The Q Society of Australia
is both vessel and umbrella for a group of
dedicated individuals, either formal members
or supporters. The Society is incorporated as
not-for-profit association in Victoria, but
members and supporters hail from all over the
Australian Nation. While we come from many
ethnic backgrounds and follow different
religions, we are first and foremost
unhyphenated Australians. Australians, who
believe in the equality of men and women, a
fair go for everyone and a civil and
democratic society based on classical
European foundations.
The American scholar and author
Robert Spencer is international patron
of Q Society. Many views Robert expresses
in his writings, books and speeches on the topic of Islam and Islamisation are reflected
by our members and supporters.
Our members insist the
bedrock of this society must remain
Judaeo-Christian in ethics and values on
which our mainly Western European
forefathers have built the Australian Nation.
We acknowledge the indigenous people of this
continent and surrounding islands and
appreciate their long relationship with this
land. A unique island continent we now all
share as Australians under one law and one flag. We equally
acknowledge and appreciate the valuable contribution from
those who came from non-European countries to
respect, embrace and share Australian
values.
Q emphasises
all Australians must be free and equal before
the law. Therefore we object not only to
racial or gender discrimination, but also to favouritism based
on ethnicity, gender or cultural/religious
identification. Everyone is entitled to
peacefully and lawfully practice any religion
or spiritual belief, chosen of free will.
However, we draw a line when a religious
and/or socio-political dogma seeks to
discriminate and impose rituals and customs
upon others; when followers of an ideology
perceive their own laws and customs to be
superior to the Constitution of Australia and
above the laws of the land; and when such
followers demand apartheid and special
dispensation incompatible with our
democratic, free and egalitarian Australian
Nation.
Consequently, we believe the further
Islamisation of our Nation must first be
stopped, and then reversed. Aggressive or
stealth proselyting and brazen imposition by
Islamic organisations and Islamic religious
fanatics were our 'call to arms'. In
upholding and defending Australian values, we
use reasoned words and ideas, as well as
political and democratic
processes.
We will never resort to
violence, the threat of violence, or the use
of lies, profanity and insults. We offer our
hand to anyone who peacefully and lawfully
follows a religion as a matter of free
choice, without imposing on his fellow
Australians, or demanding special favours or
seeking an elevated position in our
community. As we likewise respect and welcome
those who prefer to not adhere to religious
belief at
all.
In opposing
the Islamisation of Australia; we stand
against the creeping infiltration of this
socio-political dogma and its medieval
concept of religious absolutism and a society
controlled by despotic clergy; against suppression
of freedom of expression, against a
tainted world-view that embraces segregated
communities, discrimination and apartheid
based on gender and belief; against the model
of a parallel judiciary based on barbaric
Islamic 'justice' and Sharia
'law', against large-scale inhumane
slaughtering
and animal-cruelty to comply with Islamic
Halal rituals.
Let us be very clear: Islam is not an
ethnicity and Muslims are not members of
'the Islamic race'. Muslims come from
all races and ethnicities. Identifying as
Muslim in Australia and other free countries
is a personal, arbitrary choice. Opposing
Islam is no more racist, bigoted and
xenophobic than it would be racist, bigoted
and xenophobic to oppose radical Communism,
violent Fascism, or the medieval state church
burning unbelievers on
stakes.
In opposing the
impositions of Islam, we equally oppose those
who have been groomed to enable the spread of
Islam in Australia by means of nihilistic
multiculturalism, moral relativism and
suffocating political
correctness.
Unlimited
tolerance must lead to the disappearance of
tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance
even to those who are intolerant, if we are
not prepared to defend a tolerant society
against the onslaught of the intolerant, then
the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance
with them. We should
therefore claim, in the name of tolerance,
the right not to tolerate the
intolerant. - Karl Popper
(1945)
