Australian courts and returning jihadists; Albanese government on the wrong side of history, like all godless governments

 

Australia: Court grants bail to Islamic State bride, can’t bar ‘Doctor Jihad’ from returning to the country

In the future, some historians may wonder how Australia died as a free society. One key cause of death will be found to have been the loss of all idea of self-preservation and self-defense, and the ascendancy of the idea that the rights of criminals and jihadis took precedence over the right of Australians to be protected from those criminals and jihadis.

Criticism over ISIS bride bail triggers judges’ rebuke

by Noah Secomb, Australian Associated Press, July 23 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The peak body of judges has warned the federal opposition leader’s questioning of the decision to grant bail to a member of the ISIS bride cohort risks undermining trust in the legal system.

The Victorian Magistrates’ Court granted bail to Rayann El Houli, who faces charges of travelling to a restricted area and being a member of a terror group, on Monday.

Angus Taylor said in a social media post that ”it’s an utter disgrace that an accused ISIS bride has been granted bail by a Victorian Magistrate”….

“No ISIS bride should have been allowed back into our country in the first place.”

The, comments made on the day of the decision, prompted the Australian Judicial Officers Association to respond….

“The decisions of judicial officers are not immune from criticism. However, any criticism must not undermine public confidence in the courts: it should be measured and fair and recognise that it is the duty of judicial officers to impartially apply the law.”

Meanwhile, the government faces an impending dilemma as up to 13 men linked to Islamic State imprisoned in Iraq seek to return to Australia.

Among the group is Perth-born pediatrician Tareq Kamleh, colloquially known as “Doctor Jihad”, who travelled to Syria in 2015 to join the terror organisation and was assumed to have been killed….

The government may not be able to stop Kamleh from returning home due to strict constitutional limitations….

 

After Worst Muslim Terrorist Attack, Australian Government Tackles ‘Islamophobia’

The cover-up continues.

The radical Albanese regime in Australia solicited a 60 page report on Islamophobia from its ‘Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia’ which conveniently never actually defined Islamophobia, but did call for removing religion as a motive in terrorist attack because that would discriminate against Muslims…

…and is now set to spend tens of millions on fighting this ‘Islamophobia’.

This comes not long after the Bondi Beach Muslim massacre of Jews at a Chanukah Party that was the single worst Muslim terrorist attack in Australian history.

Instead, the Albanese regime keeps referencing the killing of Muslims in a mosque in New Zealand back in 2019, rather than talking about the Bondi Beach Muslim terrorist attack in December 2025, because an attack in New Zealand from 7 years ago is somehow more relevant than an attack in Australia 7 months ago.

Albanese took the time to attack Pauline Hanson of One Nation, a patriotic party which has been polling well, and which had called for dealing with Islamic terrorism, falsely claiming that she is damaging ‘social cohesion’. No word about whether hospitals having to hide the Bondi Beach terror attack victims from Muslim nurses ‘damages social cohesion’.

A Muslim minister in the Albanese regime falsely claimed that “Islamophobia is dangerously close to being normalized”. No, but the denial of Islamic terrorism has been once again normalized.

UK Government on Verge of Making It Illegal to Tell the Truth

New in PJ Media:

The UK’s far-left government has been working for quite some time on trying to define the concept of “Islamophobia.” This is urgently needed, Labour Party wonks are telling British citizens, because of a rise in “hate crimes” against Muslims. Who says there has been such a rise? The same Muslim groups that are pushing for the criminalization of “Islamophobia,” as well as the Labour government itself. Could Labour really be trying to solidify its hold on the Muslim vote by destroying the freedom of speech and imposing Sharia blasphemy laws through the back door, designed as efforts to stamp out “hate”? Why, of course they could. In fact, that is exactly what they’re doing.

As is the usual practice in such cases, leftists are obscuring the real issues with false premises and straw men. The Telegraph reported Monday that “stereotyping grooming gangs as Muslim could fall foul of a definition of Islamophobia being considered by the Government.” Now, no one who is informed about the rampant problem of rape gangs in the U.K. that victimized and destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of British girls could maintain that they are all Muslim down to the last man. However, as Holy Hell: Islam’s Abuse of Women and the Infidels Who Enable It shows, not only have the vast majority of the perpetrators been Muslims, but most of the victims were non-Muslim British girls.

In fact, for decades, British officials passed up numerous opportunities to do something to stop the rape gangs and protect British girls. They did so precisely because they feared the professional and even personal ruin that would almost certainly follow being accused of “Islamophobia” and “racism.”

Instead of correcting this suicidal myopia and acting to save the British nation before it’s too late, the Labour government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer is working to codify this massive cowardice into law. The Telegraph states that “‘prejudicial’ stereotyping or racialization of Muslims which is designed to stir up racial hatred is said to be one strand of a definition [of Islamophobia] drawn up by a working group for ministers.”

This is red meat for leftists who think they can use the force of the state to stamp out “hate” and enforce the multicultural paradise of their dreams. All they’ll end up doing, as is always the case under leftist governments, is terrifying the populace into submission and moving Britain ever closer to becoming an authoritarian state.

If this understanding of Islamophobia is adopted and is criminalized in British law, how will British authorities react when citizens repeat what has been known for years about these rape gangs? As far back as 2014, the Jay Report, an independent inquiry into child sexual exploitation in the British town of Rotherham, found that the rape gangs had victimized over 1,400 girls, and that the perpetrators were overwhelmingly Pakistani Muslims.

There is more. Read the rest here.

Politics in Europe > Britain's Labour about to shoot itself in the foot - Melanie Phillips

 

Britain's looming grooming gag

With public anger creating a tinderbox, the Starmer government is playing with fire

This is an expanded version of my column in today’s Times (UK £)

Are the grooming gangs the new Brexit?

An opinion poll has shown that if Britain’s Labour government brings in a definition of Islamophobia, as it is planning to do, the “populist” Reform party would gain a 106-seat majority at a general election.

The deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, has appointed a panel to draw up this definition to be applied across the public sector. The idea is that it would provide a benchmark by which speech and actions deemed to be “Islamophobic” could be policed and suppressed.

The poll of 2000 people, carried out by J L Partners, found that before voters were told about this proposal Reform polled at 29 per cent and Labour at 23 per cent, indicating a Reform majority of 20 at a general election.

However, when respondents were asked how they would vote if Labour brought in a definition of Islamophobia, Reform rose to 30 per cent and Labour fell to 20 per cent, indicating a Reform majority of 106.

As the polling company’s founder said, the Islamophobia definition would be like Labour “setting off a tinderbox under what remains of their working-class vote”.

Just as with Brexit, Labour and the chattering classes are quite clueless within their smug echo chamber about the profound and dangerous disconnect between them and large numbers of ordinary people over this.

And as with Brexit, the disconnected feel their country has been taken away from them by an elite class that tars them with accusations of racism and Islamophobia if they object.
