Two weeks ago an Islamic school in the northern suburbs of Melbourne expelled three high school students for desecrating the Bible. The male students allegedly set fire to the Bible and then proceeded to urinated over it. This manifestation of Islamic intolerance, while entirely characteristic, is particularly brazen. Suppose that teenage boys from a Catholic school were to vilify the Quran. What would the reactions have been? Perhaps something akin to the bloody riots instigated by harmless Dutch literary debauchery. This story is made even more interesting by allegations made by the families of the expelled pupils that the Islamic school nurtured this type of behaviour. The parents suggested that teachers at the school routinely demonised non-Muslims and encouraged segregation by teaching radical Islamic doctrine. An investigation of the school yielded several sources of illicit radical Jihadist propaganda- books and Jihad-glorifying videos.
This incident is just another straw on the back of the Australian collective. Australians are very open, welcoming and tolerant people. But everyone has their limits.
