The article draws on thematic analysis of content from counter-jihad websites and interviews with movement activists, sympathizers and opponents, in order to characterize the counter-jihad’s organizational infrastructure and political discourse and to theorize its relationship to fascism and other far-right tendencies. Although the political discourses of the counter-jihad, Trumpian Republicanism and the avowedly racist “Alt-Right” are not identical, I argue that all three tendencies share a common, counterrevolutionary temporal structure.

  • Halal Certification Services Pty
    Halal Certification Authority Australia (A.B.N. 33 068 275 203) GPO Box 3906, Sydney, NSW 2001 Tel +61 2 9232 6731 – Fax + 61 2 9223 8596 Email: [email protected] Senate Submission Preamble Muslims have always been eating Halal since they arrived in Australia, the same as the Jews have. From the first Cameleer till recently Muslims killed their own meat. About 50 years ago Muslim butchers started appearing in Areas where Muslims reside to cater to their needs for Halal meat. Muslim migrants to this day buy fresh food and cook their own in preference to buying ready-made consumables. Each migrant prefer his own type of cuisine. However the second and third generation are requiring the same type of fast food as the rest of the population but in a Halal form When Muslim countries started buying meat from Australia in the early 60s they requested the animals to be slaughtered by Muslims and to be certified by the local Islamic organisation. Foreign Governments sent representatives to ensure this was done according to Islamic rites and to their specifications. In the 80s the Federal Government became involved in Halal certification. In fact each consignment of exported meat carries a Government Halal certificate endorsed by an Islamic organisation for authenticity. In the 90s with some Muslim countries achieving affluence they started asking for products other than meat to be exported to their countries to satisfy the local demands. Some requested Halal certificates for products other than meat, like Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

  • Society of Australia
    Societyof AustraliaInc -UpholdingAustralianValues- Committee Secretary, Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee, P O Box 6100, Parliament House, Canberra ACT 2600 By email [email protected] Human Rights And Anti-Discrimination Bill 2012 21 December 2012 Dear Sir or Madam; Thank you for considering our submission pertaining to the proposed changes to Australian Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination laws. From Libya to Burma people fight and die for human rights, freedom and liberal democracy. The provisions of this bill would result in the very opposite for Australians and constitute an open violation of Article 19 of the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Never before in times of peace has an Australian government sought to impose such restrictive laws onto our Nation. Q Society of Australia opposes this legislation for the following reasons: a) Basic Freedoms and Human Rights are lost b) Onus of proof is reversed and natural justice impeded c) Introduction of new protected attributes create “special” Australians Discrimination is defined in the bill as “any conduct that offends, insults or intimidates” another person. In essence adverse or controversial political, cultural or religious expressions are seen as grounds for discrimination. This is the antithesis of liberal democracy. In Section 124 the proposed bill requires a complainant to make out a prima facie case with the onus on the defendant to prove there was not “unlawful discrimination.” This is a reversal of a fundamental principle in our legal system. Protected attributes are expanded to include “gender identity” and “sexual orientation”. Special rights and protections are not extended to other behaviour based sub-sections of society and have no place in our communities.

  • Deakin Law Review Style Guide
    TAXATION TREATMENT OF ISLAMIC FINANCE PRODUCTS IN AUSTRALIA * MARIA BHATTI In October 2010, the Board of Taxation released a Discussion Paper titled Review of the Taxation Treatment of Islamic Finance. Since the release of this Discussion Paper, there has been no legislative reform in Australia to accommodate Islamic finance products. In the Discussion Paper, the Board reviews the taxation treatment of Islamic finance products, such as murābaḥa. Murābaḥa is known as ‘cost plus profit financing’ and involves the sale of a commodity by a financial intermediary to a purchaser at a cost plus mark-up profit rate. The Board argues that in order for a murābaḥa product to be treated equally to a conventional product for Australian taxation purposes, the profit mark-up component common to murābaḥa transactions must be treated as if it were interest. However, the Board does not consider the implications for Muslims if the murābaḥa profit mark-up is treated as interest. The objective of this article is to investigate the following two questions: can murābaḥa be viewed as Sharīʿa-compliant by Muslims if mark-up is treated as if it were interest; and, if murābaḥa is viewed by Muslims as no longer Sharīʿa-compliant, could this cause Australia to become less attractive for Muslim investors? This article will undertake a comparative analysis by examining the implications of treating murābaḥa mark-up as if it were interest from various Australian and UK perspectives. This article argues that before legislative amendments are introduced to cater for Islamic finance products, further research is needed on the Sharīʿa- compliant nature of Islamic finance products such as murābaḥa.

Long-held prejudice and misperceptions have been changed in the past in sport through positive programs, the removal of obstacles and the challenging of prejudices and biases. Now is the time to really focus on doing the same for LGBTI people in sport. It is expected now. The Pride in Sport Index was established in 2017 to measure and benchmark the inclusion actions sporting organisations were undertaking in making their sport safer and more inclusive of LGBTI people.

  • 1 Cultural & Social Affairs Department Oic
    Cultural & social affairs Department OIC islamophobia Observatory Monthly Bulletin – February 2013 I. Manifestations of Islamophobia: 1. UK: Conservative councillor suspended for alleged racism against Muslims – A Conservative councillor had been suspended and is under investigation after allegedly making anti-Muslim comments and sectarian remarks on a social media website. Chris Joannides’s Facebook page contained material comparing Muslim women who wore the burqa to rubbish bags. Another post included sexual remarks in a discussion about a flasher, and a comment that his work as a councillor was getting in the way of his social life. Joannides had been a councillor in Enfield, north London. News of the incident comes as David Cameron considered measures to try to increase the low levels of support the party received from ethnic minority voters. The Conservatives were trying to shed their “nasty party” image and appear more inclusive. His fellow Conservative councillors decided to suspend Joannides over the comments. Over a picture of a woman and child dressed in burqas, with a black binbag either side of them, Joannides appeared to have written: “I saw her standing there and I told her she had three beautiful children. She didn’t have to get all pissed off and threaten me … an honest mistake.” The Facebook page now appears to have been removed. Azad Ali, chair of the Muslim Safety Forum, said: “This is a shocking example of institutionalised and normalised Islamophobia…We expect the Conservative party to take a robust stand against this behaviour and prove that their drive to engage with black and minority ethnic communities isn’t tokenistic…Further, we will follow up with the Metropolitan police service and see that the full weight of the law is applied.” In: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2013/feb/01/conservative-councillor-chris-joannides-facebook, retrieved on 02.02.2013 2.
