We have had a Royal Commission into child sexual abuse, and now calls for a Royal Commission into Islam are gathering pace.
Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie has today added her name to a growing list of those calling for an inquiry into Islam. According to a report by the Daily Mail, Lambie compared radical Islam to paedophiles in the Catholic Church. A controversial graphic released by Senator Lambie stated:
“Australian Islam for years has had a big problem with hate preachers, radicalization and terrorism….Why can’t we discover the truth with a Royal Commission?”
Senator Lambie’s call for a Royal Commission into Islam comes after similar calls by Pauline Hanson, as well as the Australian Liberty Alliance’s calls for reform into halal certification and a halt to the spread of Sharia law in the community.
Concerns have been raised from numerous sections of the community regarding the political and expansionist elements of Islam, and debate about whether the traditions of Islam are fundamentally a religion or political ideology.
