According to the lengthy Facebook post he published this morning, Hills had attended an Australia Day party at the High Commission’s digs in London earlier this year, and spent his time NOT necking VBs / listening to the Hottest 100, but learning about ISIS from government officials (this was shortly after the Charlie Hebdo attacks). He writes:
“I learned a lot of things that night, but the one that stood out was this: Islamic State need recruits and they have two steps to get them.“1) Create an uprising against Muslims in the West by carrying out attacks in the name of Allah.
“2) Then when young Muslims feel rejected by Western society, make ISIS look like a cool alternative.“Please remember, this was all expressed to me by officials of both the Australian and British Governments.
It seemed to me that a good way of combatting this would be 1) be nice to non-ISIS related Muslims (ie the vast majority of Muslims) and 2) make ISIS look like idiots.“I ran this past my friends at the High Commission, who agreed that this was indeed a good thing to do.
Now there aren’t a lot of things a one-legged comedian can do to combat a bunch of pricks like ISIS, but when experts in the field from your own government tell you what you can do – you damn well do it.”
In other words:
I’ve been called a lot of things in the past few days, many of them deserved. “Leftie wanker”. “Islam apologist”. “…
