The ‘moderate majority’ are at it again. In the wake of the shocking video of Sydney Muslim nurses bragging about killing Jewish patients, virtually every Muslim community organisation has united and put out a joint statement.
Defending the anti-Semites.
The Muslim Vote has partnered with extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir and mainstream Islamic bodies to uphold two sacked Bankstown nurses who claimed to have killed Israeli patients as victims of “manufactured outrage” in a campaign to silence Palestinian voices.
Tell us again about how the ‘moderate majority’ of Muslims are peaceful.
The unlikely alliance – which included pro-Palestine independent candidates, and hardline Islamic centres and radical preachers – comes after footage of NSW Health nurses Ahmad “Rashad” Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh vowing to “kill” Israeli patients led to their immediate dismissals and sparked an investigation by a state police anti-Semitism taskforce. The communique was put together by “Stand 4 Palestine” – a group established and largely run by Hizb ut-Tahrir operatives.
It should surprise no one that the Muslim community response to yet another anti-Semitic outrage by Muslims is that it’s everyone else’s fault. The real victims here are the poor Muslims who only wanted to kill Jews.
It criticised what it called “co-ordinated outrage” and claimed the response to the two nurses’ comments was “manufactured” to serve a “political narrative”.
“The most revealing aspect of the reaction to the nurses’ video is not the (footage) itself – but the speed, intensity and uniformity of response from certain political leaders and media outlets,” said the statement, endorsed by more than 50 bodies or leaders.
In other words: they’re onto us, habibi. Better put on another show of being offended.
The alignment of Hizb ut-Tahrir and extremist preachers with the anti-ALP Muslim political campaign creates a clear dividing line for Labor in seats such as Watson and Blaxland, where it is courting and hopeful of support from the area’s wider, mainstream Muslim community.
No, it exposes for all who have eyes to see that the ‘wider, mainstream Muslim community’ is extremist and anti-Semitic.
Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia, whose British branch was last year banned, is a signatory to the letter. Germany, Egypt, Turkey, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Pakistan, among others, have also outlawed the group.
Signatories also included mainstream bodies, including the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils and the Islamic councils of Victoria and WA, but also radical groups, such as the Al Madina Dawah Centre and its founder, Wissam Haddad, also known as Abu Ousayd.
Mr Haddad is being sued for vilifying the Jewish community in sermons that allegedly called Jewish people “descendants of pigs and monkeys”, [and] recited Islamic parables about their killing […]
Political groups Muslim Votes Matter and The Muslim Vote are signatories […]
Melbourne-based Al Bayyinah Islamic Centre, closely linked to Mr Haddad, was a signatory, as was Gamel Kheir, the Lebanese Muslim Association secretary. Sheik Ibrahim Dadoun, who said the day after Hamas’s attacks that he was “elated”, is a signatory, as is Rateb Jneid, AFIC’s president.
If anyone doubted there was so much as a sliver of sunlight between outlawed jihadi groups and ‘the mainstream Muslim community’, there should be no doubt now. They’re all literally on the same page.
And it’s not anything new, either. The only thing that’s new is how much they’ve been emboldened by a weak government dependent on the votes of extremists and a political left deranged by extremist hate for Jews.
We didn’t get here, to the events of this week, where two nurses felt emboldened to brag about murdering Israelis in their workplace, because of a casual series of disconnected happenings.
It started on the steps of the Sydney Opera House on October 9, 2023. It started at that very moment it became clear to those who sought to bring foreign conflicts to Australia’s streets that they could without consequence; without so much as a parking fine. That nobody would stop them […]
But this is no behavioural outlier. Broadly, there were numerous off-ramps, at which point nothing was done. Time and time again.
Almost nothing still is. Despite repeated, clearly illegal, incitement against Jewish Australians, despite repeated attacks and firebombings, no more than a handful of arrests have been made – and only for the most grotesque acts and planned terror attacks.
Just how far are Labor and Albanese prepared to let this go, just to try and win an election?
