Members of, and anyone who agrees with, Hizb ut-Tahrir should pack their bags and move to a country better suited to their ideologies rather than living in a country like Australia that gives them so much freedom because it is apparent those very freedoms they receive here are not suited to their ideology. #auspol #BSWNBPM -Speaking on Melbourne radio station 3AW on Thursday morning, Mr Abbott said he was impressed with the ABC hosts tenacity. Shes a feisty interviewer ... good on her for having a go and I think she spoke for our country last night, Mr Abbott said... ...Mr Abbott condemned Mr Doureihis performance as un-Australian and said the Lateline interview confirmed his concerns about Hizb ut-Tahrir. This is an organisation which is very careful to avoid advocating terrorism but which is always making excuses for terrorist organisations, he said. Hizb ut-Tahrir is an organisation with an ideology which justifies terrorism, and thats why I say its un-Australian, its also un-Islamic. 3AW host Neil Mitchell asked Mr Abbott whether Mr Doureihis performance would warrant punishment under proposed laws that would make it illegal to advocate terrorism. Mr Abbott then drew links to the unrelated case of News Corp columnist Andrew Bolt, who was found to have breached Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act for two columns he published in 2009. Well certainly if poor old Andrew Bolt is prosecuted for a mild, relatively mild piece ... if we are looking for objectionable speech, the kind of stuff were hearing from Hizb ut-Tahrir is infinitely more objectionable than anything youd ever hear from Andrew Bolt, Mr Abbott replied.- Read more: smh.au/federal-politics/political-news/tony-abbott-backs-lateline-host-emma-alberici-over-fiery-hizb-uttahrir-interview-20141009-113fxd.html#ixzz3FcIzV600
