  • ISLAMIC-MONUMENTS.Pdf
    1 The Masjid-i Jami of Herat, the city's first congregational mosque, was built on the site of two smaller Zoroastrian fire temples that were destroyed by earthquake and fire. A mosque construction was started by the Ghurid ruler Ghiyas ad-Din Ghori in 1200 (597 AH), and, after his death, the building was continued by his brother and successor Muhammad of Ghor. In 1221, Genghis Khan conquered the province, and along with much of Herat, the small building fell into ruin. It wasn't until after 1245, under Shams al-Din Kart that any rebuilding programs were undertaken, and construction on the mosque was not started until 1306. However, a devastating earthquake in 1364 left the building almost completely destroyed, although some attempt was made to rebuild it. After 1397, the Timurid rulers redirected Herat's growth towards the northern part of the city. This suburbanization and the building of a new congregational mosque in Gawhar Shad's Musalla marked the end of the Masjid Jami's patronage by a monarchy. 2 This mosque was constructed in 1888 and was the first mosque in any Australian capital city. It has four minarets which were built in 1903 for 150 pounds by local cameleers with some help from Islamic sponsors from Melbourne. Its founding members lie in the quiet part of the South West corner of the city. 3 The Cyprus Turkish Islamic Community of Victoria was established in Richmond, Clifton Hill, and was then relocated to Ballarat Road, Sunshine in 1985 The Sunshine Mosque is the biggest Mosque in Victoria, and has extended its services to cater for ladies, elderly and youth groups.

  • BUSINESS-PAPER-August-2019.Pdf
    Bland Shire Council Business Paper Ordinary Council Meeting 20 August 2019 i ETHICAL DECISION MAKING AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST A guiding checklist for Councillors, Officers and Advisory Committees Ethical Decision Making Is the decision or conduct legal? Is it consistent with Government policy, Council’s objectives and Code of Conduct? What will the outcome be for you, your colleagues, the Council, anyone else? Does it raise a conflict of interest? Could your possible conflict of interest lead to private gain or loss at public expense? Can the decision be justified in terms of public interest? Would it withstand public scrutiny? Conflict of Interest A conflict of interest is a clash between private interest and public duty. There are two types of conflict: Pecuniary – regulated by the Local Government Act and Office of Local Government and, Non- pecuniary – regulated by Codes of Conduct and policy. ICAC, Ombudsman, Office of Local Government (advice only). The test for conflict of interest Is it likely I could be influenced by personal interest in carrying out my public duty? Would a fair and reasonable person believe I could be so influenced? Conflict of interest is closely tied to the layperson’s definition of “corruption” – using public office for private gain. Important to consider public perceptions of whether you have a conflict of interest Identifying Problems 1st - Do I have private interest affected by a matter I am officially involved in? 2nd - Is my official role one of influence or perceived influence over the matter? 3rd - Do my private interests conflict with my official role? Whilst seeking advice is generally useful, the ultimate decision rests with the person concerned.

  • The Phenomenology of Community Activism: Muslim Civil Society Organisations in Australia
    The Phenomenology of Community Activism: Muslim Civil Society Organisations in Australia Author Amath, Nora Published 2014 Thesis Type Thesis (PhD Doctorate) School School of Humanities DOI https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/1953 Copyright Statement The author owns the copyright in this thesis, unless stated otherwise.

This thesis examines the emerging phenomenon of Muslim civil society organisations (MCSOs). In contrast to much publicised jihadist and radical groups, MCSOs are far more representative of Muslim communities and integral to the long-term position of Islam in Australia. Using descriptive phenomenology, this study presents the experiences of Australian Muslim civil society actors and the organisations they represent. Through 30 unstructured, in-depth interviews with 15 Australian MCSOs actors, their stories are told for the first time based on their lived experience and in their own words. In particular, this thesis explores how MCSOs have responded to the challenges of the Australian socio-political context, the perceived impact of these experiences, and how Islam is manifested within the contexts of these experiences. The key themes which emerged from these interviews include: community building, social inclusion, the impact of 9/11 and the negotiation of identity.
