The Illustrious Prime Minister John Howard

The Illustrious Prime Minister John Howard


Further to Victory to Peoples Power, the illustrious Prime Minister of Australia misused and abused anti-Terror legislations and conspired to strip search of the New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clerk. He did so to make Israel happy. He also misused and abused the same legislations to strip search the Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Michael Somare!

Philip Ruddock, the filthy Attorney General of Australia `virtually' asked his daughter to open her legs for an Israeli child molester for power as demonstrated in credible links of Legs are Open for Business.

A few thugs also dared to conspire with the ASIO (Australian Security Intelligence Organisation) against Mr. Faruque Ahmed of infamous Minister for Transport! Initially the ASIO officials were aggressive towards Mr. Ahmed. However, eventually they became very polite to him and refrained from asking any silly questions. At one stage they said, “Faruque how can we keep Australia safe”? Faruque pointed out a few stories from two well-known Sydney dailies and said, “if you continue to incite prejudice, bigotry, racism and sectarianism like these ones based on innuendos and anecdotes, how could you keep the country safe”? They agreed with him and said, “you know the media outlets make money in this way”. Faruque’s response was, “well, the choice should be clear - either money or safety”.


Right now Dr. Mohamed Haneef and many people have fallen to the Howardian trap of racism and sectarianism to reconfirm the Australian Values.

Moral support...Imran Siddiqui, a cousin of Mohamed Haneef's wifePhoto: Eddie Safarik


A RELATIVE of Mohamed Haneef says he has come to Australia to take the detained terrorism suspect home to his distressed wife and infant daughter in India.

Imran Siddiqui, a cousin of Haneef's wife, Firdous Arshiya, arrived in Brisbane late on Saturday night from Bangalore to provide moral support to the Gold Coast-based doctor, who has been charged with providing material support to a terrorist organisation.

After speaking to a forum in Brisbane discussing Haneef's plight yesterday, Mr Siddiqui said his 27-year-old relative was innocent and should be released.

"I've come to take him back - he's innocent, that I know," he said outside the forum at Griffith University's Nathan campus in Brisbane's south.

"We know the truth is that he's not connected to these things. It's not wrong on my part to expect that he should be released with all respect and dignity."

Mr Siddiqui said he was seeking permission to visit Haneef, who is being held at the Wolston Correctional Centre. "I want to tell him that his wife and child are doing fine," he said.
Haneef has yet to meet his daughter, born on June 26.

"I should say in these kind of circumstances, which were never expected, the family has been together and … his wife, we never knew that she was such a strong person," Mr Siddiqui said. "She is traumatised."

He said he had met Haneef for only "a few hours" but his family told him he's a "very nice guy". "The family has chosen me because of my exposure abroad."

Mr Siddiqui told the packed forum Haneef was the victim of circumstances. "After all this hard work, after being a model citizen, after losing his father at a very early age, going through all this, maintaining his family and then right [when] he's relishing the hard work which he's been doing over the years, someone has to face … that," he said.

He urged authorities to ensure that "the truth comes out" and that Haneef was given a fair trial.
"I think authorities should definitely, all over the world, think about this and see that, you know, innocent people are not being targeted," he said.

The Australian Medical Association says the handling of the Haneef case may lead to foreign doctors avoiding Australia.

"There seems to be a thought that doctors from overseas won't want to come to Australia looking at the Haneef issue because they don't want to be a part of this," said the president of the association, Rosanna Capolingua.

"We have to remember that this is not about doctors. This is about a particular situation around an individual who happens to be a doctor. It would be very sad to see doctors dissuaded from coming here."

The profession would struggle without foreign doctors, Dr Capolingua said. "Of our total medical workforce, 30 to 40 per cent are international medical graduates and in some cases they have been in Australia for 10, 20, 30 years."

"Three thousand to 4000 doctors are here on visas, so they are temporary residents and many are working in rural and regional areas … we are very dependent on them."

Who really needs “protection” – Ali or her critics?

Who really needs “protection” – Ali or her critics?



Sunday 3rd June 2007, I went to the City Recital Hall and politely started to distribute my leaflet, "THE POLITICS OF ARAB AND MUSLIM BASHING" outside the $35 per person lecture.


Within ten minutes a police officer amongst the approximately twenty strong contingent, courteously asked me to provide him a copy of my leaflet. He read the item and then placed it in his hip pocket. Soon after most of the security guards present asked me for a copy of the same material and I made it available to them. Almost all of those security guards had a very polite exchange with me regarding Ayaan Hirshi Ali. At the outset, it appeared a common sense approach by those police officers and guards, their interaction with me was an example of the Aussie ‘fair go’ attitude at work. But, the ‘boss’ from inside the hall started to put pressure on the security guards to be nasty and forceful with me. The police officers did not intervene as I was not in breach of any law. The embarrassed leader of the private security said, "Mate, you are breaching the peace here – I have to ask you to move". My startled response was, "You know I don't believe in violence and I have not done anything to incite violence, therefore you must not accuse me of such fictitious grounds”. He then said, "Your materials are offending some people inside and they are getting very hot under their collars – they might attack you". I responded by saying, "That would be their problem and how come they are unable to accept any fair criticism and are threatening ME with violence?"


The embarrassed, yet reasonable security guy who by no means would be risking his security licence to be a paid thug or anyone’s hired, violent stooge. He said, "Look just move fifty meters from the hall and you will be fine". I said, "I don't have to move, but, for the sake of peace I will walk an extra mile".


However, during the period I was leafleting there, I observed that there were a few different types of people attending the lecture. One group refuses to know you if you do not look like them and walked straight past me. Another group treats words like ‘Arab’ or ‘Muslim’ which were in my leaflet like poison! This second grouping like the first refuse to get involved or to even acknowledge you. The third grouping are in between – they are struggling to find their positions.


One over excited, blustering, middle-aged woman said to me, "Your materials are wrong". I replied, "Why"? She then said, "Look, UTS Professor Jamila Hussain is wrong and it is a fact (that she’s wrong)". She attempted to support her opinion by pointing out Professor Jamila's quote that I had used in that same leaflet. I responded to her, "You are presenting your opinion only and it’s not a `fact' to dismiss my materials. I myself regard Professor Jamila Hussain’s statement here as valid". She roared at me in frustration, "Are you calling me a liar?" I said, "Why are you so militant in nature and how come you are not presenting your argument in a logical manner?" She then continued in her provoking way, "Are you one of those killers who are hunting for her"? I replied, "You are reminding me of those brave child killer Israelis who have been murdering unarmed Palestinian children in their kindergartens, schoolyards and backyards with machine guns, apache helicopters and F18s."


Another cranky, flustered old woman approached me too. The security guards found her exchange with me hilarious and said to me later, "Is she your first critic"?


She begun with, “I am a Dutch, I know everything and you know nothing. Are you Australian? Where do you come from? She (Ayaan) is educated. She will fix violent Muslims". With a giggle I said, "That's why your good friends are supporting and financing her. They will dump her after her ‘use by date’ – you watch". She continued, "You should not be allowed to talk in this country – you should be banned."


The irony here is that the security asked me to move because they feared for my safety. In reality, we need protection from the supporters of Ayaan and not the other way around, where as the entire tour of Ayaan is claimed to be based on her needing around-the-clock security!


Is this a case of “violence begets violence” or more precisely, does it confirm my point that the financial backers of Ali are using her to disguise their own violence against Muslims and Muslim countries around the world?


During the initial stages of reporting of Ali by the Australian media the articles were balanced and they also quoted a number of local Muslims who were critical of Ayaan’s blanket condemnation of Islam based on her incorrect stand and faulty reasoning.


After a couple of days of her appearance in Australia the screws were turned, the clear bias emerged and her monologues were selectively used to create deliberate confusion, uproar and cause injury to the Islamic community.


Surely, the Sydney Writers Festival should be about dialogues and robust discussions. That was the reason I distributed my flyer to generate open and fair debate. In the current atmosphere in Australia it would appear the only dialogue possible now is via the internet and not out in the open in real life.


Are Ayaan Hirshi Ali, Ershad Manji, Norma Khoury and a few more confused, yet conveniently compliant soles being used as a distraction away from many burning issues one of which is the longest running concentration camp known to mankind, located in the occupied Palestine? Because, this slow motion Israeli holocaust in Palestine is much more painful than the former one!



THE POLITICS OF MUSLIM AND ARAB BASHING
SYDNEY WRITERS FESTIVAL “PIN-UP GIRL” SHOULD BE READ IN CONTEXT



Ayaan Hirshi Ali, an international guest of the Sydney Writers Festival in 2007 is feted as a persecuted victim of Islam by some Western feminists, intellectuals and the media of Australia. As a progressive Muslim in Australia, I urge attendees at the SWF to take a closer look. It is my belief that Ali has become a pawn of the Right Wing establishment, which promotes racism, pro-American military aggression and pro-Israeli Zionism.

The Labor Party of Holland challenged Ali for making a political career based on lies, prejudice and bigotry – the very things she claimed to be fighting. After September 11, 2001 Dutch politics moved to the right. Sixty percent of the Dutch electorate voted for the far right politician Pim Fortyn in the wake of 9/11. Fortyn was assassinated by an animal rights activist and NOT by a supporter of Islam. Yet, the media focused on Islamic fundamentalism in their coverage of the crime. Dutch government Minister Rita Verdonk took up the anti-Muslim crusade and deported many asylum seekers in Holland back to their country of origin and handed over the reports compiled on why they sought asylum. This exposed asylum seekers to further dangers. A number of them have since been killed. Verdonk denied handing over these reports until she was exposed by some journalists. Verdonk now wants to return Iranian homosexuals to Iran from Holland with full knowledge they may be killed. Ayaan Hirshi Ali is politically aligned with these reactionary forces.

Many Dutch people are happy that Ayaan was kicked out from the Dutch Parliament and since she has left for the United States they do not want her back in their country. They also want to revoke her citizenship. However since arriving in the USA Ayaan has been adopted by the pro-Israeli lobby and the neo-Cons as a valuable weapon in their anti-Muslim crusade. Just like former anti-Vietnam War activists and writers who deserted the progressive Left are now widely promoted in the establishment media to defend the Bush line on Iraq, former Muslims like Ayaan Hirshi Ali, Ershad Manji and others are now promoted to discredit Islam generally, but worse to promote and stir the fans of Western prejudice and ignorance.

Below are a few quotes regarding Ali.

In answer to an email I sent exposing her real agenda, a reply from the Sydney Writers Festival organizing committee noted, “… Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s views are controversial and that the right wing media regularly cite her views to promote their agenda. We have discussed this in depth with her publisher …”

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Islamic law lecturer Jamila Hussain said Hirsi Ali's ideas were extreme and stigmatised Muslims. "I think she'd be better staying where she came from," Ms Hussain said. "I've read enough of her thoughts. It's a narrow and radical opinion, and I don't agree with it. She's obviously had some dreadful experiences, but they're not typical."

Nada Roude, a young female spokesperson from the NSW Islamic Council, said Hirsi Ali's comments on the prophet Mohammed were a "no-go zone". By this she meant her criticisms (on the subject of paediphilia) were without foundation, according to non-Arab, non-Muslim scholars of religious history. (The Australian May 29, 2007)

Islamic education consultant Silma Ihram said the writer's perception of the religion was inaccurate. “(She) has an axe to grind due to her background suffering from unfortunate Somali tribal practices,” Ms Ihram said.

“Combine that with a desire for wealth as a Somali European migrant and it's natural for her to achieve both by publicly slandering Islam and obtaining immediate media attention.” Comment of the Islamic friendship Association spokesman Keysar Trad (Daily Telegraph May 29, 2007)

Ayaan’s anti-Muslim diatribe should be read in the context of the Iraq War, Howard’s “War on Terror”, the Cronulla riots, talkback radio and the coming APEC talks. There is a deliberate attempt to stereotype Muslim and Arab Australians. Even those who oppose the ‘divide and rule’ tactics of the State let their guard down when an articulate Third World women is speaking about the “backward” and so-called “anti-Modern nature of Islam. They will not scrutinize Ayaan’s political agenda in the same way they might Piers Ackerman or Gerard Henderson – even if she is essentially saying the same thing.

Sure there are “rat bags” and “fundamentalists” within the global Islamic religion and culture. But for thousands of years the Islamic culture co-existed with Jewish people and their culture. It is only now with the rise of political Zionism and the State of Israel, defended by the American Right and US Fundamentalists, that fakes such as Ayaan and others are given prominence with their “Islam is Seventh Century and anti-Modern” line.

Have a look at some of the “extremist” positions from the pro-Zionist camp below and then ask yourself is Ayaan and her supporters correct in ‘casting the first stone’ only against Islam:

“[in the event of sex between a Jewish man and a Gentile woman] the main punishment is inflicted on the Gentile woman; she must be executed, even if she was raped by the Jew." (Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years by Israel Shahak, page 87)

"We Jews are going to bring war on Germany." (David Brown, President of American Hebrew, in 1934, quoted in Edmonson's I Testify, page 188).
"The Second World War is being fought for the defense of the fundamentals of Judaism." (The Chicago Jewish Sentinel, October 8, 1942).

“The seed [children] of Christians valued same as the seed of a beast”. (Kethuboth [3b]).”It is permitted to take the body and the life of a Gentile." (Sepher Ikkarim III c25)"We Jews have spoiled the blood of all the races of Europe. Taken as a whole, everything is Jewdified. Our ideas animate everything. Our spirit reigns over the world. We are the Lords" (Dr. Kurt Munzer, The Way to Zion).

”We Jews, we, the destroyers, will remain the destroyers for ever. Nothing that you will do will meet our needs and demands." (Maurice Samuel, You Gentiles, pages 152, 155, and 147).

The New Weapons of Mass Destruction

The New Weapons of Mass DestructionAyaan Hirshi Ali is one of the new ‘weapons of mass destruction’. She started a career out of lying. Ayaan obtained her Dutch citizenship and made documentaries based on false and fabricated materials. Now she is exposed, lost her position in the Dutch Parliament and her citizenship supposed to be revoked too.However, she found a warm place in the warmongering Bush lead US administration and the neo-cons are giving her plenty of support and publicity.

The Sydney Writers' Festivals response is fair and proper in their dealings with her.I hope prejudice and bigotry will be defeated by truth and reality and none of us should fell for any of them.

Thanks in advance.

Ayaan Hirshi Ali

Ayaan Hirshi Ali was taken on by the Labour Party of Holland when she started her political career based on lies, prejudice and bigotry. September the 11th happened, Holland moved to the right. Today, Islam and Arab bashings are the most popular sports in the town!60 % of the Dutch voted for the “far right politician” Pim Fortyn. Pim Fortyn was shot by an animal activist and not by an Islamite.Hirshi Ayaan Ali is the biggest ally of Minister Rita Verdonk, the very right winged politician like Pim Fortyn. Minister Verdonk is responsible for sending back many asylum seekers and has given their governments the reports on why they applied for asylum. This is illegal and is dangerous for the people who are send back. Several of them have been killed. Verdonk denied sending any reports until some journalist came up with evidence. Rita had no choice than admitting it. Verdonk want now to send back Iranian asylum seekers who are homosexual, knowing that they are going to be killed.

American Enterprise Institute and many zionised and neo-con organizations are behind Ayaan from the day one.Aggressive and lunatic Theo van Gogh is a chain smoking, heavy drinking, cocaine using person despised by most Dutch and decent people around the world. People used to ask him, “why do you make mokumentary based on lies”? He response used to be, “everyone knows I am a lunar park clown and no one takes me seriously”. Most of the Dutch people are happy that Ayaan was kicked out from the Dutch Parliament and they do not want her back in their country.Anyway, he was killed by an misguided 18 yeas old youth and not as a result of a huge conspiracy organised by ‘violent Muslims’. Sadly, such a killing gave Theo virtual sainthood to some level and obviously no one supports such a killing. Yet, predictable section of the world media and powerbrokers are using this incident to demonise Muslims and elevating this professional liar and bigot Ayaan into sainthood.

In old days, they usd to load people to send them in “Crusades”. The result is undeniable and well-known – the unnecessary and avoidable death and destruction in the name of religion. To day, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Ershad Manji and Salman Rushdie are used to demonise Muslims and Arabs. Why is it so? Is it to make Israel look good?

Critic of Islam is exposed on claim of asylum and the love child of Adolph Hitler’s predictable praise should ring the alarm bell.Here a Muslim is Guilty for holding a placard but in Denmark these peoples are not guilty for depicting Muslims and their prophet as terrorists! Ironically, the same kinds of freedom lovers love to fight everyone and prevent us all from telling us the truth. They want to ban Al-Jazeera for debating issues like Zionism and Anti-Semitism, Zionism is worse than Nazism and If Americans Knew. Where is the consistency may I ask?

Surely Israeli Holocaust, Holocaust continuum, The Iron Wall, A list of UN Resolutions against "Israel" and The Holocaust as political asset are the real issues. Iraq pullout would hurt Israel, Iraq Was Invaded to Secure Israel and the Middle East Formula for Peace along with The Green Zone Follies are a few good examples to prove "Who control America"? Obviously, the answer is Israelis control America and these are only a few good examples to pin point the undeniable fact who really controls America and why the poor Americans are dying like dogs and cats for Israel!

The Brutal Zionist Role in the Holocaust, BEN-GURION'S SCANDALS, Zionism Data Page, Palestinian Holocaust in the Holy Land, Oil, Israel and Iraq, ZIONIST WAR CRIME REPARATIONS 'ISRAEL MUST PAY THE PRICE, Naturalized Chinaman and They Thought They Were Free for your enlightenment.
requires some degree of skepticism and a disclaimer to balance the reality in order to avoid deliberate prejudice and bigotry based on falsehoods.

Allah's Vulgar Language in the Quran

Allah's Vulgar Language in the Quran

Well, Sandy... IMHO, when the ancient religious works were written, they used the language, beliefs and customs of their times. It beats me why people go into them and try to tear them apart and look for dirt. They will only find history.The ancient religious works may outdated as far as their beliefs, rules and rites are concerned, but they all offer a great deal in understanding the history of humanity.

Sanjay,

Thanks for your contribution. I estimate, kisan finds his moral guidance from toilet blocks of his locality and I refuse to waste my time with him. He is full of prejudice and bigotry and they are based on falsehood and irrationalism.

Re: Allah's Vulgar Language in the Quran

Kisan,You are back to your tricks. For a couple of weeks I am out and you start on your demented, ill - informed campaign.Well, I guess I cannot reform everybody.

Your article--------------------------------------First of all since, the author whom you have quoted has translated the ancient arabic into english, may I see his credentials as a leading linguist.In case you do not know, languages evolve and the meaning of words change over times, if words remain the same.Let me educate you.In modern english, there is word which is used as slang.

FUCK.

Yes that is the word.today If I write - Kisan fucked the ground - it will mean that either you rub yourself on the ground or there is a part missing which will show the person.

Now, and read very carefully, if I were to right the same statement 800 years ago, it would mean,Kisan has sowed some bad seeds in the ground (in the agricultural sense) no metaphors here.Why because,in the early ages english the word Fuck meant to sow bad seeds whereas today, I guess you know as that is what you have been trying with asian cultures.So, I hope you understand that when I query the credentials of the writer, it is to ascertain that whatever he has translated is accurate and is so acknowledged by the peers in Linguistic fields.Now coming to my second point -EVEN IF IT IS CORRECT.So what. Go through the Bible, both old and new testament. You will find plenty of cuss words there to the extent that some of those words, they were names of biblical cities, are used today to denote cuss words.I mean SODOM.

The word sodomize comes from there because the biblical god believed that people of sodom are haveing unnatural sex and hence should be penalised.Moreove, both the bibles talk about sons of Israel (another myth exploded - Israel was not a place but a person and when bible talks of Israel - it talks of descendants of Israel -the person, there was no place called israel in biblical times, it was canaan and so on. If you want a list, go to bible and read it) and gives them the permission to do untold things to people who did not believe in Jewish God,similarly for christian god.So you see, vulgar language is not the sole propriety of Islam, it is in every regimented religion, i.e., the religion which follows a book and does not permit any deviation.I hope you get the message, if not then I will be forced to open the bible and start quoting. Trust me, it will make you blush.Thanks,

Sanjay
