Sheik Hilali to form political Party

[minux]

Speaking through an interpreter, the mufti told ABC Radio Australian Muslims need proper political representation.
Sheik Hilali, who has already established a political committee of Muslim community elders, said a political party was the next step and predicted one would be formed by the end of the year.
"There's a new committee with people who have some experience in politics and most certainly in the future there must be something along those lines," he said.
Last week Muslim leaders banned five Islamic clerics, including Sheik Hilali, from talking to the media after they delivered a string of "anti-Australian" messages.
The letter, obtained by The Australian, demanded the imams "pause and desist" from talking to any media outlet, in particular Sydney's Arabic community radio station Voice of Islam.
The Lebanese Muslim Association warned the clerics that they could lose their positions as spiritual leaders at the nation's largest mosque if they defied the ban.
Spokesman Keysar Trad said Sheik Hilali's vision was for a party founded on universal human values and open to all faiths and would attempt to win elections at all levels of Australian politics.
Mr Trad said the idea of forming a party had been around for some years but had not progressed past drafting a manifesto.
The mufti's proposal was for a party to represent Muslim interests without excluding people of other religions, Mr Trad said.
"It's not going to be a party of Muslims only and it's not going to be called the Muslim Party," he said.
"The whole idea is to promote fairness across the board and specific values, such as honesty and dignity and equality.
"I think it's a good idea to establish a party that can act as an alternative for people who are no longer satisfied with the major parties."
The party would fight to put a stop to politicians using the Muslim community as a "political football" and work on promoting greater social harmony, Mr Trad said.
It would also try to tackle long-standing legal issues affecting Australian Muslims, such as divorces and marriages not being recognised in other countries.
"We've discussed this with the government on a number of instances but we've never actually found them to be able to come up with a solution," he said.
Sheik Hilali caused community outrage late last year when he compared women to meat in a sermon. He later appeared to make disparaging remarks about Australia's history as a convict settlement on Egyptian television.

I am sure this party will be like all other muslim political parties, we will see the preaching of tolerance, understanding and most of all peace.
When hell freezes over.
I am all for freedom of speech and being free to create a political party in a democracy, but this idiot can't even speak english it would just be a joke for this to happen.
Just one other thing, i believe this party will be founded and based on universal human values...lol
So what are others thoughts on this?

It's just plain stupid. Look at everything they want enforced now, it'd only get worse if they have a political party to back them up.

Bye bye Australian life as we know it...

All this muslim stuff is getting way out of hand. First muslim only bathrooms in a Uni, this idiot (Sheik) constantly making "anti-Australian" comments, and now I hear that all muslim women in Australia are to have 4 children to increase the muslim race within our country. (Whether that is true or not, I don't know)

Whats going to happen when Australia turns into a muslim country? Are they going to flee here and take up refuge in another country and do the same thing?

I wish the media would give some attention to the many Moderates out there instead of solely focusing on the outrageous. But I guess controversy sells papers.

Their main goals is for islam to be the predominate and dominate religion here in australia.
Little johnny is helping them with the baby bonus scheme and is playing right into their hands..He is using the excuse Australia needs a bigger population.So to johnny howard,we are running out of water and jobs are going overseas. How are you going to support these extra people.

[Lumps of cheese]

As long as this maniac is still preaching his tripe then moderate muslims will be always cast in the same light.
It's high time something was done about him and the others preaching hate in this country.
This party will do nothing to tame down his opinion.

Allahustralia the new islamic state.

May God help Australia.

Minux I'd be happy to pay 4 the bullet, I'm sure you could plenty of ppl here to give you an alibi

[Bravotwozero]

I guess Pauline Hanson & One Nation were ahead of their time!

[kalais6]

Australia needs to adopt a harder line in regards to this sort of thing or it faces going the same way as the UK for example.
Here is a man who lives in this country but refuses to integrate into the existing society, learn the language or accept the existing culture and values and yet he is seen as a cultural leader..............Get f***ed.

Love it or Leave. I reckon we could throw the hat around and get enough coin together to send this *** back to where ever he came from.

And for the record this isnt aimed at every muslim as I have muslim friends and they are great people, but guys like this **** me right off.

I know what i could do, however, to me it isnt worth spending my life in jail if i were to be caught, the man just isnt worth it. One day he will be walking across a road somewhere and someones brakes will fail with the accelerator sticking on.

Why don't we extradite the Sheik and Pauline Hanson to an island nation. Solve a lot of problems.

He's a tool anyway know one takes him seriously same as Pauline Hanson's idea about printing more money to solve our financial issues.

[VTSSDUDE]

*shakes head*
This is what Pauline Hanson was trying to stop in the first place, but nope, none of us softy Aussies could see it. Oh well, too late now.

Ok, call me racist if you will, i don't care, but what Pauline Hanson said(albeit some of it was pathetic) her general idea on multiculturalism was what a lot of Australians didn't have the balls to say. Australia is heading down a very dangerous path, i remember reading a Sydney Detectives report on the future of crime etc, it touched base on ethnics in the community and he was shunned for it 10 years ago, now what he said is coming to light which is very sad.

I could say more but no doubt some people around here will call me a racist, hating how a country is heading is far from being racist.

Just remember, you are only racist if you are white

[Troy711]

agreed, you cant be racist against white people

[Sabbath']

So is there going to be an ANP anytime soon?

hmmm interesting article, he actually went against the orders of the Lebanese Muslim committee and spoke to the media. Even when they said that he may be ousted as a leader.
Australia already has one religious political party (Family firsts are crazy born agains!!) why not add another one, the idea behind it is good as long as this nutter ain't running it. But you have to be an Australian citizen to be in politics anyway.

[Spaced]

It's likely that they could get to parliment in NSW especially in Western Sydney. The problem you face with this guy is if you force him to be quiet he will go underground and that's a lot worse cause it will give fuel to the extremists. The more media coverage he gets the worse the problem becomes. If he doesn't like living in Australia kick him out. He's doing nothing good for race relations in Australia. He's a friggin tool and the govt should have revoked his citizenship when they had the chance.

BTW just cause your not caucasian doesn't mean you cannot be racist.

Problem is he is a citizen! The muslim community has said they will pull him up and they haven't someone needs to do something about this guy cause he is causing a lot of greif for a lot of people.

You know what Australia needs? A Just Commodores party to be in power.....

[Spaced]

lmao bogan's for PM

nah stuff it "Boony for PM" who's with me?

[50LTRv8]

Hey Guys

"BTW just cause your not caucasian doesn't mean you cannot be racist."

The fact is that it is an unrealistic goal for the whole planet to get along. Instead of people just saying "Can't we all get along", some are saying how much power can I get, how much money can I earn and I can I achieve my agenda while quashing others.

This guy does nothing for Australia but here is where it sucks. Australia is a democracy and the right to free speech is valid. However this is the hardest way to achieve anything too because of people like this.

If we lived in a Dictatorship and the person was a hard but fair leader this moron would have been ousted ages ago, however as history tells us this has it's own dangers


Comes down to this

DAMD IF YOU DO DAMD IF YOU DON"T

This is a very big country and people go missing all the time
