be used to
tarnish the

“Violent
protest is
forbidden in

Sheikh Feiz
Sheikh Feiz
Mohamed has
given an
exclusive
interview to
MuslimVillage.com
where he has
labelled
those that
used
violence at
the Sydney
protest
rally on the
weekend as
Muslims that
have engaged
in forbidden
acts.
In a wide
ranging
interview he
talked about
his past,
the problem
of angry
youth, the
way forward
for
Australian
Muslims and
how to
engage with
what he
described as
“the not yet
Muslims”, an
expression
he used for
non Muslims.

PRESS
RELEASES
The Council

(CIQ) issued
a press
release last
week with a
request that
it be read out
before the
Friday
prayer at
the local
Mosques. The
aim of the
communication
was "to help
the
community
understand
the present
situation
confronting
them".

...
lawyer
Mariam

says the
idea of
"guilt

is a
common
occurrence
for
"everyday"
Muslims
at a
time
like
this.
It has
been a
tough
week for
Sydney's
Muslim
community.
Following
violent
protests
in the
city
last
Saturday,
Muslim
leaders
have
battled
to
repair
the
damage
done to
the
community's
reputation
and
image,
which
they
describe
as
harder
than in
the
aftermath
of the
Cronulla
riots in
2005.
Hundreds
of
threats
and
messages
of hate
have
been
directed
at
people
and
organisations,
the
president
of the

Dandan,
revealed
this
week.
But
through
the
tension
and
strain,
small
stories
of
generosity

kindness
have
emerged
as
Muslims
try to
right
the
wrongs
of the
past six
days.

The
Incredible
Muslim Hulk
proves to be

by

(The
Sydney
Morning
Herald)
WHERE do I start? Perhaps with the viral image that will come to define this episode: a child who'd be three or four hoisting a sign triumphantly above his head blaring ''Behead all those who insult the Prophet'' while a woman, presumably his mother, thinks this is cute enough to capture on her smartphone. Alternatively, I could begin with the observation that the trailer for the anti-Islamic film that ostensibly started this all, Innocence of Muslims, is now a blockbuster, with YouTube hits in the millions thanks largely to the protesters around the world who think nobody should see it.
This is the behaviour of a drunkenly humiliated people: swinging wildly with the hope of landing a blow, any blow, somewhere, anywhere.
No. Let's start with the fact that so few of the protesters who descended on Sydney's CBD this weekend seem actually to have seen the film that so gravely offends them. When asked by journalists, they bluntly admit this, one even adding that she refuses to watch something so offensive. It's almost impressive how cyclical this stupidity is. But it's also instructive. In fact, this is the key to making sense of something so gobsmackingly senseless. The protesters - at least the ones quoted in news reports - know nothing except how offended they are.
That, you see, is all that matters. This isn't about a film. It's about an excuse. We know because we've seen it all before, like when Pakistani protesters vandalised American fast food outlets and burnt effigies of President George W. Bush in response to the Danish cartoons.
We know because so much of the weekend's ranting was nakedly gratuitous: ''Our dead are in paradise, your dead are in hell''. Pardon? Which dead? Weren't we talking about a movie?
This is the behaviour of a drunkenly humiliated people: swinging wildly with the hope of landing a blow, any blow, somewhere, anywhere. There's nothing strategic or calculated about this. It doesn't matter that they are the film's most effective publicists. It doesn't matter that they protest using offensive slogans and signs, while protesting against people's right to offend. It doesn't matter that they object to insulting people on the basis of their religion, while declaring that Christians have no morals. This is baffling only until you realise these protesters are not truly protesting to make a point. The protest is the point.
It feels good. It feels powerful. This is why people yell pointlessly or punch walls when frustrated. It's not instrumental. It doesn't achieve anything directly. But it is catharsis. Outrage and aggression is an intoxicating prospect for the powerless.
Accordingly, it is not an option to leave an insult unanswered because that is a sign of weakness, rather than transcendence.
The irony is that it grants an extraordinary level of power to those doing the offending. It puts them constantly at the centre of your world. That's why, when Gallup polled 35 Muslim majority countries, it found that of all the gripes the Muslim world has against the West, among the most pervasive is the West's ''disrespect for Islam''.
And it is this disrespect that is the overarching grievance that subsumes others. Everything, global and local, can be thrown into this vortex: Swiss minaret bans, French niqab bans, military invasions, drone strikes, racist stereotyping, anti-immigrant politics, and yes, even films so ridiculously bad that, left to their own devices, they would simply lampoon themselves.
This is what gives Innocence of Muslims meaning: not its content, but its context. It's a symbol of contempt, which is why protests against it so quickly turn into an orgy of anti-Americanism. So, ''Obama, Obama, we love Osama'' they scream, mainly because it's the most offensive rhyme they can muster. Osama, too, is a symbol; the most repugnant one in their arsenal. How better to prove you exist than to say something outrageous?
That the Obama administration immediately condemned the film in the strongest terms doesn't register. Nor that the White House took the extraordinary (and ultimately unsuccessful) step of asking Google to pull the video. This is invisible to an audience of humiliated souls waiting desperately to be offended and conflate every grievance. Indeed, they need the offence. It gives them the chance to assert themselves so they can feel whole, righteous even. It's a shortcut to self-worth.
The trouble is that in our digital world, there is always something to oblige. Anyone can Google their prejudices, and there is always enraging news to share with others. Entire online communities gather around the sharing of offensive material and subsequent communal venting. Soon you have a subculture: a sub-community whose very cohesion is based almost exclusively on shared grievance. Then you have an identity that has nothing to say about itself; an identity that holds an entirely impoverished position: that to be defiantly angry is to be.
Frankly, Muslims should find that prospect nothing short of catastrophic. It renders Islamic identity entirely hollow. All pride, all opposition, no substance. ''Like the Incredible Hulk,'' observes Abdal Hakim Murad, a prominent British Islamic scholar, ''ineffectual until provoked.''
Sometimes you need a scandal to demonstrate an underlying disease. And that's the good news here. The vast bulk of Saturday's protesters were peaceful, and Muslim community organisations are lining up to condemn the outbreak of violence. But now a more serious conversation is necessary. One that's not about how we should be speaking out to defend our prophet and ourselves. One that's more about whether we can speak about anything else.

We owe so much to Muslim people. There was a time when Western Culture had fallen into such darkness that the best plan we could produce was an invasion of the Middle East.
It's for good reason this period of history is known as the Dark Ages. We were the terrorists in those days, driven by an ideology that gave us permission to invade and brutally treat peoples who were minding their own business.
Mind you, we didn't call ourselves terrorists in those days, we called our invaders "Crusaders".

Dear Friends,
I write on behalf of myself and other colleagues at St Brigid’s Parish, at the Marrickville Multifaith Roundtable, and at the Sydney Alliance to express our support to you as leaders within your various organisations of the Islamic Community.
Over the past few years we have walked many steps together. We have grown in respect for one another and our various religious traditions. We have been discovering new ways in Australia to support one another on our spiritual journeys. We have stood together at various public functions as a sign of solidarity, especially in times of oppression.
The use of films and other technologies to defame our spiritual leaders past and present is not acceptable to any of us, nor is the pathway of violence. Each of us know the pathway of our God is one of Peace and Justice for all.
I commend you to God in the leadership you are exercising at this time. Please remember you do not stand alone. We value the contribution that your various Islamic Communities have brought to great Sydney and to this Nation.
Allah Akbar. God is truly Great.

Mrs.

recent
Dilmah
High
Tea
Challenge
held
at
Southbank.
The
challenge
was
to
create
a
tea
infused
‘High
Tea’
treat.
Faaiza,
for
her
part,
made
Dilmah
tea
infused
Chai
Macarons
inspired
by
her
trip
to
India
earlier
this
year.

for

earlier

by
Peter
Kuravita
(renowned
Australian-Sri
Lankan
Chef),
Bernd
Uber
and
Dilhan
Fernando
(son
of
Dilmah
Founder,
Merrill
J
Fernando).
Faaiza
came
away
with
a
well-earned
Silver
Medal.

her
experiences,

wrote:
I was up since 4:30 AM that morning, the nerves had gotten the better of me and I couldn’t get back to sleep. I eventually got out of bad, got all my stuff together in a mad dash and headed to Southbank. I was given a tag and sent to the kitchen, where I met some of the other participants who were all lovely. I was third up so I eagerly awaited my chance to set up my table.
The judge’s feedback was extremely good, Peter and Dilhan exclaiming that my macorons combined with my cinnamon tea took them back to their childhood. Bernd, who said he has become so sick of macarons, was also very complimentary, stating he was glad I didn’t colour them, and kept them natural and did something completely different and unique with them. Peter and Dilhan were also excited at my efforts at speaking Sinhalese. “Ayubowan”, a Sri Lankan greeting, for which I have the parents of Maryam’s Kitchen to thank.
But those good compliments were met with some negatives. I honestly didn’t realise the judges would have such high expectations, their attention to detail was second to none and they wanted to have a complete high tea experience, which I don’t believe I delivered. In my nerves there were a few things I neglected, I didn’t fill the sugar bowl, I didn’t give them milk (I had planned on serving black tea though) and they also wanted honey as an option, Dilhan also commented that I didn’t brew the tea long enough (even though when they were ready to move on to the next table, he stayed to finish that last sip)
After my judging was complete, I went to the balcony where a photographer was waiting to take pictures of my macarons. Now let me tell you, this isn’t any photographer, this is the photographer that took the pictures for Adriano Zumbo’s next macaron book (Zumborons)!! I guess that totally qualifies my macarons into celebrity status.
It was a wonderful experience and I think the thing that will stay with me was Dilhan saying, “Come back next year and knock our socks off!”

Ms Farina
Abawi is
looking for
volunteers
to help her
set up a
charity shop
using eBay.
What it
is
This is an
initiative
to
recycle/resell
high quality
items with
entire
proceeds
going
towards
Muslim
charities
(which
intern help
our local
and global
non-Muslim
and Muslim
communities).
How it
works
First, High
quality
items are
donated,
collected
and listed
on eBay.
Second,
potential
buyers
simply buy
or bid on an
item to
purchase.
And finally,
buyers
nominate
which
charity they
want their
purchase to
go to (from
a selection
of charities
approved
charities).
With only
expenses
taken out
(such as
postage,
paypal &
ebay listing
fees),
buyers can
essentially
give Sadaqah
(money to
their chosen
charity)
whilst
receiving an
item for it
at the same
time!
How you
can help
1) Donate
quality
items (any
style) with
a value of
$25 or more.
Islamic/traditional
clothing is
very
welcomed
because this
offers an
alternative
for those
who wear
Islamic/traditional
wear but
cannot
afford it
new.
2) Be part
of the team
and choose
from your
area of
interest. We
currently
have these
roles
available
and they are
multiple
roles so you
can join
with a
friend:

otherwise)
to make a
change that
will have a
significant
impact on
the Muslim
World. The
impact can
be either
positive or
negative.
The
influence
can be of a
religious
scholar
directly
addressing
Muslims and
influencing
their
beliefs,
ideas and
behaviour,
or it can be
of a ruler
shaping the

Since becoming
head of Hamas,
Mashaal has seen
the organization
through multiple
attempts at a

and a major
Israeli siege of
the Gaza Strip.
Pioneering
Leader
Mashaal has been
recognized for
his persistence
with
Hamas’s
efforts—at
present leading
in exile from
Syria. His
determination is
combined with a
unique effort at
diplomacy.
Mashaal has
shown a
willingness to
negotiate with
Israel to return
to the
1967 borders and
grant
Palestinians a
right of return,
while
importantly
implying the
necessary
existence of the
State of Israel,
despite Hamas’s
historic denial
of that
possibility.
Mashaal has been
one of the
most direct, and
candid leaders
in dialogue and
confrontation
with Israel and
this has
garnered
international
recognition.
We
would like to inform all your readers about our
Mussallah in Lismore NSW.
For last three years the Muslim community in Lismore
and the Northern River area have been praying Juma
and other prayers at the back room in the BP service
station.
As the number of Muslims in the far north coast has
been growing steadily for the last few years we have
realized that we needed a bigger place to pray and
use as community place for all the Muslims in this
region.
Recently we have found a place to rent which is
suitable for our needs and caters for our growing
community and Muslims travelling to this area, and
who would like to pray and rest.
The new address is 149 Woodlark Street, Lismore NSW
2480.

I have just viewed a beautiful video through your
newsletter about Hazrat Muhamaad Mustafa (sallahoalehwasalam)
and the presenter explained the good points from our
Prophet's life in a simple and touching way.
This is the way I was thinking to use for expressing
our anger because I have read somewhere, war of
sword should be fought by sword, war through pen
always be responded by pen (writing) and cyber wars
can be better won by the same way, I was rather
thinking that some Muslim hacker can do something to
remove that bad video from the net.

insisted that he had given the man ample warning by
waving his lantern back and forth for nearly a minute.
Jallalludin even stood and convincingly demonstrated how
he'd done it.
The court believed Jallalludin's story, and the suit was
dismissed.
"Congratulations," the lawyer said to Jallalludin when
it was over. "You did superbly under cross-examination."
"Thanks," Jallalludin said, "but he sure had me
worried."
"How's that?" the lawyer asked.
"I was afraid he was going to ask if the lantern was
lit!"
It is
Allah Who sends forth the
winds, so that they raise up
the clouds, and We drive
them to a land that is dead,
and revive the earth
therewith after its death:
even so (will be) the
Resurrection!
