Australia: Muslim women Lawyers decry “….ugly interpretations of Islam” & “…..media attention is disproportionate,” yatta yatta yatta blah blah blah, the usual BS/Taqiyyah from “the usual suspects”

Hoodlums who happen to be Muslim have no respect for Islam

Randa Abdel-Fattah and Mariam Veiszadeh
The Daily Telegraph

August 15, 2011

THE recent case of the Muslim men accused of lashing another Muslim in his home is still to be decided by the courts but early reports suggest that Islam was once again hijacked and used as justification for criminal behaviour.

 

As lawyers and as Muslims, we find it reprehensible when Islamic jurisprudence is appropriated by backyard thugs whose actions show an utter contempt and arrogant disdain for the ethical, moral and reasonable principles that underlie Islamic theology.

The majority of Muslims are fed up with a minority who are content to manufacture ugly interpretations of Islam, which are far removed from the compassionate and just jurisprudential legacy we have inherited. Unfortunately, we live in a society where very few people make a distinction between the teachings of a faith and the myriad interpretations and distortions such teachings can produce.

We are also fed up with the media highlighting every criminal or stupid act by somebody who happens to be Muslim. There are more than 300,000 Muslims in Australia and while the vast majority are law-abiding, they stand accused alongside every Muslim who has a run-in with the law. The media attention is disproportionate, leaving the grossly unfair impression that the majority of Muslims are on the wrong side of the law.

The Muslim community is as diverse and eclectic as any community which broadly falls under a religious category and individual actions should not be extrapolated to a judgment about an entire faith community.

For every outrageous false claim made by a Muslim in the name of Islam, whether to justify misogyny, brutality or ideological divisions, there are countless Muslims - lay people, scholars, academics, community workers, activists, professionals, students - countering such ugliness.

We are not here to defend badly behaved Muslims. To such Muslims we say you should be held to account if necessary.

As Muslim women, as lawyers, as Australians, we have this message: there is no fundamental or intrinsic incompatibility between Islam and democracy.

We also say this: fears about the criminal code of sharia having a place in Australia are generated by sensationalist scaremongering. The criminal code is barely implemented in Muslim majority countries so any such debate is a moot point. That some might seek to justify their behaviour on the basis of sharia does not mean their actions are a true reflection of sharia law or that sharia law is coming to Australia. To be a good Muslim and a good Australian are one and the same thing. A life devoted to Islam's ethical and moral principles means a person will strive to have integrity, be law-abiding and embrace civic responsibilities.

Let us name criminal behaviour for what it is and not grace it with any religious labels.

Lawyer helps 96yo facing immigration battle

ABC

Updated August 12, 2011

An immigration lawyer in Sydney has offered to provide pro bono services to a 96-year-old woman who is fighting to stay in the country.

British citizen Gladys Jefferson has been living with her only surviving family in Northern Tasmania on a tourist visa and was refused a permanent migrant visa last week.

Immigration lawyer Ray Turner says Mrs Jefferson should have been granted the visa, because the $52,000 in fees and surety it requires would ensure she would not be a burden on Australian taxpayers.

Mr Turner says he is appalled her application was rejected.

"I didn't think we were a country that would put up artificial hurdles in the way of a 96-year-old woman who simply wanted to spend her remaining time with her family."

The Immigration Minister, Chris Bowen, says there are no plans to deport Mrs Jefferson at present.

But her family will have to appeal the Immigration Department's decision to refuse Mrs Jefferson a visa if she is to remain in the country legally.

Australian Government makes it clear who they prefer as citizens “British man faces deportation over fare evasion conviction”

British man faces deportation over fare evasion conviction

Robyn Ironside
The Courier-Mail

August 13, 2011 12:00AM

IN THE old days, they sent convicts from Britain to Australia for petty offences such as stealing a cow or break and enter.

Now, we're set to send a hard-working engineer back to Britain over a $2.65 train fare.

 

 

Wrong Colour, Wrong Religion and clearly not violent enough for the Australian Labor Party to live in Australia.

Mark Littler, 30, faces deportation after being convicted for fare evasion when he claimed his faulty go card did not work on a trip from Morningside station to Fortitude Valley.

Mr Littler, who does not hold an Australian passport, could be returned to Britain if the Immigration Department reacts to the conviction.

This comes despite examples when more serious crimes have not attracted the same result.

In September 2009, Gold Coast sisters who bashed two tourists at Surfers Paradise received 18 months' probation and no conviction, while a series of crimes against animals, including dragging horses behind cars and killing family pets, have not attracted convictions.

Mr Littler fought the $200 fine for fare evasion because he believed he was acting in "good faith" when he reported his go card as faulty to a transit officer on board a train on December 12, 2009.

In May this year, Magistrate Brian Hine not only upheld the fine but recorded a conviction against Mr Littler, putting his hopes of gaining permanent residency in Australia in doubt.

His advice from Immigration was that a conviction for fare evasion would be regarded as a "minor fraud offence" and could affect his chances of remaining in Australia.

An Immigration spokesman said each application was considered on a "case-by-case" basis, but he conceded it was not helpful to have a criminal conviction.

In his ruling, Mr Hine said without proof, a conviction would "materially affect his application" but he saw no reason not to record one.

Mr Littler is now taking legal action in the Brisbane District Court against Transport and Main Roads in the hope of having the decision reversed.

In documents filed in court, Mr Littler said he brought his faulty go card to the attention of a transit officer at the earliest opportunity after boarding a train at the unstaffed Morningside station to travel to Fortitude Valley for his work Christmas party.

"She advised me that she would have to give me a warning," Mr Littler said.

"I was however in disagreement as my go card would not tag on. Therefore I was not evading the ($2) fare, I was acting in good faith."

But Magistrate Hine found that under the Transport Operations Act, Mr Littler had broken the law.

"I'm not satisfied that it is a reasonable excuse for a passenger to board a train knowing that they have not paid the fare, even if they are unable to use a faulty go card in their possession," ruled Mr Hine.

Queensland Law Society criminal law specialist Glen Cranny said under the Penalties and Sentencing Act, magistrates were supposed to take into account the impact of recording a conviction on a person's economic and social wellbeing.

"Often times though, these things are not properly explained to the magistrate," Mr Cranny said.

There are many more serious cases in which convictions have not been recorded. Two 17-year-olds escaped conviction in April for pelting a homeless woman with eggs and recording the act on their phone.

A month earlier, Andrew Christopher Cook, 33, and his 17-year-old son walked free after pleading guilty to dragging a pony behind a car.

No convictions were recorded.

Last year a gang who stole thousands of dollars from Brisbane parking meters had no convictions recorded, until prosecutors appealed.

And in September 2009, Gold Coast sisters who bashed two tourists at Surfers Paradise maintained a clean record when they were given 18 months' probation and no convictions.

 

Wrong Colour,Wrong Religion,and worse still he works for a living simple as that, what self respecting Labor /Green Loon / Independent, Union /GetUp funded
Minority Coalition Australian Government would want such an individual living in Australia, who knows what damage he could do. 

The Australian Labor Party and their fellow Leftist Multicultural Groupies have shown Australians who they want Living / Colonizing Australia.

Migrant thug avoids deportation

Mark Buttler
Herald Sun

August 13, 2011

A STUDENT who attacked two women in the street avoided deportation because he passed a character test.

One victim told a court she found herself on the ground with the attacker's fist raised above her.

The man, a Bangladeshi, 29, was carrying a knife when he was arrested less than a week after arriving on a student visa.

Federal authorities said he could not be deported because he did not fail the nation's character test.

He is living in Melbourne's western suburbs.

When he faced Sunshine Magistrates' Court last month he was placed on a 12-month community-based order on charges of robbery, possessing a controlled weapon without an excuse and theft.

He was also ordered to complete an anger management course. No conviction was recorded.

The victim was walking to Albion railway station at peak hour when the man approached from behind, grabbed her by the shoulder and punched her to the ground as he tried to snatch her handbag.

"When I was on the ground, he still tried to steal my bag, and he then raised his fist to try and punch me. Once he did this, I did not resist and he took my bag," the woman said.

"(It) was absolutely horrendous and frightening - as it happened in proximity of my street, and also happened in peak hour."

The victim said police told her they expected the man to be deported.

"But it does not surprise me that this has not occurred," she said.

"It appears that you need to commit murder in Australia before that is considered. I think it's pathetic that this man who has terrorised hard-working Australians is allowed to remain in this country, but again ... it's not surprising."

The other victim also lost her handbag to the thief near Albion railway station two days earlier.

Victoria Police confirmed it had moved to have the man's visa cancelled.

"As part of the investigation and court proceedings, Sunshine CIU detectives applied to the Department of Immigration for the offender to be deported," a police spokeswoman said

An Immigration spokesman said that among reasons for failing the character test were having a substantial criminal record, such as being sentenced to a year's jail or more.

Climate change - Labor believes the end is nigh

Neil Keene

The Daily Telegraph
August 05, 2011

FIRST it was floods and famine, now it is disease that the ALP says will get us if we don't stop climate change.

Minister for Human Services Tanya Plibersek's prediction this week that global warming would wipe out the Great Barrier Reef, Kakadu and much of Australia's food supply earned her the unofficial title of prophet of doom.

But she might have a worthy deputy in Western Sydney MP David Bradbury. In a recent statement, Mr Bradbury warned that climate change would result locally in an outbreak of serious disease.

"Without taking action, Australia is expected to experience higher rates of infectious and vector-borne diseases as well as food and waterborne diseases," he said.

Vector-borne diseases currently in Australia include dengue fever, malaria and Ross River fever.

Ironically, Mr Bradbury was speaking at the time to protest against what he described as the Coalition's "scaremongering" tactics.

Yesterday, Mr Bradbury said a range of scientific bodies had highlighted the impacts of climate change on human health, including the World Health Organisation and the Australian Medical Association.

Liberal senator for Western Sydney Marise Payne said Mr Bradbury should be more concerned about the immediate effects of a carbon tax on his local community.

"If what Mr Bradbury is saying is not scare tactics, I don't know what is," the Liberal Senator said.

The Coalition claims soaring electricity prices will cost Nepean Hospital $150,000-$300,000 more a year.

"The implications of the carbon tax cannot be blithely wiped aside," Ms Payne said.

"It means three nursing professionals or three other medical professionals on the ground and assisting patients at Nepean Hospital."

Australian Medical Association president Steve Hambleton said the extreme weather events caused by climate change could increase the risk of disease, particularly with flooding and waterborne illness.

Bradbury bites back

Federal Member for Lindsay, David Bradbury, today accused State Member for Penrith, Stuart Ayres, of using dodgy figures to exaggerate the effects of carbon pricing on the health care system.
“Stuart Ayres will not reveal the details of the modelling he relies upon because he is using dodgy figures to create fear about the impact of the carbon price.” Mr Bradbury said.
In a statement today, Mr Bradbury's office said Treasury modelling indicates that the impact of a carbon price on the cost of hospital and medical services will be minimal – around 0.3% based on a $23 carbon price.
“Failing to act on Climate Change will come at a greater cost to the health system overtime.” Mr Bradbury said.
“Without taking action, Australia is expected to experience higher rates of infectious and vector-borne diseases as well as food and water borne diseases.
“If Stuart Ayres is serious about delivering better health services, he should spend less time on opportunistic media stunts about Federal issues and more time explaining to the nurses and paramedics of Nepean Hospital why his Government is stripping away their pay and conditions."
100 public sector workers rallied in protest outside Mr Ayres’ office this week, representing the 12,000 public sector workers who live and work in Penrith and surrounding areas.
“Stuart Ayres should leave the media stunts on Federal issues to Tony Abbott and instead explain to our local public sector workers why his Government is taking away their rights," Mr Bradbury said.

Row over pub use in Muslim woman's soccer case

 

GARETH PARKER,
The West Australian

August 4, 2011, 3:00 am

WA soccer is at the centre of a discrimination row after governing body Football West insisted that a disciplinary hearing involving a female Muslim player be held at a Perth pub last night.

Noranda Wolves player Hanan Anwan, 22, was given a red card and sent off during a Division 1 State Women's League match against Cockburn City on July 17 after an incident she and coach Gordon Doutre claim was sparked when the opposition goalkeeper attempted to pull off her religious headdress.

Ms Anwan, an Australian-born Muslim and former Wolves' best and fairest player, wears a head scarf during matches in accordance with her Islamic faith.

Ms Anwan, a teacher at a Perth Christian school, was sent off by the referee for "violent conduct", defined under soccer's laws as "excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for

the ball".

The referee's report, which Ms Anwan does not dispute, says she shoved the Cockburn goalkeeper to the ground.

In addition to an automatic one-match ban for a red card, Football West imposed an extra match ban for "violent conduct", a decision Noranda sought to appeal against.

No penalty was enforced against the Cockburn goalkeeper.

But Football West's insistence the appeal be heard at the Inglewood Hotel has touched off claims of insensitivity towards the religious belief of Ms Anwan, who has never been to a hotel or consumed

alcohol.

"It's turned from a red card into a completely different issue," Ms Anwan said. "Something as simple as me just wanting to appeal against my red card so I don't have to miss games has turned into, I don't

know what you would call it … racist issue? A discrimination issue? I don't know."

Mr Doutre said the decision flew in the face of international body FIFA's programs to promote tolerance and diversity.

"I think FIFA, the (international) governing body, would be absolutely ropable about this, to find that a governing body that is representing them in WA is behaving like this."

On Monday, Noranda club secretary Erika Blake tried to have the hearing shifted to another venue on the grounds of cultural insensitivity.

The reply from Football West general manager of competitions and operations Keith Wood said in part: "(W)e understand your point but we live in a country and society in which the consumption of alcohol

is permitted and part of Australian culture."

Ms Anwan said she was considering taking the matter to the Equal Opportunity Commission.

Mr Doutre said the club would "back her 100 per cent".

Last night, Football West chief executive Peter Hugg stood by the decision, saying the hearing was in a function room and Ms Anwan could enter the room without walking through the hotel's bar.

"It's not as if we're making her drink, or making her walk through the bar - she doesn't need to go anywhere near it," he said.

"If someone wants to make a discrimination case of this it's a shame, but we don't believe it to be and we don't think we're acting insensitively."

Labor MP Ljiljanna Ravlich, who was contacted by Mr Doutre, said Football West was being "bloody minded". "There should be no racism in sport and this has a touch of discrimination, about it," she said.

'It's not as if we're making her drink, or making her walk through the bar.' " FOOTBALL WEST'S PETER HUGG

Islam / Muslims can ONLY exist as a Disruptive Minority or as an Oppressive Majority......there is 1400 years of history to prove it.

"There should be no racism in sport and this has a touch of discrimination, about it," BTW What Race is Islam again?

Family promises to kill teen lovers

The West Australian

August 2, 2011, 8:11 am

Young love has landed two teenagers in trouble, with the girl's uncle visiting her in jail to promise that her family will kill her.

Set in Afghanistan, it is a love story that could result in a tragic ending for teenagers Halima Mohammedi and her boyfriend Rafi Mohammed.

"The two teenagers met inside an ice-cream factory through darting glances before roll call, murmured hellos as supervisors looked away and, finally, a phone number folded up and tossed discreetly onto

the workroom floor," The New York Times reported.

Maybe they will just beat her with a stick instead of killing her,you know to demonstrate the mercy of Islam.

"(Last) month, a group of men spotted the couple riding together in a car, yanked them into the road and began to interrogate the boy and girl.

"An angry crowd of 300 surged around them, calling them adulterers and demanding that they be stoned to death or hanged.

"When security forces swooped in and rescued the couple, the mob's anger exploded. They overwhelmed the local police, set fire to cars and stormed a police station six miles from the centre of Herat,

raising questions about the strength of law in a corner of western Afghanistan and in one of the first cities that has made the formal transition to Afghan-led security."

The Times said the riot last hours and resulted in the death of one man, a burnt police station, and juvenile detention for the two young lovers.

"Officially, their fates lie in the hands of an unsteady legal system. But they face harsher judgments of family and community," The Times said.

"Ms Mohammedi's uncle visited her in jail to say she had shamed the family, and promised that they would kill her once she was released.

"Her father, an illiterate labourer who works in Iran, sorrowfully concurred. He cried during two visits to the jail, saying almost nothing to his daughter.

"Blood, he said, was perhaps the only way out."

Her father, Kher, urged the government to kill both of the 17-year-olds.

"The teenagers, embarrassed to talk about love, said plainly that they were ready for death. But they were baffled by why they should have to be killed," The Times said.

A stoning ordered by the Taliban last year resulted in the death of two lovers who had eloped.

"The stoning marked a brutal application of Shariah law, captured on a video recording released online months later," The Times reported.

A provincial council has decided that Halima and Rafi deserve the government's protection "because neither was engaged, and because each said they wanted to get married".

Saudi prince affair - gay man's reprieve

Paul Tatnell
The Daily Telegraph

August 02, 2011 12:00AM

A MAN who claims to have been paid for sex by a Saudi prince has escaped immediate deportation because he fears he will be persecuted for being homosexual.

The Refugee Review Tribunal has been ordered to reconsider giving a visa to the man, who cannot be named, after first rejecting his tale of huge payments and months of secret royal liaisons.

Homosexuality is banned in Saudi Arabia and men have been jailed, lashed and reportedly executed.

The man has applied for a protection visa, claiming that because of his sexuality he fears his family's wrath and persecution from his community in Lebanon.

Court documents say that the man said he left his boyfriend in 2008 and travelled to Saudi Arabia because "the Saudi prince liked him very much". He said the prince arranged a visa and paid for his travel

and they had sex "in return for financial and material support".

But the deal went sour when the man was booted from the country after he was sprung having an affair with a friend of the prince.

The man fled to Melbourne where he frequented gay nightclubs.

Evidence tendered on his behalf included a reference from the prince, which his lawyers said showed that "he loved (the man) so much".

But the Immigration Department found the man's claims to fear persecution in Lebanon were undermined by "multiple inconsistencies" in his evidence about his employment, his first homosexual

relationship and his circumstances just before his travel to Saudi Arabia.

The tribunal also doubted the man's allegations, refusing to accept that he "was in a homosexual relationship with the prince or one of his friends". It even doubted the man was gay.

But the Federal Magistrates' Court ruled the tribunal erred in its decision to deny the man a visa because it failed to raise its doubts about his sexuality and affair with the prince during its questioning.

Australia: Socialism taking hold strangling the Nation

Gillard and friends move from GetUp to shut up

James Allan
The Australian

July 28, 2011 12:00AM

LATELY the Gillard government has been clothing itself in GetUp! attire, but last week it flirted with adding some ShutUp accessories.

The problems started when the political agenda of this government started to sound remarkably like the agenda of the far left special interest group GetUp!

It's a world view that allows you to believe democracy is a sufficiently malleable principle that you can barefacedly lie to the voters and not pay a big price. (How many billboards have you seen GetUp!, that self-styled protector of democratic values, pay for condemning Julia Gillard for lying to the voters? That would be zero, right?)

 

I suspect I'm not revealing any state secret when I say the political policy positions of GetUp! -- reeking of po-faced pieties and "We are the World" platitudes -- are distinctly minority ones. If this becomes your core support group as a government then you are in big, big trouble. Which is when Gillard moved from GetUp! to ShutUp. Apparently the thinking is that we have too much free speech here in Australia. Maybe we ought to pick up on the great democrat Bob Brown's musings and go back a few centuries so we can regulate what the press says.

You really can't be against ensuring that only proper, acceptable views get disseminated, can you? I mean, it works in Cuba and Iran and Venezuela, doesn't it? Or if you decide to display your independence from Brown, to show voters who really is boss, you may just opt to bring in new privacy laws that allow new ways to sue other people.

But putting all the siren song supporters of privacy laws to one side (and we can all await with eager anticipation the next GetUp! billboard in support of this latest thought-bubble policy creation), here is what is at stake.

Any new privacy law regime will make inroads on what people can say. It will take some speech off the table.

There is an inevitable trade-off between free speech concerns and privacy concerns. If you shift the goalposts in favour of more privacy, then by definition you place more limits on free speech.

And I think that's a terrible idea. First off, our laws are already easily sufficient to handle phone hacking situations of the sort engulfing Britain at present. So that's a red herring, plain and simple.

Second, more aggressive privacy laws work not simply by allowing people actually to sue. They work also by creating an atmosphere where people censor themselves because they are afraid of being sued, precisely in the same way that our terrible hate speech laws at present over-reach.

Just look at France, which has strong privacy laws. You had an atmosphere there, no doubt also culturally influenced, where the past exploits of Dominique Strauss-Kahn came as a surprise to most people, save reporters. Do you think those exploits, and I explicitly assume that the New York City charges against him will collapse, but do you think his behaviour might influence whether some people voted for him?

Tony Abbott should have no part in this ShutUp agenda. In any contest between free speech and privacy I think long-term best consequences favour the former much more often. Certainly our present status quo needs no rebalancing in favour of more speech restrictions, and that's true even if it's sold under the banner of some human right to privacy, with a few perfunctory references to international treaties.

Amazingly, however, our present GetUp!/Gillard government seems to think a new ShutUp agenda may help it out with the voters. You have to wonder what planet it inhabits.

We can all only watch this train wreck of incompetence with incredulity. From GetUp to ShutUp, the whole thing has been one giant F . . kUp.

James Allan is Garrick professor of law at the University of Queensland.

The Labor Governments coming Internet Censorship measures will give Australians the same access to the internet as does the citizens of Cuba, China, North Korea,Iran and Venezuela. Like all good Socialist Governments they are committed to ensuring the implementation of their “Media Policy” of Freedom from Information for all Australians.

Multicultural Sydney: Pious Muslim, Bassam Hamzy, pleads guilty to ……

Bassam Hamzy orchestrates kidnapping, drug ring from Lithgow jail by mobile phone

Amy Dale Court Reporter
The Daily Telegraph

July 27, 2011 12:00AM

BASSAM Hamzy was on the phone getting updates on a kidnapping - and ordering a slap in the face for his victim - all from his jail cell.

A court yesterday heard Hamzy used a phone smuggled into jail to tell one of the kidnappers "can you slap him once in the face" and was told: "I've already done it cuz, I've already chopped him ... I've got blood everywhere, man."

Hamzy yesterday pleaded guilty to orchestrating the kidnapping and also operating a sophisticated drug ring from his Lithgow jail cell in mid-2008.

Hamzy also admitted to 15 other offences that will be taken into account in sentencing, including another kidnapping in which he threatened: "Next time I'll take his ears and make them into a necklace."

The court heard police intercepted Hamzy's phone calls from his jail cell.

 

"Bassam Hamzy obtained a mobile phone (and) made a number of phone calls organising the sourcing of various prohibited drugs in Sydney and their direction to Melbourne where they were supplied to associates for on supply," a document tendered to court said.

The court was told that Hamzy directed the supply of 2.34kg of methamphetamine on five occasions, with close to 20,000 calls made between May 5 and June 11.

Hamzy also orchestrated the kidnapping of John Baroutas in Adelaide on June 5, 2008 after "an associate" told him the man owed him money.

Court documents reveal that Hamzy was on the phone as two men stormed into Baroutas's house and asked the victim: "Where's my money."

"The victim replies: 'I gave them some, just some now as well'," the documents said.

In another incident which will be taken into consideration on sentence, Hamzy was part of a plot to detain another man and said: "He's lucky I don't put a bullet in his head ... If I ever have to come up there again, I'm gunna cut all his fingers off ... "

Judge Peter Zahra will hear sentencing submissions on September 9.
