Wow, just reading that must have reduced my IQ by a couple points. The amount of facepalming it caused me to inflict on myself doesn't help either.

Haha lol. Please don't judge my beautiful country due to that. Except for Queensland.

Sam111, please don't get angry it's a joke please no noooooo nooooooooooooooooo

*sound of mauling animals in the background*

OW.

Now that that's finished, let's go through a section of the One Nation website

Call for an inquiry or Royal Commission to determine if Islam is a religion or political ideology
What?
Stop further Muslim Immigration and the intake of Muslim refugees until we can assure the safety of Australians.
Pretty Vague. Would fail NS world assembly standards, let alone national law. Actually, this is what's happening in the US... so...
Ban the Burqa and Niqab in public places
Is a ban necessary? I must admit, it is easier to feel safe without them, but a total ban is ridiculous.
Driver’s licence cannot be obtained without showing the full face and having photo ID on driver’s licence
Fair enough.
Surveillance cameras to be installed in all Mosques and schools. Mosques to be open to the public during all opening hours
Only if churches, synagogues, temples etc have them too.
No more mosques to be built until the inquiry is held
No.
Oppose the introduction of Sharia Law
I agree with this. Australian law is secular.
Investigate welfare payments paid to Muslims who may be in multiple marriages, having multiple children
Again, fair enough.
Ban Halal certification. Halal certified food not to be provided in prisons or the armed services. Companies may comply for export but no monies must be paid
Again, a ban isn't necessary. Also, this largely is nonsense. Halal is banned, makes sense, but then it can't be provided? Well, it's banned, what do you expect?
Call for a referendum to change Section 116 of the Australian Constitution
Keeps government secular, preserves freedom of religion. What is wrong with that?
Muslims will not be allowed to be sworn into Parliament under the Qur’an
Why should it matter? Australia is a secular country.
Female genital mutilation to carry lengthy jail term
Fair enough.

So, some fairly reasonable policies, some absolute racist garbage. All things considered, Turnbull isn't that bad.

I'd just like to remind you all that we are still the best state, and most of us are smart (DST isn't here yet)
I kinda agree with the Islam against democracy thing, every Muslim I've met (and there's been a lot) has been in some way against democracy. One thought a dictatorship would be best for everyone and actively opposes Christianity.

Stop further Muslim Immigration and the intake of Muslim refugees until we can assure the safety of Australians.
My partner told me to try to paraphrase with a similar route.

Stop further Male Immigration and the intake of Male refugees until we can assure the safety of Australians. (Feels stupid isn't it? Background checks, identity and increasing law enforcement is enough.

Ban the Burqa and Niqab in public places
The Burqa and the Niqab is one of the many ways for moslem women to cover themselves up as instructed in the quran, however, burqa and niqabs are practiced by some branches of islam, others would prefer just a hijab as long as their clothing is modest (as instructed by Muhammad SAW), therefore it is cultural and a ban won't be really harmful to the practice of Islam.

Driver’s licence cannot be obtained without showing the full face and having photo ID on driver’s licence
A must

Surveillance cameras to be installed in all Mosques and schools. Mosques to be open to the public during all opening hours
Only if churches, synagogues, temples etc have them too. [I agree]

No more mosques to be built until the inquiry is held
No

Oppose the introduction of Sharia Law
I agree with this. Australian law is secular. [Countries should not adapt to minorities, it should welcome them, but it should not change its foundations]

Investigate welfare payments paid to Muslims who may be in multiple marriages, having multiple children
Again, fair enough. [Why?]

Ban Halal certification. Halal certified food not to be provided in prisons or the armed services. Companies may comply for export but no monies must be paid
This is stupid. Do you even know what halal is?

Call for a referendum to change Section 116 of the Australian Constitution
Keeps government secular, preserves freedom of religion. What is wrong with that?

Muslims will not be allowed to be sworn into Parliament under the Qur’an
Why should it matter? Australia is a secular country.

Female genital mutilation to carry lengthy jail term
Fair enough. [Only when its against their will]

I've got an update for you guys. Seattle judge James Robart, who was appointed by George W. Bush and unanimously confirmed by the Senate, has temporarily halted Trump's travel ban. The 60,000 (according to the State Department) or 100,000 visas (according to the Justice Department) that were rescinded have now been reinstated. Customs and Border Protection has informed airlines that business shall be conducted "as if the executive order never existed." A reminder: this is temporary. It could be reversed at any time. However, there is hope that the ban may not be reinstated. If it goes to the Supreme Court, they will have the final say, but it is currently a 4–4 split since the Republicans in the Senate, who hold the majority, decided to take the unprecedented measure to block Obama's Supreme Court appointment, Merrick Garland.

Well I am muslim, I am sorry for the actions of those that leave a bad taste in your mouth, and I hope that my religion does not induce prejudice.

You shouldn't have to apologize. When the KKK kills black people, people aren't asking for an apology from white people. People should never have to apologize for the actions of someone they didn't know. Besides, people who hold prejudice against Muslims are ignorant. I may not be Muslim, but I have educated myself on certain verses of the Quran. Anti-Islam people often quote 9:5 and say, "This explains why Islam is not peaceful." I did my research and those people are buffoons. 8:61 and 9:4 (the verse that precedes the very verse that they quote) prove that Islam is a religion of peace and is capable of coexisting with Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.
