The Age presents ”Faces of Islam”, hosted by its Muslim business reporter, Nabila Ahmed.

She is “angry”, of course, and wants to present the facts about Muslims in Australia:

Muslim history in Australia dates back to 1650. That’s more than 100 years before the First Fleet.

Still, this is a more modest take on our history than that of the Mufti of Australia, Sheik Taj el-Din el-Hilali, who famously declared:

The Europeans issued a false birth certificate for it when the British seafarer Captain James Cook reached it. However, Australia already had the most ancient race of men on the face of the earth – the Aborigine people… They continue to live their primitive lives to this very day.

But when you become acquainted with their traditions among their tribes, you find that they have customs such as circumcision, marriage ceremonies, respect for tribal elders, and burial of the dead – all customs that show that they were connected to ancient Islamic culture before the Europeans set foot in Australia.

That is, Islam had roots deep in the Australian soil and read the Qur’an and called to prayer before the bells of the churches rang in Australia. The best evidence of this is the hundreds of mosques in the center of Australia built by the Afghans.

*  Hundreds of mosques? Has anyone ever seen them? 

Speaking of whom:

The Australian Federal Police has cleared the Sydney Muslim cleric, Sheik Taj el-Din Al Hilaly, of allegations he diverted charitable funds to a terrorist group.

* Once again: Islam claims the world. Islam seeks world domination.

* The hihabbed female Australian ‘revert’ in the video is as twisted as they come…

* Islam: Where whining and bitching has become an artform…

Something is really rotten at CNN. Stinking, decayed and rotten. Smells like death. Capt Diggs sends this along

In this CNN clip video, they challenge the Memri translation of what is said, based upon CNN “translators”

The context doesn’t fit the CNN “translation”. Mickey Hamouse asks the girl on the phone : “what do we want to do?”…and her answer is “annihilate the Jews”…which fits the context of the question.

“Mickey” asks “What do we want to do (to liberate Al Aqsa)

Girl on camera says: ahna bidna… we want to)

and the girl on the phone (off camera) answers: harad al yahood (annihilate the Jews)

I got this translation from an Arabic speaking Israeli.
And as I said, CNN’s translation doesn’t fit the context of the question asked of the girl on the phone.

Per CNN (who does not dispute the question “Mickey” asks);

“Mickey” : What do we want to do…?
Girl on phone: “Jews are killing us” ( CNN “translation”)

That makes no sense.

Odds are the CNN “translators” are Arab or Muslim who thought they could fix things by changing what was said. I wish this could be addressed directly to CNN.

FOX is a bit more honest: Click here

Eric Shawn, FOX news: “It looks like Mickey Mouse, it sounds like Mickey Mouse, but do you think Mickey Mouse would ever tell kids to fight Americans and the Jews?”

Diane Disney Miller, Walt Disney’s daughter: “What we’re dealing with here is pure evil and you can’t ignore that.”

The New York Daily News front page headline screamed: “Terror Mouse,” and called the Hamas TV program “perverse.”

PMW director Itamar Marcus was quoted in the Daily News: “It’s a brilliant way of getting the most horrific messages into the consciousness of young children… It’s fun. You laugh at Farfur. You don’t realize you are being poisoned.”

* But not only that, they give plenty of airtime to the Arab creep who whines about the evil Israelis who drive those gentle Pali-Arabs crazy, ‘oppression, apartheid system’- you heard it all before.

And finally, Attika Schubert from CNN moralizes: “Nothing is simple in the ME…’

* Well, they can’t sweep this under the table. This is gonna bite them right in their fat CNN asses…

* WoJ reader comment: And the hilarious thing is that the LEFT blogosphere is spewing hate and venom over the fact that CNN has given space to Glen Beck (who wouldn’t let this vile story get swept under the rug)!!!

Sarkozy opposes polygamy

* So far he has been making the right noises. Of course, every Western politician should oppose polygamy, but in an age when it is widely tolerated in Europe, Sarkozy’s statement stands out. Here is a rough-and-ready translation (corrections gratefully accepted) of his French statement (thanks to Dhimmi Watch)

Question: What do you think of polygamy?
Answer: I respect all cultures throughout the world, but so that it is quite clear: if I am elected President of the Republic, I will not accept women being treated as inferior to men. The French Republic holds these values: respect for women, equality between men and women. Nobody has the right to hold a prisoner, even within his own family. I say it clearly, that polygamy is prohibited in the territory of the French Republic. I will fight against female genital mutilation and those who do not wish to understand that the values of the French Republic include freedom for women, the dignity of women, respect for women — they do not have any reason to be in France. If our laws are not respected and if one does not wish to understand our values, if one does not wish to learn French, then one does not have any reason to be on French territory.

Absorbing Muslims tackles radicalism: PM

Prime Minister John Howard says assimilating new citizens into the Australian community helps tackle the problems of radicalism among a minority of Muslims.

In Tuesday’s budget, Treasurer Peter Costello allocated $461,000 to programs that help Muslim communities integrate into the wider Australian community.

“I think it’s in the interests of everybody,” Mr Howard told Southern Cross Broadcasting.

“There’s every reason to try and assimilate – and I unapologetically use that word ‘assimilate’ – a section of the community, a tiny minority of whose members have caused concern.

“After all, once somebody’s become a citizen of this country the best thing we can do is to absorb them in the mainstream.”

But he denied the measure was about trying to assimilate people’s religious beliefs.

“The reason that religion is used as a descriptor is it’s a small category of radical Muslims that have adopted attitudes that we think are bad for the country and the most sensible thing to do is try and change those attitudes.”

* Allowing the spread of Islam, more mosques and madrassahs and unhindered da’awa (proselytizing) including prison Islam (Prislam) will certainly not help integration or assimilation.

Perhaps Howard should have used the money for a study of how the integration efforts are going in Europe.

France would have been a good start….

Taliban makes bombs from Dutch aid 

Expatica via Dhimmi Watch 

AMSTERDAM – Dutch aid to Afghan civilians is falling into the hands of terrorists. Handsaws and batteries distributed by the Dutch have been used in roadside bombs constructed by Taliban fighters, magazine Elsevier reports this week.

As a result, troops in Uruzgan are being ordered not to distribute any more handsaws or radios. The troops at Kamp Holland have also been instructed not to discard batteries until they are completely empty. A spokesperson for the defence department did not want to confirm these reports on Wednesday.

The director of the military intelligence and security service (MIVD), General Pieter Cobelens, said in Elsevier: “One of the tasks of the MIVD is to warn of the unwanted side effects of the reconstruction mission. But the political and military leadership at the defence department must evaluate whether reconstruction activities should be stopped as a result.”

* Amazing that all Islamic terrorists seem to have a direct line to Allah and claim to find their instructions in the Koran. Even more amazing that there are millions of Islamic spin-doctors out there who tell us it isn’t so.

Curiously most of this Islam-obscuring bullshit propaganda is promoted like some kind of new age message among the effeminate leftie-loony journo’s that pervert the western media these days:

From Al Bebeceera

Yassin Omar and five other men deny the charges (of course)

An alleged 21/7 bomber has told a court Allah instructed him to put a rucksack on when police came to arrest him.
Woolwich Crown Court heard officers almost shot Yassin Omar, who was found standing in a bath wearing what they believed to be a bag of explosives.

But the 26-year-old denied wanting to be killed by police with a Koran on his back in order to become a martyr.

Six men deny conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions on London transport on 21 July 2005.

Earlier this week, Mr Omar admitted setting off a device on a Tube train near Warren Street, but says it was carried out in protest at the Iraq war and was not meant to be deadly.

Bucket and books

Giving evidence for the fourth day, he was asked if he wanted to die with the Koran on his back.

“That is not the case,” he replied.

“If they saw I had a rucksack on me then they would think twice before they shot me, and it worked. Allah answered my supplication,” he said.

* Memo to Sohail Mohammed: this could be someone else daring to associate Islam with terrorism. Maybe it would be more fruitful for you to direct your efforts to dissociate Islam from terrorism at convincing people like Yassin Omar to stop plotting terror attacks in the name of Islam, rather than complaining about law enforcement.

Christopher Hitchens on returning to his old neighborhood of Finsbury Park:

Londonistan Calling

It’s impossible to exaggerate how far and how fast this situation has deteriorated. Even at the time of the Satanic Verses affair, as long ago as 1989, Muslim demonstrations may have demanded Rushdie’s death, but they did so, if you like, peacefully. And they confined their lurid rhetorical attacks to Muslims who had become apostate. But at least since the time of the Danish-cartoon furor, threats have been made against non-Muslims as well as ex-Muslims (see photograph), the killing of Shiite Muslim heretics has been applauded and justified, and the general resort to indiscriminate violence has been rationalized in the name of god. Traditional Islamic law says that Muslims who live in non-Muslim societies must obey the law of the majority. But this does not restrain those who now believe that they can proselytize Islam by force, and need not obey kuffar law in the meantime. I find myself haunted by a challenge that was offered on the BBC by a Muslim activist named Anjem Choudary: a man who has praised the 9/11 murders as “magnificent” and proclaimed that “Britain belongs to Allah.” When asked if he might prefer to move to a country which practices Shari’a, he replied: “Who says you own Britain anyway?” A question that will have to be answered one way or another.

Read it all, its  a must  read…

* But why? Is there no law enforcement anymore in Australia? Or is Mick Keelty, the police chief of NSW just unwilling or unable to take Hilali down?

Now he can relax and go back to saying crazy stuff.

“Hilali cleared of charity terror funds allegation,” from AAP

DISASTER-prone Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilali has been cleared of claims he diverted charitable funds to the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah.
The controversial sheik has been told by the Australian Federal Police that he has no case to answer.

The Lebanese Muslim Association was told in writing on Tuesday there was no evidence to support the claim that the sheik had diverted $16,000 in donations from Australian Muslims to a radio station with links to Hezbollah.

“The AFP assessment has not identified any evidence to support an investigation of persons for terrorist financing offences,” AFP spokesman Warren Gray wrote.

* Comment from Hugh Fitzgerald from Jihad watch:

This al-Hilali case, which stops long before a trial, is another sort of injustice. Not enough evidence, you say? Don’t be absurd. Read what this Al-Hilali has said, has written. Any and all means should be found to remove him from Australian society. The countries of the West, and of the non-Western Infidel world, have to figure out what they need to do, what needs to be changed, in order to protect themselves against an unprecedented threat, a threat for which their criminal justice systems, from investigative powers to the knowledge possessed by the police, members of other security services (domestic and foreign), judges (who should be chosen, as jury members should be chosen, only from those who know something, even a good deal, about Islam — and I don’t mean by reading armstrongs and espositos and assorted Mesanostrans) are, at this point, simply inadequate.

The Law Reviews should be full of such articles: the inadequacies of our own systems, created by people who, brilliant as they may have been (think of the Framers), were rational, Western men, well-read children of the Enlightenment, some more and some less believers in a bengin faith, who could scarcely have imagined the presence, or menace, of Islam all over the this country and the Lands of the Infidels, all the way to Australia.

Unbelievable:

The Hamas Mickey Mouse story is beginning to get really weird. Who’s pulling the strings here?

The video posted to YouTube by Palestinian Media Watch has now been removed “due to terms of use violation.”

*  First it was said they would take this hateful Rat-Show off the air. 

However, yesterday it was reported that Hamas was NOT going to take this Jihad propaganda, which is indoctrinating children with genocidal bloodlust off the air:

Hey, kids! Mickey the Jihadist Rat will air again!

“Hamas TV refuses to axe contested kids cartoon,” from Middle East Times, with thanks to MM:

RAMALLAH, West Bank — A Hamas-run television channel has defied a Palestinian government request to axe a controversial children’s cartoon in which a Mickey Mouse look-alike urges resistance against Israel.
A senior official working for Al Aqsa (Jerusalem) television in the Gaza Strip said that the program – “Tomorrow’s Pioneers” – would air as normal this Friday in defiance of information minister Mustafa Barghouti.

“The program will continue and it will be broadcast tomorrow at 4.00 pm [1300 GMT]. Mustafa Barghouti misunderstood the issue,” said the official on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press.

Earlier, the information ministry in the West Bank city of Ramallah said: “A politically-oriented children’s television program was withdrawn by the Al Aqsa TV station today following a request by the ministry of information.”

Barghouti said that the program adopted a “mistaken approach” to the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation and that it was wrong to use children’s programs to convey political messages.

In the program, the Mickey Mouse look-alike named Farfur and a little girl urge resistance against Israel and the United States – along with stressing the importance of daily prayers and drinking milk.

* Calling for genocide and world domination is hardly ‘resistance’- unfortunately, what seems to happen here is that WE  will be banned from seeing it, while Pali-Arab children will be indoctrinated  with it. You go figure… 

“When the government says ‘Islamic militants,’ it sends a message to the public that Islam and militancy are synonymous”
Another “Muslims fear backlash” story. “Muslims fear backlash from Fort Dix attack plot,” by Wayne Parry for Associated Press, with thanks to Jihad Watch
FORT DIX, N.J. — Authorities’ description of six suspects charged with plotting an attack on Fort Dix as “Islamic militants” is causing renewed worry among New Jersey’s Muslim community.
Hundreds of Muslim men from New Jersey were rounded up and detained by authorities in the months following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, but none were connected to that plot.

Now, Muslims fear a resurgence of anti-Islamic sentiment and incidents of bias.

“If these people did something, then they deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law,” said Sohail Mohammed, a lawyer who represented scores of detainees after the 2001 attacks. “But when the government says ‘Islamic militants,’ it sends a message to the public that Islam and militancy are synonymous. Don’t equate actions with religion.”

Now wait a minute, Mr. Mohammed. These guys had video of men firing rifles while calling for jihad and shouting “Allahu akbar.” They had video of Osama bin Laden and others who couch all their actions in the language of Islamic jihad. One of them said, “I’m doing it in the name of Allah.” And now you, Mr. Mohammed, are warning officials not to call them “Islamic militants”? Shouldn’t you be working within the Islamic community to create a wider separation between Islam and militancy, instead of pretending that it is American law enforcement officials who are arbitrarily making this equation? It was the Duka brothers and the other Fort Dix jihadists who made the equation. The officials are just noting the manifest fact. Would you prefer they ignore unpleasant or inconvenient facts?

The Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee’s New Jersey chapter participated in a conference call Tuesday with FBI officials to discuss security matters.
“What we’re all afraid of is a new backlash,” said Hesham Mahmoud, a spokesman for the group.

More Backlash BS

Cue standard “Muslims fear backlash, deplore terrorism” story

This one is by Cydney Long for Philadelphia’s CBS3.com Let’s see — have we touched all the bases? Muslims shocked by terror charges? Check. The jihadists don’t represent all Muslims? Check. Islam is a religion of peace? Check. Qur’an good? Check. If you blame the religion you’re blaming all Muslims? Check. Good, Cydney! You get an A+ for this one!

(CBS 3) VORHEES, N.J. Muslims in the region are bracing themselves for a possible backlash in response to the terror plot arrests.
Why? Have they received threats? None are reported in this story. Has there been a backlash against Muslims after any other jihadists were arrested? No — Americans are decent, fair-minded people who don’t persecute the innocent, to the extent that CAIR’s Nihad Awad has to exhort Muslims to play the victim game more effectively, and CAIR has to trump up hate crimes.

And for many Muslims, news of the arrests comes as a surprise.
“It shocks me, it shocks me,” Rahman said.

* Sounds more like they’re shocked that the plot has been uncovered.

Aussies attacked with machetes

Sofitel Marrakech

Sudden Jihad Syndrome?

Naahhh, it was an ‘Isolated Incident’- what are you, some kind of Islamophobe? But anyway, we wouldn’t wanna hurt our tourist season, it has only just begun, right? 

Article from AAP with thanks to Rosie

TWO Australians relaxing by a hotel pool in Morocco with other guests have been hacked with machetes in a senseless, unprovoked attack.

Poolside

Hotel guests say John Parkinson, from Victoria, and Dianna Knox, from NSW, were slashed a number of times about the arms and shoulders by a man wielding a machete in each hand.

The attacker’s rampage began after he climbed a into the pool area of the Sofitel Marrakech about 11.15am local time yesterday.

The pair’s travelling companions say there was no apparent motive for the disturbing attack, and no one else was attacked.

Security staff caught the attacker, handing him over to police as the Australians were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

They had arrived in Marrakech the day before, part of a Pharmaceutical Society of Australia study tour involving 190 society members and their partners.

Society vice-president Debbie Rigby said the pair were sitting about the pool relaxing when the man came over the wall and started hacking them with two machetes.

“Everybody else was running away screaming,” she said in a telephone call to Sydney from the Marrakech hotel.

Isolated incident

“As far we can tell it was an isolated incident, and the tour will continue.”

Ms Rigby said the pair’s injuries were not life-threatening.

“The injuries to both of them were to the arms and shoulder,” she said.

Ms Rigby said the attack had disturbed everybody on the tour, but that a counselling expert with them was available to help anybody who needed it.

A hotel worker said the Australians were struck three or four times each by the attacker, suffering cuts to their arms, legs and upper body.

“They are our guests, they told us that they are Australian,” the hotel worker said.

‘Not too badly injured’

“They are not too badly injured,” he said.

The attacker had previously received hospital treatment in the central town of Fes for mental problems, a police source said.

Hotel manager Najib Mountassir said: “It’s an isolated act, the woman is resting in her room, but we have done tests for the man although his head injury is light.”
