
If applied to society as it has been, it has objectives of:
tolerance
compassion
strong family bonds
respect for other faiths
There is no problem.

The fault is with the Australian system and imposed way of life, not with Islam.
As we listen to easel, we might imagine that ISLAM were a philosophy which supported pluralism and tolerance of the other.
ISLAMIC LAW....
"Ibn 'Umar related that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said,
"I have been ordered to kill the people until they testify that there is no god except Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer and pay the zakah. If they do that, their blood and wealth are protected from me save by the rights of Islam. Their reckoning will be with Allah." (Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.) "

ISLAMIC LAW....
"Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet said: "The bare essence of Islam and the basics of the religion are three [acts], upon which Islam has been established.
Whoever leaves one of them becomes an unbeliever and his blood may legally be spilled. [The acts are:] Testifying that there is no God except Allah, the obligatory prayers, and the fast of Ramadan."...."

"Whoever......becomes an unbeliever.....his blood may legally be spilled."THE EXAMPLE OF MOHAMMED [Allah's messenger] INSTRUCTS THE MOSLEM, THAT MURDERING FOR HIS 'RELIGION' IS HALAL....
THE HADITH....
"...the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him."

v. 8-11
"
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission,
and feel themselves subdued. "
Koran 9.29
"There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah: we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you,
enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone"....."
