People Like Us
No two civilisations have spoken so many words about each other in recent years as those of Islam and the West. And no two seem to have communicated less.People Like Us confronts the themes that define this chasm head-on: women, jihad, secularism, terrorism, Reformation and modernity. Its piercing examination of these subjects reveals our thoughtless and destructive tendency to assume that the world's problems could be solved if only everyone became more like us. The result is deep mutual ignorance and animosity, reinforced by both Muslim and Western commentators.As a Muslim born and raised in Australia, Waleed Aly stands at the intersection of these two civilisations. In this book, he draws on his knowledge of Western and Islamic intellectual traditions to present an analysis that is surprising and challenging, but always enlightening.
Bachar Houli
Bachar Houli is as accomplished an AFL footballer as they come. He’s been part of three Richmond Premiership sides, he was an All-Australian in 2019, and with over 200 games to his name he remains a key part of a champion team. Picked at number 42 in the 2006 National Draft by Essendon, Houli played 26 games for the Bombers before moving in late 2010 via the pre-season draft to Tigerland, where rookie coach Damien Hardwick was assembling the team that six years later would achieve the seemingly impossible and claim Richmond’s 11th Premiership. Another flag followed two years later, with Houli close to best on ground in both deciders. Yet it’s as the AFL’s most prominent Muslim player...
Working With Mean Girls
What do you do when the Queen Bee has you in her sights, demanding to know whey you haven't done the report she never asked for? What do you do when the colleague you thought was your friend takes all the credit for the project you worked on together? There are nasty, manipulative and destructive women in some workplaces who glide under the radar while the ruthless alpha males get all the bad press. Trouble is, it's hard to speak about catty behaviour when it's insidious or goes on behind your back. Yet you know something's wrong: you've stressed to the max and you hate the job you used to love. It feels personal. But the good news is that bitchiness at work is rarely about you. Beneath their powerful exteriors, mean girls are insecure, fearful and craving attention. They can't help themselves, but you can avoid their sting. Offering practical advice and using fascinating case studies, psychologist Meredith Fuller shows you how to recognise and manage difficult women at work. Don't let mean girls spoil your career or ruin your health learn how to protect yourself.
Quarterly Essay 37 What's Right?
Where did the Right go wrong? With the departure of George W. Bush and John Howard, conservative parties in the US and Australia entered a period of turmoil. Foreign affairs, economics, the environment – all were issues to be avoided. Most profoundly, conservatives no longer seemed to have a compelling vision of the future – and arguably still don’t. How did the Right end up in this state? How might conservatism renew itself? In this illuminating essay, Waleed Aly begins by unravelling the terms “Right” and “Left,” arguing that these have become meaningless. He contends that conservative parties have backed themselves into a corner by embracing free-market extremism, and that a...

Essays on Muslims & Multiculturalism
September 11 2001 marked a change inAustralian attitudes towards immigrants. The spotlight was on Muslims. This collection of thought-provoking essays looks at multiculturalism's successes and failures in providing a secure, well-integrated, free and fair Australia. Philosopher and writer Raimond Gaita has gathered some of Australia's leading writers in the field to examine an issue that goes to the heart of Australia's identity. Author and lawyer Waleed Aly examines the role that the media has played in anti-Islamic myth-making in popular Western culture. Writer and researcher Shakira Hussein looks at how Australia's immigration policy has changed the cultural landscape. Geoffrey Brahm Levey writes on multiculturalism and terror and Raimond Gaita on 'the war on terror'.
Ideological Jihad
IDEOLOGICAL JIHAD is written as an open letter to Waleed Aly in response to his book People Like Us: How arrogance is dividing Islam and the West. It gives insight into the jihad - or struggle - of competing ideas in our multicultural marketplace. This book is an accessible mixture of personal testimony and comparative theology in the very current public debate about this so-called 'clash of civilisations'. It primarily addresses the spiritual divide between the Christian tradition of the West and the Islamic tradition. This spiritual divide is seen as inseparable from the political divide. While highlighting the rising Islamisation of Australia and other Western nations, Ideological Jihad also responds to other issues raised by Aly including secularisation, women and jihad. It is the result of careful research and face to face conversations with Muslim friends, clerics and academics. Janson presents a crucial book for all those interested in the future of Western society. Vital reading.
