AUSTRALIA'S Sunni Muslims have pushed aside ideological differences with their Shia counterparts to form a united front against Israel and declare their support for the Iranian-backed terrorist network Hezbollah.
The unity among the two Muslim sects, which have been at war with each other for centuries, comes as the nation's Jewish community accuses top Shia spiritual leader Kamal Mousselmani of creating hatred towards Jews by calling Israel a "terrorist" state and expressing his allegiance to Hezbollah militants.
The Howard Government yesterday also accused Sheik Mousselmani of sending the wrong message to his followers through his adverse views on Israel.
Sunni Muslim leader Keysar Trad yesterday said his sect largely championed Sheik Mousselmani's support for Hezbollah...
"Sunnis outside of Lebanon, yes, they still have a great deal of respect for Hezbollah,".
But Mr Trad, who does not believe the Lebanese-based Hezbollah is a terrorist group, said Sunni Muslims in Lebanon were less inclined to back the terrorist organisation because of political differences with the Shi'ites.
"I don't believe that Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation... I agree with (Mousselmani) that the state of Israel has... consistently engaged in acts of terror which have brought a great deal of pain to the poor Palestinian population and the Lebanese population."
The new mufti of Australia, Sunni spiritual leader Fehmi Naji el-Imam, last year called Hezbollah militants "freedom fighters" during an anti-war rally in Melbourne. Sheik Fehmi's spokesman said yesterday the cleric could not be reached...
Hezbollah... is a proscribed terrorist organisation in Australia...
...Sheik Mousselmani attacked the Howard Government's support for Israel against Arabs and said Hezbollah was a resistance group, not a terrorist network...
Attorney-General Philip Ruddock yesterday said Israel was entitled to exist and the federal Government's foreign policy was against any terrorist group that threatened Israel's sovereignty...

Why we ever allowed large numberds of muslims into our countries in the name of multiculturalism, I will never know.
“Why we ever allowed large numberds of muslims into our countries in the name of multiculturalism, I will never know.”
Because we in the Western world are: Stupid, degenerate, and cowardly. We tolerate people openly chanting death to our societies, and openly supporting terrorism. I fear it will take many more 9-11s (perhaps on a nuclear or biological level) to wake us the hell up, if ever.
Here these people are living good lives in Australia and still hating Israel and anyone else who isnt Islamic.
Ship the whole stinking bunch out of your country and ours immediately’ Start with the ones wearing Nurka’s,Hijabs,or anything which readily identifies them as enemies of free countries amd work your way down to the last one sending dollars back to terrorists
My youngest daughter asked me a few weeks ago what was the difference between Sunnis and Shiites. I wound up having to tell her (in summary of a longer explanation) that after over thirty years of studying terrorism, I have learned that Sunni's want us all dead so they can raise the banner of the Calipha over their totalitarian vision of Utopia, while Shiites want us dead - keeping the Caliphate from being reborn - while achieving their totalitarian vision of Utopia.
Again, there really ARE Muslims who can be excluded from either description.
Breaking news: You heard it hear first!
Muslims agree that Israel is a terrorist state! Muslims hate jews more than they hate each other!
Really!
Bush is a terrorist too! Salman Rushdie needs to die! Spain needs to open itself to unlimited muslim immigration! So does Australia! So does everywhere else! Bin Ladin is innocent! He’s a hero! He would be a hero if he weren’t innocent! Actually Bush and the Jews did it and blamed Bin Ladin, but if Bin Ladin did it he would have been a hero, but he’s innocent! But he’s still a hero!
It's the white western liberal self-hating death wish taking over.
Sorry , we don not need these people infecting our societies.
Islam needs to be contained . Thoroughly....
Thanks for your post.
“Again, there really ARE Muslims who can be excluded from either description.”
I fear for the ones helping us in Iraq. I hope we don’t just pull out and leave them in the lurch, like we did in Vietnam.
Aussie Muslims unite against Israel...
just like all other muzzies!!!!!
Sounds like you folks need a new Rule One. Or perhaps you could just go ahead and make a Rule Six, because as everybody knows...
