Honesty in Australia
From Crikey
6. It's time to think seriously about Islamic profiling
Barrister and media commentator Peter Faris QC writes:
Islamic terrorists have been prevented from committing mass murder and destruction by the excellent work of the British police forces. Australia must now look to its homeland security as well. Our skies must be kept safe.
Now is the time to be honest about Islamic profiling. It is Muslim plane passengers who pose the terrorist threat to Australians. Not all Muslim passengers, but certainly some of them. Australia desperately needs an adequate identity card system. Religion should be stated on the ID card. This will increase the chances of identification of Islamic terrorists. No flight tickets could then be purchased without proper ID.
Australia cannot risk the lives of its citizens in some sort of game of Islamic Roulette. We know with absolute certainty that terrorists will come from the Muslim community. It is in our interest and theirs that Islamic terrorist attacks do not occur. Part of the price Muslims will have to pay is profiling.
Australian Muslim leaders must admit publicly that the terrorist threat comes from their people. Those leaders must support effective profiling procedures that will protect Muslims and the rest of Australians.
For too long, Political Correctness has forced us to look away and pretend that Muslims are not the threat. We must now acknowledge the threat of radical Islam in Australia before it is too late.
Surely all of Islamic Australia wants nothing more than a peaceful, terror-free Australia where we can all live in tolerance and harmony. I certainly do. Accordingly, Muslims must embrace profiling until this crisis is over. (And please do not rush to call me a racist – Islam is a religion, not a race).
