Former Muslim and BNI favorite, Raheem Kassan, who says he “can’t stand Islam,” is due to take to the stage to speak at a conservative conference in Sydney next weekend, but the controversial views he wishes to talk about have already sent shockwaves through Australia.
Our politicians have torn shreds off each other in and out of parliament this week after Shadow Home Affairs Minister Kristine Keneally demanded a block on Raheem Kassam’s visa.
Some of the 33-year-old British political activist’s questionable opinions have also drawn criticism from both sides of the house, with finance minister Mathias Cormann blasting an infamous barb at Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon as “disgraceful, highly objectionable and completely outrageous”.
In that particular attack, Mr Kassam suggested on Twitter that Ms Sturgeon’s “mouth and legs should be taped shut so she can’t reproduce” — shortly after she had a miscarriage.
On other occasions, he’s called the Koran “fundamentally evil”, blasted Islam as a “fascistic and totalitarian ideology” and asked his followers whether a prominent UK Labour politician was in the “special needs class” in school.
Formerly the editor-in-chief of Breitbart-London, Kassam was born a Muslim and his parents are Tanzanian immigrants. However, he became inspired by the late socialist writer Christopher Hitchens’ rejection of religious faith and is now an atheist.
Mr Kassam also found admiration for conservative political giants like Margaret Thatcher and became involved in conservative student movements. Later in life, he became a senior adviser to one of the architects of Brexit and tweed jacket fan Nigel Farage during the 2015 general election.
Labor leader Anthony Albanese piled more criticism on the British firebrand today, labelling his comments “misogynist and disgusting” and urging the immigration minister to cancel his visa.
The debate even caught the eye of Donald Trump’s son, who accused the ALP earlier this week of trying to silence conservative views. “The insanity needs to stop!”, he tweeted.

Over here in Perth, Langford, Thornlie, Maddington (AKA Stabbington) Cannington, Balcatta, Lockridge, Nollamara, and a host of other suburbs lie similarly retarded and infested.
aussienewsviews says
No Australia does not want to ban Raheem Kassan only the Muslims and their Political Party of choice the Labor-Green LOONS who are the present opposition party.
This US Export to Australia is one of the loudest opponents, seeking favour with her party’s preferred constituency Muslims and Australia Haters.

Though inviting hate filled muslim speakers into Australia is more than welcome because thats what diversity is all about … mate…

Oh just after the last election when Shorten was replaced by Anthony Albanese as leader of the Labour Party someone rang the radio station 3AW and advised that Albanese means he is of Albanian origin. They seem to have become Italianised but still have Albanian DNA.
Steve says
Albanese is a 200 proof dickhead, with a face that is a viable template for baboon arses, but his ethnicity should not really come into it, especially when is more than adept at making a fool of himself and his declining party, not to mention the feeble minded sheep who follow them.
At the very least Albo is a European, hailing from one of the Eastern countries that are actively pushing back against and deny Islamic infestation.
One hopes he will realise this and change his tune, for the better of this country.

BNI, I received an invitation from IPA Institute of Public Affairs of which I am a member to attend the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) in my City of Birth Sydney for 9,10, 11 August… promoting “Three Days of Freedom” offering me 50% off because I am a member.
Unfortunately due to my health, I do my sixth Chemotherapy on Tuesday 13th August 700 K’s north of Sydney, hence I am unable to attend this exciting event.
One thing I noticed it is the first time since the 1943 creation of the IPA that always fights for ‘Freedom Values’ that it has crossed the line supporting anti-Islam speakers.
Though I am concerned that both Tony Abbott & Scott Morrison are Christians that correctly opposed the invasion of the boat people. But then refused to rescind anti-freedom of speech 18c laws, which is a watered down version of ‘Blasphemy Law’.
It has been claimed by my enemy ‘GetUp’ that Morrison is planning to present to Federal Parliament in Canberra ACT a ‘Religious Discrimination’ Bill. That idea worries me. As you know I reject all ‘Blasphemy Laws’ and all anti-freedom of speech laws around the globe.
Even the IPA opposes 18C, which already covers Religious Discrimination thus protecting criticism of Islam for which Aussies can be sued, including Christians.
Christianity is committing suicide by enforcing ‘Blasphemy Law’ or any other form of anti-freedom of speech law. Many years ago a Christian Minister was sued for a million dollars for delivering a sermon against Islam in a church in Victoria. Never mind that Imams speak against us all in Mosques, they are not sued under 18C.
I publish my books in America because I cannot trust our politicians and the insidious character of 18C.
I wrote about this in COMPENDIUM I “The 1975 Racial Discrimination Act” & Let’s Put 18C to the test…

Down Under Observer says
Despite a Las Vegas-born Australian politician who identifies as a female trying to stop him, he has made it in. She/he hates free speech, evidently, but was unsuccessful. Diversity of opinion is encouraged, as long as it’s of her/his liking.
BareNakedIslam says
Good, glad to hear that.
sara says
Thanks I keep thinking she is Canadian. Why didn’t she stay in the US? She’s a pain in the arse here. The only good thing is she seems to be stupid as she says stupid things every time she opens her mouth.

Quran (8:39) – “And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion is all for Allah”
The Labour Party must re-name their party — The ANTI FREEDOM PARTY.
Champagne Socialists Vilify, HATE and attack heroes who have the courage to put their lives on the line and speak the TERRIFYING truth about Islam.
The devout followers of pedophile Warlord Mohammad’s MILITARY-POLITICAL CONQUEST Cult of Islam, seek to conquer and ENSLAVE all non Muslims under BARBARIC SHARIA. And openly declare it.
Australia’s government must not be Despicable COWARDS and BETRAY Australians and bow down low to Warlord Mohammad’s CRUEL god and meekly submit to MERCILESS Conquering Islam.
Apathy Rules the World says
It’s not all of Australia that want to ban him. Just the usual minority of white self-loathing muslim loving suspects.
