Talk:Islam in Australia

Needs work

[edit]

This article smacks of bias. The use of the term "right wing" (when many highly conservative Islamic scholars are themselves very socially conservative), gives the game away.

The article is quite underwhelming, it reads a bit like a high school project. I don't know enough about the topic but for those in the know, use Islam in France as a template. Htra0497 22:58, 30th January 2006 (AEST)

This information is incorrect

[edit]

Islam is not the second highest religion in Australia. Next time try using actual facts from the abs website instead of making up random bs. Loser 49.183.158.189 (talk) 23:24, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Islam is indeed the second biggest religion in Australia according the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Please read: https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/people-and-communities/cultural-diversity-census/2021
and navigate down to the table labelled as: "Data table for Census article - Religious affiliation in Australia".
Please refrain from poor behaviour, going forward. This is your first warning. Bro The Man (talk) 08:31, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to remove section: Views on Homosexuality

[edit]

All Abrahamic religions within australia have their fair share to be criticised about on the topic of homosexuality, in fact it is a universal topic of discussion. To keep the same tone as presented in the page Christianity in Australia, i propose the removal of this section as it serves nothing more than to be a lightening rod and generate negative sentiment and division; i.e. a score card to keep track of people to verify whether they are worthy of inclusion or humanity. If people want to find out about muslims and their beliefs on certain subjects such as homosexuality, their are other pages available such as LGBT people in Islam. Bro The Man (talk) 09:52, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is biased that abuses WP:NPOV. This is page is meant to be informative about the Muslim population of Australia and how Islam came to Australia and the population grew and instead it is being used as a platform to attack Muslims and highlight enough incidence of homophobia which has been attributed to Muslims the entire section should not exist on this page but an alternative page and what is written does not account for the full story nor does it account of muslim activists and allyship of the LGBT community. While those things are important topics and should be documented, they should be done so on another page regarding sexuality discourse in australia.

I've trimmed this material to remove the views of individuals. A problem with this article is that some of its text was added a few years ago by anti-Muslim bigots who had no interest in providing a mainstream account of the topic. This aspect of Islam in Australia seems noteworthy, but it would be better to have more accurate material here if you'd like to add it. Nick-D (talk) 11:23, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your help, I appreciate your consideration and action. I agree with you on all your remarks.
Regarding your invitation to populate that section, I would happily agree to do so on a separate page. It is noteworthy but I disagree with the notion that it's a defining highlight.
One thing that's undeniable is that Muslims will defend any and all people's right to life, without exception or prerequisite.
While both the pages of Christianity and Judaism in Australia do not highlight a section for this topic, and I think it's a double standard to do so for muslims. Muslims and their opinions on this topic are spread on a spectrum identical to Christianity and Judaism and every other faith system. As well as on the spectrum of age group generations.
It would be disingenuous to summarise that diversity or pay respect to it with a 300 word excerpt.
Thank you again for making that edit, it's a step forward to peace and harmony. Bro The Man (talk) 20:05, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
