  A prominent Muslim leader has apologised for statements conceding his religion allows for a husband to beat his wife as a “last resort”, saying he was “clumsy” in a television interview.

Keysar Trad, the president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, said the verse in the Koran that condones domestic violence “plays on the psychology of the man”, who would never resort to a physical beating because gifts like flowers, chocolates or a dinner date would come first.

“I’ve studied that verse in depth and I’ve discussed it with a number of Islamic scholars,” Mr Trad told Sky News’s Andrew Bolt last night.

“What this verse is saying is playing on the psychology of the man saying ‘violence is a last resort’. The first thing you must do is counselling.”

He said while part of the phrase is often translated as “admonish”, the Arabic word is closer to “give advice” or “engage in counselling”.

“What it does is a calming effect before you even consider using your hand, before you even consider any act of violence. Have you checked box number one, which is counselling? Have you checked box two? What does counselling entail?” he said.

“Well, maybe next time you should bring her a bunch of flowers, maybe next time you should bring her a box of chocolates, maybe next time you should take her out for dinner.”

This afternoon, Mr Trad released a statement categorically condemning all violence against women.

Mika Brzezinski: Controlling Exactly What People Think Is Our Job

Liberal establishment propagandist Mika Brzezinski let slip a highly illuminating remark during MSNBC’s Morning Joe, while fretting over the dawning realization that people trust recent convert to conservatism Donald Trump more than they trust the media:

“[Trump] could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that, that is our job.”

If that was your job, Mika — you’re fired.  (Moonbattery)

West Australian premier Colin Barnett has urged imams and Muslim voters to make their decision about how they vote based on how welcome and supported they have been made to feel by his government.

Colin Barnett never found it necessary to ask WA voters whether they wanted to ‘welcome’ Muslims. There is a price to pay for treason.

Trad: Islam says beat wives only as “a last resort”

Yes, the regular rioting in parts of Sweden are Trump inspired. Particularly the 2008 Malmö riots.

“Like a Warzone”: Muslim Migrants RIOT, LOOT, TORCH Cars, ATTACK POLICE

Riots broke out on Monday night in the suburb of Rinkeby, where a majority of residents were born overseas, just hours after the country’s Prime Minister attacked U.S President Donald J. Trump for linking mass migration with rising violence in Sweden.

Swedish journalists are controlled by the Social Democrat party.

Sweden is a rouge state, trying to be a superpower through the UN. But the “humanitarian superpower”, as they call themselves, is a failed state today. The police have lost control over the no-go-zones, and have no resources to investigate the almost daily murders.

Women have to give birth in their cars due to the distance to maternity hospitals. Fire fighters cannot fight the daily problem of burning cars, because the immigrants throwing stones at them.

Ambulances are equipped with riot-gear, sexual assaults have skyrocketed. The whole social security system will collapse within a near future due to the ambition of our politicians to become the humanitarian superpower of the world.

Let’s be clear about this:

If you oppose halal certification because it is an affront to your ‘faith’ you are a racist bigot.

If you are a Muslim male and you choose to be sexist and a misogynist because of your ‘faith’ then that is to be endorsed and encouraged in our public schools and universities.

The Australian

At least three of the nation’s leading universities are advising students to respect Muslims on campus by acknowledging followers of Islam are not permitted to shake hands with the opposite sex.
The information, which is ­designed to foster a greater understanding of “Muslim identities’’, is provided online for students at Adelaide’s Flinders University, Perth’s Curtin University and the University of Western Australia.

.
The Australian revealed earlier this week a public school in Sydney’s west — Hurstville Boys Campus of Georges River College — had adopted an “agreed protocol’’ endorsed by the NSW Education Department permitting Muslim male students to decline to shake hands with females ­because of their faith. The practice has been denounced by many ­senior Islamic figures.

Bishop said yes to scarf. Marine says “non”

Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun

When our foreign minister, Julie Bishop, visited Iran she put a scarf over her head.

I wasn’t happy, although professional feminists said nothing:

The foreign minister, Julie Bishop, should have “stood up for western values” and shunned the Islamic headscarf during a recent visit to Iran, conservative commentator Andrew Bolt said.

Bishop followed local requirements legislating that women must cover their heads, wearing both a headscarf and a hat upon her arrival in the country.

Bolt said the requirement amounted to the “subjugation of women” and said the ensemble looked “ridiculous” on the foreign minister, who was in Iran for the first high-level meeting between Canberra and Tehran in 12 years.

Really, the hat looked even worse.

It was as if Bishop was trying to pretend she was making a fashion statement instead of a statement of submission.

But when Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s National Front, visited the Grand Mufti of Lebanon this week she walked out rather than submit.

See her go.

Marine Le Pen, the National Front leader, has provoked a row by refusing to wear a headscarf to meet an eminent Islamic scholar in Beirut.

The French far-right presidential candidate walked out of the offices of Sheikh Abdel-Latif Derian, the grand mufti of Lebanon, after being told she could not see him unless she covered her head.

The incident is likely to bolster Ms Le Pen’s popularity among National Front supporters, many of whom are hostile towards Islam. But it may undermine her attempt to portray herself, during a two-day visit to Lebanon, as a serious future world leader, not least because the trip included her first meeting with a head of state — President Aoun.

I rather think the voters will appreciate a leader upholding her own (liberated) customs than submitting to another’s.

G’Day Bibi and Welcome to Australia Mr and Mrs Netanyahu!

The Prime Minister of Israel

Thanks to Q-Soc

Apologies for our islamophile PM Turnbull. On the occasion of the first visit of a sitting Israeli PM to Australia, the most agile Lord Wentworth couldn’t be bothered to get out of bed and meet a foreign head of state at Sydney’s Kingsford Smith airport at 6:30am.

We also note the absence of the red carpet and honour guard, as is custom for visiting heads of state. In Turnbull’s Australia, is this reserved for despots from the OIC only?

Once told that customs were different in Lebanon, Ms Le Pen walked out of the building and left in her car.  (JW)

“Far-right” French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen cancelled a meeting with Lebanon’s Grand Mufti after refusing to wear a headscarf.

Brava to Marine Le Pen! She is the model of a modern leader who respects human rights and equality for all, unlike her leftist faux-feminist political counterparts of Sweden’s “first feminist government,”who donned headscarves in Iran, and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, who sat with a headscarf in the back corner of a mosque while the men prayed. Le Pen refused to bow in shame to a misogynistic culture in which men subjugate women as inferiors.

The regular use of the term “far-right” to describe sensible politicians such as Le Pen and citizens who refuse to be subjugated by Islamic supremacists is intended to malign them and discredit their fine work.

Ms Le Pen said that in a meeting in Egypt with the Grand Imam of al-Azhar – considered by some Muslims to be the highest authority in Sunni Islamic thought – she had not been forced to cover her head.
