Contempt detonates Aussie-Arabic future

WITH uncanny timing, The Sydney Morning Herald has gone in to bat for Keysar Trad, long-time sidekick of Lakemba’s notorious Muslim cleric Sheik Taj Din al-Hilaly, as a Nigerian would-be suicide bomber was dragged from a US plane after unsuccessfully trying to blow it from the skies.
This is not to suggest that Trad or al-Hilaly were aware of the plot to bring down Northwest Airlines Amsterdam-Detroit flight, but rather that SMH writer David Marr overlooks salient points in his attempt to demonise 2GB broadcaster Alan Jones, who last week lost a minor defamation suit Trad brought against him and the station.
The Administrative Decisions Tribunal of NSW fined Jones and 2GB $10,000 and ordered them to frame an apology acceptable to Trad for remarks the broadcaster made in the lead-up to the Cronulla riots of 2005.
Marr does mention “appalling pronouncements” by Muslim cleric Sheik Faiz Mohamad in Bankstown in 2005, when he disgustingly declared that women who were raped had no one but themselves to blame, saying: “She displayed her beauty to the entire world. She degraded herself by being an object of sexual desire and thus becoming vulnerable to man, who looks at her for gratification of his sexual urge.”
Maybe the above video featuring the behaviour of these Lebanese youths, that Jones has been fined $10,000 for daring to object to, their “Multicultural” behaviour, should have been shown to the Labor Party’s Star Chamber.
He does not mention that Jones, broadcasting immediately prior to the Cronulla riots, was clearly aware of incidents at the beach where young Lebanese Muslim men made grossly offensive remarks to local girls and women, when he spoke. The tribunal seems to have ignored the same detail, finding that Jones’s talkback show “implied a partiality for a vigilante solution to the problem” and “could only be regarded as an incitement to listeners to hate and hold the Lebanese Muslim community and Lebanese males in serious contempt”.
In this, I believe the tribunal has taken a particularly narrow view of the evidence and ignored the big picture that actually unfolded on Cronulla beach, with little need of any incitement from Jones or anyone else.
Marr clearly revels in reviling Jones, whom he calls a “shock jock”. There also seems to be a strong streak of envy in his report, as he notes that the fine would amount to “a good deal less than a day’s pay” for the broadcaster.
As for the tribunal, it seems to run along much the same lines as the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board, where Trad’s lawyer Adam Houda once took the opportunity to ask me whether I was Jewish - in the hope, perhaps, that my response would help him understand why I oppose terrorism and suicide bombers who target civilians.
Trad’s victory comes in the wake of the convictions of a dozen people in Australia on terrorism charges. All of them, coincidentally, were Muslim.
Among them was former Qantas cabin cleaner Belal Saadallah Khazaal, who complied a 110-page book titled Provisions of the Rules of Jihad, published online in Arabic as a “practical guide to achieving martyrdom”.
It advised on how to make bombs, shoot down aircraft and assassinate world figures, “within the countries identified as enemies of Islam”, Justice Megan Latham said during sentencing in the NSW Supreme Court. His lawyer, Houda, has said his client, who claims the how-to-be-a-martyr book is really just a religious text, will appeal. Again, this is not to single out Muslims as the principal providers of terrorists internationally. It just happens this more recent of the world’s great religions seems more so than others to find more people who find words that inspire them to suicide in a manner that will inflict gross collateral damage.
Trad has said he wishes to donate the sum he will receive to a Muslim women’s charity. A noble idea, given honour maimings and killings seem to have lingered longer in the Islamic community than most others and many Muslim women in Western nations claim they feel pressured by some in their communities to adopt various items of religious garb or suffer the consequences.
In his haste to accept the tribunal’s view of Trad as a victim, Marr overlooks his contributions to Nida’ul Islam magazine a decade ago when he said Australians were “the criminal dregs of white society [who] colonised this country, and now they only take the select choice of other societies, and the descendants of these criminal dregs tell us they are better than us. And because we are not elitists, we tolerate them.
“Yet they want us to assimilate, perhaps they will only become satisfied when we each die our hair red, wear blue/green contact lenses, and operate a fish and chips shop, otherwise, we would not be truly assimilating, would we?”
Jokes aside, assimilation may not be a bad idea if our Muslim population wants to shake off the image of dole-bludging reinforced by a nearly 50 per cent unemployment rate in some Islamic areas of Western Sydney.
Since European settlement, Australia has peaceably absorbed diverse groups from almost every culture within a generation or so. The Muslim population is young and should be the source of great vitality.
Pandering by bodies such as this tribunal to those like Trad, who represent the stereotypes, hinders the ability of Muslims to contribute to the nation.
The Lefts alliance with Islamic Sociopaths Inc.is a world wide alliance, it is an alliance forged with the sharing of an equal hatred and commitment to destroy Judeo Christian Democracy’s.

Trad vHarbour Radio Pty Ltd 2009 NSWSC 750
"I'm satisfied that the plaintiff does hold views which can properly be described as racist.
"I'm also satisfied that he encourages others to hold those views. In particular he holds views derogatory of Jewish people.”
