John Stone and Queen Isabella, his heroine

Former Australian treasury secretary and National Party senator John Stone has written a very reactionary article, 'Some will not integrate', about the immigration of Muslims, and I have felt drawn to comment. So have a lot of other people, and the discussion is lively.

Mr Stone writes: "I am thinking of founding the Queen Isabella Society", referring to Isabella of Castile, the notoriously cruel ruler of Spain who, with her equally horrendous husband Ferdinand, created the Spanish Inquisition, ordered 150,000 Jewish subjects to convert to Christianity or face expulsion, and so on.

Queen Isabella is a heroine of the Neo-Nazi Stormfront organisation (see this discussion page) for "liberating" Spain from the Muslim Moriscos (one of history's bloodthirstiest chapters of two-way oppression and racism).
