Whose side are the Albanese government on? In case you had any doubt, consider the following: a Jewish social media personality is banned from Australia because he might upset Muslims with the truth. At the same time, the same government is not just allowing, but actively flying into the country, one of the most prominent terror families in Gaza. And they’ll be allowed to stay for good.
Palestinian refugees will be able to call Australia home rather than being forced to return in a major Albanese government move.
These ‘refugees’ will include a family where terrorism is as normal as family dinner.
It is true that Fayez Elhasani is not a member of any terrorist group and came to Australia after 10 members of his family – including his wife and several young grandchildren – were killed in an Israeli air strike on Gaza following the October 7 Hamas terror attack.
However, as we now know, his family was targeted by Israel because three of his brothers and two sons participated in terrorist organisations.
Specifically, his brother, Iyad, was the head of operations division of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, while another brother was a “commander” of the “operations unit of the Al-Quds Brigades” – the armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad which joined Hamas terrorists on October 7.
A third brother, Sami Al-Abd al-Hassani was a senior commander in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, which is listed as a terror group by the US, EU and other Australian allies.
Two of Mr Elhasani’s sons were also involved in Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Mohammed Fayez Al-Hassani was an operational unit commander and Remah Fayez Al-Hassani was an operative in the organisation.
I’m sure nothing could possibly go wrong from this decision.
Elsewhere in Today In Moderate Islam:
Hate preacher Wissam Haddad has ramped up threats on the eve of his legal battle against Australia’s peak Jewish body, warning in a video “we are not going to come unarmed, we’re going to fight them with everything that we have,” followed by the image of a sword.
The video has been condemned by Jewish community members who believe it is an incitement to young radicals to commit violence, with Mr Haddad set to appear in the Federal Court on Tuesday to defend claims that he breached vilification laws over his sermons asserting Jews are “vile” and “treacherous” people […]
Mr Haddad or speakers at his Bankstown-based Al Madina Dawah Centre have called Jewish people “descendants of pigs and monkeys”, recited parables about their killing, and said people should “spit” on Israel so its citizens “would drown”.
In most cases, Mr Haddad has claimed that he was referring to or reciting Islamic scripture.
Which is indeed true.
For instance, Koran 5:60: those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs. ‘Those whom Allah has cursed’ is a line from the very first verse of the Koran, one recited every day by practicing Muslims. All Islamic authorities agree that it refers to the Jews. The Sira, or biographies of Muhammad, have him cursing Jews as ‘brothers of monkeys’.
Islamic scripture is replete with exhortations to kill Jews. For instance, Sahih al-Bukhari, regarded as the most important scripture in Sunni Islam after the Koran itself, states that, The Hour [i.e., Judgement Day] will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.’ Sahih Muslim, the third-most important scripture, states, Kill any Jew that falls into your power.
Justice Angus Morkel Stewart has previously said that “upon quick reading” the case against Mr Haddad was “damning”, and pushed back on an argument that certain sermons were protected by section 18D of the Racial Discrimination Act which provides exemptions to 18C for public interest rhetoric, given it runs counter to his own judgment in the successful case of Greens deputy leader Mehreen Faruqi against One Nation’s Pauline Hanson.
So, quoting Islamic scripture is a ‘damning’ example of hate? What does that say about Islamic scripture, then?
