Sydney Artist paints “Say no to Burqa Mural”

 

Ban the burqa mural 'not anti-Muslim' says artist

Henry Budd From: The Daily Telegraph
September 23, 2010

A MURAL urging governments to outlaw the burqa has appeared in the trendy inner-city suburb of Newtown.

Local artist Sergio Redegalli painted the "Say no to burqas" sign on the outside of workshop this week to start a debate about the practice of wearing face-covering veils.

Redegalli said burqas and niqabs are symbols of religious extremism and were becoming more prevalent in Australia.

He said the image was not anti-Muslim, anti-Islam or anti-women.

"If you let it [the practice of covering your face] go, someone, somewhere down the line will say we would like Sharia Law," he said.

Mr Redegalli said the image has already been defaced twice since he began painting it on Monday.

Mr Redegalli also drives a ute with stickers on the front saying "Australians have nothing to hide, say no to burqas".

About 2000 Muslims held a peaceful protest in Lakemba last Saturday, angered by growing local and international pressure to restrict the wearing of veils in public.

The rally was a response to recent bans in Europe and two failed attempts by Christian Democratic Party MP Fred Nile to have a Bill banning burqas and other face veils in public introduced in the NSW Legislative Council.

This Guy has had to employ a security guard to watch over his PRIVATE PROPERTY because he chooses to exercise his right to free speech in Australia.

"The army has let us down mate and I am disgusted." Battle of Derapet, Australian Soldier’s shocking account of needless death of Lance Corporal Jared Mackinney

Our Diggers betrayed in hell of Afghanistan

The Daily Telegraph
September 21, 2010

A SOLDIER who fought alongside dead Digger Jared Mackinney in Afghanistan said his mate would still be alive if the troops had received adequate fire support and better intelligence.

In a stunning email to a friend in Australia obtained by The Daily Telegraph the soldier, who cannot be named, said it was a miracle that five or six more Australians were not killed during the Battle of Derapet on August 24.

Full Battle Video here

The soldier also revealed that, far from being an ambush, the Australian and Afghan National Army soldiers were expecting to be attacked as they patrolled the green zone at Deh Rawood, 60km west of Tarin Kowt.

The Digger, from the 1st Mentoring Task Force, accused the Australian Army of exposing troops to unnecessary risks.

"That contact would have been over before Jared died if they gave us f ... ..g mortars," he said.

Lance Corporal Mackinney's widow Becky gave birth to their second child, a son Noah, just five hours after his funeral service in Brisbane on September 10. He was the 21st of 22 Australian soldiers to be killed in Afghanistan.

The soldier said his section had been in a contact 100m from the same spot two days earlier and reports from sappers clearing bombs on the morning of the battle said civilians were fleeing.

"That told us it was going to be on," he said in the email.

The patrol's first big surprise was the size of the enemy force.

No intelligence reports had prepared the two sections of about 24 men each for a confrontation with up to 100 enemy attacking from multiple firing positions as close as 80m away.

"We were at times pinned down by a massive rate of fire but we stuck to it. We are not operating in platoon-size groups so this is hard when you can't manoeuvre sections against them, but we tried to fix them so we could destroy them with air assets," he said.

But the second shock for the Diggers, who were forced to withdraw as they started to run low on ammunition, was the complete lack of fire support from artillery, mortars or aircraft.

"We are not f ... ing happy, but then again the BG [Battle Group] f ... s up the intelligence report because a certain ... writes it from the signal log book [radio log of conversation] instead of getting contact reports, patrol reports and a patrol debrief," he wrote.

"The army has let us down mate and I am disgusted."

The soldier, from Brisbane's 6th Battalion, said an unmanned spy plane flew above the battlefield pin-pointing enemy positions throughout the three-hour contact, but effective fire support failed to materialise.

"We gave them qala reference numbers off the map [each house in each village has a qala number], 10 figure grids and even expended all our 66mm rockets marking the targets with HE (high explosive) and we still had no joy. Everyone is too scared about collateral damage."

He said Lance Corporal Mackinney died almost half an hour into the battle.

"Jared got hit and the boys were working on him but he would have been gone already," he said.

"They were copping rounds the whole time, all the way through to loading him on the AME [Aero Medical Evacuation chopper]."

The Digger also slammed the lack of air support provided by an American Apache helicopter that flew just two offensive strafing runs all day.

"Air took time, f ... k knows why, and when it finally turned up it flew around for about 25 minutes."

The soldier's blunt email has been circulated to senior officers including Defence Chief Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston.

Announcing the casualty in Canberra on August 25, ACM Houston said there was a "lot of support provided by the Apache helicopter".

He also told Australians that Lance Corporal Mackinney had been killed "very early on" in the battle.

According to the email, most fire support came from Australian Light Armoured Vehicles (ASLAVs) providing overwatch to the joint Australian-Afghan patrol from a nearby hillside.

The soldier's plea was strongly supported by retired counter-insurgency expert Major General Jim Molan, a coalition operational commander in Iraq, who said the Federal Government should immediately send Abrams tanks and Army Tiger attack helicopters before more soldiers died.

"We must never incur casualties because the support for our soldiers was not fast enough, not accurate enough or not able to be used because of rules of engagement," General Molan said.

The Government has to date ignored all pleas to send more troops or weapons.

During the Vietnam War, the Australian Labor Party and its Marxist Union fundraisers and financiers, the Australian Council of Trade Unions, directly funded and assisted the North Vietnamese Communist Army.

Today our troops are in Afghanistan the same Government whilst importing into Australia as many male Afghani “refugee’s” as it can is depriving Australian Soldiers of weapons and supplies as well as this recent attack upon Australia’s Finest,I guess they just cannot help but follow their hearts whenever it comes to choosing between Australians and “ENTER NAME OF ANYONE DEDICATED TO KILLING AUSTRALIANS HERE”

It's un-Australian ... rally condemns push to ban burqa

Jacqueline Maley
September 20, 2010

Islamic values are superior to ''flawed'' Western secular values and non-Muslims are in no position to lecture Muslims about the oppression of women, a speaker said yesterday at a Sydney rally against proposals to ban the burqa.

Potential Assassin ? seen holding a picture of Christianity’s Virgin Mary,the Mother of Jesus Christ,so as to give her and her fellow cult members their own appalling Neanderthal beliefs some credibility, “Burqa Ban is Un Australian” No,Islam is un Australian, Muslims are un Australian, Muslims tell us so at every opportunity available to them.

"The criminal dregs of white society colonised this country, (Australia) and now, they only
take the select choice of other societies, and the descendants of these criminal
dregs tell us that they are better than us. And because we are not elitists, we
tolerate them.(Muslims TOLERATE Australians) Yet they want us to assimilate, perhaps they will only become
satisfied when we each die our hair red, wear blue/green contact lenses, and
operate a fish and chips shop, otherwise, we would not be truly assimilating,
would we?
"As for those whose souls the angels took while still they were wronging
themselves - the angels said, "in what were you engaged?" They said, "We were weak
in the land." They said: "was not Allah's earth spacious, so that you might have
emigrated in it?" So for those, their abode is hell, and it is a bad destination."

''Despite the intense negative propaganda against Islam and in particular the lies about its treatment of women, the number of Western women embracing Islam continues to rise at a rapid rate,'' said Fautmeh Ardati, a member of the Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir. ''By turning their backs on this flawed way of life, it is testament of the superiority of Islamic values over Western values.''

                                    So what does the Proscribed Terrorist organization Hizb ut-Tahrir have to say about Australia and Western Democracy

Women did not wear Islamic dress out of freedom of choice, Ms Ardati told the Lakemba rally.
''Because to use freedom of choice as a justification, then we are also accepting of women who undress out of this same freedom of choice, and we can never do this as Muslim women. We dress like this because it is the command of Allah, not any man.''

Women had two options, she said. ''The Western secular way of life, which robs a woman of her dignity, honour and respect, where she is considered little more than a commodity to be bought and sold, or the option of Islam, where a woman's dignity, respect and honour are priceless.''

Women's rights activist jailed in Iran for 'warring against God' -

Daily Telegraph
September 20, 2010 1:19AM

IRAN sentenced a women's rights activist to six years in jail on charges including "warring against God," an offence that can carry the death penalty, her lawyer said today.

Journalist Shiva Nazar-Ahari, 26, was the latest among the dozens of activists to receive a stiff jail sentence after being picked up amid the mass protests that followed hard-line President Mahmoud

Ahmadinejad's controversial re-election in June last year.

At least 10 of those arrested were given death sentences.

Ms Nazar-Ahari "has been sentenced to three and a half years in jail for Moharebeh [warring against God], two years for conspiracy to commit a crime and six months for propaganda against the regime," her

lawyer Mohammad Sharif said.

The court ordered her to serve the jail term in the town of Izeh,  800 kilometres from her home city of Tehran, Sharif said, adding that he would lodge an appeal, the moderate Arman newspaper reported.

Ms Nazar-Ahari was first granted bail three months after her initial arrest amid international concern about the possible death sentence but was re-arrested last December while on her way to the Shiite shrine city

of Qom for the funeral of dissident cleric Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri.

The capital charge was reportedly leveled against her over suspicions she had ties with the regime's most hated foe - the exiled opposition People's Mujahedeen of Iran (PMOI) - an accusation she strongly denied.

_________________________________________________________

contd. from It's un-Australian ... rally condemns push to ban burqa  …..Later she cited high rates of rape and domestic violence and said: ''They are in no position to be lecturing us about oppression and subjugation.'' Ms Ardati was one of five speakers at the rally, held at Parry Park, in reaction to a recent unsuccessful attempt by the NSW MP Fred Nile to introduce a bill banning the burqa.

The Premier, Kristina Keneally's recent statement re-affirming the right of Muslim women to wear the burqa was welcomed but Ms Ardati said the support of key politicians did not mean Muslims could ''relax''.

''Even if this bill is not passed in NSW now, who knows what will happen in one week, one month or one year?'' Ms Ardati said.

There were about 2000 people at the rally, with men and women segregated by a row of plastic markers. Male speakers spoke to the crowd from a podium at the front. The two female speakers spoke from the women's section, meaning most of the men had their backs turned to them.

Sheikh Shady al-Suleiman said Muslims loved Australia but rejected interference in the practice of their religion. ''Keep away from our affairs,'' he said.

Umm Jamaalud-Din said Mr Nile's ''un-Australian'' bill had ''open[ed] the floor to racist elements that exist within Australian society'' who would now feel they could vilify, abuse and possibly assault Muslim women.

''I feel empowered by the knowledge that I am in control of displaying my beauty to whom I choose,'' she said.

''I can move freely throughout society without being subjected to the eyes of every Tom, Dick and Harry and not be judged on face value but rather for who I am as a person.''

Earlier, organisers had told people not to speak to the media. One woman wearing a burqa said she would have to ask her husband before speaking to the Herald. When asked if she needed her husband's permission to speak, she said: ''We are allowed but we choose not to.''

"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"

Paedophilia, whoops!!!! sorry, “gender and cultural issues” rampant AGAIN inside Australia’s illegal entrant detention centres, Project SafeCon to the rescue.

 

Detention centre 'ripe for child sex abuse'

By Josh Jerga

Daily Telegraph
September 19, 2010 3:41PM

REFUGEE advocates say both the immigration department and the minister knew there was a risk of child sex abuse occurring at detention centres housing cross-cultural families.

West Australian police have confirmed they are investigating allegations two children were sexually abused at a location in regional WA.

Acting Deputy Commissioner Nick Anticich said police had received a complaint about child sex abuse however due to privacy reasons would not go into detail.

"The child abuse squad has launched an investigation and is trying to verify the allegations," he said.

According to News limited, on Tuesday Child Abuse Squad detectives and specialist child interviewers flew to Leonora, the WA Goldfields town where a detention centre was established in June.

About 195 asylum seekers, including Afghans, Sri Lankans and Iranians and comprising of family groups are housed at the Leonora facility.

Victoria Martin-Iverson from the Refugee Rights Action Network said she had been aware of the allegations prior to media reporting.

Ms Martin-Iverson said she raised the potential risk of child sex abuse at Leonora with former immigration minister Chris Evans last month.

"I expressed to Mr Evans at a public forum the simple reality that we have families who are stressed and are in a situation where they have no power or control over who is with their children," she told AAP.

"That they are in no position to protect their children or deny access to their children. They created a situation which is ripe for abuse."

She said at the forum in Perth prior to the election, Mr Evans told her basically 'everything was fine' and rejected her comments.

Jack Smit of human rights group Project SafeCom said the immigration department and its minister had assured the public that those transferred to the centre were being placed in a safe and family-appropriate environment.

However they have now breached that commitment, Mr Smit said.

"They knew exactly what was promised to the Australian public about kids in detention and families in detention.

They have breached that agreement and now we have trouble," he told AAP.

"Really the minister as well as the immigration department is culpable of this happening.

"They've created circumstances which has enabled this kind of stuff. They're culpable to the extreme."

Mr Smit said the allegations demonstrated there was no consideration given to gender and cultural issues when the families were transferred to the Leonora facility.

As immigration spokesman said the department would not comment on police matters but stressed the safety and welfare of people in their care is the highest priority.

"Any allegations of inappropriate or criminal behaviour is treated extremely seriously and appropriate action is taken," he told AAP.

"For privacy reasons we are going to discuss issues relating to individuals in our care."

So just what are these “gender and cultural issues” that the Hate Australia, open borders advocates are alluding to here?

These Open Border advocates at Project SafeCom, CON, tell Australians that we are blessed to have illegal entrants in our country,every illegal entrant arriving adding yet another golden thread to Australia’s rich “Multicultural Tapestry of Cultural Diversity” and that the more who arrive here the better.

Are they berating their Open Borders facilitators,and fifth column partners, the Australian Labor Party for not recognizing the Islamic Religion’s followers preoccupation with Paedophilia and not taking steps to prevent,what is in effect, their Religious and cultural (issues) practices?

Just what parts of the “Rich Tapestry of Multiculturalism” did they think they were going / not going, to get? or are these fifth column Australia Haters just getting in first for what is going to be an up coming public relations disaster for them and their fifth column partners the Australian Labor Government.

Another example of the manifestations of the  Religious and Cultural norms of the people that Jack Smit and his Project SafeCon mob demand Australians acquiesce to at every turn under the threat of their Taxpayer funded rabid “student activist’s” storm troopers branding any rejection of their sick ideology as RACISM.

This is NOT the first time the manifestations of Islam inside Illegal entrant detention centers has been exposed,I have on file (some where) records of these incidents and will update this post with them as soon as I can find them

Australia
Muslims Assault Non-Muslim in Immigration Detention Centres
20 May 2002

A deeply disturbing scandal has emerged in Australia’s immigration detention centres where Christians and other non-Muslim asylum-seekers have been “stoned, assaulted, sexually harassed and abused by Islamic fanatics”.
Reza, an Iranian Christian, was blinded in one eye last August when a group of Afghan Muslim men stoned Christians leaving the dining hall in Woomera detention centre.  In another incident a Christian man was kicked to the floor and his cross was ripped from his neck.
In December 2001 an eighteen-year-old Mandean girl (a small religious group which follows the teachings of John the Baptist) was shouted at by Muslim men in a dining hall who called her a “dirty, filthy infidel” who shouldn’t be allowed to serve food to Muslims.  When she attempted to argue back she was “pushed to the ground and kicked and abused.”  In a similarly shocking incident a blind Mandean man was seized by Muslim men, held down and defecated on before being left in a locked toilet.

In other incidents non-Muslim girls have faced sexual harassment and verbal abuse because they do not wear Islamic veils, the doorways of Mandean asylum seekers have been defecated in, and a local Islamic mullah has even called for a jihad (holy war) against Mandeans at the Port Hedland detention centre.  Non-Muslim men, women, and even children, many of whom fled Muslim-majority countries like Iran in the first place because they were being persecuted for their faith, are now facing abuse of a horrific nature from Muslim conservatives in Australia’s detention centres.

The majority of asylum seekers in Australia are Muslims.  Witnesses say that extremist Shiah Muslims, particularly Iranians, Afghans and Iraqis, are often those behind the violence.  The BBC quotes Dr Graham Thom, Amnesty International’s Refugee Co-ordinator, as saying “The reports we’re hearing say that Mandeans, Tamils and other Hindus, Christians - in particular Christian converts - are facing violence or threats of violence from certain Islamists within the detention centres.  They are being called infidels.  They are being refused access to kitchens and things like that because people think they are unclean as infidels.  This has escalated at times when there is a serious breakdown of order within the detention centre when there are riots and things like that and these groups, who often refuse to participate in riots, are physically assaulted.”

Chaplains, pastoral workers and staff at the Woomera, Curtin and Port Hedland detention centres in Australia have spoken up about an atmosphere of Islamic intimidation and terror in which the authorities seem powerless to protect the non-Muslims.
Whilst Muslim asylum-seekers have access to halal meat and mosques, many non-Muslims’ religious and dietary needs are not being met.  In Woomera Mandeans are now even allegedly forced to hold their religious meetings in secret, and in Curtin no Mandean services are being held at all because the authorities simply cannot guarantee the protection of the participants, and even Christian services, including baptisms, have been severely restricted.

The widespread suffering and “constant discrimination” is leading to deep emotional distress and psychological trauma.  Jim Monaghan, a Christian chaplain at Woomera, says that “at present the families there are very vulnerable.  There have been attempted suicides and other forms of self-harm ... they are desperate.”

These shocking reports, which have been publicised by Australia’s The Age newspaper, the BBC, and Amnesty International, have raised a new factor in the debate surrounding Australia’s immigration policy, which is often criticised as being harsh.

The reports also raise disturbing questions about the state of asylum centres in Europe, America and other countries in the developed world.  Could Christians and other non-Muslim asylum-seekers be suffering similar discrimination in other contexts where Muslims also make up the majority of asylum-seekers?

Why are Muslims so Liberated, the left would no doubt say “Progressive” in their sexual practices / perversions ?

Question: 'It has become widespread these days, and especially during
weddings, the habit of mufa'khathat of the children. (mufa'khathat -
literally translated, it means "placing between the thighs" which means
placing the male member between the thighs of a child).

What is the opinion of scholars, knowing full well that the prophet, the
peace of Allah be upon him, also practiced the "thighing" of Aisha - the
mother of believers - may Allah be pleased with her ?

Answer: After studying the issue, the committee has answered as follows:

As for the prophet, his thighing his fiancée Aisha when she was six years of
age and not able to consummate the relationship was due to her small age.
That is why the Prophet used to place his male member between her thighs and
massage it, as the prophet had control of his male member not like other
men.

Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, The Supreme Leader of Iran, the Shia Grand
Ayatollah, 1979-89 said in his official statements:

"A man can quench his sexual lusts with a child as young as a baby. However,
he should not penetrate. Sodomizing the baby is halal (allowed by sharia).
If the man penetrates and damages the child, then he should be responsible
for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however, does not count as one
of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the
girl's
sister. It is better for a girl to marry when her menstruation starts, and
at her husband's house rather than her father's home. Any father marrying
his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven."

Khomeini, "Tahrirolvasyleh" fourth volume, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990

"It is not illegal for an adult male to 'thigh' or enjoy a young girl who is
still in the age of weaning; meaning to place his penis between her thighs,
and to kiss her."

Ayatu Allah Al Khumaini's "Tahrir Al wasila" p. 241, issue number 12

"Young boys or girls in full sexual effervescence are kept from getting
married before they reach the legal age of majority. This is against the
intention of divine laws. Why should the marriage of pubescent girls and
boys be forbidden because they are still minors, when they are allowed to
listen to the radio and to sexually arousing music?

Khomeini's Teachings on sex with infants and animals

Islamic Teachings on sex with infants:

"A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate. If he penetrates and the child is harmed then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however would not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girl's sister."

The complete Persian text of this saying can be found in "Ayatollah Khomeini in Tahrirolvasyleh, Fourth Edition, Darol Elm, Qom"

Islamic Teachings on sex with animals:

"The meat of horses, mules, or donkeys is not recommended. It is strictly forbidden if the animal was sodomized while alive by a man. In that case, the animal must be taken outside the city and sold."

Editor's notes: I wonder if it is OK to sodomize a dead animal? What happens if the buyer brings the poor animal back into the city?

"If one commits an act of sodomy with a cow, a ewe, or a camel, their urine and their excrements become impure, and even their milk may no longer be consumed. The animal must then be killed as quickly as possible and burned, and the price of it paid to its owner by him who sodomized it."

Editor's note: The poor animal first is sodomized and then killed and burned. What an Islamic justice towards animals? Where are the animal
rights group?

"It is forbidden to consume the excrement of animals or their nasal secretions. But if such are mixed in minute proportions into other foods their consumption is not forbidden."

"If a man (God protect him from it!) fornicates with an animal and ejaculates, ablution is necessary."

Editor's note: It does not say who should have ablution: the animal or the man?

Australia’s recently appointed ‘Idiot in search of a UN village in residence” former Australian PM Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 /Rudd BEDAZZLES the Washington Press Gallery and seduces ? Madame Clinton to visit Australia on the promise of a ‘Good Time”

Kevin Rudd promises Hillary Clinton 'a really good time' in Australia

By Lincoln Archer
Daily Telegraph
September 18, 2010

KEVIN Rudd has promised Hillary Clinton she will have "a really good time" when she visits Australia in November.
Mr Rudd has met with Ms Clinton in Washington DC, where he has begun a week-long visit to the United States including an address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

At a press conference after their talks, Secretary of State Ms Clinton has announced she and US Defence Secretary Robert Gates will come to Australia on November 8 for talks with their counterparts Mr Rudd and Stephen Smith, along with other top representatives.

Lu Kewen aka. Kevin, 07 / Rudd, recently deposed Australian PM, and now Australia’s official “Idiot in search of a UN Village in residence” left, seen here bedazzling the Washington Press Gallery and tempting / teasing ? Madame Clinton with up till now, unspoken delights awaiting her in Australia during her recently announced visit to Australia.

"We intend to make it a really good time," Mr Rudd has said, prompting laughter at the press conference. "Not in the sense that you all think." (please tell us sewer mouth just what “sense”did you think they were “all thinking”? you are a grubby little man Lu Kewen) BAAAAARRRRRRFFFFFF !!!!

Ms Clinton, also laughing, replied: "Oh I'm not so sure about that." Mr Rudd countered: "We're a hospitable people." BAAAAARRRRRRFFFFFF !!!!

Madame Clinton was seen off camera to sit down hold her breast and catch her breath immediately after this press conference concluded, White House Medical staff confirmed that Madame Clinton, although, whilst suffering from a higher than usual pulse rate and hot flushes,there was no reason for concern and later reported that soon after the exiting of the White House building by Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 / Rudd Madame Clintons vital signs returned to within the normal range, there was however no explanation as to why she and her Lady “personal assistant” retired to her private rooms for the rest of the afternoon.

It is not known weather
Australia’s “Idiot in search of a UN Village in residence” Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 Rudd’s consort / partner, Madame Rein, was travelling with him on this visit to Washington

There was an obvious rapport between Mr Rudd and Ms Clinton at the joint appearance. The pair have worked together for years when Mr Rudd was prime minister and when Ms Clinton was the likely Democratic presidential pick, before the rise of Barack Obama.

She has had to learn how to travel the world stage in her own right while also pushing her boss's message. That is something Mr Rudd now must also grapple with.

But Labor's message in minority government could differ from its campaign themes, according to a report in Fairfax newspapers. Ms Gillard has been reported as saying the hung parliament and the deal with the Independents means some "big picture" items promised in the campaign might be changed.

"Anything associated with climate change is obviously one where we're in a new environment," she has said.

Down under
The November talks will focus on the war in Afghanistan, trade issues and how to handle the relationship with China. Ms Clinton also added climate change as a topic to be tackled.

Mr Rudd has said our relationship with US is vital to our interests and also helps keep Asia stable. "So much of the economic growth that we have seen in East Asia and the Pacific in the last 30 years has come off the back of the strategic stability afforded to the region by the United States presence," he has said.

He has rejected a suggestion that the US should step back from the region to allow more room for China to flex its muscles.

Ms Clinton cancelled a trip to Australia in January so that she could focus on the US response to the Haiti earthquake. She will attend the East Asian Summit regional conference in Vietnam on her way to Australia.

Mr Obama also cancelled an Australian visit twice this year, so that he could focus on passing his health care package through the US Congress. The US ambassador to Australia has said those plans are now back on the agenda, but he could not say when the visit would happen.

Ms Clinton has said Mr Obama will visit next East Asian Summit in Jakarta. That could allow him to head to Australia on the same trip.

So Just what IS Lu Kewen’s idea of a “GOOD time” Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 is a much publicized Church going man of strong Religious spirituality and conviction, whilst he has usually been seen on TV news every Sunday Night exiting a Church with Madame Rein on his arm he has said that he could just as easily fall to his knees at a Mosque (should the photo opportunity arise) So Lu Kewen’s Religiosity really depends upon who is looking at any particular time.

The true Character of a man can be best judged by observing how he behaves when he thinks no one is watching him.

So what does Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 / Rudd do when he thinks no one is watching him? I know, I know ,what you are thinking “what Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 / Rudd does AFTER he goes to whatever Church he feels is best to be filmed walking out of every Sunday, by Australia’s main stream media and the Lefts taxpayer funded ABC / SBS networks is none of Australia’s Business……….

Powerless to stop an invasion of boat people

Piers Akerman
Daily Telegraph
Thursday, September 16, 2010

IN three swift years, the Rudd-Gillard Labor Government has destroyed Australia’s border security and reduced the asylum seeker issue to a deadly farce.

Former prime minister Kevin Rudd was responsible for putting people smugglers back in business when he oversaw a comprehensive relaxation of border controls in 2008.

The welcome sign for asylum seekers was well and truly written to order by current Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

Now, the secretary of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), Andrew Metcalfe, has been forced to write to his colleagues in other areas of the public service begging for assistance to help DIAC meet an “urgent and increasing demand for staff” to cope with the ever-increasing flow of new arrivals.

They are, Metcalfe writes, rapidly “approaching the point where we will not be able to meet the demand”.

While Rudd - in his new incarnation as Foreign Minister - jets off to grandstand in New York with the global United Nations panjandrums whose company he prefers, negotiations with East Timor over a possible asylum processing centre have been left to the Government’s newly-minted Immigration Minister Chris Bowen.

Only days into his new job, Bowen has essentially acknowledged that offshore processing is on the cards.

Though Labor would rather choke than pronounce the words “Pacific Solution”, the Papua New Guinea Government is already discussing the reopening of its Manus Island detention centre - oops, better call that an “asylum seeker processing centre” - and letters have been flying between Michael Sapan, Governor of Manus Province, and PNG Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare. Sapan has been arguing, quite reasonably, that the Lobrum asylum processing centre could be reopened and that it would be an economic boon to a severely financially stressed area of the country.

He evens dares to mention the Pacific Solution.

In the area of border protection, as in so many others, Labor has proven itself to be the party of gross mismanagement.

As shadow immigration minister Scott Morrison said yesterday, the level of seaborne arrivals currently in detention because of Labor’s discriminatory asylum freeze, and the extended taxpayer-funded appeals processes, have both contributed to a record detention population of more than 5000 people.

The numbers are staggering.

In September, Australia’s detention population included 4527 people who had arrived illegally by boat.

This compares to just four people in November, 2007. Under Labor, the number of those held in detention centres has increased by - wait for it - 113,075 per cent. So much for Rudd’s pre-election boast that he would turn them back.

My Daily Telegraph colleague Simon Benson revealed that of 6310 asylum seekers arriving in Australia in the past two years, only 75 have been rejected and returned to their country of origin.

The cost to the nation of Labor’s utterly shambolic approach to border security is now running into billions.

It’s also eating into other areas of critical importance to Australia. As Australia’s Chief of Defence Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston said earlier this week, key defence assets are so overstretched dealing with the incessant influx of boat people that day-to-day operations are being compromised.

The constant demand for air surveillance aircraft and patrol boats “means you sometimes can’t do other things”, Houston has admitted.

West Australia has become a dumping ground for asylum seekers. Labor has now admitted that it is expanding facilities at the remote Curtin air base to house boat people, and other possible sites at Laverton and Northam are being explored.

Local communities, such as the one at isolated Leonora, east of Perth, are finding that the boom which was promised as an accompaniment to its detention centre, has not eventuated.

Instead of local stores reaping the benefits, supplies are shipped from major operators in Perth. Resentment is growing as residents see detainees access benefits which the locals cannot afford, including fresh produce.

Liberal MP Don Randall, whose Canning electorate is home to a high percentage of immigrants, said there was a perception that the newly-arrived refugees were receiving better access to education and health facilities than long-established migrants.

“What do you tell a war widow who can’t get help with housing while recent arrivals are placed at the top of the list because of some obligation to a UN treaty?” he asked.

Meanwhile, at the modern District Court in the centre of Perth, four Indonesian crewmen who brought a boatload of Afghan asylum seekers to Ashmore Reef in June, 2009, are in the middle of trial which is set to run from two to three weeks.

Lorens Lapikana, Anto, Samsul Bahar, Anwah Abdullah, each with his own taxpayer-provided barrister and each with his own taxpayer-funded translator, have been appearing daily to listen as tapes and transcripts from their recorded interviews with DIAC officials on Christmas Island last July are played to a judge and jury. Two of the men had claimed to be aged under 15 but X-rays were taken of their wrists and a radiologist has testified that their probable ages were greater than 19, enabling them to be tried as adults. Though a number of Indonesians have been sent home without charge, probably to relieve overcrowding in the already stretched West Australian prison system, the jurors may decide to add these to the 48 currently serving sentences.

The cost of keeping them in jail serving sentences or among the 74 currently on remand, runs to millions each year.

Despite the claims that more illegal arrivals come to Australia by air, these crewmen are a reminder that boats have brought more people in than all the airlines in the past 11 months. According to Morrison, between July 1, 2009, and June 11, 2010, there were 5233 asylum seekers who arrived illegally by boat and just 541 asylum seekers who arrived illegally by plane (i.e. without visa documentation).

“This means almost 10 times as many illegal arrivals came by boat than by plane under Labor’s failed border protection policies,” he said.

“The vast majority of people who arrive by plane and subsequently make an asylum claim do so with a valid visa and full documentation, enabling their claims to be properly tested. The Government’s figures show that 5105 people who arrived by plane during this same period and subsequently sought asylum, arrived with valid documentation.”

Labor is in denial on its failure on border protection, despite the overwhelming evidence of policy collapse.

Its strategy was farcical and has proved to be, as forecast, unworkable. This is a crisis, a crisis of Labor’s own making. And it will not be solved while the Gillard Government continues to close its eyes to this fiasco.

Anyone who honestly believes that the Australian Labor Party’s facilitation of Islamic Colonization of Australia aka. Border Protection, is anything BUT a joint Criminal Enterprise with their Islamic / UN Partners in Crime, is more than a little too laidback.

Hundreds of thousands of Australian’s and Australian Families are sleeping outdoors,in Sydney’s all our other capital cities shop doorways, in cars, under bridges and in public parks or anywhere else they and their children can find shelter,the Rudd / Gillard Government elected in 2007 insists it has done all that is possible to remedy this appalling third world situation.

Yet Male Muslim Illegal Entrants, and a minority of Females and children,are been housed, fed and clothed, accommodated in Motels, given FREE Medical,Pharmacutical, Dental, internet access,cable TV,”culturally sensitive food” education, life long social security, subsidized public transport and anything else they demand of their new found Kaffir benefactors.

The cost of Labors Islamic Colonization by Stealth Policy is estimated at $80,000 per head per month so far 6000 plus, mainly Muslim Males have been imported into Australia as a result of the Rudd Gillard Governments “Border Protection Policy”

Australia’s  newly appointed “Idiot in Search of a UN Village in residence” former Australian PM , Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07, has just handed over another $40 million to our self declared Muslim enemies  in Pakistan, whilst on another of his “ Dhimmi Lick Spittle world tours” attempting to buy his way into the office of UN Secretary General.

No $40 Million for Australia’s mentally ill and homeless,our Service Personnel or their Wives and children killed or injured by Muslims overseas, but no shortage of money  and RED Carpet facilitation and fast track residence for those who say they are sworn to DESTROY us, to the tune of just under a BILLION Australian Dollars a YEAR Paid for by those the Australian Labor Party,the LEFT, HATES the most,the average working Australian family and all they aspire to and expect ANY Australian Government to ensure is its #1 priority, the Australian way of Life, not the Muslim way of life not the MULTICULTURAL , United Nations way of Life, the Australian Way of Life.

Australians Know who is Paying you Lu Kewen / Madame Gillard, but come clean and tell us who you and you and your fellow Comrades are WORKING FOR.

Koran Burning: Australian Diggers under attack in Afghanistan by Islamic Sociopaths Inc.for NOT Burning the Koran.

Diggers' 'Koran burning' sparks riot
Ian McPhedran From:
The Daily Telegraph
September 18, 2010 12:00AM

AN AFGHAN man is dead and relations between Australian troops and local villagers are on a knife edge following a violent protest sparked by a rumour that Diggers were burning copies of the Koran.
The soldiers were conducting a regular burnoff of rubbish and documents in a pit outside the secure blast walls of forward operating base (FOB) Mirwais in the Chora valley, north of the main base at Tarin Kowt, on Thursday when all hell broke loose.
Suddenly an angry mob of 100 local men was on the rampage and raining rocks down on the soldiers as they retreated back into the base.
Somehow word got around the village that troops were burning copies of the Koran.
"They were doing a burn in the pit and the suggestion spread that they were burning the Koran," a source said.
The dispute, just two days before local parliamentary elections, escalated from rock throwing when a man brandishing an AK-47 assault rifle allegedly aimed the weapon at troops in a guard tower.
An Afghan soldier attached to the Australian force deployed at the base used maximum force and shot the protester, following the army's rules of engagement.
The gunman was taken away before troops could check his condition, but according to sources he died from his wounds. No soldiers were injured in the melee.
According to intelligence reports the protest was sparked by the high-profile plan by American pastor Terry Jones to burn copies of the Koran outside his Florida church on the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
He backed away but was unrepentant yesterday.
The Department of Defence was yesterday unable to comment on the protest.
* NEW footage has been released of the battle between Australian and Taliban soldiers that ended with the death of Lance Corporal Jared Mackinney.

The five-minute video shows Diggers and Afghan soldiers pushing through canals and lightly wooded areas as they respond to an attack from the Islamist militants.
The August 24 video was shot by one of Lance Corporal Mackinney's colleagues through a camera strapped to his helmet.

Australia’s Socialist Labor / Marxist Green / Socialist “Independent” Coalition Government now housing their Muslim comrades / Illegal entrants in Motels… whilst hundreds of thousands of Australian Families are sleeping under bridges, in their cars and in cardboard boxes

How many illegal Muslim entrants have arrived by the boatload since the election of the previous Rudd / Gillard Socialist Labor Government in 2007 ? as of 15 9 2010 over 160 boatloads of illegal entrants have been permitted to land on Australian Soverign Territory by the Labor Rudd / Gillard & Socialist Labor / Marxist Green / Socialist Independent Coalition Governments. These Muslim “refugees” are from the Middle East many from Afghanistan,they Fly to Indonesia and pay up to $10,000 US to Indonesian based Middle Eastern Muslim people smugglers.

See how the Muslim people smuggling business works in the following videos.

After these Muslims are rubber stamped for residence in Australia and are granted life time social security medical education and housing benefits what is their view of Australians and Australian society and all the benefits bestowed upon them?

"The criminal dregs of white society colonised this country, (Australia) and now, they only
take the select choice of other societies, and the descendants of these criminal
dregs tell us that they are better than us. And because we are not elitists, we
tolerate them.(Muslims TOLERATE Australians) Yet they want us to assimilate, perhaps they will only become
satisfied when we each die our hair red, wear blue/green contact lenses, and
operate a fish and chips shop, otherwise, we would not be truly assimilating,
would we?
"As for those whose souls the angels took while still they were wronging
themselves - the angels said, "in what were you engaged?" They said, "We were weak
in the land." They said: "was not Allah's earth spacious, so that you might have
emigrated in it?" So for those, their abode is hell, and it is a bad destination."

Real Torture, A Real Man.

George Everett "Bud" Day

I got shot down over N Vietnam in 1967, a Sqdn. Commander.  
After I returned in 1973...I published 2 books that dealt a lot
With "real torture" in Hanoi .  Our make-believe president is
Branding our country as a bunch of torturers when he has
No idea what torture is.

"Bud" Day, Medal Of Honor Recipient

 
As for me, I was put thru a mock execution because I would not respond..
Pistol whipped on the head....same event..  Couple of days later...
Hung by my feet all day. I escaped and a couple of weeks later, I got
Shot and recaptured.  Shot was OK...what happened afterwards was not.
They marched me to Vinh...put me in the rope trick, trick...almost
Pulled my arms out of the sockets. Beat me on the head with a
Little wooden rod until my eyes were swelled shut, and my unshot,
Unbroken hand a pulp.

 
Next day hung me by the arms...rebroke my right wrist...wiped
Out the nerves in my arms that control the hands....rolled my fingers
Up into a ball.  Only left the slightest movement of my L forefinger. 
So I started answering with some incredible lies.

Sent me to Hanoi strapped to a barrel of gas in the back of a truck.
Hanoi ..on my knees....rope trick again.  Beaten by a big fool. 
Into leg irons on a bed in Heartbreak Hotel.
Much kneeling--hands up at Zoo.

 
Really bad beating for refusing to condemn Lyndon Johnson.
Several more kneeling events.  I could see my knee bone thru
Kneeling holes.

Whilst this American,George Everett "Bud" Day, was enduring these horrors,this Democrat Liberal Hollywood Icon, Hanoi Jane Fonda, was offering all the succor and comfort she and her like minded drugged fucked Hippy arse hole pals could muster to embolden and glorify George Everett "Bud" Day’s TORTURER’S.

  Madame “Hanoi” Jane Fonda seen here with her Comrades on a visit to HER teams front line.

There was an escape from the annex to the Zoo.  I was the Senior
Officer of a large building... because of escape...they started a mass
Torture of all commanders.

I think it was July 7, 1969...they started beating me with a car fanbelt.
In the first 2 days I took over 300 strokes...then stopped counting
Because I never thought I would live thru it.

They continued day-night torture to get me to confess to a non-existent
Part in the escape.  This went on for at least 3 days.  On my knees...
Fan belting...cut open my scrotum with fan belt stroke.  Opened up
Both knee holes again.  My fanny looked like hamburger...I could not
Lie on my back.

 

Hanoi “Barbarella”Jane Fonda

They tortured me into admitting that I was in on the escape...and
That my 2 room-mates knew about it.
The next day I denied the lie.

They commenced torturing me again with 3- 6- or 9 strokes of
The fan belt every day from about July 11 or 12th..to 14 October
1969.  I continued to refuse to lie about my roommates again.

“Hanoi” Jane Fonda hanging out with HER Comrades on a visit behind enemy lines in Vietnam.During this visit the North Vietnamese had American Airmen some 100 yards away, buried up to their necks listening to this Democrat “Beautiful  People “ hag denounce them and America.

Now, the point of this is that our make-believe
President has declared to the world that we (U.S..) are a bunch of
Torturers...Thus it will be OK to torture us next time when they
Catch us...because that is what the U.S. Does.
Our make-believe president is a know nothing fool who thinks
That pouring a little water on some one's face, or hanging a pair of
women's pants over an Arabs head is TORTURE..  He is a meathead.

Hanoi Jane Fonda demonstrating Hussein Obama’s Foreign Policy Position.

I just talked to MOH holder Leo Thorsness, who was also in my squadron,
In jail...as was John McCain...and we agree that McCain does
Not speak for the POW group when he claims that Al Gharib was
Torture...or that "water boarding" is torture.

Our president and those fools around him who keep bad mouthing
Our great country are a disgrace to the United States .  Please pass
This info on to Sean Hannity.  He is free to use it to point out the
Stupidity of the claims that water boarding...which has no after
Effect...is torture.
If it got the Arab to cough up the story about how he planned the attack on the twin towers in NYC ...
Hurrah for the guy who poured the water.

Australia: The Peoples Republic of Victoria, orders Australians to cover up so as to not offend Muslims.

 

Cover up for public pool event

Padraic Murphy
Herald Sun
September 16, 2010 12:00AM

FAMILIES are being ordered to cover up before attending a public event to avoid offending Muslims during next year's Ramadan.

The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) has approved a ban on uncovered shoulders and thighs for a community event to be held at the Dandenong Oasis, a municipal pool.

"Participants aged 10 and over must ensure their bodies are covered from waist to knee and the entire torso extending to the upper arms," a request by Dandenong City Council and the YMCA states in an exemption application to the Equal Opportunities Act.

"Participants must not wear transparent clothing."

A Muslim “Community Leader” talks to MTR Radio’s Steve Price

The request has been approved by VCAT and applies to a family event to be held at the pool next August.

"The applicant intends this to be an event where people of all races and religions and ages may attend, use the Centre's facilities and socialise together," VCAT notes.

"The holy month of Ramadan has a particular focus on families and the applicant wishes to encourage families to attend and socialise together with others.

"The minimum dress requirements are set having regard to the sensitivities of Muslims who wish to participate in the event."

The ban on skimpy clothes will apply between 6.15 and 8.15pm on August 21 next year, a time when the pool is closed to the public and normally used by a Muslim women's swimming group.

The ban was yesterday compared by the Human Rights Commissioner Helen Szoke to a ban on thongs in a pub.

"Matters such as this are not easy to resolve and require a balance to be achieved between competing rights and obligations," she said.

"Dress codes are not uncommon: eg singlets, jeans, thongs etc in pubs/hotels."

Sherene Hassan, vice-president of the Islamic Society of Victoria, said she didn't support the dress restrictions.

"My preference would be that no dress code is stipulated," Ms Hassan said.

But Liberty Victoria said the ban was reasonable because the event was to be held out of hours.

A spokeswoman for the City of Greater Dandenong said the ban would help Muslims feel part of the community.

VCAT’s ideology / agenda, can best be explained by the following attack by them upon two Christian ministers Here

Australian Judge Bans 14 year old girl from child marriage in Yugolsav Republic of Macedonia

 

Judge forbids girl, 14, to wed

Peter Mickelburough
The Daily Telegraph
September 15, 2010 12:00AM

A 14-YEAR-old girl has been banned from leaving Australia and has had to surrender her passport to save her from an arranged marriage.

Just days before the girl's father planned to whisk her overseas to marry a man she has never met, the Family Court ordered she must stay.

The Melbourne teenager is one of a number of Australian girls forced into arranged marriages overseas each year.

Her plight came to light when child protection officers received a report in June that the then-13-year-old had been taken out of school ahead of her intended marriage.

In a landmark decision published on Monday, the Family Court barred the girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, from travelling abroad until she turns 18.

Federal Police were ordered to place the girl's name alongside the names of accused serious criminals and tax cheats on the official Watch List at departure points around the nation.

Her family, who are believed to be Muslims from the former Yugolsav Republic of Macedonia, has had to surrender the girl's passport and cannot apply for a new one.

According to court documents, the girl had been interviewed by two child protection workers at her home while her parents were at work.

One of the officers said the girl told them she had been engaged for a month to a 17-year-old boy from another country but did not know what she felt about marrying him because she had never met him and had

only ever seen a photograph of him.

The officer said he formed the opinion the girl had not considered the prospect of having sex with her new husband or the possibility of being abused.

He said the girl indicated she had not discussed her feelings with her parents and did not know her mother's opinion of the marriage.

"It is my belief that it would not be in [the child's] best interests to travel ... to be married as she is a child and she does not appear to understand the consequences of marriage," the officer's affidavit concluded.

"Furthermore she would be deprived of a school education and she may be at risk of sexual exploitation and emotional harm."

Islamic Council of Victoria vice-president Sherene Hassan said arranged child marriages were a perverse practice not mandated by Islam.

"According to Islamic law a woman must give her consent to marriage without any form of collusion," she said yesterday.

"Sadly there are some Muslims that fail to discern [the difference] between culture and religion."

Australia: Libyan Government funding SEX assault case legal fees

 

Libya funds defence in Melbourne sex assault cases

ABC
14 9 2010

A Victorian court has heard the Libyan government is funding the legal defence of a student charged with sexual assaults at two Melbourne railway stations.

Police allege 27-year-old Libyan national Almahde Atagore has sexually assaulted three people since the weekend.

The magistrates court was told he approached a 21-year-old woman from behind on the escalator at Flinders Street Station on Sunday afternoon and placed his hand on her underpants.

It is alleged he did the same to a 13-year-old girl minutes later.

Atagore was also charged with indecently assaulting a 17-year-old girl at Mentone station on Monday.

His lawyer told the court the Libyan government was paying for Atagore's legal fees and would be keen to offer a substantial surety if he was released on bail.

Atagore was remanded in custody to appear in court again on Thursday.
