Is Islam actually a threat to Australian culture, or is that a manufactured story? In this OnePath explainer, we take the argument at its strongest, in a national newspaper column arguing Islamism and its incompatibility with the West, and pull it apart using its own logic. What actually holds a culture together, and who gets to decide when someone doesn’t belong to it? The question isn’t whether Islam can exist inside a culture. It’s why that question keeps getting asked. Please note, although the main Australian article uses the word “Islamism” given it invokes Islamic law, Muslim communities and Muslim countries throughout – it’s very clear that the article targets Muslims.
