Sydney's Muslim Insurgency Riots Aftermath: Spin Doctors and apologists still performing CPR on Multiculturalism.

Migrants must follow Australian values, says Frank Lowy

FRANK Lowy, the boat person who became a shopping centre billionaire, has called on migrants to honour the ''great unwritten deal'' to follow Australian values and leave behind ideologies of hate in return for a better life in their new country.

Mr Lowy, who as a 15-year-old fled the Nazis in Europe 65 years ago, said Australia's multiculturalism had been a triumph of tolerance but would always face challenges such as last weekend's riot in Sydney.

He warned the internet and social media were being manipulated by people ''who set out to provoke''.

Delivering the inaugural Australian Multicultural Council Lecture in Canberra, Mr Lowy who is now a businessman and philanthropist, also called for a ''more muscular approach'' to civics education to teach everyone Australia's values.

Mr Lowy said while it might be ''handy for a newcomer to know that Don Bradman was our greatest cricketer'' it would be far more useful to have a bedrock understanding of what it means to be a citizen.

''You are welcome; you are free to worship; you are free to honour your heritage; and, we will respect the differences between us,'' Mr Lowy said.

''And in return, you should agree to live by the standards and values of this society, the one you have chosen to be a part of.''

''And agree to conscientiously pass on these values to your children and ensure that they receive a broad and balanced education, untainted by the ideology of hate.''

He said multiculturalism had enriched Australia in sport, the arts, science, medicine and business and asked if anyone could imagine a modern Australia made up entirely of Anglo-Celtic stock. 

''We would be a warmer and somewhat larger version of the Falkland Islands - a kind of British colonial left-over not in the South Atlantic but in the South pacific,'' he said.

Mr Lowy said when he fled Europe he was on a boat built to hold 70 people that was carrying 700 and the conditions were unbelievably bad with not enough water, food or sanitation.

He said he did not want to stumble into the asylum seeker debate ''even though I was a boat person myself - in a different era and in a different place''.

He said government had a sacred duty to protect borders and honour humanitarian obligations and there were no easy ways to strike a balance to meet those twin obligations.

Speaking at the function, Prime Minister Julia Gillard said multiculturalism was ''the meeting place of rights and responsibilities''.

''The right to maintain one's customs, language and religion is a balanced by an equal responsibility to learn English, find work, respect our culture and heritage, and accept women as full equals,'' she said.

''Where there is non-negotiable respect for our foundational values of democracy and the rule of law, and any differences we hold are expressed peacefully. Where old hatreds are left behind, and we find shared identity on the common ground of mateship and the Aussie spirit of a fair go.''

The PM repeated her criticism of the weekend riot.

''What we saw in Sydney on the weekend wasn't multiculturalism but extremism.''
.... and this loon PM Gillard and her Government of misfits,Communists,Greens progressives,Australia Haters, jumped up union officials and loons, are importing into Australia, illegally and legally as many of these "extremists" as they can, day in, day out, in numbers never before seen in this country and at a cost of billions of dollars.

How dare this jumped up former communist party secretary,student activist and Union GetUp financed affirmative action appointee PM from Wales, lecture Australians on Australian values.
Multiculturalism is the Antithesis of a cohesive, prosperous, law abiding and peaceful society,the kind of society that Madame Gillard and her Comrades and like thinkers are hell bent on destroying at all and any cost.
Multiculturalism is their most effective weapon in destroying social cohesion within Australian society, Islam, Muslims are their favourite Mad Dog that they let off the leash every once in a while to inflict their special brand of urban terror upon those Australian's that Madame Gillard and her ALP Comrades and supporters hate and despise so much.

As for Frank Lowy,the owner of the Westfield shopping center empire,talking up the stinking dead carcas of Multiculturalism and the Australian Labor Party maybe he is Australia's George Soros.

Sydney's Occupied Territories: Four more Women arrested following Genital Mutilation of two girls

Four more women arrested over female genital mutilation in NSW

FOUR more women have today been arrested and charged in relation to the female genital mutilation of two young girls in NSW.

Detectives with the State Crime Command’s Sex Crimes Squad have been continuing investigations since charging a Sydney sheik, a retired nurse and the parents of the two sisters.

Detectives with Strike Force Longfield said today that they had been working closely with NSW Health and the Department of Family and Community Services.

Earlier today two women were arrested in Sydney and two women in the Wollongong area. They were each charged with prohibition of female genital mutilation.

Police will allege the four women, aged 39, 68, 73 and 77, were each present at one or both of the procedures, also known as female circumcision, performed on the two sisters when they were aged six and seven.

The women have been granted bail to face Parramatta Local Court on Wednesday 7 November 2012.

Investigations by Strike Force Longfield are ongoing, and police continue to appeal for anyone with information about female genital mutilation to come forward.
Sheik Shabbir Mohammedbhai Vaziri, 56, of the Dawoodi Bohra community at Auburn, and Helen Magennis, 68, a retired nurse of Campbelltown, and the children's parents were all previously charged in relation to the alleged acts on the girls.

The girls remain in the care of their parents.

Limit Muslim migration, Australia warned

LIFE can become untenable when the Muslim population of a non-Muslim country reaches about 10 per cent, as shown by France, a Jewish expert on Islam says.

The Australian Jewish News yesterday quoted Raphael Israeli as saying Australia should cap Muslim immigration or risk being swamped by Indonesians.

Professor Israeli told the Herald that was a misunderstanding. But he said: "When the Muslim population gets to a critical mass you have problems. 

That is a general rule, so if it applies everywhere it applies in Australia."

Professor Israeli, an expert on Islamic history from Hebrew University in Jerusalem, has been brought to Australia by the Shalom Institute of the 

University of NSW. The Australia-Israel Jewish Affairs Council is co-hosting many of his activities.

He said Muslim immigrants had a reputation for manipulating the values of Western countries, taking advantage of their hospitality and tolerance.

"Greeks or Italians or Jews don't use violence. There is no Italian or Jewish Hilaly [a reference to the controversial cleric Sheik Taj el-Din al Hilaly of Lakemba mosque]. Why?"

Professor Israeli said that when the Muslim population increased, so did the risk of violence.

"Where there are large Muslim populations who are prepared to use violence you are in trouble. If there is only 1 or 2 per cent they don't dare to do it - they don't have the backing of big communities. They know they are drowned in the environment of non-Muslims and are better behaved."

In Australia, Muslims account for about 1.5 per cent of the population.

Professor Israeli said that in France, which has the highest proportion of Muslims in Europe at about 10 per cent, it was already too late. There were regions even the police were scared to enter, and militant Muslims were changing the country's political, economic and cultural fabric, and demanding anti-Semitic and anti-Israel policies.

"French people say they are strangers in their own country. This is a point of no return.

"If you are on a collision course, what can you do? You can't put them all in prison, and anyway they are not all violent. You can't send them all back. You are really in trouble. It's irreversible."

Professor Israeli said that in Australia a few imams had preached violence. "You should not let fundamentalist imams come here. Screen them 1000 times before they are admitted, and after they are admitted screen what they say in the mosque."

He said some Muslims wanted to impose sharia (Islamic law) in their adopted countries, and when propaganda did not work they turned to intimidation.

Professor Israeli said his task was to describe, not prescribe. He also said his warning did not include immigrants, including Muslims, who simply wanted to improve their lot. As long as they respected the law and democracy, their numbers — Buddhist, Muslim or Jew — were immaterial. It became material when a group accepted violence.

"The trains in London and Madrid were not blown up by Christians or Buddhists but by Muslims, so it is them we have to beware," he said.

Keysar Trad, of the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia, said "Not only religious clerics need to be screened before entering Ausralia but also academics … this type of academic does nothing but create hatred, suspicion and division … We should review not only what the man has said but also those who have sponsored him, to see if they endorse those comments."

Green Loon says Geert Wilders not welcome in Australia

Controversial Dutch MP's visa bid stalls

Supporters of controversial anti-Islam campaigner Geert Wilders fear he may be refused entry to Australia ahead of his planned speaking tour next month.

The right-wing Dutch MP has applied for a visa to come and give speeches in Sydney and Melbourne, but the application has stalled.

In a climate of tension after the weekend's Muslim protest in Sydney, the issue presents a tricky dilemma for the Federal Government.

Mr Wilders has a reputation the world over as a fierce opponent of Islam.

He has compared the Koran to Hitler's Mein Kampf, called Islam an ideology not a religion, and called the Prophet Mohammed a paedophile among other insults.

"Mohammed was a warlord, he was a terrorist and maybe a terrorist worse than Bin Laden ever was at the time, look at what he did in his time in the past, in his Medina time - this is not the example to follow," he told Foreign Correspondent last year.

His speaking tour of Australia has been organised by an obscure anti-Islamic group called the Q Society, which takes a similar hard line.

Spokesman Andrew Horwood says the group are "ordinary Australians who are concerned about the march of Islam into this country".

"We are non-political, we are a secular organisation, and we've seen what's happened in Europe and we're concerned about that," he said.

"Our charter is to educate the Australian population about what Australia will be like in 20 or 30 years' time with Islam if we choose not to understand it."

Visa delayed
Mr Wilders applied for a visa three weeks ago.

His staff and security were approved within days, but he is still waiting and his sponsors want to know why.

"We find it very strange that a visa is taking so long to come from a politician of a respected democracy," Mr Horwood said.

He's coming here to give the advantage of his knowledge, the advantage of what's happening in Europe, and I cannot see why it's not an automatic thing: 'yes, you're welcome here.'

Q Society spokesman Andrew Horwood
"It should be an automatic thing. He's coming here to give the advantage of his knowledge, the advantage of what's happening in Europe, and I cannot see why it's not an automatic thing: 'yes, you're welcome here'.

"I cannot understand why everything has just ground to a halt."

The reason is that the Dutch politician is on the Movement Alert List, a database of people of concern to Australia. 

It means his application is held up at the Department of Immigration headquarters in Canberra while more thorough checks are done.

He is on the list because of his previous brushes with authorities abroad.

In 2009 he was refused entry to the UK but later appealed and won.

He was also tried and acquitted in the Netherlands on hate charges over his controversial public comments.

It is not clear if he will be granted a visa.

Tricky call
Greens Senator Richard Di Natale says Mr Wilders is not welcome in Australia.

"We don't want to see Geert Wilders in this country. His views are not welcome here," he said.

"My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, as the world gathers against the believers in Syria ... seeking to hijack our sincere and blessed uprisings, children in Sydney would like to send their message of hope and support to the Muslims of (Syria), especially to the children and mothers," Ruqaya said in her speech.

"These uprisings have demonstrated that this umma (global Muslim community) is alive and well, her love is for jihad, she is unshackled herself from the fear which she held, and she yearns to once again live under the banner of (the Islamic state).

"Children as young as myself can be seen on the streets joining the uprisings, risking their lives to bring food, water and medicine to their wounded family members, some of them never returning to their mothers ... Nobody is too young," she said.

 "This country's got a great story when it comes to multiculturalism, it's part of my own personal story, it's something we should all be proud of and here we've got a man who is the antithesis of multiculturalism."

Greens Senator Richard Di Natale 

The final tricky call could ultimately fall to Immigration Minister Chris Bowen.

Mr Bowen says no decision has been made and he has received no advice yet from the department.

Opponents of Mr Wilders do not want him here, but they fear rejecting the visa application is a bad idea.

"We don't think that he should come. The question of whether he should be granted a visa is a separate one," Senator Di Natale said.

We don't think that he should come, the question of whether he should be granted a visa is a separate one.

Greens Senator Richard di Natale
"I think that by denying Geert Wilders a visa, there is the potential to give his cause more oxygen.

"We don't want to do that."

After the weekend's Muslim protest in Sydney, the planned visit to Australia may well add to the tension.

The decision for the minister comes after he approved a visa for Taji Mustafa, the British head of Islamist group Hizb Ut-Tahrir.

Mr Mustafa, though, is not on the Movement Alert List.

"I inquired as to whether Mr Mustafa had any relevant criminal convictions, he did not," Mr Bowen told Parliament this week.

"I inquired as to whether he is a member of a proscribed organisation, he is not. I took all the relevant steps required methodically."

When the Wilders trip was first flagged a year ago, the MP mentioned the help of South Australian Liberal senator Cory Bernardi.

But Senator Bernardi has told 7.30 he has had no involvement in organising the visit.
