  • Muslim bigots impose blasphemy laws on Victoria

    At the behest of Muslim bigots and multiculturalist fanatics the Bracks Government suspended free speech in Victoria by imposing a blasphemy law dressed up as an anti-vilification law. This has given Islamo-fascists a freehand to attack critics of Islam. In a ruthless attempt to intimidate critics Muslim fanatics reported two pastors to Diane Sisely, the Equal Opportunity Commission boss, for criticising the Koran. This enemy of free speech and her fellow Stalinoids on the commission then launched proceedings against the pastors for exercising their fundamental and inalienable right to free speech. So far these pastors have had to pony up...

    THE Australian racism seen in Sydney recently arises from the same wellspring as British racism, says feminist and academic Germaine Greer. It came from ignorance and working-class frustration, the social commentator said. Reflecting upon the racial violence that exploded in southern Sydney last weekend, she also criticised British media coverage of the events as "gratuitous and silly". The British media has given the violence between young whites and Lebanese-Australians considerable attention. It said the racially fuelled violence in Cronulla and other Sydney suburbs over the past week was the latest incarnation of the bigotry that includes discrimination against Aborigines at...

    David Flint: The 'shock jocks' are in tune with the silent majority December 15, 2005 AMONG the reactions to last Sunday on Cronulla beach, one was entirely predictable: blame the principal messenger. Lebanese Muslim Association president Ahmad Kamaleddine spoke for many critics when he argued that the riots had "been motivated by people on talkback radio". Talkback has indeed come of age. It is now conceded to be, albeit grudgingly on the part of mainstream media, a significant source of news and opinion. But to declare it to be an accessory to the commission of serious breaches of the law...

    Australian Unrest Spreads to Other Cities Dec 13, 7:36 AM (ET) By MIKE CORDER SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - The racial unrest that broke out in Sydney's beachside suburbs over the weekend has spread to two other large Australian cities, where people of Middle Eastern descent were assaulted by whites, police said Tuesday. In New South Wales, where Sydney is located, lawmakers scheduled an emergency session of the state Parliament to consider legislation cracking down on the rioters who rampaged through the city's suburbs for two straight nights, the region's premier said. Seven people were injured and 11 arrested after youths...

    ASSOCIATED PRESS SYDNEY, Australia -- Thousands of drunken white youths attacked police and people they believed were Arab immigrants at a Sydney beach on Sunday, angered by reports that youths of Lebanese descent had assaulted two lifeguards. Young men of Arab descent retaliated in several Sydney suburbs, fighting with police and smashing 40 cars with sticks and bats, police said. Thirty-one people were injured and 28 were arrested in hours of violence. Police said they were seeking an Arab man who allegedly stabbed a white man in the back. The city was calm Monday, and police formed a strike force...
  • Sydney Australia cell was brewing...Mother of Satan

    NOT for nothing is it known as 'Mother of Satan'. The crystal explosive is highly unstable and sensitive to heat and friction. And it is a favourite of terrorists. It was used in the London bombings in July and it would have caused destruction in Australia too. Australian police believe that what they unearthed yesterday during a raid on a red brick house in Sydney were ingredients for 'Mother of Satan' bombs. Australian newspapers reported that among items seized from the Sydney house included at least two large plastic containers, each holding several litres of a clear liquid. Police suspect...

    A police media spokesman confirmed there had been problems at Maroubra beach, following the near-riot at Cronulla beach earlier today.

Police have set up a command post in the area, 2GB reported. Sky News reported that a group of people in cars and with baseball bats, bits of wood and...

    SYDNEY erupted in a second night of racial violence last night as Middle Eastern mobs stabbed a woman, assaulted others and smashed shops around Cronulla, while up to 600 young men - armed with guns and crowbars - prepared for a battle. In a terrifying escalation of the conflict, up to 70 cars from Hurstville invaded Cronulla and Brighton-le-Sands to launch revenge attacks, following the vicious attacks by Cronulla locals on people of Middle Eastern appearance on Sunday. Twenty carloads of men arrived at Cronulla by about 10.30pm, smashing shops, and cars in Elouera Road, and threatening people who got...

    Nationalists boast of their role on the beach The Patriotic Youth League's Luke Connors predicts more riots. WHITE nationalist groups involved in the Cronulla riots have predicted further racial violence, naming the Melbourne suburbs of Heidelberg, Preston, Reservoir and Springvale as potential "hot spots". The Patriotic Youth League, whose members handed out "Aussies Fighting Back" pamphlets at Cronulla, said it had been inundated with callers wanting to riot in Melbourne. "If it wasn't for the massive police presence there already, and the fact that it's mainly confined to a peninsula, we really could have had a Paris situation on our...

      Excellent comments from Australia right here. Wretcherd's comments are very good, he lives in Australia:Beach riots ---->>>>  wretchard said... The interesting thing to me, listening to the frantic voices over the radio, was how the quickly the veneer of PC dropped. Phrases like "white Australians" and "we Lebanese Christians not those Muslims" and "terrorists" were spoken without so much as a thought. One Lebanese Christian lady said the media has been feeding the public BS by referring to everyone as "Lebanese", saying they had forgotten the critical qualifier. And this was greasy kid stuff. All the guys out there who've been...
