Australia: One Nation leader Pauline Hanson vows to shut prayer halls that preach hatred

australianjewishnews.com · October 9, 2026

CSPII Commentary: Restricting Islamic preaching to the 49% of Islamic doctrine that does not promote hostility toward non-Muslims amounts to a policy of selective silence rather than confronting the remaining 51%. Suppressing its public expression does not eliminate its influence or prevent followers from accessing it elsewhere.

EU Eueopean People's Party "Make sure Europe doesn’t fund Islamists"

eppgroup.eu · October 8, 2026

CSPII Commentary: The European Union's largest party calls to define individuals and organizations linked to the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist entities, but mentions a false distinction between "Islam as a faith and political Islam as an ideology". The distinction is false because the political ideology is found in the Koran, Hadith and Sira, and Koran 2:208, 2:85, 4:150-151 and others, instructs to not pick-and-choose which parts to believe in, and Koran 3:7 forbids seeking convenient interpretations.
