Gene Simmons Tells Truth, Oz Muslims Seething
2004-05-14
KISS bass player Gene Simmons has caused an uproar among Australia’s Muslim community by launching an attack on Islamic culture while in Melbourne.
Of course, if Gene had said that Americans are all fat racists who want to steal all the oil because Pat Robertson tells them to, this Guardian-lite rag’s staff would be using their own tongues to kiss his arse.
The lizard-tongued rock god (an LGF minion?) who is touring Australia with the world’s most enduring glam rock band launched an attack on Muslim extremists during an interview on Melbourne’s 3AW radio - including comments which were labelled inaccurate.
and we all know that labels are always accurate...
"Extremism believes that it’s okay to strap bombs on to your children and send them to paradise and whatever else and to behead people," he said yesterday. The Israeli-born US musician went on to say Islam was a "vile culture" that treated women worse than dogs. Muslim women had to walk behind their men and were not allowed to be educated or own houses, he said. "Your dog, however, can walk side by side, your dog is allowed to have its own dog house... you can send your dog to school to learn tricks, sit, beg, do all that stuff - none of the women have that advantage."
Hey, Islamo women are allowed to beg!
He went on to say the west was under threat. "This is a vile culture and if you think for a second that it’s going to just live in the sands of God’s armpit you’ve got another thing coming," he said. "They want to come and live right where you live and they think that you’re evil." Simmons said the United Nations approach did not work and the west had to "speak softly and carry a big stick".
Maybe Gene could whip their asses with a custom-made popsicle stick.
The radio station today fielded calls from Muslims upset at the comments, including Australian Muslim of the year Susan Carland, who said Australian Muslims rejected extremism and did not fit Simmons’ stereotype.
"We do not generalize or use strawmen, none of us, that’s right!"
Ms Carland said she had two degrees, was doing her honours and "certainly do not walk behind my husband".
And her remarks also characterize the much more numerous women of Afghanistan, Iran, Satanic Arabia, etc.
Chairman of the Islamic Council of Victoria Yasser Soliman said Simmons’ comments were "very unfortunate". "He’s very famous obviously and popular and, as a result, influential," he said.
Projecting moonbat notions of authority and power.
"Mixing the entertainment world with the political and religious world is a minefield."
Hee hee. Nice for a lefty client to finally notice this. Now he should tell Streisand, Moore, Baldwin, Harrelson, Stone, et al.
He said Simmons had begun by talking about extremists but had gone on to vilify the entire Muslim culture.
"Started off talking about bin Laden but went on to villify all terror gangs"
"A number of his claims regarding women and what they are allowed to do and not do are wrong - Islam teaches the opposite," he said.
Red light and siren Goebbels alert.
Simmons had a right to free speech, but this had to be balanced against the damage done to innocent people, he said.
innocent like, say, Nick Berg or that Israeli women and her four little girls? Bite me, whiner-swine.
"I think it would be good for overseas speakers and commentators to be given some sort of advice in regards to our vilification laws here," he said.
Our anti-fascist commentators and speakers are like our guns, moonbat. Molon Labe!
"They leave and go back to where they arrived from, but they leave behind a big mess that we have to live with."
Unlike Islamofascists who create a big mess and stay to play in it.

#5  Hey, Islamo women are allowed to beg!

Not under the Taliban, they weren't. They'd get beaten for being in public without a male.

#4  "They want to come and live right where you live and they think that you’re evil."
Gene would have nailed the point completely if he would have added "and they want you dead"
