AUSTRALIA’S top Muslim organisation wants taxpayers to finance the expansion of Islamic schools and halal food outlets into mainstream suburbs.

And in a sign of growing community tension, the nation’s peak Jewish authority has called for new migrants to be put on probation while their commitment to Australian values and laws is checked.

In a submission to a federal inquiry into multiculturalism, the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils said Muslims were forced to live in enclaves near Islamic schools, mosques and halal food outlets.

“The Government should invest in expanding services like halal and kosher meat and food outlets as well as faith-based schools,” it said.

“If the Government and politicians cannot recognise this as essential, it should no longer accuse the Australian Muslim community of intentionally living in enclaves.”

Muslim schools

Heba Ibrahim, the AFIC board member who wrote the report, told the Herald Sun there were reasons groups were drawn to certain suburbs.

“I’m saying there needs to be a greater investment generally in schools that wish to go out into other areas that are not heavily populated with particular migrant and religious groups,” she said. Continue Reading →

Australia: Govt says no to sharia law

The federal government has quickly moved to block any calls for sharia law in Australia.

In its submission to the parliamentary inquiry into the government’s new multiculturalism policy, The Australian Federation of Islamic Councils has called for Muslims to be granted “legal pluralism”.

Attorney-General Robert McClelland stomped on the request.

“There is no place for sharia law in Australian society and the government strongly rejects any proposal for its introduction,” Mr McClelland told AAP.

Sharia has faced repeated criticism.

It is again in the headlines following an Iranian court’s decision to delay a planned “eye-for-an-eye” act of justice against a man who threw acid at a woman’s face because she refused his marriage proposal.

“As our citizenship pledge makes clear, coming to Australia means obeying Australian laws and upholding Australian values,” Mr McClelland said.

“Australia’s brand of multiculturalism promotes integration.

“If there is any inconsistency between cultural values and the rule of law then Australian law wins out.”

Mr McClelland is keen to assert Australia’s position as a “stable democracy” where “rule of law” underpins society.

“People who migrate to Australia do so because of the fact that we have a free, open and tolerant society where men and woman are equal before the law irrespective of race, religious or cultural background.”

Here is that same blogger again attempting to explain reality to leftists. One wonders if this is where the expression, ’tilting at windmills’ comes from. This video makes me think of two things.

1. If Mel Gibson had a not-evil twin, this would be him.

2. “If Fascism ever comes to America I don’t know what it will look like, but they will call themselves ‘anti fascists'”

Certainly this fine bloggers opponents are the new fascism and supporters of genocide.

From Australia’s Daily Telegraph

SOMETIMES the most shocking adversity can lead a person to a bright new beginning. That is the case for Anna C, one of the victims of a spate of racist gang rapes that shocked Australia 11 years ago.

The gang rapists, Australian-born Lebanese Muslims roamed Sydney hunting for non-Muslim teenage girls they regarded as “Aussie sluts”.

Ms C was 18 when she was raped 25 times by as many as 14 men, including the notorious Skaf brothers Bilal, then 18 and Mohammed, 17 – in August, 2000.

She had been sitting on a train, dressed for a job interview in her best suit, reading The Great Gatsby, when she was approached by the youths.

They stole her mobile phone and lured her off the train, raped her in a toilet block and then drove her to a secluded park in Sydney’s southwestern suburbs.

There she was “passed from group to group to be abused, insulted and defiled,” as Justice Michael Finnane described it.

“It is hard to believe that young men brought up in modern Australia could behave so much like wild animals.”

Carloads of youths were summoned by mobile phone: “There’s a slut at Bankstown Trotting Club”.

During her six-hour ordeal, they called her an “Aussie pig”, asked if she liked “Leb c**k” and boasted: “I’m going to f*** you Leb style.”

She suffered every indignity, had a gun held to her head and, at the end, was hosed down like an animal.

“I looked in his eyes. I had never seen such indifference,” she told the court.

Ringleader Bilal Skaf was sentenced to 55 years jail, later reduced to 28 years.

It was the harshest sentence ever handed out for rape, reflecting the racist nature of the hate-crimes and Ms C’s extraordinary courage and credibility as a witness.

Over the next 24 hours I will post a lot more on today’s first ‘ADL’ demo and our Australian correspondent will be posting as well. Meanwhile, here is a short video she took of one of the speakers at the event who was being shouted down by a chorus of the usual knuckle dragging, one note fascist ‘anti-fascists’.

Halal meat not only is Muslim safe, but you can run a car on it.

Caught red-handed in a meat makeover scandal

From SMH.COM:

EXCLUSIVE
BUTCHERS are using the illegal preservative sulphur dioxide to make old and greying meat look fresh. A butcher in Yagoona has become the latest to be caught using the toxic additive – a major ingredient of battery acid – on beef mince.
Toufic Elarab, the owner of Yagoona Halal Meats, was also found by NSW Food Authority inspectors to be storing meat in an unsanitised shopping trolley while beef hung on rusty hooks was allowed to rest against filthy, blood-splattered walls in a storage area.

The butcher is the latest to fall foul of health restrictions against the use of sulphur dioxide to disguise old or inferior raw meat.
Last month RW & MF Brown Quality Butcher on Thompson Street, Drummoyne, was fined $330 for selling beef mince containing sulphur dioxide.
Other butchers fined include Cliffy the Butcher of Brighton, Al-Bashara Butchery on Railway Parade, Lakemba, and Daniels Butcher in the World Square shopping centre on George Street, in the city.
The NSW Food Authority warned that sulphur dioxide carried the risk of serious allergic reaction.
The Food Standards Code allows tiny amounts of the chemical to be used as a preservative in certain processed products, including mortadella, chicken loaf, turkey loaf, frankfurters, luncheon meats, polish salami, devon and manufactured hams. It is banned from all raw meats, including mince, sausages, rissoles and hamburger patties.
NSW Primary Industries Minister Steve Whan said: ”While the vast majority of licensed operators do the right thing, it takes just one dodgy operator to put the community at risk from food-borne illness, which can have a devastating effect.
This is a clear message to those few rogue operators who continue to do the wrong thing: we will get you.”
Yagoona Halal Meats was fined $4800 and and ordered to pay $2000 in costs by the Chief Industrial Magistrate’s Court, which had previously found against the company over six other offences. The Food Authority gave evidence that the storage area had ”rusty hanging hooks and a rusty handsaw contaminated by old, dry meat”. The walls were ”unclean and found to have debris and dried blood on them”.
Having failed a string of inspections over the past few years, the Yagoona butcher is one offence away from being shut down, according to sources at the Food Authority.
On Friday Mr Elarab told The Sun-Herald: ”We used the chemical because it makes the meat redder but we do not use it any more.”
He said he had complied with all the demands made by the Food Authority.

Here they are, earlier this month outside the local Jewish community centre, all worked up and raucous, yelling against Reuven Rivlin (“blood on your hands”), Israel (“a police state”) , getting very angry against the Auckland police (screams of “police protect the Zionists!”) and civic authorities, and making general prats of themselves:

Protocol at Lakemba

Not reassuring at all in dispelling “myths”:

A MOSQUE in western Sydney was selling copies of the inflammatory anti-Semitic book The Protocols of the Elders of Zion on the same weekend it opened its doors to the wider community to dispel some of the myths surrounding Islam.

The bookstall on the ground floor of the Lakemba Mosque had in stock about 15 bright-pink paperback editions of The Protocols for sale for $8.

The Protocols is a hoax document first published in Russia in 1903 that purports to be an account of a meeting of Jewish leaders discussing plans for economic world domination. The books were for sale in a small makeshift bookshop lined with ornate copies of the Koran in a room off a car park underneath the mosque.

On a large table in the middle of the room was a jumble sale of books ranging from early childhood education to cookbooks, including a couple of stacks of The Protocols among the piles of Islamic literature.

When asked by The Australian why the mosque was selling The Protocols, the bookshop volunteer hurriedly grabbed the books and said he would take them off the table. “We’re not racist. I don’t want any trouble,’’ he said. “I can’t read, I don’t read the books, I don’t know what’s in them. I don’t decide what books are chosen.’’
