Muslim Insurgents in Sydney’s Occupied Territories, thumb their noses at Australia and our Laws……gee who da thought it possible?
Australian Muslim women choose to live by own code
The Daily Telegraph
July 23, 2011 12:00AM
WHEN Australian Muslim Frida Dakiz's marriage dissolved she was granted a divorce by her local imam.
The 33-year-old dress shop manager said it was only after she was officially separated by religious law that she considered secular options.
Ms Dakiz is among thousands of Australian Muslims living by a shadow civil code known as sharia law.And despite the arrests this week of three men who police allege carried out a sharia law punishment,
Ms Dakiz and 28-year-old friend Rebecca Kay yesterday said their traditions have a place in Australian society.
The sharia is the code of conduct in Islam and its applications cover marriage, divorce, inheritance and custody of children.
In May, the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils suggested in a submission to the federal government that small changes could be introduced giving Muslims "legal pluralism". They asked the
government to fund halal and kosher meat outlets and for state schools to have special sports uniforms for female Muslim students. Attorney-General Robert McClelland said at the time "there is no place
for sharia law in Australian society", and this week NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione repeated the sentiment.
Sharia law's more controversial elements - including polygamous marriages, relationships where one person is legally underage, and its penal code - ensure ample opportunity for clashes with the traditional
legal system.
Yet Muslims like Ms Dakiz and Ms Kay say if the police allegations are true, the attack is not consistent with their view of sharia law.
"Everyone in our community is shaking their heads, it is unbelievable," Ms Kay said.
"For moderate Muslims we take one step forward when something good happens and then 100 steps back when these sorts of things happen."
Ms Kay said sharia law covered only private issues that go to the heart of their religious beliefs, and is only used when all parties agreed to its application.
Religious courts should not replace the existing system, she added.
"It's not that the Australian laws are not good, it's just that we choose to live like this," Ms Kay said.
Ms Dakiz said she knew of religious marriages involving underage women in Melbourne, but not in Sydney.
Another Muslim woman, Ruba Naboush, 32, said she was aware of polygamous marriages in Sydney and that the women seemed happy.
However, she said she would not personally enjoy the arrangement.
Ms Kay said: "I'll quote from my husband. He said: Why would I want two headaches?"
Haset Sali, author of The Quran Simply, an English translation of the Koran, said it was an "unhealthy development" that some of the more extreme elements of sharia law were creeping into society.
"There is a small number of fanatics who are introducing it and setting themselves up as the custodians of the community," he said."It's most unfortunate that some people are trying to introduce a
sub-culture into Australia under the guise of sharia law."
Keysar Trad, from the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia, says there is support for some parts of sharia law like marriage and inheritance, but the penal aspects were not accepted. "Generally
religious people don't want to offend God, so they ask an imam how they can do these things in a religious way," he said.
The penal provisions of sharia can only be carried out in an Islamic state, with a caliph as head of state, and through a properly constituted court.
"It cannot be done through vigilantes," Mr Trad said.
He said that if the current allegations of a vigilante sharia law punishment were proven, it would be a crime against Islam - and a crime against the state.
"They cannot appoint themselves as a court, they have no mandate," he added.
This week, academics Ann Black and Kerrie Sadiq said Australia was right to act with caution when dealing with sharia law.
They said not all Muslims were registering their marriages and some were relying on religious ceremonies to validate unions that were in breach of the Marriage Act. This included polygamist marriages or
where one member was under the legal age.

The power of an Islamic leader, known as an imam, to settle disputes is not officially sanctioned by the Australian legal system, yet it is happening every day in Sydney's western suburbs. In May, the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils suggested in a submission to the federal government that small changes could be introduced giving Muslims "legal pluralism". They asked the
government to fund halal and kosher meat outlets and for state schools to have special sports uniforms for female Muslim students. Attorney-General Robert McClelland said at the time "there is no place

Man who had relationship with primary-school girl jailed for 10 years
Mark Dunn
Herald Sun
July 22, 2011
A MAN who claimed it was culturally acceptable for him to have a sexual relationship with a primary-school child who later bore him a son will spend up to 10 years in jail.
The 31-year-old, now classified as a pedophile, had claimed his cultural background meant age was not a relevant factor in choosing a wife or sexual partner, the County Court in Melbourne heard.
But in sentencing the man, who migrated as a refugee from a north-Asian country, Judge Lisa Hannan said his continued sexual relationship with the girl - from the age of eight until she fell pregnant - was
repulsive and defied morality.
The court heard the man, who was married to an adult at the time of the offending and already had a child, had an IQ in the bottom 5 per cent for his age group.
"Your conduct is abhorrent to anyone with even a shred of decency or moral compass,'' Judge Hannan said.
"Whether or not it may or might have been acceptable in any culture in any part of the world is irrelevant.''
The court heard the man, who pleaded guilty to charges of persistent sexual abuse of a minor and child stealing, had told authorities in his cultural background "there were no restrictions on age'' for a
relationship.
But Judge Hannan said the man knew he was breaking Australian law, that he initially lied about having sex with the child and attempted to procure an abortion before a baby was born in 2010.
"You knew what you were doing was wrong,'' the judge said.
Judge Hannan, in setting a seven-year minimum, said his "disgraceful desires'' had "robbed her of her childhood''.
Judge Hannan also disputed the extent of the man's remorse, noting he continued to try to justify his relationship with her - including saying he loved her "for real''.
"I do not think you are truly remorseful ... indeed you still seek to justify it.''
“North Asian” Man? so Australians are again been kept in the dark as to the origin of these “Multicultural” “Diversity” “ Harmony Day” “Cultural Enrichment” specialists, the Australian Labor Party is hell bent on importing into Australia every hour of the day, WHY?
Now what North Asian country would condone the Rape of an eight year old child ?……Thinking Thinking Thinking……ANSWER !!!!! . Any Country who’s citizens follow the teachings of the Koran.
What civilized society would consider a 10 year Jail sentence sufficient punishment the total and complete defilement of this poor girl ? “Progress” “New Age” Australia that’s what.

Sydney's Occupied Territories Sharia Law Flogging :Third arrest Zakaryah Raad.
Third man on bail in Muslim lashing case
Daily Telegraph
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/third-man-on-bail-in-muslim-lashing-case/story-e6freuy9-1226100012464
July 22, 2011 6:29PM
A THIRD man accused of whipping a Muslim man for drinking alcohol has been granted bail despite police claiming he threatened the victim and may have organised the alleged attack.
Zakaryah Raad, 20, faced Burwood Local Court on Friday over the incident at a unit in Silverwater in Sydney's west in the early hours of July 17.
Christian Martinez, 31, was allegedly restrained by four men who broke into his flat and lashed him 40 times with an electric cable as punishment under Islamic law, or sharia, for drinking alcohol.
The court heard Raad, from Guildford, was arrested on Thursday in the backyard of the Melton Street apartment block where Mr Martinez lived.
He was charged with breaking and entering, resisting arrest and detaining a person.
He was also charged with two counts of stealing and two counts of intending to influence a witness.
In granting bail, Magistrate Tim Keddy said he accepted Raad was at the apartment block to visit his boss, who also lived there, and not to "threaten, influence or intimidate" Mr Martinez.
Police prosecutor George Lolis told the court it would be alleged Raad had also attended Mr Martinez's unit block in the hours before the alleged attack on July 17.
Raad was "in a position to see the beer bottles strewn throughout the premises", Mr Lolis said.
Police would allege Raad played a key role in the "organisation and coordination of the males" involved in the incident and that he contacted Mr Martinez by text message and phone in the days following, Mr
Lolis said.
Mr Lolis said police allege this was "an attempt ... to have Martinez withdraw his complaint".
Raad's lawyer George Ikners told the court his client made the calls because he was concerned Mr Martinez had mistaken him as one of the alleged attackers.
Mr Ikners said Raad had visited Mr Martinez prior to the alleged attack and that Mr Martinez was "somewhat out of control" from the effects of drugs and alcohol.
"He may have thought Mr Raad was still there (when the attack occurred) when in fact he may not have been," Mr Ikners told the court.
Mr Keddy imposed a nightly curfew on Raad and ordered he lodge $10,000 for bail.
He was also told stay away from the Melton Street apartment complex and Mr Martinez.
Two other men charged over the incident were also granted conditional bail at Burwood Local Court earlier this week.
Tolga Cifci, 20, was bailed on Tuesday, while 43-year-old Wassim Fayad left custody on Thursday afternoon after posting bail.
But Fayad returned to the Burwood court on Friday to have his bail conditions changed after his parents refused to let him stay at their residence.
"He was informed by his parents they were not happy with him staying there," the court heard.
Fayad's lawyer requested that he be allowed to stay instead at a close friend's house in nearby Lidcombe.
Mr Keddy approved the change of address but upheld the other bail conditions, including that he not approach Mr Martinez.
The matters for all three men will return to the same court on September 14.

Madame Gillard unleashes Green “Goebbels” Loons loose on Australian Free Press
Greens want inquiry to consider Government power to force break-up of newspaper groups

July 21, 2011 3:58PM
THE Greens want Government powers to force the break-up of newspaper groups as well as the licensing of newspapers to be considered at a federal inquiry into the media.
Greens deputy leader Christine Milne today said the media convulsions in Britain around unacceptable privacy breaches meant it was "opportune" for an inquiry here.
"The important thing here is that out of the scandal in the UK there is an opportunity now for Australia to look at a number of issues," Senator Milne said.
"One is concentration of the media ownership for the print media in Australia.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard is considering the Greens demands for a full inquiry, but far that might be limited to discussion of privacy recommendations made by the Law Reform Commission in 2008.
Senator Milne confirmed the Greens policy is for the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to be given the power to order the divestment of media groups "where those mergers fail a media-specific public interest test".
"Let's see what an inquiry has to say about what the broader community think about the divesting of assets and the breaking up of some of these companies and controls of separate parts of the media," she said.
"I think the time is opportune for a broad ranging inquiry and I for one don't have preconceived ideas about what that might look like.
"But I do think the Australian community is asking questions as a result of this scandal in the UK and they have a right to now think about what that media environment might look like into the future."
The Greens have already said an inquiry should look at why there is "no licensing or independent oversight of major newspapers" - a bid for newspaper licensing by the Government.
The Prime Minister today was asked by Opposition Leader Tony Abbott to "put up or shut up" after she yesterday said News Ltd Australia had "hard questions" to answer.
News Ltd, the publisher of news.com.au, is related to News International, which is at the centre of the British upheaval.
"There is no evidence whatsoever to any of the practices, the reprehensible practices, that we saw at one newspaper in England have any currency here in Australia," Mr Abbott said today.
"The Prime Minister must specify exactly what those questions are and if she can't specify exactly what those questions are, what she's doing is just smearing a perfectly good organisation.
"Frankly, it demeans our polity for this kind of thing to go on. I call on the Prime Minister to put up or shut up when it comes to those sorts of issues."
Today the Prime Minister said the questions were "very simple" following the British events.
"And consequently it's common sense that having seen the kind of reports we've seen from the United Kingdom Australians would be asking themselves, 'Could that happen here? What does this mean for us in Australia?'
"Very simple questions like that."

Sharia Law Misunderstood AGAIN!!!! by Sydney Floggers according to ..... you guessed it Keysar Trad.
Keysar Trad explains its all been a terrible mistake, as it always is, thanks Keyser for putting it all into perspective.
Islam and Sharia yet again have nothing to do with the way Muslims behave.
The thoughts of Br Keysar Trad
"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."

Islam's man of a million comments
SMH
October 2 2002
Recent events have focused attention on Muslims in a way never before considered. Deborah Cameron profiles one of the Sydney community's leading lights.
Pink pickled turnip and little sprigs of mint tumble out of the pita bread as Keysar Trad hits the kerb in his big old Pajero.
He is taking a short cut between his favourite falafel shop and a cafe where the walls are lined with jars of honey and bottles of rosewater.
The wheel thumps hard. The four-year-old in front lets out a squawk. His wife, Hanifeh, sitting in the back with the two-year-old, tut-tuts at him driving, eating, talking and winding down the windows, more or less at the same time.
Pulling up at the Farouk and Chehade El Bahsa Sweets shop in South Bankstown, everyone is ready for the ice-cream which comes in about 10 colours. It is practically an insult to order one scoop of pistachio. "You must taste every colour," insists Trad, handing over a deep silver bowl and spoon.
Outside it is warm. Hanifeh, covered from head to toe in a long dark-coloured dress and headscarf, looks cooler than she probably feels. For a woman of 38 with nine children, no money to spare and a husband devoted to voluntary community work, her face is free of worry. She is even at ease with what she calls "Keysar's pet topic": a second wife.
![Trad and FAMILY_thumb[1]](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn44T3QkMri3ZlTVmpj-cOP_tgb3Otf7clPxyqnVelBRc9Q8LGDwzIpY1Hft-yfANAd53tRV9IUE-b1SEL6WVBznzuaE_OmYo7udiRTk9_pzswMcDCAaFvx57scNWSOV928YBK/s1600-h/Trad%252520%252520and%252520FAMILY_thumb%25255B1%25255D%25255B3%25255D.jpg "Trad and FAMILY_thumb[1]")
Trad is director of the Lebanese Muslim Association and, because the times have demanded it, an increasingly well-known community spokesman. He is a refugee advocate and translator, an essayist, a spokesman on political issues, a critic of racial labelling by police, a close adviser to the Mufti Sheik Taj el-Din Al Hilaly and a calm interpreter of Islam to the nervous broader community.
He gets frustrated with the association and has quit at least twice this year but returned out of a sense of duty and an instinct that it would revert to a "no comment" approach to the media which would be wrong at a time like this. Within his community he is criticised for publicly discussing refugees, Lebanese gang rapes and Islamic attitudes.
"They say when a Muslim speaks it is an admission that Islam has a problem," Trad says. "They say you don't see them filming churches when a Christian commits a rape or a murder, so why are you letting them come to interview you at the mosque? They don't realise that the media comes anyway. They tell me - just say "no comment" - but I have a million comments. They cannot censor me. I answer the questions sensibly and we have got nothing to hide."
TRAD and Hanifeh have been through a lot. They met in Lebanon when they were both about 22. They married after three weeks and she came to live with her new husband and mother-in-law in Yagoona. Trad worked at the Australian Tax Office while Hanifeh took English classes. "I find it hard to believe these mothers who cannot understand their children's language or who are dependent on their children for translation," she says.
Hanifeh, a law student in Lebanon, worked as an editor and journalist on Arabic publications in Sydney and studied computer science after emigrating. But when her fourth child was born, family took over.
It has not been easy and they remember 1998 as their worst year when Trad fell in love - "became obsessed", his wife says - with another woman. In desperation, Hanifeh proposed marriage on her husband's behalf to the other woman. "We were having a terrible time. He fell in love and I wasn't thinking about myself," she says. But his obsession passed. "He became more compassionate after it," Hanifeh says. "God meant for him to go through this experience and it made him a better person and more emotionally aware. It knocked him off his perch."
Hanifeh was not heartbroken. A second wife would have meant divorce (though he was against it) or living under the same roof as her husband's mistress. As long as the arrangement was fair and had the consent of all involved, it would be acceptable. Hanifeh loves her husband and the children, but says she is not strong enough, physically or emotionally, for more babies.
Aware that Australian law prohibits polygamy, they know a second wife could never be official. But their religion allows a man four wives and though a lot of what they say to each other about polygamy amounts to teasing, there is also a serious thread. It was Hanifeh who first raised it, approvingly, before they married.
Trad and Hanifeh say Islam is central to their values and the most important thing they can impart to their children. A strong set of beliefs is needed to resist society's temptations. Both were raised in large devout families - Trad the eldest son of his father's third wife, and Hanifeh a middle daughter in a family of 12 - and they have accepted the same model for themselves.
Trad arrived in Australia at 13 as part of a family reunion complicated by polygamy. His half-brother who had settled in Sydney got permission to bring his mother and siblings from Lebanon. Because his mother was married, she was able to bring her husband. At the time her husband was married to two other women. One of them (Trad's mother) came along, too, with her children. The older wife divorced her husband in Australia and the patriarch lived with Trad's mother.
To Trad's regret his father, in his 60s then, did not adjust. He could not find full-time work in Sydney. "Isn't it a shame for a grown man not to have a job," he would say, even as he neared death at 80. His father eventually returned to Lebanon which left Trad - as a teenager - responsible for his mother and the younger children.
After ice-cream, the family returns to the house Trad calls "the untidiest in street". In the lounge, three couches are pushed back against walls in need of painting. Bits of jute poke out of the plaster rubbed raw by chairs. A coffee table is laid with almonds, preserved green plums, sweet biscuits, glasses of cold delicious Lebanese cordial tasting like liquified quinces, and the baby capsule bearing the youngest child cooing and kicking his legs.
Trad is opening mail and wonders whether a letter from the council might be to direct him to mow the grass. Instead, it concerns the baby's immunisations. "Give this to your mum," he tells the four-year-old who has walked into the room prattling about The Simpsons and clutching a pencil case, two colouring books and an oven mitt.
In the same post is a statement from the Public Service superannuation fund. He reads out the balance which is tiny. "Money means nothing to me," he says. The family qualifies for low-income support. Trad is prepared for more years of financial hardship.
For the children, it means few toys and a scant wardrobe. "I can see when my son needs new pants but he doesn't talk about it," Hanifeh says. "The kids don't ask for too much." Hanifeh reads the employment section on his behalf, but one of the children put it well: "Dad doesn't need a job; he needs a miracle to make him rich."
The mayhem that comes with nine children in a modest house does not faze them. Even on a school day with six of the kids at local public high and primary schools, the three youngest are a distraction. Conversation occurs against a background of slamming doors, kids yelling and toys being dropped, with neither parent worried. They wipe runny noses and finish complicated anecdotes.
"Imagine if our children grow up with good values like we are trying to give them,"says Trad, "Imagine what great people they'll be for society. I have to make sure that they are positive, contributing members. I will be happy if their sense of social justice is very strong."
Trad's faith has had its phases. It was least strong in Lebanon when he lived among non-practising Muslims who rarely prayed at mosques and did not have access to religious texts. Arriving in Australia he was advised by his half-brother to keep quiet about religion, to be careful around women and to change his name. His half-brother went by the surname Wilson.
For the first few years Trad did not talk about his religion. "People could see that my mother covered her hair; they knew that I was Muslim but I couldn't talk about it because I didn't know where to begin," Trad says.
He was gradually drawn in, especially after a 1987 pilgrimage to Mecca with his mother that he regards as his spiritual turning point. After that he prayed five times a day on schedule, even at the office.
"I was adamant that if someone could take a five-minute break for a ciggie, I could sit at my workstation and pray for five minutes," Trad said. "I was on good terms with my boss and she said it was OK. Initially people made jokes about me headbutting my head against the carpet or by flicking rubber bands while I was praying. But they were my close friends so it didn't matter. It was nothing."
Trad resigned from the ATO at the end of 1998, the year of his infatuation. It was a decision with some familiar elements for anyone who has had a mid-life crisis or considered a sea change. A decade after his Mecca visit he wanted to do religious work. He travelled with his family to Lebanon for three months and returned home to write.
Known at the Lakemba Mosque as a translator, the Mufti asked him to take a more prominent role. Trad is a natural communicator in a community that is not blessed with them and, with his Public Service background, knows the limits in political debate. (When an Iraqi acquaintance once made a colourful reference to Jews, Trad ticked him off.) Instead of being suspicious and defensive with talkback callers, politicians and journalists, he is prepared to explain.
The Public Service also made him confront some of his practices - he cropped his beard and, after a debate with himself, started shaking hands with women. "I kept saying, 'Please don't be offended' but a couple of them were honest and said that they were offended. And I thought - do I really have to be so strict?"

A MUSLIM who allegedly broke into the house of an Islam convert and whipped him 40 times for drinking alcohol has "complete and utter disregard for the laws of this state", police say.
Tolga Cifci, 20, is one of three men accused of attacking the 31-year-old victim at his Silverwater unit on Sunday, Burwood Local Court was told.
The victim who converted to Islam recently was allegedly whipped up to forty times for going out for alcoholic drinks with friends.
The man awoke in the middle of the night to find that four men had broken into his bedroom.
As three men held the victim down on the bed, the fourth man is alleged to have lashed him 40 times with a cable.
Police arrested Cifci at his home in Auburn last night and he was charged with aggravated break and enter and commit serious indictable offence.
Police opposed bail and said Cifci put his religious rules above the laws of NSW.
Cifci's barrister Ertunc Ozen said his client did not have a criminal history and offered strict conditions which were "one step short of jail".
"Leaving all the emotion out of this, leaving the obvious controversy out of this and the Sharia law to one side, every offence if proven shows a disregard for the law," Mr Ozen told the court.
Magistrate Tim Keady granted Cifci bail but imposed strict conditions, including a curfew and reporting daily to police.
The Latest and The Usual Taqiyyah from the “Islamic Community” about “the vast majority of Muslims are insert Taqiyyah here….blah blah blah etc etc etc.
Is this Australia's first reported Sharia Law Flogging?
Muslim Flogging, I was right, Just another “Harmony Day” in Sydney’s Occupied Territories.

Wales Dodged a Bullet
In 1966 this woman’s parents immigrated to Australia from Wales, she became a “Student and Union Activist” in September 2010 she was appointed by the Greens Party and three “Independents” to the office of Prime Minister of Australia.
Julia Gillard and her Australian Labor Party are the true Casanova’s of Australian Politics, for they have well and truly FUCKED everything they have seen or touched.
She says she has never forgotten her roots, Wales, be Afraid, be very Afraid.
