The head of the Federal Government's Muslim Advisory Group says Hezbollah is not a terrorist organisation and should be removed from a list of banned organisations.
Dr Ameer Ali has also accused the Australian Government of having no independent policy on the Middle East, saying it follows the United States and Israel.
He says Hezbollah should not be considered in the same league as Al Qaeda.
Dr Ali says he is going to write to Mr Howard asking for the group to be removed from a list of banned terrorist organisations.
"Hezbollah is not a terrorist organisation, it's not a organisation like Al Qaeda which is bent on creating wanton violence all over the world," he said.
"They are not doing that, it's a part of Lebanese politics, it's part of south Lebanon."
But the Prime Minister has strongly rejected Dr Ali's call.
"Rethink our proscription of it as a terrorist organisation? No chance, full stop. No chance at all," Mr Howard said.
Bloody towelheads!!!!
Drop academic from respected list: BigMacGOP
are they still coming out of West Sydney enclaves to the beaches to harrass nice Aussie gals? How do you folks put up with that?
Put that Ali on the list of terrorists/sympathizers.
"Hezbollah is not a terrorist organisation..."
'Coulda fooled me!!!
Yes, and a great way to accomplish this would be to remove them from this earth.
Just a personal suggestion.
No problem:
League 1: Shia Terrorist Scum
League 2: Sunni Terrorist Scum
Stopped reading right there...
This Shiitehead is not to be given any credibility or slack.
I'm fast approaching the belief that ALL Muslims are inherently untrustworthy and potential terrorists -- ESPECIALLY if they are PIOUS Islamists..
F'em Semper Fi
Okay. When they're all DEAD.
not a terror group??
oh please
And let's drop Islam as a religion.
The guy may have a point. When Isreal gets done with Hezbollah, they won't exist as a anything more than a footnote in history anyway.
...um....
To me a terrorist is someone who hides amongst civilians with the intention of causing harm. Hezbollah *does* fit into the definition.
I like how the apologists are now out in force. Are they going to tell me the KKK isn't a terrorist group either just because it's active in politics and has been historically?
Just to give you a hint.. anything intellgent you say that ends in "towelheads" makes you sound ignorant.
It's sort of like talking about inter city crime and mentioning black people but instead of black people you say it's because of those damn "n's".
Save the childish name calling.
Shoot the bast**d as an enemy agent!
If some bastard wants to cut my head off, and those my wife and children, I reckon he's getting off very lightly being called a "towelhead"!
Is there a difference between a terrorist organization and a kidnapping organization with missles?
OMG. Nazis don't scare me half as much as these monsters.
