Hoxton Park Residents vow to fight

Islamic school in court win, at Hoxton Park

AN 800-student Islamic school to be built in the middle of a housing estate has been given the final go-ahead as a raft of other rejected Islamic schools take their fight to the courts.

The new campus for one of NSW's top 10 schools, Malek Fahd Islamic, has been given a final nod to build in Sydney's southwest while at least three other Muslim schools struggle to set up amid thousands of objections.

Residents of Hoxton Park led a nine-month campaign of rallies, protests, petitions and letter-drops against the school but it was given approval by Liverpool Council on Monday night.

Residents believe another school will worsen daily commutes as narrow cul-de-sacs become major thoroughfares but Islamic groups fear there are racist undertones to the objections.

A 1200-strong Al Amanah College will be built in Bass Hill after it was twice knocked back by Bankstown Council - a decision later overturned by the Land and Environment Court.

And the 600 student Qaadiri school at Austral, which was knocked back by Liverpool Council, is due to go before the court this week.

Camden Council's rejection of the Quranic Society's 1200-student school at Camden was upheld last month.

Independent school development is slow, with only three in greater Sydney hitting planning tables each year.

NSW Association of Independent Schools executive director Geoff Newcombe said "traffic" had become code for "prejudice".

"It seems more than a coincidence that each time an Islamic school applies to set up, there are objections about traffic congestion," he said.

Most Islamic students go to public schools rather than try to squeeze in on a waiting list to one of only 14 Islamic institutions in Sydney. In the same area, there are 74 Anglican schools, 80 Christian, and 625 Catholic schools.

"There is a huge demand or we would not be doing this," said school spokesman Australian Federation of Islamic Councils president Ikebal Patel.

"It is better that we teach Muslim students in a controlled environment, with our vision vetted by the NSW Education Department, than have them educated in backyard garages."

Liverpool mayor Wendy Waller said roads would be widened to cope with extra traffic.

People smugglers take control of Australia's Refugee Program

The Hon Dr Sharman Stone MP
Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship
Mon, 29th June 2009

“More than 1,000 asylum seekers have now arrived in Australia since the Rudd Government softened our border protection policies last August,” Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Dr Sharman Stone said today.

“Along with the more than 1,000 intercepted by the Indonesian authorities on our behalf, this means that almost 20% of Australia’s refugee program is controlled by people smugglers.”

“Instead of taking measures to strengthen our borders, or even to “talk” tough, the Labor Government sent another message to people smugglers this week that the back door is still open. Legislation abolishing detention debt was passed by the ALP last week, yet it was a principle that should have been retained.

“The Rudd Government’s softening of a raft of measures designed by former Labor and Coalition Governments to shut down this vile trade is clearly being used by the people smugglers as evidence that Australia has given them the green light to recruit more and more customers; endangering more and more lives.

“These measures include the planned introduction of complementary protection visas, abolishing the 45-day rule, weakening the s.501 character provisions and the Minister’s intervention to approve 650 refugee visas refused by the Refugee Review Tribunal.

“The people smugglers clearly have a well oiled pipeline to Australia and they are taking control of Australia’s refugee program. The Rudd Labor Government is silent about who these people are; where they’ve come from; how many have been given permanent residency; what their connections are with Australia; how long they have been living in safe third countries; and the role of the Minister’s secret “expert panel” in reviewing the department’s decisions to refuse to grant these people visas.

“The need for an inquiry into the linkage between the softening of policy and the surge in arrivals, as called for by the Coalition, is long overdue and its time this Labor Government looked at the evidence and toughened up about people smugglers,” Dr Stone concluded.

In case you missed it: BRITAIN appears to be evolving into the first modern soft totalitarian state....

Thought police muscle up in Britain

Hal G. P. Colebatch
The Australian
April 21, 2009

BRITAIN appears to be evolving into the first modern soft totalitarian state. As a sometime teacher of political science and international law, I do not use the term totalitarian loosely.

There are no concentration camps or gulags but there are thought police with unprecedented powers to dictate ways of thinking and sniff out heresy, and there can be harsh punishments for dissent.

Nikolai Bukharin claimed one of the Bolshevik Revolution's principal tasks was "to alter people's actual psychology". Britain is not Bolshevik, but a campaign to alter people's psychology and create a new Homo britannicus is under way without even a fig leaf of disguise.

The Government is pushing ahead with legislation that will criminalise politically incorrect jokes, with a maximum punishment of up to seven years' prison.

The House of Lords tried to insert a free-speech amendment, but Justice Secretary Jack Straw knocked it out. It was Straw who previously called for a redefinition of Englishness and suggested the "global baggage of empire" was linked to soccer violence by "racist and xenophobic white males". He claimed the English "propensity for violence" was used to subjugate Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and that the English as a race were "potentially very aggressive".

In the past 10 years I have collected reports of many instances of draconian punishments, including the arrest and criminal prosecution of children, for thought-crimes and offences against political correctness.

Countryside Restoration Trust chairman and columnist Robin Page said at a rally against the Government's anti-hunting laws in Gloucestershire in 2002: "If you are a black vegetarian Muslim asylum-seeking one-legged lesbian lorry driver, I want the same rights as you." Page was arrested, and after four months he received a letter saying no charges would be pressed, but that: "If further evidence comes to our attention whereby your involvement is implicated, we will seek to initiate proceedings." It took him five years to clear his name.

Page was at least an adult. In September 2006, a 14-year-old schoolgirl, Codie Stott, asked a teacher if she could sit with another group to do a science project as all the girls with her spoke only Urdu. The teacher's first response, according to Stott, was to scream at her: "It's racist, you're going to get done by the police!" Upset and terrified, the schoolgirl went outside to calm down. The teacher called the police and a few days later, presumably after officialdom had thought the matter over, she was arrested and taken to a police station, where she was fingerprinted and photographed. According to her mother, she was placed in a bare cell for 3 1/2 hours. She was questioned on suspicion of committing a racial public order offence and then released without charge. The school was said to be investigating what further action to take, not against the teacher, but against Stott. Headmaster Anthony Edkins reportedly said: "An allegation of a serious nature was made concerning a racially motivated remark. We aim to ensure a caring and tolerant attitude towards pupils of all ethnic backgrounds and will not stand for racism in any form."

A 10-year-old child was arrested and brought before a judge, for having allegedly called an 11-year-old boya "Paki" and "bin Laden" during a playground argument at a primary school (the other boy had called him a skunk and a Teletubby). When it reached the court the case had cost taxpayers pound stg. 25,000. The accused was so distressed that he had stopped attending school. The judge, Jonathan Finestein, said: "Have we really got to the stage where we are prosecuting 10-year-old boys because of political correctness? There are major crimes out there and the police don't bother to prosecute. This is nonsense."

Finestein was fiercely attacked by teaching union leaders, as in those witch-hunt trials where any who spoke in defence of an accused or pointed to defects in the prosecution were immediately targeted as witches and candidates for burning.

Hate-crime police investigated Basil Brush, a puppet fox on children's television, who had made a joke about Gypsies. The BBC confessed that Brush had behaved inappropriately and assured police that the episode would be banned.

A bishop was warned by the police for not having done enough to "celebrate diversity", the enforcing of which is now apparently a police function. A Christian home for retired clergy and religious workers lost a grant because it would not reveal to official snoopers how many of the residents were homosexual. That they had never been asked was taken as evidence of homophobia.

Muslim parents who objected to young children being given books advocating same-sex marriage and adoption at one school last year had their wishes respected and the offending material withdrawn. This year, Muslim and Christian parents at another school objecting to the same material have not only had their objections ignored but have been threatened with prosecution if they withdraw their children.

There have been innumerable cases in recent months of people in schools, hospitals and other institutions losing their jobs because of various religious scruples, often, as in the East Germany of yore, not shouted fanatically from the rooftops but betrayed in private conversations and reported to authorities.

The crime of one nurse was to offer to pray for a patient, who did not complain but merely mentioned the matter to another nurse. A primary school receptionist, Jennie Cain, whose five-year-old daughter was told off for talking about Jesus in class, faces the sack for seeking support from her church. A private email from her to other members of the church asking for prayers fell into the hands of school authorities.

Permissiveness as well as draconianism can be deployed to destroy socially accepted norms and values. The Royal Navy, for instance, has installed a satanist chapel in a warship to accommodate the proclivities of a satanist crew member. "What would Nelson have said?" is a British newspaper cliche about navy scandals, but in this case seems a legitimate question. Satanist paraphernalia is also supplied to prison inmates who need it.

This campaign seems to come from unelected or quasi-governmental bodies controlling various institutions, which are more or less unanswerable to electors, more than it does directly from the Government, although the Government helps drive it and condones it in a fudged and deniable manner.

Any one of these incidents might be dismissed as an aberration, but taken together - and I have only mentioned a tiny sample; more are reported almost every day - they add up to a pretty clear picture.

UPDATE.

UK bill an attack on faith

Hal G.P. Colebatch
The Australian
June 30, 2009

I WROTE here in April that Britain appears to be evolving into the first modern soft totalitarian state, but it seems I didn't know the half of it.

A sinister new equality bill is before a parliamentary committee. So far there has been surprisingly little about it in the British media, although the Catholic Church has called attention to the fact it would give the government unprecedented powers to police not only public but private religious and other activities.

The Thomas More Legal Centre's director Neil Addison recently said that under this bill, "nearly every form of discrimination is banned, even for private associations and churches. Christian churches are to be banned from preferring Christians in their employment practices except in the employment of priests or religious teachers. They are not going to be able to insist that employees live in accordance with the ideals or principles of the church, and any employment or membership decision they take can be investigated by an unelected quango, the Equality and Human Rights Commission."

This is only the first stage. The Catholic bishops of England and Wales have warned that religious schools and care homes could be forced to remove crucifixes, holy pictures or other religious symbols or icons from their walls in case they offend atheist or non-Catholic cleaners. Under the terms of the bill, Catholic institutions could be guilty of harassment if they display images offensive to non-Catholics.

Ordinary laws already offer protection from harassment in the normal course of events. The draft bill defines harassment in the widest possible terms as "unwanted conduct ... with the purpose or effect of violating a person's dignity, or of creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading or offensive environment".
The bishops, after taking legal advice, say that because the burden of proof for such a highly subjective definition is reversed in legal proceedings under the terms of the bill, it would put them in an impossible position if people complained about any manifestation of religious belief, even on church property.

Andrew Summersgill, the general secretary of the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales, says: "The practical consequences of this are that a Catholic care home, for example, may have crucifixes and holy pictures on the walls (that) reflect and support the beliefs of the residents. A cleaner may be an atheist or of very different religious beliefs. Nonetheless, if a cleaner found the crucifixes offensive, there would be no defence in law against a charge of harassment."

It also would be illegal under the bill to refuse employment to such non-believers. Catholic schools could likewise be forced to remove crucifixes or holy pictures if atheist or non-Catholic dinner ladies found them offensive. Beyond decorations, symbols and icons, this may open the way for state interference in invisible and perhaps more profound matters of doctrine.

There is no test of reasonableness in the draft bill, such as is contained in the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. "It is tailor-made for people to come up with objections because it puts the emphasis on the person being offended rather than on an objective test of what ought to be considered reasonable," Addison says.

A proponent of the bill, Stephen Whittle of Press for Change, effectively agrees. He told the parliamentary committee examining the bill: "We would argue strongly that we experience discrimination because other people think that we look different. It is what those other people do, not what we do, that creates that discrimination. Therefore, the bill needs to refocus on what it is those other people see and react to."
The bill is largely the creation of the Labour Party's deputy leader and Equality Minister Harriet Harman, one of the party's most committed left-wing social engineering activists, who probably has as much clout in the government as anyone.

Although the bill was supposed to ensure protection for religious groups,
Harman neglected to mention this when she announced the proposals in the House of Commons last month. Recently she also refused to allow a debate on the rising numbers of religious believers complaining that they are discriminated against in the public sector. There has been a string of cases of people suspended or sacked for expressing their religious convictions, wearing religious symbols such as crucifixes or, in the case of one nurse, offering to pray or a patient.

London priest Tim Finigan says: "For the government to promote this agenda in extreme form at a time when the political system is suffering unparalleled contempt and the far-right groups have their best opportunity for years is stupid beyond belief."
While the potential for government interference with private religious activities is serious enough, the bill may go much further: as it stands it will, for example, also allow the government to control the membership criteria of political parties and movements, as well as private clubs and societies.

10,000 Illegals Massing in Malaysia preparing to invade Australia

Warning on wave of boat people

SMH
Tom Allard in Kuala Lumpur and Yuko Narushima
June 30, 2009

INDONESIAN authorities are bracing for a huge influx of boat people, anticipating as many as 10,000 asylum-seekers are waiting in Malaysia to transit through the archipelago and on to Australia.

This estimate was backed by a Malaysian group that deals with unauthorised immigrants. An Australian Government source warned of the potential for a similar influx to the thousands who began arriving in Australia from the late 1990s.

About 1500 asylum-seekers have arrived in Indonesia this year and registered for refugee status, almost all travelling by boat from Malaysia. Another 1500 are believed to have arrived and have not registered.

Indonesian police intelligence suggests between 7000 and 10,000 more people are waiting in Malaysia to make the journey once their passage is organised by people-smugglers.

"It could be 10,000," said senior commissioner Eko Danianto, head of the people smuggling unit at the Indonesian National Police.

"They comprise a mix of nationalities, not only Afghans. There are also Sri Lankan, Myanamerese (Burmese), Iraqis."

However an Australian academic, Dr Roslyn Richardson, of Charles Sturt University, has said asylum seekers know little about Australia before their arrival here.

Networks of people-smugglers service the 1 million Indonesian illegal workers who regularly travel to Malaysia by boat. The same networks also help arrange passage to Australia via Indonesia.

On Saturday, Malaysian authorities arrested 36 Afghans and six Pakistanis being smuggled to Australia via Indonesia. On Sunday, a boat carrying 194 asylum-seekers, mostly Sri Lankans, was intercepted near Christmas Island. Immigration sources said it was believed to have come from Malaysia. It was the biggest boatload of asylum-seekers to arrive in eight years.

"When they start getting big numbers through on a boat, they [people smugglers] get credibility and they get money. It becomes a virtuous cycle for them," said one Australian immigration enforcement official.

Australia and Indonesia have improved co-operation on people-smugglers and have disrupted more boats than the 16 that have reached Australia this year.

With Australian financial and technical support, Indonesia will announce tomorrow up to 12 police "strike teams" dedicated to combat human trafficking.

But a new wave of asylum-seekers from Malaysia will test that capability, which will take months to get running.

Aegile Fernandez, the co-ordinator of the Malaysian immigration support group Tenaganita, agreed with the assessment that up to 10,000 asylum-seekers were waiting in Malaysia. "There would be 10,000," she said. "I would put the blame on these agencies that have been promising Australia as the destination."

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has 49,000 registered refugees and asylum-seekers in Malaysia and estimated there are 45,000 unregistered illegal immigrants.

The Australian Government declined to comment, except to note the number of asylum-seekers was rising worldwide. However, one source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: "It could be 10,000. It could be 5000 or 20,000. We just don't know."

Dr Richardson said strong deterrent messages from Australia did not cut through.

"People smugglers do not pass on detailed policy information," she said yesterday. The asylum seekers knew little of Australia, let alone its immigration policies.

In her study, the reasons 27 refugees gave for coming to Australia centred on its comparative cheapness and accessibility.

The research contradicts Federal Opposition claims that policy changes last year led to a surge in boats.

A report out today by the Migration Institute of Australia found migration agents were perceived to be poorly trained and shonky by parliamentarians, refugee advocates, official and the courts.

Australian Socialist Prime Minister and Labor Leader Kevin "07" Rudd, has ensured that his and his party's and Marxist fundraisers and financiers,the Australian Council of Trade Unions,(ACTU) have opened another front in their "war against prosperity for Australians", by allowing the invasion of our northern shores predominantly by the members of the "Religion of Peace", and other third world colonialists.

Labor and their financiers the ACTU, see these invasion forces as crucial for their plans of a one party state for Australia, hoping that setting up colonies of Muslims and other third world colonialists in Labor Government funded and facilitated "Occupied Territories" will ensure the continued election of Marxist ACTU funded Labor International Socialist Governments at state and federal levels.

Like the Hussein Obama regime in the USA it appears that Rudd has been instructed to act quickly on implementing the International Socialist / UN / Green Manifesto, one way to rig elections , apart from "voting often" as the Labor Party says, is to flood the country with like minded colonialists,dedicated to the destruction of Australian Judeo / Christian society and culture.

Kevin 07, Le Kewan,Dear / Comrade / Leader for Life ? No wonder he has a standing invitation out there for Hugo Chavez to come to Australia.

Couple shot dead for eloping - police

From correspondents in Peshawar, Pakistan
News.com.au
June 29, 2009 07:40pm

RELATIVES of a Pakistani teenager who eloped and married without parental consent shot her dead in a raid on her new home which also killed her husband and in-laws, police said.
Dressed in police uniforms, dozens of relatives attacked the bridegroom's house in the district of Charsadda, in North West Frontier Province.

"The assailants took the bridegroom out while some of the attackers climbed the wall and entered the house. They killed the bride, the mother and sister of the bridegroom,'' said Charsadda district police official Saleem Jan.

"They beat them first and then shot them dead,'' he told AFP.

The groom's father was also killed, another police official told AFP from Sardheri village in
Charsadda.

The bride was aged 18 to 19 and the groom 29 to 30.

Police said the teenager, from the deeply conservative Mardan district next to Charsadda, had run away and recently married without telling her parents.

"Both the girl and man married some weeks ago,'' the bridegroom's uncle Misal Khan told reporters at the scene.

"The attackers were headed by the (paternal) uncle, cousin and maternal uncle of the girl. One of the attackers left his police uniform at the site. They also left one mobile phone in a pocket of the uniform,'' he added.

Police said the main suspects were two uncles and a cousin.

"We have registered a case against three relatives of the girl and their unknown accomplices,'' police official Saleem Jan tsaid.

Human rights groups have strongly condemned the practice of honour killings in Pakistan, which claim the lives of hundreds of women each year.

Amnesty International says many killings are unreported and in almost all cases the perpetrators, who are often close family members, go unpunished.

In 2005, Pakistan's then president Pervez Musharraf introduced the death penalty for honour killings.

Stop West Bank settlements, Julia Gillard urges

John Lyons, Middle East correspondent
The Australian
June 27, 2009

DEPUTY Prime Minister Julia Gillard yesterday backed the Obama administration's call for a freeze on settlement activity by Jewish settlers on the Palestinian West Bank.

She also restated Australia's long-standing commitment to "a two-state solution with secure borders" to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Speaking at a news conference in Ramallah on the West Bank with the Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority, Salam Fayyed, Ms Gillard said Australia supported a Palestinian state next to a secure Israel.

She backed the position of the Obama administration that Israel needed to freeze all new settlement activity as a prerequisite for lasting peace in the Middle East.

"The position of the Australian government has been quite clear," Ms Gillard said. "We have called for a freeze on settlement activity.

"Obviously President Obama has made a very significant speech, including making some very significant statements about settlement activity.

"We have talked today about these issues, and about the prospects for a further process for dialogue leading to a lasting peace."

Ms Gillard said Australia had expressed humanitarian concerns on behalf of the Palestinian people. She used the meeting to announce that Australia would be providing $10 million additional funding for assistance to the Palestinian Authority, particularly for health and education.

Ms Gillard said this aid "shows that we are concerned about the humanitarian situation of the Palestinian people. We do have concerns about humanitarian issues and we're acting on those concerns."

Asked what action should be taken if Israel did not halt settlements, she said: "I believe what President Obama is calling for and what the world is looking towards is to have a real dialogue that leads to progress.

"I think that there is a sense of urgency about that, and I think that sense of urgency was expressed by President Obama."

Asked whether Australia would accept the Hamas faction, which controls the Gaza Strip, having a role in any Palestinian government, she said: "Australia has made consistently clear that our view is that Hamas should accept the principles laid down by the (Middle East mediating) Quartet (the US, Russia, EU and UN) - in particular, and most significantly, it must renounce violence."

She said there was reason to believe there were people of good will on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict who wanted to see an acceleration of dialogue.

Ms Gillard has been in Israel for five days, during which time she has met the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman. Before visiting Ramallah, she visited the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem, a 10-minute drive from Jerusalem. Bethlehem is separated from Jerusalem by the separation barrier, or wall."

194 more "illegal immigrants" found entering Australian waters

Christmas Island can cope: Government

News.com.au
June 28, 2009 05:19pm

THE Federal Government has disputed suggestions its Christmas Island detention facility is nearly full as about 200 more asylum seekers head to the island.

The 194 asylum seekers are heading to the centre after the navy picked up the suspected illegal-entry vessel off Christmas Island today.

It is the 15th boatload of suspected asylum seekers intercepted in Australian waters this year and is believed to be the biggest group of arrivals since 2001.

Almost all the passengers are adult men, with two or three women on board but no children.
It is not known where the people have come from.

"Minister for Home Affairs, Brendan O'Connor, said the interception of the vessel showed border protection was working."

You bone head, O'Connor, you are supposed to send them back to whence they came,NOT invite them in, this is the fifteenth bloody boatload this year you dope.
Whilst your Dear Leader Kevin 07 continues full speed ahead in his war against prosperity, you and that arse clown immigration Minister,are ensuring that as many illegals as possible are able to walk in the door totally unhindered whenever they want.
Immigration Minister Chris Evans said facilities on Christmas Island - which can accommodate 1,200 in total - could adequately cater for the 479 asylum seekers currently on the island, as well as the new arrivals.

The detention centre alone holds 800 people.

"There are a number of facilities on Christmas Island to accommodate unauthorised boat arrivals including a secure detention centre and community housing," he said in a statement.

"Children and, where possible their families, are not held in immigration detention centres."

The opposition again raised concerns that the Rudd government's border protection policies may be encouraging more people to come to Australia by boat to seek asylum.

Opposition customs spokeswoman Sussan Ley reiterated her call for an independent inquiry into why more people were arriving.

"We've raised serious concerns in the opposition that it is softening of border protection policies,'' Ms Ley said.

"That is what all the messages are indicating strongly."

The Rudd government has taken a more humanitarian approach to border protection, softening mandatory detention rules and abolishing temporary visas for asylum seekers.

Ms Ley said facilities at Christmas Island were already "stretched to capacity''.

"Nearly 200 more people on board coming to Christmas Island is seriously going to stretch the resources and the capacity of the Christmas Island detention centre and the island generally," she said.

Ms Ley also said she was "extremely worried'' about safety, given the large number of people on board the vessel.

Minister for Home Affairs, Brendan O'Connor, said the interception of the vessel showed border protection was working.

"The Australian government is committed to strong border security arrangements and is determined to deal effectively and appropriately with people smugglers," Mr O'Connor said.

Iranian Revolutionaries?.... yeah right, same ole, same ole

Someones beautiful Daughter,a child of GOD,smitten by Satan's hounds.

I am sorry but I just have to say it..............and I know those wanting to "reach out " will be horrified .... but here goes.

I am sorry but I just have to say it..............

The brutality of Iranian regime is not going to go away with a change of President aka.Islamic Sociopath In Chief.

The problem with Iran is the same problem that exists in every other country where Islam is the guiding hand of its social, legal and religious structures and values, ISLAM.

The ISLAMIC GRUB these people are dieing for on the streets of Iran,is NO better than the ISLAMIC GRUB they are demanding,THEIR ISLAMIC GRUB replace.

These Iranians are not going to,all of a sudden,renounce Islam and all the vile manifestations that come from it, these Iranians are simply demanding that a different ISLAMIC THUG and DESPOT be given the keys to the Palace,and the bull whip to flog them whenever he feels the need to do so, the Iranians protesting are not about renouncing despotism,they simply want a turn at driving the Islamic Sociopaths Inc. Bus,they are simply demanding THEIR turn.

Good Muslims do this to each other without blinking, it's easy to see why they are able to do to infidels what they do daily.

It's NOT about FREEDOM (as we in the west know it) the reality for Iranians is, it's all about having THEIR Islamic despot in charge as opposed to continuing on with the incumbent Islamic despot, it's about getting kicked to death by the boot on the foot of the guy you like, as opposed to been kicked to death by the boot of the guy you don't like.... big deal, "Change you can believe in" "Hope" business as usual, Islamic Sociopaths Inc. marches on.

I agree with Hussein Obama's relative silence on this matter,albeit for different reasons.

Hussein is no doubt salivating over the power his Islamic Sociopath of choice has, and is, I am sure surrounded by advisors and community organizers mulling over ways he can get his pals in the US media to run some advertorials / infomercials on the justification of Hussein Obama's /Democrats "civilian army" / ACORN/ New Black Panther members bashing, shooting and killing Americans should he or they feel the need arises , for Hussein Obama or any Democrat to come down too hard on Irans incumbent # 1Islamic Sociopath, is like asking Cher's daughter to have vaginal sex with a "person" with a fully functioning penis, it aint possible and it aint never gonna happen.

I believe that "the west" should only condemn the human rights abuses,as Hussein Obama has done and nothing more, why?

Lets say that the present Iranian regime falls, is their anyone out there with half a brain that thinks the Iranians who take power and the Iranians who are protesting in the streets as I write, are all of a sudden going to engage in some sort of love fest with the west aka "the great Satan" ?

Gimme a break, these people HATE us,they HATE us because we are not like them, they HATE us because WE are NOT Muslims,they HATE us because we refuse to weare the YOKE of ISLAM and surrender our God given souls to the Syphylitic fever induced rantings of a Paedophile Pirate and slave trader called Mohammed, yes thats why they hate us.
They HATE us because our very existance is a daily reminder of the abject failure of every thing they believe in, we, by our very existance are the mirror they are forced, at least for some time of every day,to look into and see the pathetic parody of human existance that their "Religious" beliefs,the HATE FILLED THING they call allah,forces them to EXIST under.

I live in Australia,successive Australian Governments have allowed Muslim Iranians into our country because they knocked on our door boo hooing and told us they were oppressed and their lives were in danger blah blah blah, but like all GOOD Muslims,no sooner than they were granted residence here,they demanded the "furniture" be moved to accommodate the very stone age beliefs they claimed to want to escape from.

The PROBLEM is, Islamic Sociopaths Inc.and the befuddled fools that subscribe to its wicked evil manifesto.

I see on American TV, American born "Iranians" huh? walking the streets LA and NY demanding this and that happen and that the American government do this and that so as to make their "HOME" Iran,in the image of their liking,where have these arse clowns been the last 30 years? Go "Home" and fix Iran if it worries you so much, like I guess you have just been deciding what to pack all these years before you went back and righted all the wrongs of a society , culture and religious system you want imposed on the west.

I suggest that these American born "Iranians" go back to the place THEY call HOME and start fighting the good fight.... back HOME.

We have seen in Iraq and Afghanistan the futility of trying to help ANY people who follow the cult of Islam,they are beyond redemption,beyond help,they are simply not to be trusted and not ONE drop of American or "coalition of the willing's" blood be spilt for ANY Muslims any where in the world, least of all in Iran for Gods sake.

Islam IS what Islam DOES........WAKE UP America!!!!! It's the same Islamic horse with a different Jockey, Regardless of what Hussein Obama tells you there is no such thing as "Islam Light" or America friendly Islamic terrorists.

The present Iranian problems are nothing more than a pit full of wild boars fighting each other for supremacy,there will,at he end of the day be at least one Wild Boar left and it will still be a Wild Boar dedicated to the destruction of all things Un Islamic.

Yes I feel sadness for those killed,however I have to say to my self that given the chance, those killed bashed or imprisoned, would have no hesitation in doing to me and my loved ones what they are suffering and demanding an infidel like me save them from.

Islam IS what Islam DOES.... or does the Koran LIE?

Remember when, Iran 1982.

Stockholm Syndrome ... what is it with these women?

He had her jailed for adultery, now she's headed to Australia with him

A British woman jailed for adultery in Dubai has been freed and has flown to Australia with the husband who reported her.

Sally Antia, 44, was released from prison on Tuesday and travelled with husband Vincent Antia to Brisbane on holiday in a bid to salvage their marriage, a source told the Daily Mail.

"Although she is British and could have gone back to the UK, she decided to fly to Brisbane. She and Vincent were booked on the same plane," the source said.

The mother of two was sentenced to two months in prison followed by deportation after her husband told authorities she was having a relationship with Mark Hawkins, a construction worker from the UK.

Vincent Antia claimed he tried to withdraw his complaint the following day, but said the matter was out of his hands as the justice system pursued the case.

Sally Antia and Hawkins served six weeks of their sentences, with one month of that time spent in police cells awaiting trial.

While she pleaded guilty, Hawkins originally denied the charge and claimed that as a tourist he was ignorant of strict laws relating to sex outside marriage in the United Arab Emirates.

He was due to be released and deported on Wednesday.

Australia "Moderate" Muslims demand MONEY " for high-quality Islamic studies " in exchange for peace?

Kevin Rudd urged to tackle extremists

ISLAMIC scholars are urging a rethink on the fight against homegrown extremism as the Rudd government stands accused of failing to match its tough talk on counter-terrorism with action.

The Rudd government should urgently boost funding for high-quality Islamic studies courses, moderate Muslim community groups, and police liaison teams to counter home-grown extremism, a leading Australian Islamic expert says.
Dr Ameer Ali
Such measures offered the best hope of blunting the potential radicalisation of hundreds of Muslim students who come to Australia to study each year. They would have a hugely positive impact on Australian Muslims, said Ameer Ali, vice-president of the Regional Islamic Council of Southeast Asia and the Pacific.

Dr Ali's call follows a blunt warning by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute that the government had failed to match its tough talk on countering local extremism with the resources needed to deliver a solution.

Attorney-General Robert McClelland warned in March that a terrorist attack in Australia had "as much prospect of emanating from disgruntled and alienated Australian youth as it does from an overseas terrorist organisation". Government concerns about extremism were again raised by the Attorney-General's

Department in the May budget portfolio statement to "develop and progress" moves to reduce the risk of resort to violent extremism.

Despite the warnings, no new funding was provided to the Attorney-General's Department for programs to counter local extremism, ASPI's research programs director Anthony Bergin says in a new report.

"At this stage it's not clear what direction the Australian government's counter-extremism policy will take," he says. "It's unclear, for example, what the Attorney-General's Department's new body of counter-extremism work will look like or when it will commence. It's disappointing that the Attorney-General's Department was given no new funding to advance their counter-extremism work in this year's budget."

Australia's growing Muslim population numbers more than 300,000.

ASIO said in its latest annual report it was "aware of a significant number of Australians" who hold or have held extremist views, Dr Bergin said.

"Some of these Australians have shown a willingness to put these views into action - some have travelled overseas to train with terrorist groups or engage in jihad activities."

Mr McClelland said the government was committed to countering home-grown extremism and had looked to Britain and Singapore for possible models.

"Deradicalisation and rehabilitation strategies will necessarily be considered as part of this work," Mr McClelland told The Australian.

The Australian Federal Police had also developed a national community engagement strategy to "establish, maintain and enhance" relationships with the (Muslim) community," he added.

Speaking from Perth yesterday, Dr Ali, a Murdoch University academic and former chair of the Howard government's Muslim Community Reference Group, said university courses offering a "critical analysis" of Islamic studies should be used to counter home-grown extremism and act as a moderating influence on foreign students.

"These students are coming from a particular mindset.

"If we don't train these students to think critically they'll just continue to believe what they believe," he said.

"And we have to target the funding to train the trainers, the teachers at Muslim schools."

I have heard of "man made disaster makers and facilitators" but whats all this talk of Muslim extremists " whats all this about? "God" himself, has just spent the past six months reminding us all that Islam and it's followers are a "great civilizing force" and have played a "large part in the making of the USA" and "Islam is one of the worlds great Religions"

"God" said, just last week of Islam "..... As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam. It was Islam – at places like Al-Azhar University – that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe’s Renaissance and Enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing; our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.

I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America’s story. The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco. In signing the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796, our second President John Adams wrote, “The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims.” And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States. They have fought in our wars, served in government, stood for civil rights, started businesses, taught at our Universities, excelled in our sports arenas, won Nobel Prizes, built our tallest building, and lit the Olympic Torch. And when the first Muslim-American was recently elected to Congress, he took the oath to defend our Constitution using the same Holy Koran that one of our Founding Fathers – Thomas Jefferson – kept in his personal library.

So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed. That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t. And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear...."

So with all that "God " says Islam and its followers has going for them / it, the infidel nation of Australia, receives a demand by its Muslim colonialist and fifth column dissitents to PAY them to behave like civilized human beings .... or else ... or else what?

Backing resistance no crime: PM's man

Australians should be able to support the armed resistance against foreign forces in Iraq - including Australian soldiers - without being thrown in jail, a leading member of the Federal Government's Muslim advisory body said yesterday.

In remarks that set him on a collision course with the Federal Government's new anti-terrorism laws, the president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, Ameer Ali, said the laws went too far and it was time to "draw a line through them".

"If you speak in support of the resistance in Iraq, that must not be seen as promoting terrorism in this country," he told the Herald yesterday.

Dr Ali - a leading moderate who acted as spokesman for the group of Muslims picked by the Prime Minister, John Howard, for his Canberra summit - said he would discuss the issue with the Attorney-General, Philip Ruddock, next week.

"He's giving us a briefing and I will be making our views on this known to him," he said.

While it has long been a crime under sedition laws to finance or participate in military action against Australian troops, the new laws add another dimension.

As the laws were first proposed by Mr Howard on September 8, people face between three and seven years in prison if they "communicate inciting messages directed against other groups within our community, including against Australia's forces overseas and in support of Australia's enemies".

Mr Howard has said the laws will not stop people criticising the war or calling for the withdrawal of Australia's troops, but actually speaking in favour of the insurgency does appear to fall within the definition of the new offence.

Under the new laws, groups that "advocate terrorism" can be banned, and in-principle support for the Iraqi insurgency would possibly qualify for this.

The Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, has denounced the insurgents as terrorists, not least because they use techniques such as suicide and roadside bombings against civilians.

But hostility to the invasion of Iraq is widespread among Muslims, and some believe the insurgency is a legitimate response, arguing the US-led forces have also caused many thousands of civilian deaths.

A spokeswoman for Mr Ruddock said the incitement provisions would be drafted carefully and involve consultation with those with concerns about civil liberties.

Sydney's Occupied Territories Erupt, News crews bashed

A MAN has been arrested after a TV cameraman was hospitalised and a photographer was allegedly punched in the face in a vicious assault on Sydney media crews today.

Representatives from The Daily Telegraph, Channel 9, 10 and 7 were allegedly set upon in an unprovoked attack in the car park separating KFC and McDonalds in Five Dock shortly before 2am.
Two men, believed to be aged in their twenties, allegedly walked into the car park through a driveway and shouted obscenities, including racial taunts, before being asked to stop.

It was then they allegedly attacked, knocking Daily Telegraph photographer Bill Hearne to the ground with a punch to the mouth.

A third man allegedly jumped out of a car stopped at the McDonalds drive-through bay to join in the assault.

One of the cameramen was concussed after allegedly being hit in the face with a torch. He also sustained cuts and bruises to the face.

He was taken to Concord Hospital and will undergo scans this morning.

The assault lasted around five minutes, with officers from the Burwood Local Area Command as well as police from a nearby Highway Patrol quick to arrive on scene.

A man was arrested and taken to Burwood Police Station where he was charged with occasioning actual bodily harm, two counts of assault and one charge of affray.

Police are determining whether or not he will face court today, and will also be reviewing the CCTV footage of the incident.

There is more to this story, obviously Sydney's major TV and Newspaper staff don't by chance all end up in a car park at 2 am in the morning.
