Call for Muslim army in Australia

They were told Australia's democratic government has to go in favour of an Islamic Caliphate ruled by Sharia Law.

"Now they say are brave, they have their freedoms… yeah because you have no state, no authority, you have no representation, they can be brave! But be brave when we have authority! Come forward when we have a representation with an army! Ready to defend the honour of Allah and his Messenger. They will not. They will not. And that's what we have to understand,” Merhi told the crowd.

Freedom of speech was top of the agenda as firebrand preacher Bilal Merhi said Australians use freedom of speech to mock Islam.

"We will continue to stand up and oppose your freedom to insult our Messenger! Takbir! Allahu Akbar! Takbir! Allahu Akbar!”

"Mr Weinstein insists that contrary to the stereotype some people might have, he is not a "Chardonnay-drinking liberal"—he is a Republican, and proud to come from a family with a strong military tradition. But he regards creeping fundamentalism as an impediment to a coherent military and hence a "national security issue". Besides, "mixing nuclear weapons with apocalyptic end-time theology is very dangerous." Even if they have an open mind about Bibles in hotel rooms, many people will say "Amen" to that."

in Australia. Most probably aren't recruitable, though, and they're only 2.2% of the population.

And yet they wonder why religion is mocked and ridiculed. Long live the blasphemers and secularists who speak out against these authoritarian nutjobs who want to impose their cruelty on us.
