Warning to all Muslims the world over seeking asylum and protection from the manifestations of their faith.
Do not under any circumstances come to Australia, for we are a Nation founded upon Judeo Christian Law and principles and as such Australia is an anathema to any follower of the Paedophile Slave Trader Mohammad's cult of Islam.
There is no ideology more hated and despised in Australia than Islam.You simply would not like it here.

"The chief weapon in the quiver of all Islamist expansionist movements, is the absolute necessity to keep victims largely unaware of the actual theology plotting their demise. To complete this deception, a large body of ‘moderates’ continue to spew such ridiculous claims as “Islam means Peace” thereby keeping non-Muslims from actually reading the Qur’an, the Sira, the Hadith, or actually looking into the past 1400 years of history. Islamists also deny or dismiss the concept of ‘abrogation’, which is the universal intra-Islamic method of replacing slightly more tolerable aspects of the religion in favor of more violent demands for Muslims to slay and subdue infidels"
PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd has performed the first backflip of his $50 billion national health reform, conceding he may have to change it to save small and rural hospitals.
The decision means that Mr Rudd has guaranteed the future of 118 NSW hospitals that The Daily Telegraph revealed last month would struggle to survive under his reforms.
It is also an admission by Mr Rudd that his casemix formula, which funds hospitals for the services they perform, may not work for everyone.
During yesterday's televised debate with Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, the Prime Minister conceded, under pressure from the states, that the activity-based funding model would not be suitable for smaller, mostly rural, hospitals.
Instead, Mr Rudd revealed for the first time that he would now consider block-funded grants for smaller hospitals - the way they are already funded by most States.
The Daily Telegraph has learned that in NSW alone the Federal Government could face a potential bill of $800 million to $1 billion to fund the gap between an activity-based funding and the real cost of maintaining smaller hospitals with fewer than 50 beds.
"What we would propose under our activity-based funding formula, which I thought was actually a formula backed by the Opposition - I might have got that wrong - is that it would take into account all the local costs in rural areas and the rest to make sure it works," he said in the debate.
"But if that doesn't (work) then of course we'd look at a form of national block funding, which was able to underpin the continuation of smaller rural hospitals in the future. They have a vital part in the future delivery of health services to Australians." Australian Medical Association president Dr Andrew Pesce confirmed it was the first he had heard of the change of policy.
But he said the AMA had been warning the Prime Minister of concerns about activity-based funding, also known as casemix funding, since the policy's release.
"Even with the weightings and extra loadings to allow for casemix funding . . . they tried it in Victoria and South Australia and it didn't work," Dr Pesce said.
"I don't know what they have been saying behind the scenes but I don't believe they didn't know about this.
"It was clear that they had to announce alternative funding to regional hospitals. It is of great reassurance to us."
Opposition leader Tony Abbott said that Mr Rudd's health reform policy was being made up as he went along.
"He has performed a complete somersault. He now concedes that casemix funding won't work without massive adjustments for smaller country hospitals. If he had thought it through in the first place he would not have fallen into this trap," he said.
Labor senator Kate Lundy, Greens communications spokesman Scott Ludlam and a host of privacy advocates and child groups say they prefer an opt-in version of the filter.
Google was one of 174 submissions received by the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, which had called for public feedback on transparency and accountability measures for the refused-classification list.
Google took the opportunity to comment on the broader proposal for mandatory filtering, saying parents would rather see more effort into cyber safety education than censorship.
"In considering the government's plans for mandatory ISP level filtering we have listened to many views, but most importantly those of our users," its 24-page submission says.
"We have talked directly with parents around Australia about their views on ISP level filtering. The strong view from parents was that the government's proposal goes too far and would take away their freedom of choice around what information they and their children can access.
"The importance of a better effort to educate parents and children about online safety was repeatedly highlighted as the area where most effort should be focused."
The filtering scheme, championed by Communications Minister Stephen Conroy, is mainly aimed at blocking child pornography web pages but Google argues that the RC category is too wide.
"RC is a broad category of content that includes not just child sexual abuse material but also socially and politically controversial material - for example, educational content on safer drug use - as well as the grey realms of material instructing in any crime, including politically controversial crimes such as euthanasia.
"Decisions in relation to instructional, educational, scientific or current affairs video material will often be much more complex than in relation to entertainment 'films'," Google said.
"Scenes of war or terrorist activity may 'offensively depict real violence' and rate RC when the video is not in any way 'gratuitous violence' or posted for entertainment."
The net behemoth says website operators should be offered a proper explanation before their web pages gets filtered.
Google believes the filter would slow user access speeds as it would have to be implemented by hundreds of ISPs and millions of internet users who access billions of web pages.
The live trial last year of a handful of ISPs didn't follow the department's own testing technical framework, Google said, and omitted key aspects such as testing a blacklist of up to 10,000 URLs and piloting new technologies like IPv6.
There wasn't a representative cross-section of ISPs that took part in the pilot and no costs of filtering were gathered.
"There is a risk that these factors (not covered in the trials) limit the usefulness of the trials," it said.
Popular video-sharing website YouTube, which Google owns, has had its fair share of bad press with footage of violence or bullying aired for all and sundry. But Google says all videos must comply with its guidelines and YouTube abides by local laws.
Any suggestion that owners of high-traffic websites would voluntarily agree to remove or block content deemed RC-rated was a folly.
When Google receives a legal request, such as a court order to remove material, it would investigate the legitimacy of the request but not automatically comply.
"Beyond these clearly defined parameters, we will not remove material from YouTube."
It believes that under the filtering regime, the likelihood of material on high volume sites being assessed as RC and appearing on the blacklist would be higher.
“It’s all about getting the balance right”
The company reiterated views made in December that the scope of content to be filtered is too wide, and that the government's plan was heavy-handed.
According to Google, moving to a mandatory ISP level filtering regime with a scope that goes well beyond child sexual abuse material would raise genuine questions about restrictions on access to information.
Google searches in China blocked despite end of censorship
CHINESE access to websites covering sensitive topics such as Tibet have remained blocked despite an announcement from Google that it had stopped censoring its Chinese-language search engine.
The web giant announced yesterday that it had stopped filtering results on China-based Google.cn and was redirecting mainland Chinese users to an uncensored site in Hong Kong - effectively closing down the mainland site.
Searches conducted today of subjects like "Falun Gong" and "June 4" - referring to the Tiananmen pro-democracy protests in 1989 - from mainland computers ended with the message: "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page".
Even when a list of results came up for other sensitive key words such as "Tibet riot" and "Amnesty International" not all of the sites could be opened and the response "cannot display the website" again was seen.
Websites of organisations deemed by China's ruling Communist Party to be hostile to the nation - such as the Epoch Times, Peacehall and groups supporting the Tiananmen Democracy Movement - were all still blocked.
And popular websites such as Google's video-sharing service YouTube also continued to be inaccessible from Beijing despite the re-routing through Google.com.hk.
The same searches on Google.com.hk from computers in Hong Kong displayed full results - suggesting that China was itself using its "Great Firewall" of web censorship to keep users from having unfettered internet access.
Google's action came a little more than two months after the internet giant said it had been the victim of cyberattacks originating from China.
"Earlier today we stopped censoring our search services - Google Search, Google News, and Google Images - on Google.cn," Google chief legal officer David Drummond said in a post on the company's official blog.
"Users visiting Google.cn are now being redirected to Google.com.hk, where we are offering uncensored search in simplified Chinese, specifically designed for users in mainland China and delivered via our servers in Hong Kong."
China quickly denounced the move, saying Google had "violated its written promise" and was "totally wrong" to stop censoring its Chinese language search engine and to blame Beijing for alleged hacker attacks.

NEARLY 95,000 descendants of Mohammed are going to sue ten newspapers for publishing "blasphemous" cartoons of the Prophet.
Members of the cult they call “Islam” founded by their beloved and revered seventh century Paedophile,Slave Trading Pirate,Mohammed,seen here gathered together in a spontaneous display of “Peace and Tolerance” such displays are typical throughout Europe and the western world,and have earned the followers of “Islam” the much revered title of,“Members of the Religion of Peace” or “Islam means Peace” awarded to them by their ideological soul mates and apologists on the left.
Faisal Yamani, a Saudi lawyer acting for the descendants, claims that the cartoons - which first appeared in 2005 and caused violent protests by Muslims around the world - are libellous.
Depiction of Islam’s founder,Paedophile Slave Trader and Pirate with his 9 year old wife Aisha on their wedding day
Depiction of Islam’s founder,Paedophile Slave Trader and Pirate, with Aisha on their first date Aisha was then six years of age.
One of the 12 cartoons is of Mohammed wearing a bomb-shaped turban.
The Sunday Times said that although the cartoons were published by Danish newspapers, Mr Yamani plans to pursue his legal action in England, where libel laws are weighted towards the plaintiff.
English lawyers expect that he will agrue that the cartoons were published in Britain via the internet and are a direct slur on his clients, who live in the Middle East, north Africa and even Australia.
A selection of the cartoons that have outraged the descendants of the Paedophile Slave Trading Pirate “mohammed”
Mark Stephens, a British lawyer who Mr Yamani's missive to the newspapers, told The Sunday Times: “Direct descendants of the prophet have a particular place within Muslim society ... By effectively criticizing and making fun of the prophet you are, by implication, holding them up to scandal, contempt and public ridicule.
“The question is, is that defamatory in English law?
Members of the “Religion of Peace “ in a spontaneous show of support for their Paedophile Slave Trading Pirate “mohammed”
He said that although many judges would dismiss such a case, "it is obviously a very highly charged issue and if they do throw it out, it becomes political”.
Mr Yamani has already won an apology from the Danish newspaper Politiken for printing the cartoons.
The cartoons first appeared in Jyllands-Posten as part of its campaign to promote freedom of expression.
However, the paper's offices have been evacuated several times after security threats and the artist behind the bomb cartoon, Kurt Westergaard, was forced to go into hiding. In January this year a man was shot trying to get into his home.
Sane,decent, moral people’s all over the world,would not want to confess,however true,to been related to a Seventh Century Paedophile Slave Trading Sociopathic Pirate, it astounds me that there are 95,000 people who are prepared to admit that they share the same defective perverted genes of this “mohammed” chap.
Why would anybody fly Emirates ? or any other MUSLIM airline, Knowing that this is what your air fares are going towards, Stone Age Neanderthals,who drop to the floor five times a day and rub their snotty noses in the dirt to worship some ancient long forgotten Egyptian Moon God.
Next time any member of the MAJORITY of the Earths population need to fly anywhere,ask your self do you want to fly with those who want to ensure you will get to your destination safely or fly with those who share the ideology of those who want to ensure you never reach it?
God Help (no not the moon god allah,the real GOD) the passengers should the Pilot be a member of the Religion of Peace and decide to exterminate some infidels by crashing the plane so as to get his immediate entry to the Muslim “Heaven” so as to take advantage of his 72 Virgins as a reward for his elimination of NON Muslims from the Planet.
Cabin crew in Dubai jailed for sexy texting: report
Two Emirates Airline cabin crew members in Dubai were given three-month jail terms for exchanging sexy text messages.
The then-married flight attendant, 42, and her male supervisor, 47, were convicted of "coercion to commit sin", the National daily reported court documents as saying on Wednesday.
It said the pair - both Indian - were earlier sentenced to six months in prison to be followed by deportation, but an appeals court last week reduced the jail time and dropped the expulsion penalty.
The court concluded there was not enough evidence to prove that the unidentified pair had actually been sexually involved, the paper added.
The messages were exposed during a bitter divorce battle between the attendant and her husband that began in 2007, the daily said.
It said the divorce court had ordered Dubai's telecommunications company, Etisalat, to produce the text messages after the husband accused his wife of an affair.
Etisalat provided copies of SMS messages in October 2008, allowing the husband to file a "criminal complaint" against his wife, the paper said.
The court also handed a three-month jail term to the attendant's sister for perjury, after she claimed she had been having the affair and had been using her sister's telephone.
The attendant's husband has since gained custody of the couple's four-year-old son after the divorce was finalised, the paper reported.
Dubai, a regional tourist hub with a large non-Muslim expatriate population and the Gulf's most liberal social policies, nevertheless continues to apply strict rules based on Islamic Sharia law. A British pair await a final verdict from Dubai's appeals court next month to find out if they will serve a one-month jail sentence over charges of kissing in public.
A British mother of two lost custody of her children and was jailed for three months last year on adultery charges filed by her then Egyptian husband.
Normal People must simply ONLY fly NON Muslim Airlines.I have NEVER understood why any Normal person would choose to fly with any Muslim Airline anywhere, regardless of the inconvenience for choosing to fly with a NON Muslim western friendly airline.

KEVIN Rudd's personal approval is at its worst since he became opposition leader in December 2006, and the Coalition is in its best position on primary votes since John Howard was prime minister and Kim Beazley was Labor leader.
Despite the unveiling of the Rudd government's $50 billion plan to fix public hospitals, and the Prime Minister's frenetic media appearances and meetings with premiers over his health plan in the past two weeks, satisfaction with Mr Rudd has hit a new low of 48 per cent and dissatisfaction is at a new high of 41 per cent.
This is his worst approval rating since he replaced Mr Beazley as Labor leader.
Mr Rudd declared a little over two weeks ago that Labor had been getting "whacked" in the polls for some time, and he thought they needed to "lift their game" or they would continue be whacked in the polls.
Although there was little real change in the primary vote in the latest Newspoll survey, conducted exclusively for The Australian last weekend, a one-point fall for the ALP from 40 to 39 per cent, within the three-point margin of error, means the Coalition's unchanged primary vote of 41 per cent to Labor's 39 per cent is its best position since November 2006.
Based on the distribution of preferences at the last election and a rise in the Greens' support, the Rudd government still has an election-winning lead on a two-party-preferred basis of 52 per cent to 48 per cent.
Mr Rudd maintained his clear 25-percentage-point lead over Tony Abbott as preferred prime minister, by 55 to 30 per cent..
In the past week, the government has mounted a critical campaign against the Opposition Leader for being "opposed to everything" and obstructing the government in the Senate, as well as advocating a "big new tax" on business to fund a six-month paid parental leave scheme for workers earning up to $150,000 a year.
At the same time, Mr Rudd has travelled to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne to meet the Labor premiers of Queensland, NSW and Victoria to discuss his proposal for the federal government to take over 60 per cent of the funding of public hospitals by taking back 30 per cent of the states' GST revenue.
But Mr Rudd has met resistance from the premiers and was roundly criticised for ignoring NSW Premier Kristina Keneally as she welcomed him to Sydney for the health talks.
In his campaign to lift his falling personal stocks, Mr Rudd has admitted breaking political promises, personal shortcomings and the bungling of the $2.45 billion roof insulation scheme.
According to the latest Newspoll survey, voter satisfaction with Mr Rudd fell three points, from 51 to 48 per cent, and dissatisfaction rose from 40 to 41 per cent. These are the lowest satisfaction rating and highest dissatisfaction rating for Mr Rudd since he became Prime Minister, and represent a net satisfaction rating of just seven points.
Mr Rudd has had the highest satisfaction rating of any prime minister during the 25-year Newspoll survey series of 71 per cent, reached just after the parliamentary apology to the Stolen Generations, but since the end of September last year his satisfaction rating has fallen 19 points and dissatisfaction with him has risen by 16 points.
While Mr Abbott has been accused of blundering politically and putting his colleagues offside over his unilateral announcement of a paid parental leave scheme, his personal support is virtually unchanged, as satisfaction with the Liberal leader went from 48 to 47 per cent and dissatisfaction was the same on 38 per cent.
Financial Services Minister Chris Bowen yesterday told parliament the former leader of the opposition, Malcolm Turnbull, had told the ABC he thought Mr Abbott's dramatic change of heart over the emissions trading scheme was "entirely political in Tony's case".
"I do accept that the Opposition Leader is a conviction politician," Mr Bowen said in question time. "But his only conviction is winning the next election: doing or saying whatever it takes to win the next election. He parades as opposing out of principle, but his only principle is opposition."
On the question of who would make the better prime minister, both Mr Rudd's 55 per cent and Mr Abbott's 30 per cent have been unchanged for the past month.
The Coalition's primary vote support has also remained unchanged at 41 per cent, the first time the Coalition's primary vote has remained at or above 40 per cent for a two-month stretch since late 2006.
While steady in statistical terms, Labor's primary vote shift from 40 to 39 per cent, to equal its lowest primary vote since the election, means the Coalition is now in the best relative position to the ALP since November 2006 when Mr Howard was prime minister and Mr Beazley was removed by Mr Rudd as the Labor leader of the opposition.
Since the middle of October last year, Labor's primary vote has fallen 9 percentage points, from 48 per cent to 39 per cent last weekend. Since the end of November last year, the Coalition's primary vote has risen 6 percentage points from 35 to 41 per cent.
But despite the Coalition's strongest primary vote showing for more than three years, Labor still holds an election-winning lead on a two-party preferred basis because of the flow to Labor of Greens' preferences.

THE Family Court has ordered two young girls to spend alternate weekends with their father, a registered child sex offender, provided he puts a door on their bedroom that they can lock.
Judge Robert Benjamin, in the court's Hobart branch, ruled that the girls "need some protection from (their father), particularly at night", but said the risk of sexual abuse was "diminished when they are awake and alert, and when the children are together".
He said the father must have an "adult friend" stay with him when the girls stay overnight and, until the youngest daughter is 14, the girls must "share the same room so they can have the mutual support of one another".
A Family Court counsellor said the girls, 10 and eight, "are at an age and maturity when awake, dressed and together it would be unlikely the father would act inappropriately toward them".
"However, at night, when they were asleep or partly asleep and not aware of each other's whereabouts, they would be less secure."
The case has outraged women's groups, who say it puts the girls at risk to satisfy the father's desire to see them. The oldest girl, who has just turned 10, sobbed to counsellors that she was afraid to stay overnight with her father.
The father was convicted in 2007 of three child pornography offences, including filming images of child pornography on his computer. He also created links and shortcuts to child porn sites.
In sentencing the man for the offences, a judge in Tasmania said he was "far from convinced" he posed no risk to children and put his name on the Sexual Offenders Register for five years.
His wife left him, and has since been fighting to restrict his access to their two daughters.
In a decision known as Robins and Ruddock, the Family Court found the father had invited one of the girls into his bed, and had "demonstrated affection toward her in a way that was, in all the circumstances, inappropriate for a child of that age".
The eldest girl told counsellors she "did not want to spend time alone with her father" and kept repeating: `Please don't tell dad."

A top media rights watchdog has listed Australia along with Iran and North Korea in a report on countries that pose a threat of internet censorship.
Paris-based media rights group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) on Thursday put Australia and South Korea on its list of countries "under surveillance" in its "Internet Enemies" report.
Australia was listed for the government's plan to block access to websites featuring material such as rape, drug use, bestiality and child sex abuse. Critics say the plan is a misguided measure that will harm civil liberties by blocking a broader range of content than just nasty material.
The Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, has said he plans to introduce legislation by the end of next week that would require ISPs to block a blacklist of "refused classification" websites for all Australians. It is not clear if the government will meet this deadline; a spokeswoman for Senator Conroy said the legislation would be introduced "after it has been considered by caucus and cabinet".
In South Korea, the RSF report added, "draconian laws are creating too many specific restrictions on web users by challenging their anonymity and promoting self-censorship".
"These countries are worrying us because they have measures that could have repercussions for freedom of expression on the internet," RSF secretary general Jean-Francois Julliard said at an internet rights award ceremony on Thursday.
Russia and Turkey were also added to the watchlist, which is a category below RSF's top "Enemies of the internet", the countries it considers the 12 worst web freedom violators.
These include Saudi Arabia, Burma, China, North Korea, Iran and Vietnam.
"The world's largest netizen prison is in China, which is far out ahead of other countries with 72 detainees, followed by Vietnam and then by Iran, which have all launched waves of brutal attacks on websites in recent months," RSF's report said.
A senior manager of US internet giant Google, David Drummond, said there was an "alarming trend" of government interference in online freedom, not only in countries that are judged to have poor human rights records.
He cited Australia's plans as an example, saying that there "the wide scope of content prohibited could include socially and politically controversial material".
The Australian case "is an example of where these benign intentions can result in the spectre of true censorship", he added, speaking at Thursday's ceremony.
"Here in Europe, even in France, at this very moment, some are tempted by this slippery path of network filtering."

Last month, after Senator Conroy called on YouTube to censor videos in accordance with his filtering scheme, the search giant's head of policy in Australia, Iarla Flynn, said: "The scope of RC is simply too broad and can raise genuine questions about restrictions on access to information. RC includes the grey realms of material instructing in any crime from [painting] graffiti to politically controversial crimes such as euthanasia, and exposing these topics to public debate is vital for democracy."
THE Federal Government will make internet censorship compulsory for all Australians and could ban controversial websites on euthanasia and anorexia. Australia's level of net censorship will put it in the same league as China, Cuba, Iran and North Korea.
The Government will not let users opt out of the proposed national internet filter. Broadband, Communications and Digital Economy Minister Stephen Conroy said the Government's $44.2 million internet censorship plan would now include two tiers — one level of mandatory filtering for all Australians and an optional level that will provide a "clean feed", censoring adult material. Despite planning to hold "live trials" before the end of the year, Senator Conroy said it was not known what content the mandatory filter would bar, with euthanasia or proanorexia sites on the chopping block. "We are talking about mandatory blocking, where possible, of illegal material," he said.

THE Canadian family of the wheelchair-bound man allegedly bashed with a metal bar in an unprovoked attack at a Sydney railway station is stunned by its brutality.
Shellan Proden, the mother of the victim, was horrified to learn that two teens had allegedly hit her 35-year-old son with metal bars before running off with his wheelchair in the 11pm assault on Tuesday.
"I can't believe a human being would do that to someone else," Ms Proden said."It's like a savage."
Relatives later told The Daily Telegraph the family was considering a mercy dash to Australia as the man recovers from his skull fracture at Sydney's Westmead Hospital.
"I just want him home," Ms Proden said."I just want him home and safe,
"I just want to see him."
She has asked that her son's name not be released.
He has been confined to a wheelchair since a snowmobile accident in 2000.In a tragic twist, his father was also killed in a snowmobile crash that year.
The attack, which has made headlines worldwide, happened at the Mt Druitt railway station on Tuesday.
Two youths allegedly bashed the man in the face, striking him with parts of his wheelchair as he lay helpless on the ground in a sickening assault that lasted up to five minutes.
Two boys, aged 15 and 16, have been charged with robbery and assault offences.
The man's Australian girlfriend, Kristin Sharrock, is wracked with guilt.
"He's been through a lot in his life and he doesn't deserve what's happened," she told a Canadian TV network.
"I'm sick to my stomach. He came out here for me and he ended up in hospital. And to think that he could have died."
The victim had been waiting at the station after going out to watch a Canadian band play in Sydney's suburbs.
Some members of the group, Doc Walker, were mates with the victim.
"The band is certainly saddened by the turn of events and we're still trying to find out more details ourselves," band manager Ron Kitchener said.
"The band are aware ... and are obviously concerned about his health."

A wheelchair-bound Canadian tourist is in a serious condition after an alleged unprovoked assault by two youths at a train station in Sydney's west last night, say police.
The 35-year-old Mosman man - who is undergoing surgery for head wounds today - was on the platform at Mount Druitt train station when two teenagers approached him, police said.
Do you know more? Message 0424 SMS SMH (+61 424 767 764), email us or direct message us on Twitter @smh_news with information or images.
They "verbally intimidated" him, so he tried to leave by a lift at the station, police said.
But one of the youths allegedly punched him in the face, knocking him out of his wheelchair.
The teenagers then allegedly stomped on the tourist, hitting him about the head and body with metal bars - one from the wheelchair, police said. They then tried to take his wheelchair and belongings.
Police allege the pair left but returned a few times to batter the man with the metal bars again before running from the station.
A NSW Ambulance spokesman said emergency services were called to the station about 11.15pm.
The victim was taken to Westmead Hospital in a serious condition about 11.45pm and was operated on for a depressed skull wound and cuts.
Mount Druitt Local Area Commmander Superintendent Wayne Cox told reporters this morning that the attack had taken between three to five minutes and had been captured on security video as well as being witnessed by a train station employee.
He described the attack as ‘‘a calculated assault’’.
‘‘It’s one of the most serious attacks I’ve seen,’’ Superintendent Cox said.
‘‘Particularly when you’re looking at a person that’s confined to a wheelchair.
‘‘It’s quite distressing to see these young people come back and assault him on a number of occasions.’’
Police said the man was a tourist, who is visiting Australia on a year-long visa, and had been living in Mosman on Sydney's lower north shore.
He was in Mount Druitt to watch friends play in a band.
A 16-year-old youth was charged with robbery and assault offences today and is due to face Parramatta’s Children Court.
Police are still looking for the second alleged attacker, who they say is aged between 12 and 15 and of Pacific Islander appearance. He was last seen wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt, a logo on the front and black track-suit pants.
Kristin Sharrock from Mosman, said she met the victim, who does not want to be identified, at a Pearl Jam concert in Los Angeles last year.
They started dating and he came to Australia in November to visit her.
Ms Sharrock said the victim had a snowmobile accident in Canada about 10 years ago and had been confined to a wheelchair as a result.
‘‘He is a wonderful, kind, generous individual. He’s been through a lot in his life and he doesn’t deserve what’s happened.’’
Ms Sharrock said she was called at midnight by police and told what had happened.
‘‘I was disgusted. I can’t believe someone would attack anybody, let alone someone in a wheelchair.’’ Police said they were reviewing CCTV footage of the alleged assault and urged anyone who could assist to phone Mount Druitt police on 9675 0699 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
There's broad Muslim community support for aspects of Sharia law being adopted in Australia, a leading spokesman for the religion says.
However, harsh penal aspects of the law, including stoning and chopping off hands, will never work and aren't being called for, Islamic Friendship Association of Australia president Keysar Trad says.
But personal aspects of the law, particularly those involving marriage and inheritance, would be broadly supported and would offer great help to ordinary Australian Muslims, he said.
Mr Trad's remarks come after Dr Zachariah Matthews, president of the Australian Islamic Mission, made a similar call, saying aspects of Sharia law could run parallel to existing legislation.
Dr Matthews was speaking during an open day at Lakemba Mosque in Sydney on Saturday.
Some non-Muslims in the audience were reportedly left shocked by the speech.
"Most people seem to think that when it comes to Sharia law it's just about the penal provisions, but that's not that case," Mr Trad told AAP on Monday.
"(The penal provisions) can't work here. No serious person would advocate them."
But he said adopting aspects of Sharia marital and inheritance law - in a dual legal system - would be an advantage, particularly for women.
"At the moment it can disadvantage Muslims here, particularly women, because if a woman gets divorced through the normal civil process that divorce is not recognised in Muslim countries," Mr Trad said.
"So they would still be considered to be married elsewhere."
Equally, Australian governments don't recognise divorce documents made by imams, the mosque and community leaders, Mr Trad said.
"These are all considerations that
face all the time and a lot of them support introducing these parts of Sharia law here," he added.
Dr Matthews also said he was not proposing the introduction of wider Sharia law.
"I don't think we are so unsophisticated that we cannot consider a multi-layered legal system as long as it doesn't conflict with the existing civil system," he was quoted as saying by Fairfax. There are about 340,000 Muslims in Australia, or 1.7 per cent of the population, Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show.
ELEMENTS of Islamic law - the sharia - should be legally recognised in Australia so that Muslims can live according their faith, a prominent Muslim leader says.
Addressing an open day at Lakemba Mosque on Saturday, the president of the Australian Islamic Mission, Zachariah Matthews, said parts of sharia could be recognised as a secondary legal system so that Muslims were not forced to act contrary to their beliefs. ''Sharia law could function as a parallel system in the same way that some traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander law was recognised in the Northern Territory,'' Dr Matthews told the Herald after the session.
Millions, Hundreds of Thousands, Thousands, Hundreds tons of Australians flock to Lakemba Mosque.. Honest.
Matthews said of the Islamic objective in his writings “The Hijrah: A Necessary Phase in the Dawah” 30 3 2004 on page 4, wrote.
" iii. Secrets should be hidden: The Prophet (s) hid the secrets of his journey and only disclosed them to those with strong ties to him. And, then they were only told what they needed to know in order for them to act - they were "on a need to know" basis. Today we talk about issues that don’t need to be talked about to the general public - what is needed is "less talk and more action."
vi. Deception is necessary: The Prophet (s) instructed ‘Ali (ra) to put on the cloak in which the Prophet (s) normally slept and to lay down on his bed. The Prophet (s) and Abu Bakr (ra) also chose to hide in a cave to the south in the direction of Yemen so as to fool their pursuers. [Al-Ghazali] )
''I don't think we are so unsophisticated that we cannot consider a multilayered legal system as long as it doesn't conflict with the existing civil system.''
The comments shocked some attending the open day. They felt Dr Matthews was advocating the introduction of the penal system under which women have been stoned to death for adultery, and corporal punishment is meted out for some offences.
''It came as quite a shock to some non-Muslims in the crowd when sharia law and the idea of a parallel legal system was mentioned,'' one audience member, Jasmine Donnelly, said.
''One group of people just left straight after that.''
But Dr Matthews said he was referring only to certain elements of family law and inheritance law and was not advocating the sharia penal system.
''I wasn't talking about sharia law in its entirety - we are not calling for the introduction of the penal system which calls for cutting off hands,'' he said.
Dr Matthews said a clash occurred in some custody matters. ''Under sharia law, if a couple divorce and the mother remarries, her former husband has the right to decide whether the children will live with the new husband or not,'' Dr Matthews said.
''There is still a preference for the child to go with the mother, but the father has the ultimate decision.
''This does not exist in Australian law but I do not believe it clashes fundamentally with Australian values or the Australian legal system.''
Attempts by Australian Muslims to build bridges to the wider community through Saturday’s open day at the Lakemba mosque exploded as dramatically as an Islamist suicide terrorist.
In an effort to present an acceptable face of Islam, the president of the Australian Islamic Mission Dr Zachary Matthews, held an “Ask the Sheikh” session at which he admitted that he and the Islamic community do want sharia law in Australia to government the lives of local Muslims. This was mentioned uncritically in this article in Monday’s edition of The Sydney Morning Herald yesterday. “Why is it not possible to manage diverse legal systems? We could have common civil law and personal religious law. If people want to administer their own legal systems then why not?” he said.
As a German man at the back of the crowd said: “I’m German - then I could drive on the roads at whatever speed I want because that’s the law in Germany.” Dr Matthews said he only wanted sharia to govern the domestic lives of Muslims. Driving on the roads would affect the good of the majority, so that’s different, he said.
But as my correspondent, former Reuter’s reporter Alison Bevege noted in her missive to me, it isn’t. “Sharia law affects the legal pillars of equality before the law and the separation of church and state. Two far more important principles than a mere speed limit,” she wrote. “Under sharia law, a man is considered to be boss of the household and his wife must defer to him. He can choose to keep the children in a divorce arrangement even in situations where this would not be best for the children’s welfare.”
While Dr Mathews was presenting an argument for a multicultural society by confusing the flawed concept with the case for a multiracial Australia, books on sale in the basement below the mosque reflected the awful truth about the values broadly supported by those who fully embrace Islam and its holy book, the Koran.
Bevege found most of the books on offer were in Arabic but among those in English were publications which exposed the wide cultural gap that would be legalised under sharia law: Islamic intolerance for homosexuality, for equal rights of women and for individual freedoms.
She quoted from the “The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam” by Yusuf al-Qaradawi, which says: “Because of his natural ability ... the man is the head of the house ... He is entitled to the obedience and cooperation of his wife, and accordingly it is not permissible for her to rebel against his authority.” And what happens if she does? After first sleeping apart from her to try to rectify his wife’s behaviour, we learn on page 205 that it is OK for the husband to beat her, although just “lightly with his hands”. As Bevege said, perhaps that means he can just slap her around a bit.
The book then quotes Imam al-Hafiz ibn Hajar who says “To be specific, one may beat only to safeguard Islamic behaviour and if he (the husband) sees deviation only in what she must do or obey in relation to him.” Bevege, who has worked in North Africa, said despite Dr Matthew’s public support for multiculturalism and diversity, the books in the basement state Muslim women are not allowed to marry non-Muslim men. “It is forbidden. They might abandon their religion - the ultimate sin of apostasy - punishable in some parts of the world by death. “But polygamy is legal under sharia - and Muslim men can marry a variety of women both Muslim and non-Muslim.
It’s OK for a Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim woman because she must submit to the husband so she will ultimately be converted,” she said. “The German’s point about the roads hit upon the massive chasm between those who identify with Islam and Westerners who identify with their country of origin.
“The German identified with Germany. He can be of any religion or none at all as a German. He can be gay or straight or bi and expect equal rights. His nationality-defined identity gives him rights as an individual to be free from state meddling in his personal affairs and equality before the law - as in every Western nation. Church and state are separate.
“Priests do not make legally enforceable decrees from the pulpit. They can not interfere in daily life and the public are not obliged to listen to them. “But sharia law does not separate church and state. Islam becomes not just a religion but a legal code and a political system.
“Sharia means religious laws and religious leaders being able to make legal decrees. “Sharia is an Islamic system of jurisprudence agreed on and issued by holy men. “The individual is micromanaged within an inch of their lives. There can be edicts on every facet of existence from hand-washing to what foods you can eat and who you can marry. There are hundreds of directions on how to behave. “Under some interpretations of sharia law, punishments that seem barbaric to Western eyes are widely practiced. In Islamic countries from Somalia, Saudi Arabia and north Sudan to Pakistan adulterers may be stoned to death or women whipped for daring to wear a pair of jeans. All it takes is one bad holy man. “There are moderate nations like Malaysia where people are not stoned to death under sharia. But they can still be officially caned and beaten - unlike Australia. “Those who want sharia do not identify with a nation-state of geographic boundaries but with a global ideology that differs drastically from the values of Western societies. “They follow the nation’s laws out of necessity but their loyalty is to Islam first. Bevege asked the question that Muslims wanting to introduce sharia to the nations to which they migrate do not seem to have any answer.
“With so many Muslim countries where living under sharia law is possible, in all flavours of moderation or extremism, why would Muslims want to move to Australia then ask for our laws to change? Why not just go and live in one of the many countries where sharia law already exists? It would be more culturally appropriate,” she stated. She believes one answer lies in the bookstore where among the many books for sale lies a slim volume: “The Return of the Khalifate” by Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi. It outlines the demise of the Ottoman Empire and the need to re-unite the world’s Muslims. The goal: domination under Islam in a global caliphate. Its premise: Western society is doomed. Democracy is doomed and Westernism in Islamic nations is doomed. Islam is the only answer. In his book, Sheikh As-Sufi calls democracy a “cynical deception”, in another book by Imam Ibn Hajr catchily-titled
“The Attainment of The Objective According to the Evidences of the Ordinances”, the religious ruling on apostates is bluntly spelled out “Kill those who change their religion”. Bevege reasonably argues that some might say that similar violent exhortations are contained in the Bible, and that religion is all in the interpretation. They are right. But the difference is that Western countries have a well-defined separation of church and state. The courts are secular. Priests are not judges. She continued, that is not what happens where religion is law under sharia. In many countries - Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Somalia, under al-Shabaab, all come to mind - these pronouncements are taken literally and apostates have been murdered. Australia has long been a tolerant society but there are limits to tolerance - and that is a good thing. As Bevege summed up, while the Sheikh made a valiant effort to sugar-coat the pill, putting on a free sausage sizzle and opening the mosque for a day of PR pleasantries does not change that fact.
She says Australia should defend the limits of multiculturalism and not change the laws of the land for a minority. “We will safeguard the personal liberties and freedoms of all who come to this country under the Western system of democracy. “All will be equal before the law. There will be no separate law for Muslims. “Muslims are very welcome in Australia - there are many very wonderful Islamic people, especially the Somalis, who are my personal favourites,” she wrote. “But in Australia we will not have sharia law, so all Muslims must first decide that religion is to be a personal and private matter not a legal matter for the state, before they choose to move here. “Otherwise they are free to leave.”
A multinational company Sponsoring the Tying of a rope around a Kangaroo and have it “Box” in a ring with some Arse Clown is easier to understand when you consider that the same multinational company has with much chest thumping,whooping and fan fare all to the applause of their leftist Islamist apologists just rolled over to the Islamic colonialists occupying forces in Australia, by making the much Loved (or hated) Australian icon,Vegemite, “Halal”.
The cruelty inflicted upon Animals during the barbaric slaughtering process that is the Halal method of animal killing, is just a few steps up the animal cruelty ladder than what is seen in the video below where some Arse “Clown” and his brave assistants, assault an Australian Kangaroo, I suppose we should be grateful they did not hack its head off with an Islamic Holy sword or hatchet so as to yet again appease Kraft’s Muslim colonialists occupying forces in Australia.

US 'Aussie' show knocks a kangaroo around for laughs
IT IS an image that will leave every Australian sick to the stomach.
Our national mascot dressed in shorts and boxing gloves with a rope tied around its chest, goaded into boxing with a human clown.
Bring this Kangaroo HOME NOW
One of Australia's most iconic symbols is reduced to a cruel and insulting comedy act - all in front of an audience cheering for more.
Welcome to BorderFest - a US festival in Hidalgo, Texas, designed to "celebrate" all things Australian.
A festival sponsor is Kraft, US owners of another Aussie icon Vegemite. Pepsi sponsors the show itself and the festival website has a Tourism Australia logo and link.
The "Rocky Show Circus" runs at least twice a day, starring two kangaroos and their owner Javier Martinez, who also dons the clownsuit.
Mr Martinez baits the kangaroo by pushing it and repeatedly jabs at it before placing it in a headlock.
If Rocky fights back too much Mr Martinez's wife Sandra restrains the kangaroo using a heavy tether attached to a harness around the animal's chest.
Yesterday, Mr Martinez defended his cruel act. "You cannot force a kangaroo to do nothing," he said.
"(Kangaroos) only do what they want to do so we don't make them work, you work around them."
Mr Martinez is not alone. The Daily Telegraph can reveal that circuses in Asia, Europe and the US are increasingly using our national mascots as comedy acts, leaving the animals traumatised and injured - and in some cases dead. Mr Martinez's treatment of his kangaroos - which travel across the US performing at different circuses - has been investigated by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) repeatedly for violations of animal welfare act.
He has been on the authority's watch list since 2003 when two kangaroos under his care died within four months.
According to animal welfare group PETA, who did their own investigations of the show, one kangaroo died from complications caused by a deadly bacterial disease called "lumpy jaw".
After another undercover investigation by the USDA in 2007, Mr Martinez was told to immediately change the way he handled his kangaroos.
An inspection report reported the kangaroo showed signs of behavioural stress including severe aggressiveness.
"During the boxing performance the animal was observed trying to leave the ring and being forced to remain in the ring to complete the act," the USDA inspection report said.
PETA's Asia-Pacific senior campaigner Ashley Fruno last night called for a boycott of kangaroo acts. "Being forced to participate in these tawdry shows is cruel and can cost kangaroos their lives," Ms Fruno said.
The only Fight a Kangaroo should EVER have to FIGHT can be seen in the video below
Growing number of Muslim men and multiple wives exploiting loophole for taxpayer handouts
“Islamic Friendship Association of Australia president Keysar Trad said he believed “not many more than 50″ Muslim families in Australia were polygamist. But he said he also knew of non-Muslim men who had more than one de facto wife who claimed Centrelink payments.
Mr Trad agreed only those who could afford a second wife, without reliance on Centrelink, should marry more than one woman.
“Marriage, whether they are single or plural, I believe in the old adage, they are made in heaven,” he said.“
and from ANV post titled (scroll to “Islam's man of a million comments”)
Mrs Trad reflects “……….It has not been easy and they remember 1998 as their worst year when Trad fell in love - "became obsessed", his wife says - with another woman. In desperation, Hanifeh proposed marriage on her husband's behalf to the other woman. "We were having a terrible time. He fell in love and I wasn't thinking about myself," she says. But his obsession passed. "He became more compassionate after it," Hanifeh says. "God meant for him to go through this experience and it made him a better person and more emotionally aware. It knocked him off his perch."
