Isis-trained Muslims slaughter fifteen Jews, wound forty more, so Australia bans Nazis?

So says the UN, anyway

In Response to Bondi Beach Attack, Australian Province Bans Something Completely Irrelevant

Chris Minns is the premier of New South Wales (NSW), where a father-son team of Islamic jihadis murdered fifteen Jews and injured 40 others on Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Dec. 16. In response to this atrocity, Minns is taking swift and decisive action, banning the Nazi ideology. I could write this in practically every article these days, but here it applies even more than it usually does: This is not a parody. This actually happened.

What does the Nazi ideology have to do with the Bondi Beach jihad massacre? Precisely nothing. Banning it does, however, allow Minns to appear to be doing something to protect Australians, while simultaneously obfuscating the actual motivating ideology behind the Bondi Beach attack and avoiding doing what Minns wants to avoid doing at all costs: losing Muslim votes.

To be sure, Minns also banned the public screaming of chants such as “globalise the intifada,” which is a call for the mass murder of Jewish civilians. Still, as Latham, who was himself once a leader of Australia’s Labor party, points out, he is treating a symptom, not the cause. Latham declared: “Instead of jailing and deporting Islamic hate preachers who radicalise young Muslims like Naveed Akram, we have focused on: banning hate speech, banning protests, banning social media, banning Nazi symbols, and banning free speech in the name of multiculturalism.”

…. Minns just dug the hole he was already in even deeper, saying: "We don't have the same freedom of speech laws that they have in the U.S., and the reason for that is that we want to hold together a multicultural community." 

There you have it. The choice that Australia faces, and that all the countries of what was once known as the free world will ultimately face, is between the freedom of speech and multiculturalism. Politicians’ never-ending quest for votes, and the enticing unanimity of the Muslim voting bloc, will mean that the freedom of speech, which Islam decisively rejects, will be increasingly under threat in the West in the coming years. If it is to survive, and if the free societies it makes possible are to survive, we will need politicians who are considerably stronger than Chris Minns.
