THE chairman of the government's Islamic advisory committee has warned of more Cronulla-style riots unless the Prime Minister tones down his comments on Muslim migrants.
Prime Minister John Howard sparked a backlash in some sections of Australia's Muslim community by saying Muslim migrants needed to conform to Australian values by learning English and treating women with respect. But the head of the government's new Muslim advisory committee, Dr Ameer Ali, warned of trouble unless the Mr Howard backed down.
"We have already witnessed one incident in Sydney recently in Cronulla, I don't want these scenes to be repeated because when you antagonise the younger generation, younger group, they are bound to react," Dr Ali told Macquarie Radio.
But Mr Howard today stood by his comments.
"I don't apologise," he told reporters.
"I think they are missing the point and the point is that I don't care and the Australian people don't care where people come from.
"There's a small section of the Islamic population which is unwilling to integrate and I have said generally all migrants ... they have to integrate."
The comments prompted a fierce reaction from young female Islamic leader Iktimal Hage-Ali, a member of the Prime Minister's advisory group. She accused Mr Howard of threatening to further marginalise Muslims. "There's no value in pointing out the minority of the Muslim group," she said.
"There's a whole lot of other ethnic communities whose parents, whose grandparents don't speak the English language, and it's never a problem in the mainstream Australian community for them to go on living their everyday life without speaking language.
"Yet as soon as it's a person of a Arab descent or a Muslim person ... politicians feel like they need to bring it to mainstream attention as the only group, like marginalising us even more then we already feel marginalised today."
The trajedy is that the police will side with the hajis, as they did last time, to prevent decent Australians from ever teaching the islamic dogs a lesson. Same thing will happen in America if and when the populace ever erupts in rage at terror attacks on American soil. The police will protect hajis and criminalize victims. The world's upside down.
In order to make our muslim brothers and sisters feel more included....I propose a new award geared specifically to their particular cultural talents.
We'll call it the waaaaaaahmbulance award, for the biggest bunch of crybabies on god's green earth.
I just hope to Hell y'all still have a few goodies buried in the outback, the day may come when boomerangs won't cut it!
Sounds like he's trying to incite the "younger generation" into doing what muslims do best.

Muslim Advisory Group wants Hezbollah taken off terrorist list PRINT FRIENDLY EMAIL STORY
The World Today - Wednesday, 2 August , 2006 12:38:00
Reporter: Gillian Bradford
ELEANOR HALL: The head of the Federal Government's Muslim Advisory Group has accused the Government of following the United States and favouring Israel, in its handling of the Middle East crisis.
Dr Ameer Ali says he is about to write to the Prime Minister to ask him to take Hezbollah off a list of banned terrorist organisations.
Dr Ali says Hezbollah is a legitimate group involved in Lebanese politics and shouldn't be considered in the same league as al-Qaeda.
Dr Ali has been speaking in Canberra to Gillian Bradford
AMEER ALI: Hezbollah is not a terrorist organisation. It's not an organisation like al-Qaeda, which is built on creating wanton violence all over the world.
They are not doing that. It is a part of the Lebanese politics, it's part of south Lebanon, it's a creation of the 1980s massacre in Lebanon by the Israeli Army, and they are in the political game of Lebanon, and therefore they are not a terrorist group.
GILLIAN BRADFORD: You were handpicked by the Prime Minister to head this advisory group. Doesn't this send the message that you condone Hezbollah's actions?
AMEER ALI: Yes, in fact they were, of course... we are of the opinion that the Australian Government does not have an independent foreign policy in regard to the Middle East.
We go along with whatever the Americans say, and the Americans go along with whatever the Israeli lobby says.
So I think we have to look at it objectively, because the personal strategy of trying to destroy Hezbollah and destroy south Lebanon is courting disaster.
It might escalate the violence, and the entire Middle East will be up in flames if we go on with this strategy, so that's why we want to advise the Government, that's not the strategy to follow.
We should now look at it objectively and make the Israelis and the Lebanese come to an immediate ceasefire and start talking. And that's the way to go about it, and not this military solution that they are hoping to achieve.
GILLIAN BRADFORD: Is it a widespread view among Australia's Muslims, that Hezbollah is a legitimate organisation, that they're not terrorists?
AMEER ALI: Yes, it is wide... very, very widespread, not only in Australia. If you take a poll in the entire Muslim world, they will tell you this is not a terrorist group, this is part of the Lebanese politics, and this is the Israeli propaganda that makes the world believe that they are terrorists.
GILLIAN BRADFORD: In it's nearly 25-year existence though, Hezbollah has been responsible for dozens of attacks that have killed hundreds - kidnappings of westerners, suicide truck bombings.
What do you say about those episodes of violence?
AMEER ALI: Most in retaliation to what the Israelis are doing daily. In fact there are thousands of Lebanese who have been arrested, kidnapped in Israeli jails.
Why are we not talking about that? And this... in fact, when these two soldiers were kidnapped, Hezbollah put out a message to exchange for troops, and they want to talk.
And they didn't commit any violence, it was the Israeli Army that took the opportunity to invade the country and start destroying every infrastructure, children, women.
Are they targeting Hezbollah or the entire south Lebanon?
GILLIAN BRADFORD: The other members of the Muslim Advisory Group stand with you on this?
AMEER ALI: I'm sure they will stand with me on this.
GILLIAN BRADFORD: And how are you planning to deliver this advice to the Government? Are you taking it to the Prime Minister?
AMEER ALI: We will write to the Prime Minister, in fact we are trying to send the message to the Prime Minister from the group for first of all, congratulate the Government for what they have done so far, for rescuing the Australians from the Lebanese chaos.
At the same time, we are also advising the Government that we have to change the strategy, we must make these two groups to sit together and talk, and we must try to work out an immediate ceasefire, and try to find a political settlement, not to (inaudible) the solution.
ELEANOR HALL: And that's the head of the Government's Muslim Advisory Group Dr Ameer Ali speaking to Gillian Bradford.
And a short time ago the Prime Minister said there was no way that Hezbollah would be taken off the list of terrorist organisations.
I'll post this to get it on record - in case they start again! They are all Hezb'allah supporters!
Lebanese Muslim thugs spark riots and the media blame “racist” Australians

Monday 19 December 2005
Leftwing journalists are writing sob stories about how badly Australians are allegedly treating Muslims. Yet Lebanese Muslim goons have been terrorizing locals for years without a peep from these leftwing bigots who call themselves journalists.
‘Report’ after ‘report’ on the Cronulla riots stressed Australian racists as being the problem. When it came to fingering Lebanese Muslim thugs the same journalists omitted the thuggery and described this scum as “being of Middle Eastern appearance. This lie was a shabby attempt to reinforce their despicable view that Australians are basically racist.
These are just a few articles and phoney reports that blame white Australians for the rioting.

Let us take a quick look at what this despicable bunch of ideologically motivated hacks deliberately ignored. Three lifesavers objected to Lebanese Muslims bullying a group of women because of their bathing costumes These Muslim thugs attacked the greatly outnumbered lifesavers and badly beat them, rendering one of them unconscious.
It was this vicious incident of Lebanese Muslim thuggery that sparked the riots that these mendacious journalists are blaming real Australians for. For more than ten years these misogynistic thugs have been getting bolder in their demands and their violence in the face of the ALP Government’s contemptible cowardice and its refusal to order the police to enforce the rule of law against these self-appointed religious police.
If the riots were racially inspired, as our journalists claim, how come only Lebanese Muslim thugs were targeted? Why were there no Indians, Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Ceylonese, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jews, etc., involved? Also ignored by our media guardians is the interesting fact that the Lebanese have been immigrating to Australia for more than 100 years without any kind of reaction from native Australians. Additionally, how do they explain Lebanese Catholic churches being targeted by Muslims?
So what happened? Nearly all of the former immigrants were Maronites while the Lebanese scum that started the riots are Muslims who came here in the 1970s. So what is that telling us? New South Wales Police Commissioner Ken Moroney inadvertently let the cat out of the bag when he admitted on Channel 7 that he
…sensed within some elements of this (Middle Eastern) community a hate. It’s a hate that I don’t understand, I don't understand it as a man.
“Middle Eastern” is the multiculturalist’s code phrase for Muslim. So what we have here is Muslim hatred of Australia. Nevertheless, despite massive evidence to the contrary our leftwing media still insists on lying to the public. It’s true that some racists attached themselves to the mob. But to use their opportunism to smear fellow Australians as “neo-Nazis” is, unfortunately, par for the course for our agitprop journos.
The truth, something these leftwing hacks cannot tolerate, is that the Labor Government encouraged the situation to fester until uncontrolled vigilantism broke out. Intolerable as mob rule is, let us not lose sight of who is really responsible for it. As Tim Priest, a former Sydney police detective, put it:
It’s been a long time coming ... and it can’t stop now…. Of course, the usual claque of agenda-driven ethnic community leaders were quick to condemn the Cronulla incidents as un-Australian and racist. Never mind the multitude of racist attacks on young Australian men and women during the past decade, which have now manifested into full-blown racial retaliation. (Blame race riots on police force neglect, The Australian, 13 December).
Nearly two years ago Mr Priest also argued in The Australian
…that the increasing frequency of racially motivated attacks on young Australian men and women –– including murders, gang rapes and serious assaults by young men of Lebanese Muslim descent –– would rise dramatically throughout Australia. These problems remain widespread and have been documented in the ensuing two years. Yet the NSW Labor Government and police have failed to address the issues in any way…
So while Lebanese Muslim thuggery intensified and the incidence of their violent crimes rose, the ALP Government settled for abject surrender. The Party of the little people, of the working class, of the fair go and the toilers sacrificed the welfare of these people to the God of multiculturalism and political expediency. No wonder Howard keeps winning elections*.
So how is Premier Morris Iemma dealing with the situation? He is telling law abiding Australians to stay away from their own beaches. But what can we expect from a pusillanimous creep who smeared his fellow Australians by falsely stating that the riots were “the ugly face of racism ... and also the attitudes and the physical assaults that took place the weekend before”.
Why did he refuse to use the ‘M’ word? Because this snivelling coward’s Lakemba electorate is dominated by –– you guessed it –– Lebanese Muslim thugs. It is therefore no accident that though the Lakemba mosque is notorious for its hate speech and the presence of the pro-terrorist Islamic Youth Movement the state has never interfered with its anti-Australian activities, even though its actions amount to sedition.
It is time to recognise the extremist religious canker in our midst and cut it out –– even if it means revoking these thugs’ citizenship and deporting them to Lebanon where, I have no doubt, they would be welcomed with open arms by Islamo-fascist terrorist groups.
Note: Miranda Devine, Janet Albrechtsen, Andrew Bolt and Paul Sheehan are among the few in the media who have had the courage to write the truth about the hatred, thuggery and racism coming from Lebanese Muslims.
*It also looks like the French public is swinging to the right in a reaction to Muslim riots. This ought to be a warning to the ALP.

Well, Miss Hage-Ali, it's very simple. Tell the majority of your Muslim group to get the minority of you Muslim group in line. Problem solved.
"There's a whole lot of other ethnic communities whose parents, whose grandparents don't speak the English language, and it's never a problem in the mainstream Australian community for them to go on living their everyday life without speaking language."
Perhaps you should follow the example of other ethnic communities that are NOT OUT TO KILL PEOPLE IN THEIR HOST COUNTRY.
"Yet as soon as it's a person of a Arab descent or a Muslim person ... politicians feel like they need to bring it to mainstream attention as the only group, like marginalising us even more then we already feel marginalised today."
Muslims have created the way people think about them. Of course it's someone else's fault.
Hey Ameer, Hitler's party was considered political also with the same M.O. -Kill the Joooos-. We killed him and his party and the same will happen to the hesbos unless they renounce violence now.
Gee....... We blow up a few people and all of a sudden you make us "feel marginalized"!
"At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia; Islamic Law"
IMHO, this will happen sooner than later here..we have precedence for tribal law on the Indian Res here in the USA.
"we have precedence for tribal law on the Indian Res here in the USA."
Tribes like the Dine are Nations unto themselves. Muslims in America had better never think to create their own nation within this country.
I don't comprehend the significance of the blinking eyes- but I am not afraid.
