Of course they are justified in implementing whatever immigration program they want. Thats the great thing about being a sovereign nation - you get to decide who does and who doesn't come into your country.

But to frame the pushback against refugees and immigration in parts of Eastern and Central Europe as a 'muslims under the bed' hysteria, is a bit misleading IMO. I think the more relevant point is that these countries are inadequately equipped economically and infrastructure wise to handle mass immigration - regardless of where they come from. Plus they are notoriously racist, and so any influx of different coloured people (not just muslim) will have implications for the social fabric - implications that you won't get so much in more progressive/tolerant western Europe.

So the problem is that he explained the meaning of the analogy?

You jest surely?

Joseph Kony broke every rule Christ advocated as the true path for his followers.

On the other hand:

The little old kind hearted granny is apparently following what her Redeemer said.

So people (except muslims and their apologists) don't associate the two.

Conversely:

Your good book, revered founder, and your god, all tell us that slaughter of disbelievers is part and parcel of islam.

You venerate all three of the above as being infallible and the perfect example for mankind today 2018, so you endorse the cause and motivation of islamic terrorism, you therefore patronize the engendered terrorism.

until you're honest and thoroughly analyze the inciting of atrocities by your book, prophet, and god, of course people will link  all muslims as being members of the death cult islam.      

It all boils down to the evil displayed by the qur'an, muhammad and allah, has to be addressed by muslims.

You're in a bind I know as such a dissecting of your doctrine will destroy islam, however I think you'll find people are getting sick and tired of the excuses.

You have had it in the long run, that's as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, no matter how many laws and lies arise to protect you, truth will eventually beat you.

That's what white anting means Gandalf. You know that white ants are termites don't you?

The Lords resistance army is confined to a small part of Africa. Islamism is a global threat.

You see the difference, don’t you?

Thats what the Islamophobes keep telling me.

Yet if you look at the entire African continent, christian terrorism is actually a big thing there. And its certainly not limited to Joseph Kony, nor a "small part of Africa". True its not global, but its certainly not the isolated sideshow some make it out to be.

You are avoiding my question FD. Can you confirm that in terms of what constitutes hate speech you don't think there is any difference between accusing someone of white anting and comparing muslim immigrants to termites? We're not talking about whether there is a difference in the literal meaning.

And I stand by my claim that a speaker who wanted to come to Australia to argue how muslim immigrants really come here as some sinister agenda to "white ant" society and bring it down by stealth jihad - would likely be banned for hate speech.
