Treatment of Bankstown nurses labelled as "double standards" by Senator

ED: My view

The comments and actions of Senator Fatima Payman are deeply concerning and highlight the dangerous reality of Islamist extremism infiltrating Australian politics. By sympathising with jihadist nurses who openly threatened to murder Jewish patients, she has demonstrated a shocking disregard for Australian values of tolerance, equality, and the rule of law. This is not just an issue of “public humiliation” but of outright incitement to violence, which has no place in our society. Attempting to shift blame onto so-called “Islamophobia” while downplaying Islamist threats of murder is not only disgraceful but also proves that even so-called moderates within this ideology will defend the indefensible. This moment exposes the deep fractures in Australian multiculturalism, as radical voices are given platforms to normalise extremism. There can be no place in Australia for those who enable or justify jihadist violence.
