You see everything, Lord. You know everything, Lord. Yet when I seek you it is so hard to feel You here with me. Lord, help me through this. I don't see any other way to get out of this. There is no light at the end of my tunnel, yet everyone says You can show it to me. Lord, help me find that light. Let it be Your light. Give me someone to help. Let me feel You with me. Lord, let me see what You provide and see an alternative to taking my life. Let me feel Your blessings and comfort. Amen.

"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"

Australia,Sydney’s Occupied Territories,The SLIME of Multiculturalism jizzed over both sides of politics, when you lay down with DOGS you wake up with Muslims and Multiculturalism.

 

The candidate, a 'radical cult' and $6m squandered on the college that never was

Natalie O'Brien and Alicia Wood
Daily Telegraph

February 27, 2011


THE family of Bankstown Liberal candidate Bill Chahine was involved in a controversial land deal with a school linked to a ''radical cult'' that ended up costing taxpayers almost $6 million dollars in compensation.

When the state government sold the surplus land in 2006, it thought it was selling to a residential developer, Gardenview Apartments. The director of the company at the time was Mr Chahine's father, Albert Chahine, and the Chahine family plumbing company, ABC Plumbing Services, was the ultimate holding company and shareholder. Bill Chahine is now a director and shareholder of the family's plumbing company.

Documents obtained by The Sun-Herald show that the NSW government eventually paid more than $10 million to buy back the surplus chunk of the Bass Hill school site, which had been sold to an Islamic college after it was secured by tender by the Chahine family companies for $4.4 million.

The state government has always refused to reveal how much it paid to claw back the property.

Copy of 27 2 2011 The candidate, a 'radical cult' and $6m squandered on the college that never was MEMO!!! Australian Liberal Party: When you lay down with DOGS you wake with Muslims and Multiculturalism.

A political storm erupted when it was revealed that Al Amanah College - run by the Islamic Charity Projects Association, which is linked to the controversial Al-Ahbash group - was the real owner of the site and planned to build an Islamic school for 1200 students.

The Australian National Imams Council, which represents almost 100 Imams around the country, has warned that the Al-Ahbash is a ''radical cult'' with ''sectarian fringe views''. Al-Ahbash has denied these claims.

A few weeks before the settlement of the school land, all shares in Gardenview were sold to Al Amanah, which reappointed directors. Gardenview then asked the government to register the land in the name of Al Amanah.

But following a community outcry about the proposed new Islamic school, the NSW opposition fought against the project.

While the school was initially rejected by Bankstown Council, it was later given the green light by the NSW Land and Environment Court.

The Department of Education then moved to compulsorily acquire the property on Johnston Road in Bass Hill, with the Valuer-General last year putting the market value of the land at $8,550,000, plus $1,479.333.51 for ''disturbance''. A total of $10,029,333.51 was paid on May 21 last year to the Al Amanah College as compensation.

Bill Chahine told The Sun-Herald yesterday: ''We tendered, I mean Albert tendered for the land, and due to contamination of the land we decided to sell our tender.'' A spokeswoman for Mr Chahine also said that it was the state government that had made a ''woeful'' deal and the Labor Party were trying to sling mud at him because of his early involvement. ''The government could have rejected the tender,'' she said.

A spokeswoman for the Liberal Party said there was ''a vicious smear campaign under way by Labor because it fears its control over south-west Sydney is being challenged''.

''The community has had enough of being taken for granted by Labor and its power-brokers like Eddie Obeid,'' she said.

The battle for Bankstown has been heating up, and there is no love lost between candidates Tania Mihailuk, Rebecca Kay and Mr Chahine.

Ms Mihailuk, the ALP candidate, is accused of trying to influence Ms Kay's hockey club to take her off promotional material, and Liberal supporters have allegedly sent Ms Kay threatening mail. One email sent to Ms Kay was signed by Liberal4btown, and said : ''I wouldn't talk much coming from a family that sells drugs just watch what you say when you speak or write to the media.''

The mail refers to Ms Kay's in-laws, the Darwiche family, who are known to police but have not been charged with any drug offences.

Intend on visiting France ? best to stay off public transport

Hey next time you are on a bus or train in some Western Judeo Christian Democracy that has imposed Multiculturalism and the “all cultures, Religions are equal ideology” upon you,just ask yourself why your elected officials and “progressive all wise all knowing beautiful people”,insist on importing into YOUR Judeo Christian Western Democracy, people who believe in the following.
The  Multiculturalist sitting next to you, may be silent and simply be behaving like any other citizen of your country travelling on a bus,train,tram,ferry or aeroplane, but what are they thinking about the infidel sitting next to them, YOU, your wife, your son, daughter,Mother,Father,brother,sister,niece, nephew ?
What is really going through their mind ? well as this video shows when there is enough of them on a bus they enunciate what they think via their “Multicultural” invocation to their Moon God allah.

Now how’s that “Harmony Day Festival” doing it for you ?


Those Darn Crazy “Militants” are at it again at Russian Ski Resort

 

Militants attack southern Russia city

Daily Telegraph

February 26, 2011 9:11PM

UP to a dozen militants have staged a daring attack on the capital of a southern Russian republic popular with downhill skiers and budget tourists, news reports reveal.

The overnight attack on Kabardino-Balkaria came a week after three Moscow tourists were gunned down in the area while travelling to the Elbrus mountain resort, which is one of Russia's most popular winter tourist destinations.

No one was reported killed in Friday night's strike on the republic's capital Nalchik, which witnessed grenades tossed at a local Federal Security Service (FSB) building and police posts come under repeated machine gun fire.

But the incident prompted a late night telephone conversation between President Dmitry Medvedev and FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov, the Kremlin said.

Highlighting the Kremlin's concern over the latest incident, news reports said that Medvedev's North Caucasus envoy Alexander Khloponin had taken personal charge of the investigation.

The Nalchik attack culminates a restless month in a region that until now has been largely able to avoid the deadly violence raging in nearby mostly Muslim republics such as Ingushetia and Dagestan.

Kabardino-Balkaria has been a popular destination with both skiers and mountain climbers, with its budget boosted by tourism revenues that continued to climb despite violence wrecking other parts of the Caucasus range.

But its ski slopes went empty on February 18 after two masked attackers stopped a minibus carrying six people on Friday evening and opened fire, killing three passengers instantly and wounding others.

A few hours later, an explosion targeted a ski lift in one of the Elbrus mountain resort areas. No one was reported hurt in that incident.

A message on Islamist website Islamdin.com linked to the militant group Caucasus Emirate said the tourists were killed for entering "the war zone".

Military officials initially claimed killing three militants responsible for attacking the tourists.

But subsequent reports said the suspected Islamists had escaped into the region's mountains, which Russian
forces have been pelting with artillery and aerial fire for much of the week.

Twelve paragraphs in total, with a headline of “Militants attack southern Russia city “,It’s not until the TENTH paragraph that the word Islamist is written WHY?

Why does the news agency,AFP,only want the reader to know the identity of the ASSASSINS to be known until the third last paragraph?

More of those CRAZY “Militants” and their hi jinks….

Madame Gillard Australia’s Shameless Socialist LIAR

Carbon tax the cost of duplicity
Piers Akerman

Daily Telegraph Thursday, February 24, 2011

LED by her Greens and independent partners in Government, Prime Minister Julia Gillard has now taken a huge step towards crippling the Australian economy and slugging individual Australians with her new carbon tax.
This is the tax that she explicitly promised not to introduce during last year’s election campaign.
In her own words, just five days before the August 21 poll, she told Channel 10: “There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead.”
In case anyone was possibly in any doubt, she repeated the line - “I rule out a carbon tax” - in The Australian on the day before the election.
Should Australians have believed her? Well, in her own words, election promises are meant to be honoured.
“I think when you go to an election and you give a promise to the Australian people, you should do everything in your power to honour that promise,” she told ABC broadcaster Jon Faine on March 20, 2009.
That was then, though.

Also Alan Jones exposes Madame Gillard and her Marxist Governments Road to Serfdom for her subjects.


The announcement of the carbon tax is just another broken promise and Gillard didn’t even get the chance to be the first to announce her own backflip. Greens leader Bob Brown put out a press release praising her stunning hypocrisy before she had had the opportunity to inform the people of her own mind-numbing duplicity.
Then, backed by Brown and his deputy Christine Milne and her own Climate Change minister Greg Combet, with support from the two independents principally responsible for putting Labor in office, Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor, she sought to dismiss the stupendous hypocrisy of her position.
It was, even by the lowly standards we have come to expect from this Prime Minister, a farce. Bizarrely, she attempted to compare her betrayal of the Australian people with the spectacular career of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, saying Gates understood change and had ridden the information technology revolution to fortune.
“This is the time to be pricing carbon and dealing with the change to a clean energy future,” she said.
Even more fatuously, she then added: “This is the parliament the Australian people voted for - you are seeing it on display in front of you. And we have to get on with the job of pricing carbon.”
She went on to tell parliament that “the Australian people had voted for a carbon tax” at the 2010 election. This would be news to all.
As Opposition leader Tony Abbott made plain during Question Time, only one political leader went to the last election with a plan for a carbon tax and that was Brown.
Just one politician campaigned for the introduction of a carbon tax, Abbott said. Meanwhile, 149 members ruled out such a tax.
“When does one vote trump 149 votes?” Abbott, justifiably, asked.
If Gillard’s horizons extended beyond The Lodge to an examination of the global marketplace, she would understand that nations around the world are currently walking away from the restrictions of carbon taxes in an effort to resuscitate their economies.
Gillard’s arguments for introducing this massive impost on Australians are hollow.
She is wedded to the belief that climate change is induced by human activity - a view certainly held by some, but by no means all, scientists.
She believes scientific views should be determined by consensus - a view which would have isolated all those who have relied on scientific proofs to support their theories.
She believes that people must be bludgeoned by draconian taxes into changing their ways, but she cannot explain how highly taxed Australians will be able to compete with trading nations whose economies have not been hobbled by Green-Left politicians.
Gillard has introduced her new tax on the basis of policy developed by her climate change committee, the same Green-Left and independent MPs whose political careers depend upon Labor remaining in power.
The committee, which has held just four meetings since it was set up last September, replaced another brain bubble Gillard had in the lead-up to the last election: A Citizens Committee to decide climate policy.
But overlooked in this cynical effort to buy the votes of the Greens and independents is the reality that, without a global agreement on carbon taxes, whatever Australia does is absolutely meaningless.
Just being among the first nations to sabotage its own economy is not going to change the temperature of the Earth, as much as the Green-Left may wistfully cling to their hopey-changey culture.
Labor’s traditional voters should be aware that the bare minimum increase they will have in electricity prices alone in the first year of Gillard’s carbon tax is estimated to be between $300 and $500. That does not take into account the additional increases that will naturally be triggered when industry adds the cost of the tax to their inputs.
Gillard makes no apology for this, claiming there will be offsets and compensation payments. But why would anyone believe anything she says or, worse, promises, given her appalling record of saying one thing and doing another?
Whether it is Gillard or her predecessor Kevin Rudd, the current run of Labor governments has a disgraceful history when it comes to promises made on climate change.
Under Rudd, the “greatest moral challenge” of our time was dumped like a dead and stinking cat as soon as the Copenhagen Conference crumbled into insignificance.
It is apparent that Gillard learnt nothing from Rudd’s mistakes. Worse, she has permitted herself to become hostage to a handful of MPs whose views are not those of the majority of Australians, Labor or Liberal.
The Greens attract little more than a token vote and have just one MP on the floor of the House. The independents have, by betraying their conservative electorates, earned nothing but universal disdain, no matter what Oakeshott may feel about the “new paradigm”.
Gillard’s broken promises on a carbon tax are nothing short of grotesque but her intention to impose a new tax without consultation through an election, as John Howard did with the GST, is pure treachery.
Last week the Labor Party’s own review of the last election warned of the dangers of placing too much power in the hands of a few.
It showed yesterday that it has not heeded the advice of its own elders - to the detriment of all Australians.

Allah is Dead “The focus of prayer and the object of pilgrimage and veneration is a black rock.”

 

“Allah is Dead – Why Islam is Not a Religion”

Why-Allah-is-Dead “In addition to being a hybrid, Islam is wholly materialistic. The Quran takes on an almost fetish character, where the book itself is “sacred,” not the contents. The focus of prayer and the object of pilgrimage and veneration is a black rock. The rewards for dying in the cause of Allah are completely material — virgins, food, and sensual ambiance. Finally, Islam is the only religion where territorial sovereignty is more important than the inner spiritual sovereignty over men’s hearts. Mankind and territory are divided between the world of “submission” and the world of “warfare.” Whereas Judeo-Christian religions focus on the righteousness of individuals, the emphasis in Islam is the collective –the ummah.”

Australians sleep under the stars as the Labor Green Independent Union funded Socialist minority Government spends $60,000 a NIGHT to house illegal immigrants in HOTELS

 

Asylum seekers' $2.5 million hotel bill

EXCLUSIVE by Simon Benson
The Daily Telegraph

February 15, 2011

A HOTEL bill of almost $2.5 million a month is being racked up by the Federal Government to house some 500 asylum seekers outside detention centres as it struggles to find a solution to the record number of boat arrivals.

The Department of Immigration has admitted paying $60,000 a night in November last year to house up to 188 people, mainly families, a total bill of almost $800,000, for a fortnight's accommodation at Darwin's Airport Lodge.

The figures reveal that, based on the leases the Government had in place at the end of 2010, the average cost across motels, hotels and guest houses around the country was $2.36 million a month.

The Government had previously refused to reveal the true cost of its alternative accommodation policy to house families and unaccompanied minors outside detention camps - claiming the contracts with hotels were commercial-in-confidence.

During one 13 day period - from November 10 to November 23, 2010 - the cost of accommodation at the Darwin Airport Lodge was $778,000, including GST.

The cost of flights to and from Christmas Island to bring detainees to the mainland also topped $12 million last year, for an average of $145,000 per charter for 83 flights.

Only last week the Government revealed it would need an extra $290 million this year to cover the rising costs.

"They have a financial crisis on asylum seekers of their own making," Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison said.

"This is a government paying five-star rates for roadside motel accommodation."

According to the documents, as at October 2010 there were eight motels, hotels or commercial accommodations housing a total of 461 asylum seekers, who the department refer to as irregular maritime arrivals or IMAs.

Refugee advocates claim that the perception that IMAs were enjoying a luxurious life by being housed in motels was ridiculous when some of the accommodation was no grander than a demountable camp. The majority of those in motels were families who were forced to live in small rooms with children for periods of up to six months with no cooking facilities.

The number of asylum seekers arriving by boat from war-torn regions abroad is at a record high, now total- ling 6200.

A spokesman for Immigration Minister Chris Bowen defended the cost of alternative accommodation, which was a humanitarian obligation to ensure families and children did not have to experience high security detention centres. "Immigration detention is expensive - whether it's onshore or offshore," the spokesman said.

QANTAS The Safest and Greatest Airline in the World. The Hero’s of Flight QF 32

Qantas 'hero' pilot retains faith in A380
Daily Telegraph
February 13, 2011
THE pilot of last November's Airbus flight from Singapore, in which the engine exploded, has declared the Qantas A380 aircraft "absolutely" safe.
Richard de Crespigny managed to land the aircraft after the engine exploded mid-air, resulting in more than 60 separate system failures.
"This is the biggest testament to Airbus. Some people might think the aircraft collapsed under the onslaught but no aircraft is ever designed to take the beating that this aircraft got," Mr de Crespigny told the Nine Network's 60 Minutes tonight.




"The wing was cluster bombed, the aircraft had phenomenal damage to all systems - and it didn't just recover, it performed brilliantly. It is indestructible."
Just minutes into the QF32 flight from Singapore on November 4 of last year there was a small oil leak in the intermediate pressure turbine of engine number two.
The oil ignited causing a turbine disk to explode at high speed.
Two pieces smashed through the wing severing the plane's controls while a third did the same underneath the plane.
"Electrically the left hand side of the aircraft was dead. We'd lost 50 per cent of the hydraulics system. The brakes underneath the wings were reduced to 30 per cent braking conditions," he said.
The pilot has been praised for his cool head as he managed to land the plane under these conditions.
"I think it was my finest moment, I think I should give up aviation now and leave on a high because I think it was a good landing under tough conditions," he said.
Mr de Crespigny has been flying with Qantas for 25 years and before that was a pilot with the Airforce.
"I'm so confident that there is nobody in this world who knows that aircraft better than Rich," his wife Coral de Crespigny said.
Ms de Crespigny didn't know about the incident until after her husband was safely on the ground and she got a call from his boss at Qantas.
"He said I need to tell you that Richard's safe and he's on the ground and I said why are you telling me this.
"He said there's been an incident so I immediately turned on the news and I saw that wasn't...well I assumed there had been a crash.
"I'm just so glad he didn't stuff up that landing," she said.
Mr de Crespigny doesn't like being deemed a hero as he said he was just doing his job and was supported by an extraordinary crew with lots of experience.
"I would ultimately be responsible if people died and I am so proud of everyone and all the teams that helped out. I was proud to be in command of that aircraft," he said.
The pilot said that he didn't think an airbus aircraft had ever been challenged as much as this one.
"I think a Rolls Royce engine has never failed so spectacularly... there was so much collateral damage....it was a flight that you could never train for.
"You might practice one or two emergencies, not 60," he said.
Qantas is now completely confident Rolls Royce has fixed the engine fault on the jet.
QANTAS It ain’t perfect,and does not pretend to be, but when the shit hits the fan I know what Airline I would want to be flying on, God bless this Captain and his crew of no nonsense no BS Aussies, thinking clearly, with nothing on their minds other than saving the lives of their passengers and landing safely. Mission accomplished.
