Reports of Islamophobia have increased by 1300 per cent. Yet according to Senator Sarah Henderson, there’s nothing to it.
“Kill the Mussies! Hey, baby-killers, you’re not welcome in this country. Get your f–––ing scumbag selves out of this joint and f––– off. You f–––ing pieces of s–––, get the f––– out of this country, you f–––ing scumbag c–––s. You don’t belong here and you’re dead. We are going to f–––ing get you, c–––s.”
“F–––ing Muslims are the worst people in the f–––ing world. They are garbage, they are absolute human garbage. Stop telling Australians that we want multiculturalism here. We do not. So, f––– off, and send all of you back to where you came from. Ok? You stupid, f–––ing idiots. Ignorant, uneducated idiots.”
In May, there was 39-fold increase in reports of Islamophobia on Australian University campuses alone. In November 2023, just one month into the war in Gaza, reports to the Islamophobia Register Australia had risen by 1300 per cent compared with the same period the year before. Henderson’s comments were revealing because they were so adamantly singular. Like Islamophobia, antisemitism in Australia is a documented, growing reality. So why was the Senator denying not just a rise in Islamophobia, but its very existence? Stating that even raising Islamophobia was implying a “false equivalence” with antisemitism is the revelation.Apparently, there is one true and serious bigotry warranting attention, and a pretend one.
