Muslim party seeks Islamic law for Australians
The Australian ^ | September 06, 2005 | Patricia Karvelas

The leader of the nation's first Muslim political party says all Australians should be living under Islamic law dictated by the Koran.

The Best Party of Allah in Australia applied for registration in the ACT yesterday, claiming to provide a political voice for Muslims.

Founder Kurt Kennedy, a Vietnamese-born Muslim convert and candidate in the ACT assembly elections last year, said the party wanted to "implement the laws as stated in the Koran".

"The positive part of sharia law is (about) treating everybody fairly," he said. "I don't think anybody should have any worries about it.

"If they read through the Koran, there's nothing there that will threaten them or threaten their personal life or property."

The new party had almost 200 members but needed 500 to register federally, which was the goal, he said.

"The thing is to have a profile and to defend those who believe in Allah."

People were "living in the dark" and experiencing an unnecessary level of fear of Islam.

The emergence of the Family First Party had showed him that there was a role for religious-based parties. "It's obvious what they do," he said.

"We don't want to hide behind things. We want to go out and say we are believers of Allah, we believe in his religion, we obey his laws as stated in the Koran -- there's nothing to worry about."

Australians who were not Muslims were welcome to join the party, Mr Kennedy said.

"Whether they become Muslims or not become Muslims, because they will see a sensible view not corrupted by lobby groups, a view not corrupted by hypocrisy -- like sending food-aid to Iraq but, at the same time, sending our soldiers there and bombing and killing their children as well."

Mr Kennedy could not guarantee extremists would not join his party but said he thought it unlikely that people with extremist views would want to participate in the peaceful, democratic political system.

"We have a constitution and a process where people fill in an application form and the secretary can decide whether to enlist them or reject them, like any other political party," he said.

The party would promote "moderate politics" and would be neither right-wing nor left-wing.

That oil was there before there were any muslim cultists.

There were Jews and Christians there too.

Do not go into the Forbidden Zone and learn these things. It is forbidden.

Boot their Islamic butts out of Australia before they destroy you. It should be obvious to even the most doctrinaire open borders advocate by now that a nation can survive with its culture and values intact only by being very selective in its choice of immigrants. Islamists are not among the select group that one can allow in and hope to retain a democratic character.

Islam is NOT a religion, it is a CULTURE and diatmetrically opposed to Western values, as this goathumper illustrates. Allow it into the West at our PERIL.

As always, the cunning demons are ready with the appropriate language. Don't worry, be happy. Until it's too late, then you're either dead or banging your head at Mecca 5 times a day.

Well...Australia is a representative republic and if the towel heads want to try to get a majority in the Parliament and get their way they are certainly welcome do that.

I have to go...the birdcage needs a new lining and I can't find the Koran I do it with.

Oh, that's what I'd misunderstood - I thought they were saying "religion of peace", but, well, "religion of piss", now that makes more sense.

from the BEST PARTY discussion paper on the Web....


http://freedom.homemail.com.au/dicussionpaper.doc (snip)

1. Who are the Believers
When the author sees Muslims at any gathering, he is very sad for them. They accept calling themselves "Muslims" and appear no different to any other Australians who work to pay off a mortgage, eat curry dishes and smell like onions and garlic. I understand the Prophet (peace be upon him) would never eat curry dishes, onions or garlic, so why would anyone following the example of the Prophet (peace be upon him) eat these sorts of things? They may have a beard, wear a hijab/head-cover, turn up for Friday prayers at the mosque and Allah knows who among them pray five times a day on time, fast during Ramadan, do not accept interest (also called "dividends" for a money deposit at so called Islamic banks), eat permitted food, avoid alcohol, avoid gambling, avoid eating pigs, avoid acts of hypocrisy.
