Observing Islam equally as important as skill for Egypt boss

January 15, 2010

Egypt coach Hassan Shehata wants only players who observe Islam, and says team selection is based equally on religious piety and skill.

Shehata's comments, published in Egyptian newspapers, show how sports and religion are increasingly mixing in the overwhelmingly Muslim nation of some 80 million.

The intrusion of religion into sports is part of the country's gradual movement toward religious conservatism over the last few decades, with more people praying at mosques, most women adopting the Islamic veil in public, and diminishing tolerance for secular Muslims or minority Christians.

There are no Christians in the squad defending its title at the African Cup of Nations in Angola.

For years, Egyptian athletes have demonstrated their religious piety in front of fans and the media - kneeling down to offer a prayer of thanks after scoring or winning, or praying before games to implore God to come to their team's aid.

But Shehata's comments take religion in sports to a whole new level.

He was quoted by Cairo newspapers as saying skill alone won't guarantee anyone a place on the national team.

He said "pious behaviour" was the main category for selection.

"Without it, we will never select any player regardless of his potential," he said.

"I always strive to make sure that those who wear the Egypt jersey are on good terms with God."

One newspaper, the independent al-Shorouk, quoted Shehata as saying that striker Ahmed "Mido", on loan from England's Middlesbrough to Cairo's Zamalek, was cut after his initial selection because he did not fit the manager's prerequisite for piety.

Mido was cut four days after his selection last month in a surprise decision given that Egypt was already missing Amr Zaki, formerly a striker with England's Wigan, through injury, as well as attacking midfielder Mohammed Abu Trekka.

Mido, who enjoys a reputation for hard partying, said he was insulted by his exclusion.

Shehata, a former Egypt international best remembered for his midfield creativity, has not made a secret of the big role religion plays in what he does.

He is consistently seen by millions of fans and TV viewers murmuring prayers during games. He often asks supporters to pray for the national side.

In Thursday's comments, Shehata boasted of how he convinced Egypt striker Mohammed Zidan, who plays for the German club Dortmund, to pray.

"I did not like how he used to be aloof and not mix with the rest," Shehata said of Zidan.

"I convinced him of the need to pray and how important it is. He has been praying since."

Shehata is looking for his third straight African Cup title after leading six-time champion Egypt to victory in 2006 and 2008.

Egypt began its title defence on Tuesday with an emphatic, come-from-behind 3-1 win over World Cup qualifier Nigeria.

However, Shehata failed to take Egypt to this year's World Cup finals in South Africa, losing to Algeria 1-0 in a make-or-break decider last year. Egypt last qualified for the World Cup in 1990.

Egypt's atrocities can't be hidden forever

In his mainstream best seller The DaVinci Code, Dan Brown fuses fact and fiction in a panoply of adventure-riddled conversations and quasi-mythical fabulations. However, he correctly – albeit fleetingly, mentions the small town of Nag Hammadi about 65 kilometres from Luxor in Egypt as the site where the Gnostic Gospels were discovered.

Brown, within the narrative of the novel, reveals that these "lost gospels" compiled allegedly by St Thomas ultimately hold the clues to Christianity's aversion to the feminine divine and the source of its fragility by not addressing the Freudian sexual ghosts present in its formation as a world religion. However, Brown's Western-centric beef with the Catholic Church ends up ignoring the continuous indigenous history of Coptic Christianity present since Mark the Apostle's arrival in Egypt and other repressed ghosts lurking behind religion and politics.

 

It was at Nag Hammadi that eight Coptic youth and a security official were murdered in a drive-by shooting by extremist Muslim gunmen after they had just celebrated the midnight Orthodox Christmas Eve mass. Government officials suspect that the attack, where gunmen haphazardly started shooting at a crowd injuring many, was in retaliation for the alleged rape of a 12-year-old Muslim girl by a Coptic man in the town in November. The spill over from the attacks has resulted in riots and arrests that have engulfed Christian and Muslim communities in a wave of sectarian passions. These aggressive acts in poor rural towns in southern Egypt have been common in recent years and the ferocity of sectarian violence has recently escalated in larger metropolises such as in Alexandria last year.

However, these latest attacks need to be contextualised beyond the facile claims of sectarian carnage. Coptic Christians are the indigenous peoples of Egypt and have been maintaining their traditions, rites and customs since the 1st century despite centuries of repression under Roman and Muslims rulers. They represent about 10 per cent of Egypt's 80 million people and generally have co-existed along with their Muslim compatriots in an atmosphere of tense yet liveable amicability. Yet, with the decades of governmental oppression and quashing of civil liberties since the time of Gamal Abdel Nasser and extending to the current policies of President Hosni Mubarak and corruption on local levels, cadres of Islamic extremists have sprung up to retaliate and restore a more equitable social order through a brutal mix of lethality and religious misinterpretations.

Melbourne's Coptic community Protest “Pious Muslims” Murdering Copts in Egypt

In most cases of these hostilities, the victims have been Coptic Christians due to a combination of reasons. Coptic Christians are a minority and within the psyche of the state they remain problematic in terms of citizenship because of their religious status as the largest non-Sunni Muslim minority along with other discriminated minorities such as Bahai's, Yezidis, Catholics etc. Moreover, within daily Egyptian popular representations, Copts are stereotypically seen as elitist and bourgeois because of their economic leverage through entrepreneurial successes of Coptic businessmen such as Naguib Sawires – the founder of Orascom, the biggest telecommunications network in the Middle East and Africa.

The fundamentalist voices of some Copts living in the West, especially the US and Canada, pressuring Western governments to interfere in Egyptian domestic politics, leads to a scenario where Copts in Egypt are seen as Western colluders and in turn bear the brunt of disgruntled local elements as well as blatant institutional discrimination. Nonetheless, these depictions do not fully explain why these violent incidents persist.

As renowned anthropologist Arjun Appadurai succinctly explains in his book The Fear of Small Numbers : "the existence of even the smallest minority within national boundaries is seen as an intolerable deficit in the purity of the national whole . . . Minorities being a reminder of this small but frustrating deficit, thus unleash the urge to purify."

The predominantly rural south of Egypt has historically languished through mismanaged policies of economic advancement of various governments and has been depicted as racially and technologically backward in Egyptian and Western popular imaginations.

The demographic make-up of towns such as Nag Hammadi have large minorities pitted against each other where Christians and Muslims roughly represent the same number of inhabitants but political power resides with corrupt local authorities intent on subverting any notion of justice. The climate of economic disenfranchisement in these towns plus the venomous diatribes of some extremist religiously untrained Muslim clerics presents a fertile ground for young Muslims – especially men – to express their rage in violent ways.

The Egyptian Government is complicit in trying to present a picture of religious harmony to allay Western fears of human right violations but the ugliness and fissures of these local disputes dispel the cosmetic attempts of a cowardly government dealing with its domestic politics and its international image especially in relation to Gaza.

In an interview broadcast on Egyptian national TV a few hours before this fateful incident, the head of the Coptic Church, Pope Shenouda III, urged a return to the ideals of the 1919 Revolution against British colonial occupation. He implored Egyptians to a secularist ethics of citizenship based on mutual respect for difference beyond the dead-end of religious labelling. It is these wise words that must be heeded now more than ever for Nag Hammadi not to continue being a site where ghosts continue to dwell.

Farid Farid is a doctoral candidate at the University of Western Sydney. His research deals with the politics of exile, race and religion.

A rally in support of Coptic Christians in Egypt will be held in Melbourne today. Melbourne's Coptic community  march to the Egyptian consulate in the city. And in Sydney, supporters are to gather St James Station end of Hyde Park (corner St James and Macquarie streets) at 11am on Tuesday, January 19.

To think that as well as training to play Soccer in the Egyptian National Team, you are also expected to find time to act like a “Pious Muslim”,where do they find the time?

“Multiculturalism and Diversity” are a conspiracy by Labour to destroy the British culture

 

Labour let in migrants 'to engineer multicultural UK'

By Daily Mail Reporter
24th October 2009

Huge increases in immigration over the past decade were a deliberate attempt to engineer a more multicultural Britain, a former Government adviser said yesterday.

Andrew Neather, a speechwriter who worked in Downing Street for Tony Blair and in the Home Office for Jack Straw and David Blunkett, said Labour's relaxation of controls was a plan to 'open up the UK to mass migration'.

As well as bringing in hundreds of thousands to plug labour market gaps, there was also a 'driving political purpose' behind immigration policy, he claimed.

Ministers hoped to change the country radically and 'rub the Right's nose in diversity'. But Mr Neather said senior Labour figures were reluctant to discuss the policy, fearing it would alienate its 'core working-class vote'.

On Question Time, Mr Straw was repeatedly quizzed about whether Labour's immigration policies had left the door open for the BNP.

Writing in the Evening Standard, Mr Neather revealed the 'major shift' in immigration policy came after the publication of a policy paper from the Performance and Innovation Unit, a Downing Street think tank based in the Cabinet Office.

The published version promoted the labour-market case for immigration but Mr Neather said unpublished versions contained additional reasons.

'Earlier drafts I saw also included a driving political purpose: that mass immigration was the way that the Government was going to make the UK truly multicultural.

'I remember coming away from some discussions with the clear sense that the policy was intended - even if this wasn't its main purpose - to rub the Right's nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date.' The 'deliberate policy', from late 2000 until 'at least February last year', when the new points-based system was introduced, was to open up the UK to mass migration, he said.

Mr Neather defended the policy, saying mass immigration has 'enriched' Britain and made London a more attractive and cosmopolitan place.

Sir Andrew Green, chairman of the Migrationwatch think tank, said: 'Now at least the truth is out, and it's dynamite. Many have long suspected that mass immigration under Labour was not just a cock-up but a conspiracy. They were right.

'This Government has admitted three million immigrants for cynical political reasons concealed by dodgy economic camouflage.'

The chairmen of the cross-party Group for Balanced Migration, MPs Frank Field and Nicholas Soames, said: 'We welcome this statement which the whole country knows to be true.

'It is the first beam of truth that has officially been shone on the immigration issue in Britain.'

Kevin Rudd :”no credibility on border security and the war on terror…”

 

Rudd opens the door for genuine security threats

Piers Akerman
Daily Telegraph
Thursday, January 14, 2010

KEVIN Rudd has shown he has absolutely no credibility on border security and the war on terror by insisting that Tamil refugees deemed to be a security threat be brought to Australia.

He did so to shore up the deal he personally cut with Indonesia’s President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. This followed the rescue of undocumented arrivals on their way to Australia who were landed first in Indonesia.

There they were promised speedy processing and resettlement, in a secret agreement that has never been explained to the Australian public.

It is now clear that Rudd has ignored various ministers and security agencies as he engaged in his own simple-minded personal diplomacy.

 

In this instance, Rudd approved the transfer to Australia of four Tamil refugees, including a woman accompanied by two children, deemed to be a security threat by ASIO while they were in detention in Indonesia after the four-week standoff aboard the Oceanic Viking.

A fifth Tamil, the woman’s husband, who had travelled to Australia aboard an earlier boat in the Rudd refugee fleet, was also refused a visa on security grounds.

Since the Rudd Government watered down border security legislation in August 2008, nearly 70 boatloads of undocumented arrivals have reached Australian waters.

The Rudd Government met this surge with a barrage of propaganda, claiming that the flood was due to “push” factors not “pull” factors and it attempted to smear WA Premier Colin Barnett, who claimed (correctly) that security personnel had been seriously injured when a fire was lit aboard one vessel.

Rudd hysterically attacked then Opposition leader Malcolm Turnbull and accused him of endorsing Wilson Tuckey’s comment that terrorists were masquerading as asylum seekers in their bid to reach Australia.

Rudd called on Turnbull to withdraw Tuckey’s preselection, claiming the MP’s remarks were “divisive and disgusting”.

Grandstanding, he bellowed to his parliamentary audience that if Turnbull had “one shred of credibility, one shred of decency on the question of asylum seekers, he would stand to his feet (and) repudiate the Member for O’Connor”.

Turnbull wisely and correctly refused to repudiate his backbencher’s remarks. As time has shown, Tuckey was only speaking the truth out of genuine concern at the failure of the Rudd Government’s policies and all Rudd was attempting to do with his ill-mannered and poorly-considered outburst was distract attention from his own calamitous border protection regime. His disastrous personal intervention with the Indonesian President was to follow.

By any measure, the current border protection policy is in crisis.

Far from being a deterrent, routine detention on Christmas Island is regarded as stepping stone to the mainland. Those people smugglers who have not programmed the co-ordinates of the island’s Flying Fish Cove wharf into their GPS units are happy to be ferried there by the navy and customs vessels.

Single men are kept in the overcrowded detention centre, families are held in the island’s converted recreation centre or released into the community.

Immigration Minister Chris Evans says the woman identified as a security risk is not behind a security fence with her children, so it is to be presumed - failing the release of any pertinent information from the Government - that she is living with them in the general community.

The Christmas Islanders have been growing increasingly disgruntled at the presence of hundreds of extra government personnel billeted on the island dealing with the new arrivals. The medical staff, security and education specialists, counsellors and immigration officers and maintenance workers have taken up almost all the spare accommodation and rental cars and scooters and driven up the cost of food and rent.

As a sop to the islanders, the Rudd Government has promised an increased emphasis on tourism but, without accommodation, tourists would be better off arriving via people smuggler boat, so they will at least be guaranteed taxpayer-provided services.

During the Howard years, two Iraqi detainees, Mohammed Yussef Sagar and Muhammad Faisal, were issued negative security assessments after they arrived in Australia. They spent five years in detention before Sagar was accepted by Sweden and Faisal, who underwent psychiatric treatment, was allowed into Australia and later reassessed by ASIO.

Under Rudd, those assessed as risks are being brought to Australia. How long they will remain depends on how soon another country agrees to host them. Rudd might explain why another nation should be as silly as Australia and accept a person reckoned to be a bona fide security risk.

The Labor Party and their Union Financiers will not be happy until there is a Terrorist attack on our soil.

Keysar Trad’s Neice, Suspect in $150m loan scam fronts court.

 

Suspect in $150m loan scam fronts court

SMH
DYLAN WELCH
January 13, 2010

SHE used to drive a Honda with number plates that read ''CL55SY'' and Hiba Cornell, one of 14 people accused of involvement in a $150 million mortgage fraud syndicate linked to the September murder of the Sydney loan shark Michael McGurk, cut a demure figure in court yesterday.

After the brief appearance to vary her bail conditions, Mrs Cornell left Newtown Local Court holding the hand of her husband, Ashfield detective Andrew Cornell. She did not speak during the hearing.

Mrs Cornell, a 43-year-old mother of two and the niece of the Sydney Lebanese identity Keysar Trad, is charged with 10 fraud and conspiracy offences relating to the fraudulent activities in assisting members of the syndicate to apply for loans.

She is charged with helping members of the syndicate fraudulently apply for loans from the St George and Commonwealth banks worth almost $5 million between 2006 and 2008.

In a letter to police tendered in court, Mrs Cornell's lawyer, Brett Hearnden, asked that his client's bail conditions be amended so she did not have to report to a police station once a week.

The alleged scam, which investigators say involved up to 250 people and more than $150 million, allegedly involved inflating the value of properties and then taking out mortgages based on the inflated amounts.

The head of the fraud squad, Detective Superintendent Col Dyson, has said there were direct links between the fraud syndicate and the investigation into the murder of the lender of last resort Michael McGurk.

The names of the 13 other people charged so far were included in a document tendered yesterday. They are: Fatima and Ali Moussa; Ahmad Hamze; Adam Perez; Trent Knox; Rachid Kabhara; Taam Chamna; Hammoude Badr; Mohamad Mehajer; Mohamad Sowaid; Mohamad Diab; Abdul Sayadi and Todd Blunt.

There is a common thread here, can anyone else sense it or is it just me ? call me crazy but there is something here that… well I just cant put my finger on it… come on help me out here.

The ICE AGE Commeth, BBC interviewer rips UK MET head a new …..

 

The mini ice age starts here

By David Rose
Last updated at 11:17 AM on 10th January 2010

The bitter winter afflicting much of the Northern Hemisphere is only the start of a global trend towards cooler weather that is likely to last for 20 or 30 years, say some of the world’s most eminent climate scientists.

Their predictions – based on an analysis of natural cycles in water temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans – challenge some of the global warming orthodoxy’s most deeply cherished beliefs, such as the claim that the North Pole will be free of ice in
summer by 2013.

According to the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado, Arctic summer sea ice has increased by 409,000 square miles, or 26 per cent, since 2007 – and even the most committed global warming activists do not dispute this.

The scientists’ predictions also undermine the standard climate computer models, which assert that the warming of the Earth since 1900 has been driven solely by man-made greenhouse gas emissions and will continue as long as carbon dioxide levels rise.

They say that their research shows that much of the warming was caused by oceanic cycles when they were in a ‘warm mode’ as opposed to the present ‘cold mode’.

This challenge to the widespread view that the planet is on the brink of an irreversible catastrophe is all the greater because the scientists could never be described as global warming ‘deniers’ or sceptics.

However, both main British political parties continue to insist that the world is facing imminent disaster without drastic cuts in CO2.

This image of the UK taken from NASA's multi-national Terra satellite on Thursday shows the extent of the freezing weather

Last week, as Britain froze, Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband maintained in a parliamentary answer that the science of global warming was ‘settled’.

Among the most prominent of the scientists is Professor Mojib Latif, a leading member of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which has been pushing the issue of man-made global warming on to the international political agenda since it was formed 22 years ago.

Prof Latif, who leads a research team at the renowned Leibniz  Institute at Germany’s Kiel University, has developed new methods for measuring ocean temperatures 3,000ft beneath the surface, where the cooling and warming cycles start.

He and his colleagues predicted the new cooling trend in a paper published in 2008 and warned of it again at an IPCC conference in Geneva last September.

Last night he told The Mail on Sunday: ‘A significant share of the warming we saw from 1980 to 2000 and at earlier periods in the 20th Century was due to these cycles – perhaps as much as 50 per cent.

'They have now gone into reverse, so winters like this one will become much more likely. Summers will also probably be cooler, and all this may well last two decades or longer.

‘The extreme retreats that we have seen in glaciers and sea ice will come to a halt. For the time being, global warming has paused, and there may well be some cooling.’

As Europe, Asia and North America froze last week, conventional wisdom insisted that this was merely a ‘blip’ of no long-term significance.

Though record lows were experienced as far south as Cuba, where the daily maximum on beaches normally used for winter bathing was just 4.5C, the BBC assured viewers that the big chill was merely short-term ‘weather’ that had nothing to do with ‘climate’, which was still warming.

The work of Prof Latif and the other scientists refutes that view.

On the one hand, it is true that the current freeze is the product of the ‘Arctic oscillation’ – a weather pattern that sees the development of huge ‘blocking’ areas of high pressure in northern latitudes, driving polar winds far to the south.

Meteorologists say that this is at its strongest for at least 60 years.

As a result, the jetstream – the high-altitude wind that circles the globe from west to east and normally pushes a series of wet but mild Atlantic lows across Britain – is currently running not over the English Channel but the Strait of Gibraltar.

However, according to Prof Latif and his colleagues, this in turn relates to much longer-term shifts – what are known as the Pacific and Atlantic ‘multi-decadal oscillations’ (MDOs).

For Europe, the crucial factor here is the temperature of the water in the middle of the North Atlantic, now several degrees below its average when the world was still warming.

But the effects are not confined to the Northern Hemisphere. Prof Anastasios Tsonis, head of the University of Wisconsin Atmospheric Sciences Group, has recently shown that these MDOs move together in a synchronised way across the globe, abruptly flipping the world’s climate from a ‘warm mode’ to a ‘cold mode’ and back again in 20 to 30-year cycles.

'They amount to massive rearrangements in the dominant patterns of the weather,’ he said yesterday, ‘and their shifts explain all the major changes in world temperatures during the 20th and 21st Centuries.

'We have such a change now and can therefore expect 20 or 30 years of cooler temperatures.’

Prof Tsonis said that the period from 1915 to 1940 saw a strong warm mode, reflected in rising temperatures.

Pictures of the snow in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China, last week show the city is the coldest it has been since 1970

But from 1940 until the late Seventies, the last MDO cold-mode era, the world cooled, despite the fact that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere continued to rise.

Many of the consequences of the recent warm mode were also observed 90 years ago.

For example, in 1922, the Washington Post reported that Greenland’s glaciers were fast disappearing, while Arctic seals were ‘finding the water too hot’.

It interviewed a Captain Martin Ingebrigsten, who had been sailing the eastern Arctic for 54 years: ‘He says that he first noted warmer conditions in 1918, and since that time it has gotten steadily warmer.

'Where formerly great masses of ice were found, there are now moraines, accumulations of earth and stones. At many points where glaciers formerly extended into the sea they have entirely disappeared.’

As a result, the shoals of fish that used to live in these waters had vanished, while the sea ice beyond the north coast of Spitsbergen in the Arctic Ocean had melted.

Warm Gulf Stream water was still detectable within a few hundred miles of the Pole.
In contrast, Prof Tsonis said, last week 56 per cent of the surface of the United States was covered by snow.

‘That hasn’t happened for several decades,’ he pointed out. ‘It just isn’t true to say this is a blip. We can expect colder winters for quite a while.’

He recalled that towards the end of the last cold mode, the world’s media were preoccupied by fears of freezing.

For example, in 1974, a Time magazine cover story predicted ‘Another Ice Age’, saying: ‘Man may be somewhat responsible – as a result of farming and fuel burning [which is] blocking more and more sunlight from reaching and heating the Earth.’

Prof Tsonis said: ‘Perhaps we will see talk of an ice age again by the early 2030s, just as the MDOs shift once more and temperatures begin to rise.’

Like Prof Latif, Prof Tsonis is not a climate change ‘denier’. There is, he said, a measure of additional ‘background’ warming due to human activity and greenhouse gases that runs across the MDO cycles.

'This isn't just a blip. We can expect colder winters for quite a while'

But he added: ‘I do not believe in catastrophe theories. Man-made warming is balanced by the natural cycles, and I do not trust the computer models which state that if CO2 reaches a particular level then temperatures and sea levels will rise by a given amount.

'These models cannot be trusted to predict the weather for a week, yet they are running them to give readings for 100 years.’

Prof Tsonis said that when he published his work in the highly respected journal Geophysical Research Letters, he was deluged with ‘hate emails’.

He added: ‘People were accusing me of wanting to destroy the climate, yet all I’m interested in is the truth.’

He said he also received hate mail from climate change sceptics, accusing him of not going far enough to attack the theory of man-made warming.

The work of Profs Latif, Tsonis and their teams raises a crucial question: If some of the late 20th Century warming was caused not by carbon dioxide but by MDOs, then how much?

Tsonis did not give a figure; Latif suggested it could be anything between ten and 50 per cent.

Other critics of the warming orthodoxy say the role played by MDOs is even greater.

William Gray, emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Colorado State University, said that while he believed there had been some background rise caused by greenhouse gases, the computer models used by advocates of man-made warming had hugely exaggerated their effect.

Dr David Viner stands by his claim that snow will become an 'increasingly rare event'

According to Prof Gray, these distort the way the atmosphere works. ‘Most of the rise in temperature from the Seventies to the Nineties was natural,’ he said. ‘Very little was down to CO2 – in my view, as little as five to ten per cent.’

But last week, die-hard warming advocates were refusing to admit that MDOs were having any impact.

In March 2000, Dr David Viner, then a member of the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit, the body now being investigated over the notorious ‘Warmergate’ leaked emails, said that within a few years snowfall would become ‘a very rare and exciting event’ in Britain, and that ‘children just aren’t going to know what snow is’.

Now the head of a British Council programme with an annual £10 million budget that raises awareness of global warming among young people abroad, Dr Viner last week said he still stood by that prediction: ‘We’ve had three weeks of relatively cold weather, and that doesn’t change anything.

'This winter is just a little cooler than average, and I still think that snow will become an increasingly rare event.’

The longer the cold spell lasts, the harder it may be to persuade the public of that assertion.

Australian PM Kevin “I have never been a Socialist” 07 Rudd….. “getting the balance right”

 

Rudd's quest for "getting the balance right " his and his Labor Party’s "Fresh thinking" has cost Australia's working families dearly.

In 2008 3/4 of the 13,500 illegal entrants Rudd allowed to remain in Australia are on Social Security benefits.

Since 1990 25% of illegal entrants are on Social Security benefits, costing “Australia's working families” $628 Million in extra taxation or reduction of or denile of services that they have paid for via their taxation.

 

Since Rudd was elected in November 2007 the cost of social security provided to illegal entrants has risen 40%.

One in Five illegal entrants are on disability pensions,costing working families $23 million a year.
Added to the above,$21.6 Million was paid to Illegal entrants in "Baby Bonus" payments.

Rudd has made Australia a magnet,a honey pot for illegal,predominantly,Muslim entrants, since his election as Labor Party PM in November 2007.

Rudd and his Union funded Socialist Labor Party call it

"getting the balance right"

Based on the manifestations of his Party's policies since they attained government in November 2007, Mr Rudd and his Labor Party clearly felt that there were not enough Muslims on social security in Australia, aka. Labor voters.

"Getting the balance right" was a Rudd Labor Party Kevin "I have never been a socialist" 07 Rudd election PROMISE, along with "Fresh Thinking" and "Working Families" it was the most often repeated bumper sticker / slogan enunciated during the campaign,by Labor and their MSM sycophants, as opposed to POLICY,and in place of coming clean with  Labor's much cultivated and mined "Working Families" .... getting the balance right?

"yes Dear Leader I will work harder....." and I am very sorry for what ever you say I should be sorry for.

Bethany Hamilton Surfs at North Narrabeen before filming her bio

 

Bethany Hamilton - from shark attack to riding a wave of surfing success

By Amanda Lulham
The Daily Telegraph

RED-hot one-armed surfer Bethany Hamilton was cooling her heels in Sydney yesterday as she waited to compete in her final tournament before filming starts on her remarkable tale of survival.

The 19-year-old from Hawaii shot to fame as the 13-year-old who managed to make it to shore after a tiger shark tore off her left arm while she was surfing her local break.

Hamilton has revealed that rising Hollywood star Anna Sophia Robb will play her in the film which traces the horrific attack and her brave journey back to the beach.

Speaking yesterday on a lay day at Sydney's North Narrabeen beach - where she is a front-running contender at the Billabong world junior surfing championships - Hamilton said the film would begin production towards the end of January and she would be doing most of the surfing and other stunts in place of Robb.

Titled Soul Surfer the film takes its inspiration from Hamilton's biography of the same name, telling a story more akin to Jaws.

Hamilton was 13 when, while surfing with her best friend Alana Blanchard on October 21, 2003, a 5m tiger shark ripped her left arm off just below her shoulder.

Incredibly, just three weeks later Hamilton was back on her board surfing at her home break at Kauai, Hawaii. Already a pro surfer, with a second place at the Billabong tournament last year, Hamilton is excited about working with a Hollywood star.

"She's super cool. A great girl," Hamilton said of Robb. "We've met in Hawaii and hung out."

For post-attack scenes in which a one-armed stunt woman was needed, Hamilton stepped up.

"They wanted a one-armed person doing it and that's not easy to find," Hamilton said.

"I'm excited about the role. But it will be intense seeing people playing my family and me."

Lorraine Nicholson, the teenage daughter of Jack Nicholson, will play Blanchard in the movie while Sean Brosnan, actor Pierce Brosnan's son, will play brother Noah Hamilton.

Hamilton said she hopes the movie - due out in October - will inspire viewers to overcome hardships encountered in life.

I remember when this brave, then,little girl,was attacked,it was horrific to say the least, she must have tremendous courage, good luck to her I hope she receives all the blessings she deserves.

Ignoble Islam: Drugs made him do it, get out of jail card issued to UAE Presidents Brother Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahayan

 

Torture trial: UAE President's brother acquitted

SMH
January 11, 2010

An Emirati court has acquitted the President's brother of charges of torturing an Afghan but convicted five co-defendants, including two Americans, his lawyer said.

The court in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) acquitted Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahayan "after establishing he was not responsible" for the torture of the Afghan merchant in 2004, lawyer Habib al-Mulla said.

"The court accepted our defence that the sheikh was under the influence of drugs [medicine] that left him unaware of his actions", the lawyer said.

 

Watch the poor Sheikh in action, poor bastard who could do such a thing to a member of the Religion of Peace, Most Pious Mass Murderers and Head Hunters Guild?

However, the court in the oasis city of Al-Ain ordered two co-defendants to pay a "temporary compensation" of 10,000 dirhams ($3000) to the Afghan, who can file a new lawsuit to claim full compensation, the lawyer said.

The two US defendants of Lebanese origin, brothers Ghassan and Bassam Nabulsi, were sentenced to five years in jail each in absentia for having drugged the sheikh.

The lawyer said the Afghan victim had demanded compensation from the brothers rather than from Sheikh Issa.

Bassam Nabulsi reportedly leaked a video which exposed the case.

The court also sentenced three other workers at the farm where the torture took place to between one and three years in jail for drugging the sheikh, likewise in absentia, Mulla said. A guard at the farm was acquitted.

Mulla said Sheikh Issa, 40, who has been in detention for the past seven months, would be released.

However, the verdict is not final as it will have to be reviewed by a higher court if the public prosecution decides to challenge the ruling.

Sheikh Issa, who is the brother of UAE President and oil-rich Abu Dhabi's ruler, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahayan, pleaded not guilty at a hearing last month.

The lawyer told the hearing in December the sheikh had been drugged against his will during the incident and had no recollection of what had happened.

"We submitted medical reports showing that the drugs that the two co-defendants administered to him left him unaware of his actions," the lawyer said on December 15.

Allegations against the sheikh emerged after the video, aired in April, appeared to show him beating a man with whips, electric cattle prods and a wooden plank with protruding nails.

Assisted by police, Sheikh Issa is seen to pour salt in the man's wounds and run over him with a four-wheel drive.

The victim needed months of hospital care following the incident. He was reportedly an Afghan trader who lost a consignment of grain worth $US5000 ($5450).

In a rare trial of a high-ranking member of the ruling family, Sheikh Issa was charged at an opening hearing last October with endangering life, causing bodily harm and with rape for the incident.

The lawyer told the court that one of the sheikh's co-defendants was responsible for Sheikh Issa's medications and had drugged him, then videotaped the incident and tried to blackmail him.

Malaysian Churches attacked by Islamic Sociopaths

Two more churches attacked in 'Allah' row

Daily Telegraph
January 10, 2010

TWO more Malaysian churches were targeted by arsonists today police and church officials said, as a row escalated over the use of the word "Allah" by non-Muslims.

The latest attacks in Taiping, in the northern Perak state, brought the total number to six since Friday but there were no reports of injuries, according to state police chief Zulkifli Abdullah.

He said a Molotov cocktail was thrown at All Saints Church early in the morning before worshippers attended their Sunday service while church officials found a bottle of kerosene in another church.

"There were black marks on the wall (at All Saints). We believed there was a small fire earlier but there was no damage as the wall was intact," Zulkifli said.

He said a bottle of kerosene was thrown into St Louis Catholic Church but added that the building wasn't damaged.

Four churches in the Kuala Lumpur area have been hit by firebombs since Friday, leaving one badly damaged with its ground floor gutted, and prompting Prime Minister Najib Razak to promise to crack down on race crime.

Hermen Shastri, secretary-general of the Council of Churches, said officials had stepped up security in the wake of the fresh attacks.

"The attacks show they are more just a prank as it does not appear to be a major (attack), someone is trying to send a signal that they are unhappy," he said.

Religious tensions were heightened in Muslim-majority Malaysia last week when a court ruled in favour of the Herald Catholic newspaper in its dispute with the government over the publication's use of the word "Allah".

Enraged by the ruling, Muslim groups held protests outside 10 mosques across the nation on Friday.

The row is among a string of religious disputes that have erupted in recent years, straining relations between Malays and ethnic Chinese and Indians who fear the country is being "Islamised".

About 10 per cent of Malaysians are Christians, including some 850,000 Catholics.

For the life of me why would any Non Muslim Religion want to use the term allah to name their Deity? a more repugnant insulting name could not be found if they tried.

allah the Moon God,the slave traders God, the Head Hunters God, allah the Islamic Pimp for his mass murdering suicide bombing cowards, why oh why would any Non Muslim Religion use the most derogatory name imaginable to describe their God?

Australia: Rudd Government Minister,Labor “Style Queen” and “Female Body Image Icon” Kate "happily single" Ellis,seen with a Man at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.

 

Solo Kate Ellis sports her mystery man

SPORTS Minister Kate Ellis spent an active weekend at Bondi Beach with a mystery man, sharing a beachside apartment, cliff walks and breakfast together.

Labor government’s “style queen” and female “body image icon”, Sports Minister,and Labor Government Token Female Parliamentary background nodding head, Madame Kate Ellis (l) seen here with mystery Irishman Niall Collins (r) strolling at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.

Ms Ellis, on her first day of holidays, helped her companion apply sunblock to hard-to-reach places before enjoying a glass of wine over lunch at Ravesi's.

She told The Sunday Telegraph her companion, a tall Irishman called Niall Collins, was "just a friend".

Ms Ellis's weekend in the sun comes on the eve of comments that she is "happily single" but that the romantic in her believes she'll find a match one day.

"I think everybody hopes they'll meet 'the one', but I'm really happy," she says in an interview with Women's Health magazine, published tomorrow.

"I'm not out there trawling nightclubs looking for Mr Right.

"Sometimes I feel incredibly confident when I'm single.

"When you're completely self-reliant, that can be empowering."

Questioned about her relationship with Mr Collins, Ms Ellis smiled but gave nothing away. "We're just friends, that's all," she said.

Looking relaxed, the South Australian MP traded her political power suit for a green bikini, sunglasses and Haviana thongs.

She and Mr Collins breakfasted at the Sahnia Cafe, in Campbell Parade, but it appeared work wasn't far from Ms Ellis's mind as she checked her BlackBerry several times.

From there, it was on to the Bondi-to-Bronte walk, and the two spent the afternoon cruising Bondi's boutiques and cafes.

In the Women's Health interview, Ms Ellis says that, like any woman, she has issues about her appearance.

"Everyone has fat or ugly days, and I'm certainly no different in that regard.

"But it has to come back to the fact that it's not the most significant thing. My appearance isn't the top of the list; it's not what makes me feel good about who I am."

Based on the photograph above,just as well Madame Kate, other wise you would definitely not be feeling good about who you are, maybe the two of you (and Irishman Niall for that matter)should do a bit more walking,less talking and eating.

Ignoble Islam: Slave Trading alive and thriving in Obama’s former homeland Indonesia.

Sold into bondage in new slave trade

By Paul Toohey
The Daily Telegraph
January 09, 2010

THE modern slave ship is a Boeing or an Airbus. Some weeks ago, long after midnight at Singapore airport's Terminal 3, I witnessed a grim procession. There were at least 250 Indonesian women, all wearing headscarves, queuing in a long, neat double row to join a Qatar Airways flight to Doha, in the Middle East.

There was no excitement in the faces of these travellers.

I asked one of the women what was going on. She said they were bound for Saudi Arabia to work on two-year stints as housemaids and cleaners.

Australia has fly-in, fly-out workers, who head to mine sites for two-week stints. Soldiers are posted overseas for six months. Anyone who's done this work, or knows someone who has, will have heard that it's hell on families. It's a sacrifice, it can be risky, but the money's good. What about going away for two years, on bad money?

My guess is most of these women had children. My guess is their husbands, or families, ordered them to go.

Australia worries about the depth of Indonesia's commitment in preventing asylum seekers moving down to Australia. Within Indonesia is growing concern that the Government is turning a blind eye as its own people are shipped, in huge numbers, into bondage.

It is true that Indonesia last year barred migrant workers from going to Malaysia and then Kuwait. Cases of Indonesian migrant housemaids being brutalised, raped or killed by their foreign masters had become so frequently reported and embarrassing that something had to be done.

Indonesia is now in talks with both countries to lift the bans. It needs to because unskilled workers send so much money home into the economy. More than six million Indonesians are working abroad. Most of them are women. Most are in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia.

The US State Department last year described Indonesia as "a major source of women, children and men trafficked for the purposes of forced labour and commercial sexual exploitation".

It also reported on a trade within Indonesia of recruiting women and girls into sex slavery. The State Department cited cases of girls shipped to the Papua province on the promise of waitress work but forced into prostitution. In 2009, underage girls were rescued from illegal logging camps in West Kalimantan where they were working as prostitutes.

The US is much more courageous than Australia in taking on such matters. This damning information appeared on the US Embassy's Indonesian website in June. It accused Indonesian immigration officials of taking bribes to allow large numbers of women to pass out of Jakarta without the proper paperwork.

It complained that police and military were "directly involved in the operation of brothels and fronts for prostitution, including establishments that exploited child sex trafficking victims".

Soon after this report was released, the Indonesian embassy in Kuwait was overflowing as more than 600 migrant women workers sought protection.

These women had not arrived at the embassy as an organised group of protesters. They had turned up seeking sanctuary as individuals, or in small bands, complaining of physical and sexual abuse, or of non-payment of wages or being denied entitlements.

They were repatriated as spare seats became available on Garuda flights.

The agents who recruit migrant workers are in a more lucrative game than the people smugglers shifting Afghans and Iraqis on boats to Australia.

They make money by charging job-placement commission fees of up to $US3000 ($3300) and pay the airfares, which the workers must pay back. They call this debt bondage. Some are sent directly into sex work, others by a more subtle process, working as housemaids but also forced to provide sexual services to their employers. Because they are often illegal workers, they have no redress against exploitation. Most are not raped or prostituted. The abuse is more insidious. No days off, no calls home.

Does any of this matter to Australia? If we are to be a good neighbour, it does.

The current - and long-standing - Australian diplomatic approach to Indonesia (the 1999 East Timor liberation aside) is to offer no public condemnation but to throw money at whatever the problem might be.

But sometimes a stern public word goes a long way.

It turns out that Australia has an ambassador for people smuggling and people-trafficking issues. His name is Peter Woolcott. He was appointed by the Rudd Government in June. He hasn't had much if anything to say on migrant worker enslavement so far.

If an ambassador's skill is to smooth things over, that skill should extend to smoothing things over after he himself has handed out a clubbing.

That Indonesia did not charter flights to extricate its workers from Kuwait, instead making room as seats became available on commercial flights, shows a lack of regard for its own citizens.

Australia knew about it. We should have condemned it. Numbers of female migrants working across Asia will only grow. The problem needs attention.

On December 29, Simon Crean, acting as Foreign Affairs Minister while Stephen Smith took holidays, issued a press release expressing deep concern on the deportation of Hmong refugees back to Laos from a refugee camp in Thailand.

Thailand and Laos are a long way away. Australia never dares make such strong statements in relation to Indonesia. Yet close media readers will note how often Indonesian officials slam us. We should slam them.

It need not get too willing, but too often our soft-shoed approach is based on consideration of their culture. We have a culture, too. True friendship is based on only one thing: Truly understanding each other.
