Ethnic divide a rising threat, say senior Liberal MPs

AUSTRALIA risks becoming a nation of "ethnic enclaves" with meat slaughtered "in the name of Allah", senior Liberal MPs have warned.

Opening up a new political faultline, former immigration minister Kevin Andrews has lashed out at political leaders who fail to speak on the rise of extreme Islam, saying this silence contributes to the rise of One Nation-type groups.

Liberal frontbencher, Mitch Fifield, also warned of the danger of "parallel societies" as in Europe where hardline Muslim groups preach sharia law rather than Western values.

Their comments follow attacks by British Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on the "failure" of multi-culturalism in their respective countries.

Former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett also bought into the debate by saying migrants needed to accept the Australian way of life.

Mr Andrews described the British prime minister's comments as "fairly sensible" and relevant to Australia.

"I think there is a risk [of ethnic enclaves] in Australia," Mr Andrews said.

"What actually concerns me the most is that we can't have a discussion about it," he said, as he pushed for a public debate on the issue.

Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi has warned of a growing "cultural divide" as hardline followers of Islam turn their backs on mainstream values.

He cited Muslim-only toilets at a Melbourne university and the slaughtering of meat "in the name of Allah" as two cultural practices that should be opposed.

"I, for one, don't want to eat meat butchered in the name of an ideology that is mired in sixth century brutality and is anathema to my own values," Senator Bernardi said.

Their concerns were dismissed by the Government and the Greens, who instead want to focus on the "positive" aspects of Australia's diverse ethnic heritage.

Parliamentary secretary on immigration, Kate Lundy, said the "Australian community is uniquely diverse and we have a proud record of successfully leveraging the benefits of migration".

Greens' immigration spokeswoman, Sarah Hanson-Young, wants MPs to focus on the positive aspects of Australia's rich ethnic mix.

Please Sarah two names, and Kate Lundy please tell Australians just what are the positive aspects of Multiculturalism? apart from the Harmony Day Festivals,handouts and wimmins / ethnic collective co operatives,clearly YOU have not been gang Raped or bashed  …. yet.

Protesters riot in central Java town
Daily Telegraph
February 08, 2011 6:22PM
HUNDREDS of protesters have gone on a rampage in a town in central Java, burning down churches and schools and clashing with police in response to a sentence request from the prosecution in a blasphemy trial.
The violence first erupted in the Temanggung District Court yesterday when the prosecution requested a sentence of five years for Antonius Richmond Bawengan, accused of insulting Islam in relation to the distribution of flyers and books.
At least three Christian churches, as well schools, had been burnt down by the early afternoon.
Tear gas was used to disperse the crowd, but sporadic clashes between protesters and police were still erupting shortly after 1pm (5pm AEDT).
Bawengan is accused of distributing books and flyers in October last year which described the Black Stone, or al-Hajaru-l-Aswad, on the Kaaba in the Grand Mosque in Mecca as looking like a woman's genitals.
The material also described the jamarat, three stone pillars in the city of Mina just east of Mecca which worshippers thrown stones at during the Haj, as looking like a man's genitals.
Bawengan, who has been in custody since October 26, has also been accused of describing Islam as a cruel religion.
The crowd initially demanded he be handed over when the sentence request was delivered, but Bawengan was lead away from the court under heavy security.
Shortly afterwards, the protesters trashed the courtroom before attacking Christian buildings, including churches and schools.

Thank God it’s Indonesian “Interfaith Harmony Week” who knows what might have happened otherwise.Aheem, well there was this little incident two days ago where the followers of “One of the Worlds Great Religions” (Hussein Obama) “Islam has been a civilizing force throughout the world” (Hussein Obama) and  those  old stand bys “Islam means Peace” “The Religion of Peace” (any pig ignorant Liberal Leftist apologist and facilitator for the “Religion of Peace”) who got a little burr in their saddle and thought they should share some “Interfaith dialogue” “outreach” with some members of another branch of the “Religion of Peace”

A video is worth a thousand words.

Footage of deadly mob attack emerges
By Arlina Arshad
Daily Telegraph
February 07, 2011 8:57PM
DISTURBING video has emerged of a bloody religious mob attack in Indonesia that killed three members of a minority Muslim sect, showing extremists beating and stoning their victims to death.
The incident, involving more than 1000 Muslims who stormed a house in West Java yesterday to stop the minority Ahmadiyah Islamic sect from holding worship, has been condemned by the government and rights activists.
Footage of the attack - which came at the start of "interfaith harmony week" in the mainly Muslim country - shows police doing nothing as scores of Islamic fanatics go berserk with stones, knives and sticks.
Shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest) and "kafir" (infidel), the mob brush aside a lone police officer and launch a sustained attack on the house, as a small group of Ahmadis try briefly to defend the property.

WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!! Indonesian Islamic “Interfaith Harmony Week” celebrations in progress.

“….US President Barack Obama visited Indonesia and praised its "spirit of religious tolerance" as an "example to the world".

Note the second man at bottom left of screen is still alive. Hussein Obama claims Indonesia is an “example to the world” in its ‘spirit of religious tolerance” remember these poor men ARE Muslims,but they are members of the the wrong sect.

Defenceless and half-naked Ahmadi men are then shown being beaten and stoned to death in the mud outside the house. Their bodies are pelted with stones and desecrated as members of the mob laugh and take pictures.
Throughout the attack police are either absent or standing amid the mob doing nothing to intervene, with the exception of a lone police officer, who is seen attempting to stop people beating and stoning one of the dead men, but he is ignored.
National police spokesman Boy Rafli Amar said eight people are being questioned in relation to the violence but no one had been charged.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has instructed police to capture the perpetrators and "haul them to court if need be", his senior adviser, Daniel Sparingga, said.
"The president is deeply concerned and condemned the violence and said that the country must be firm in defending the constitution, that would never allow small groups to use religion to attack groups of different faiths," he said.
Ahmadiyah spokesman Zafrullah Ahmad Pontoh said the mob committed murder and appealed to the government for protection. Similar appeals have been ignored in the past.
"We're saddened because innocent people were killed. The mob committed murder and Islam never taught people to attack and kill," he said.
"We hope the government can provide us with protection so we can practise our faith in peace."
Indonesia's constitution explicitly guarantees freedom of religion and the country of some 240 million people, 80 per cent of whom are Muslim, has ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
But a government decree adopted in 2008 under pressure from Islamic conservatives bans the Ahmadiyah sect from spreading its faith, which includes the belief that its founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, was the final Muslim prophet.
Orthodox Muslims hold that Mohammed was the last prophet of Islam.
The group, which claims hundreds of thousands of members in Indonesia and millions in South Asia, has been repeatedly targeted with violence by Islamic extremist organisations.
National Human Rights Commission chairman Ifdhal Kasim said the incident was "embarrassing" as the police had made no effort to stop the mob.
"The police are biased and ignored their ultimate responsibility which is to protect the people," he said.
"The government has no right to make judgments on whether a religion is heretical or not. Its job is to protect the people."
The violence comes less than three months after US President Barack Obama visited Indonesia and praised its "spirit of religious tolerance" as an "example to the world".

"President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has instructed police to capture the perpetrators and "haul them to court if need be"

"haul them to court if need be" I think says it all , we have three people beaten stoned hacked dismembered and defiled and good ole President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono seems to think that there maybe other means of punishment other than facing trial in a court, Is arrest and charged with murder a last resort?

 How many more of these Godless Savages is the Australian Labor Party going to insist on importing into Australia ? and WHY?

Denmark gets serious with Pious axe wielding member of Islamic Sociopaths Inc.aka. “Religion of Peace”.

 

Mohamed Geele jailed for axe attack on Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard

From correspondents in Aarhus, Denmark
Daily Telegraph

February 04, 2011 11:08PM

A DANISH court has jailed a man for nine years after finding him guilty of attempted terrorism and attempted murder for an axe attack on a cartoonist who caricatured the Prophet Mohammed.

"Mohamed Geele is sentenced to nine years in prison and expulsion from Denmark for life," judge Ingrid Thorsboe told the court in the central Danish city of Aarhus.

The 29-year-old Somali "must also pay damages amounting to 10,000 Danish kroner ($1800) to Kurt Westergaard, as well as cover the costs of the trial", she added.

The court had earlier found Geele guilty of attempted terrorism and attempted murder for his 2010 New Years Day attack on the 75-year-old cartoonist.

Prosecutors had requested he serve 12 years in prison before being deported back to his war-torn homeland and banned from ever returning to Denmark, while the defence asked that he only serve six years and not be forced to leave the country.

 

Geele broke into Westergaard's home last year wielding an axe and screaming, "You must die! You are going to Hell!", according to the cartoonist's testimony in court last month.

Westergaard, who has faced numerous death threats since the publication of his drawing of Mohammed in the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten in 2005, said he escaped "certain death" by rushing into a bathroom-turned-panic-room to call police.

Australia: Multiculturalism weaves yet another magical golden thread into Australia’s “rich and diverse tapestry” of “cultural diversity”

Mass brawl closes Westfield shopping centre, Mt Druitt

By Katherine Danks
The Daily Telegraph
February 04, 2011
SOCIAL networking sites like Facebook helped tip-off police about a planned brawl in Mount Druitt last night.

Police intercepted online chatter between two gangs and learned of their plans two days before the pre-organised fight, Acting Assistant Commissioner Wayne Cox said.

Mt Druitt police also received a number of tip-offs from elders in the Pacific Islander community and called in the Public Order and Riot Squad, Dog Unit, mounted police and commuter crime unit.

Up to 100 teenagers and young men armed with crude weapons made with glass descended on the Westfield Shopping Centre about 7pm.
There were general scuffles and fights between individual persons or one person on six people or vice versa,'' Mr Cox told reporters.
There was a whole range of different incidents occurring at the one time. Police were able to pull those incidents apart and grab the main offenders and then arrest and charge them.''

The fight began over ``general insults'' traded between the groups, one of which is linked to Mount Druitt and the other from the Granville area. He said both groups have Pacific Islander backgrounds.
There has been some banter between the two groups in relation to insults being traded and this is obviously turned in to a ridiculous outcome for them,'' he said.

Mr Cox said police were waiting and prepared for the fight when it broke out. Thirteen people were arrested at the scene and police believe they will make more arrests after looking at security vision from the shopping centre
When you have large groups like that, they have that mob mentality where they really don't care about other people and that's why we were there,'' he said. We read the situation correctly and certainly had the resources to deal with it affirmatively.''

Police seized two baseball bats and a number of home-made weapons from the scene.
Those arrested ranged in age from 16 to 22 and they have been charged with a combination of affray, assault police and resist arrest offences.
One of the juveniles, aged 16 will appear in Parramatta Children's Court today, while three of the men, aged 20 and 19, will appear at Mt Druitt Local Court later today.

Australia’s Finest:"I MET this really amazing girl." Corporal Richard "Rich" Atkinson.

 

Love, loyalty and loss of our Digger Richard Atkinson

Gemma Jones and Ian McPhedran
The Daily Telegraph

February 04, 2011

"I MET this really amazing girl."

Corporal Richard "Rich" Atkinson had a shy "little boy" look on his face as he told his friend about meeting karate instructor and school teacher Dannielle Kitchen.

 

"He was cute, he had that cute little boy look on his face. He was so in love. I thought, 'This is the best thing.' They were perfect together. They couldn't wait for the wedding," his friend Stephanie Heazle- wood recalled.

Shortly before the 22-year-old was deployed to Afghanistan in October with the Darwin-based 1st Combat Engineer Regiment, Cpl Atkinson asked Ms Kitchen to marry him. The answer was "Yes".

His family said he was looking forward to starting a family.

But an insurgent bomb ended those dreams at 9.25am on Wednesday in a cold valley in Afghanistan, a long way from the balmy Darwin sunsets the couple enjoyed before he went to war.

One of his sapper mates from Darwin was badly wounded by the blast.

Ms Kitchen was yesterday devastated, along with his parents Dr Ross Atkinson, a Launceston GP, his wife Kate and their son James.

"We are just so sad," Mrs Atkinson said from the family's home in Tasmania.

Mr Atkinson said his son loved the army and had a real knack for adventure.

"He enjoyed being deployed," he said.

"He was just a lovely boy. He was funny. He loved playing sports. He was a much-loved son and a loved brother to James."

He was a family man who was very close to all of his relatives and was looking forward to coming home at the end of his tour about June to spend time with them in Tasmania.

The young sapper joined the army in 2007 and his natural leadership skills took him quickly through the ranks.

"He was a dedicated soldier with career aspirations," his family said.

"He shared a strong mateship with those he left behind in Afghanistan and all his mates in Australia. He will be missed by all and not a day will go by that he won't be thought of."

Mr Atkinson said the family was in shock and still battling to come to terms with their loss.

"We're just getting our heads around that he's not coming back. It's hard. It's all pretty unreal," he said.

Acting Defence Chief Lieutenant-General David Hurley said it was unclear whether the blast had been remotely detonated, but he conceded the area had become a "hot spot" for Australian soldiers.

"It's a difficult area for us, yes," he said yesterday.

Cpl Atkinson was the 22nd Australian soldier to die in the bloody war in Afghanistan.

Australia’s Ombudsman / Person / Mrs./ Miss./ ms. (enlightened being) Outraged over Illegal Entrant accommodation.

Whilst Australians fight for FOOD and sleep on the floor in Cyclone Yasi evacuation centers and wherever they can in the OPEN  in Queensland

Crowded house detention flaws

Simon Benson
The Daily Telegraph

February 03, 2011 12:00AM

THE Commonwealth Ombudsman will today hand down a scathing report into the Christmas Island detention centre.

During the two-year inquiry by Ombudsman Allan Asher's office, the number of detainees jumped from 32 to 2757.

"Christmas Island is overloaded," Mr Asher said in the report to be released today.

"There is little doubt resources have been sorely stretched as the facilities have sought to accommodate a continued increase in numbers.

"We remain concerned about timeliness in processing refugee applications, delays in security agency clearances and various health issues -

particularly those related to mental health."

While the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) was doing the best it could, the facility in its current form had become unsustainable:

"When Ombudsman staff first visited the Christmas Island immigration detention facilities in October, 2008, 32 people were detained there out of a

nominal operational capacity of 744.

"By the time this report was finalised, DIAC advised there were some 2757 people awaiting processing of claims, 2000 more than the facilities were

designed to accommodate."

The Ombudsman's recommendations included dramatically increasing mental health and general health services to the island. It also recommended

increased accommodation, education and recreation.

Australians are,as I write, fighting for food in Cyclone evacuation centers, sleeping on bare floors or under whatever shelter they can find out doors, I am sure these Illegal Entrants are unlike, those who pay taxes to support these illegals, well fed and are sleeping in warm beds.

Boo Fucking Hoo for Illegal Muslim Immigrants on CHRISTmas Island.

Mr Asher also called for community detention on mainland Australia for unaccompanied minors, families with children, and people who have received

positive assessments.

"Attempting to manage more [refugee applicants with] the existing level of resources potentially brings with it other problems," the report said.

Simple solution, a win win for Australians the Ombudsperson / Ombudsthingoh  and the illegal entrants, send the illegal Muslim entrants back to the Islamic Utopia they ran away from, that they demand be imposed upon Australia.

Problems solved !!!!!

Australia : Queensland,Cyclone Yasi evacuee’s forced to fight each other for food in evacuation shelters.

 

Evacuees fight over food in safe house while sheltering from Cyclone Yasi

Kym Agius
The Daily Telegraph

February 02, 2011 6:40PM

A FOOD shortage has gripped a Cairn's evacuation centre, with police and security brought in to calm ravenous evacuees fighting for Red Cross food parcels this afternoon.

About 2500 people have crammed into the makeshift evacuation centre at one of Cairns' shopping centres.

Food shortages, a power black out and a scary night ahead are feared as Cyclone Yasi barrels towards north Queensland.

The vast majority of these Queenslanders displaced and now living in evacuation shelters are not Muslims or illegal entrants,they are simply people who would call themselves Australians first second and last.

Can you imagine the outrage if it was discovered that Illegal Middle Eastern entrants who are presently colonizing Australia under the Labor /Green Loon / Independent Union Financed Socialist Minority Federal Governments open borders immigration policy were having to fight each other for food inside the Five Star Hotels the Australian Labor Party houses them in,in Queensland once they breech Australia's borders and demand citizenship.

Queensland’s favorite son Lu Kewan aka. Kevin 07 is presently writing cheques for any Middle Eastern / African despot who wants one in order to ensure his elevation to a temporary,2 year, seat on the the Australian Labor Party’s masters United Nations Security Council,no cheques for food for Australians however,maybe “Julia” or the “Real Julia” could throw a few crumbs their way after she and her fellow Socialist grubs finish their dinner.

Row upon row of people are lying in the food court of the Earlville Shopping Centre, in an area of the mall designated by owners, Stockland, as the safest to ride out Category 5 cyclones, with the expectation of winds topping 290km/hr.

Centre manager Paul Kelsey said they were only asked to open their doors to evacuees on Tuesday afternoon, and the thousands that have sought refuge have caught them off guard.

He said the biggest task underway is to coordinate food.
"We've all been taken a bit by surprise," Mr Kelsey told AAP.

"What we're actually trying to do now is feed people."

Only two of the centre's fast-food restaurants agreed to open, and lines were stretching more than 40 people deep.

Some hungry, or under-prepared, evacuees became quite cunning when Red Cross food parcels started being handed out.

The 50-strong crowd rushed and swarmed the volunteers slightly nudging each other to get their hands on food.

Police and security quickly moved in to bring law and order, and soon the ravenous crowd agreed to form two lines.

Only two pallets of food had been delivered for the evacuees by early Wednesday afternoon, Mr Kelsey said.

Woolworths has agreed to supply two meals per evacuee and it is hoped a similar agreement will be put in place with Coles.

Cairns City Council Mayor Val Schier said more food is on the way.

"I'm confident there will be enough food," she told AAP.

The defence force has 5000 ration packs, which will be distributed to the evacuation centres by Thursday morning.

Power is expected to be lost in the Earlville shopping centre, descending the area into a ghostly darkness as the cyclone rages during the night.

Sharni Neville said she's expecting the mood to turn to fear when the lights go out.

"Just the darkness and the noise," she told AAP.

She and her family evacuated their Edmonton, besser-block house at 8am.

"We just weren't confident at home," she said.

"It went through Cyclone Larry, so I'm not sure what was weakened, plus there's nowhere to hide in the house."

Ms Neville said the boredom is setting in and that has the potential to cause trouble, no matter how amusing.

She said one adventurous boy climbed into a very large toy-dispensing machine, the one you use the claw to win the prize.

As soon as the boy started celebrating his feat - from within the machine - police once again descended and rained on his parade.

"It was about 10 minutes of entertainment," Ms Neville said.
