Fair cop on media ruling, Mr Jones : Comments

By Irfan Yusuf, published 20/4/2007

Surely shock jocks, of all people, wouldn't want to see anyone get away with breaking the law?

CJ Morgan you got it wrong on two accounts.Irfan has described myself and many others on this site who disagreed with him in the past and present as "Armchair Nazis".Just have a look at his past postings on OLO.I was never a self described"Arm Chair Nazi" in either of your perceptions.Irfan himself desribed myself and others as such many times on OLO.

Instead of referring to "his blog" Irfan should have made reference to "his website".Irfan's blog was on OLO's website,that is my interpretation.You and Irfan may well make merry with semantics but the reality remains the same.Islam is poison to our Western Democracies,just as Hitler and facism was poison to those who opposed him in WW2.

It is interesting that Irfan censors his own website,since that says a lot about his own inadaqacies.I just don't trust him or his religion.

A couple of old rams from the neo christian flock of bleeting christians. Its always a problem at pagan festival when your only alternatives are doddering old rams of christian facism and young skinny christian lamb idealoges of no substance.

I mean the last time I observed aqvarvs was his waxing and a wanning about his memory of a young catholic scholar, treading his path in his white shirt, grey slacks, school blazer and black loafers (do let me know if I have the details incorrect)to his very public private school. The parable does not end there; aqvarvs, was required to suffer for the faith, in the terrible taunts of 'catholic dogs sitting on fences..' and a hail of rocks. My heart bleeds at another catholic martyr to the faith. Not only that aqvarvs was brought up to be believe that he was the elite and so his little theoretical rhetoric at the beginning of his post. Grow up mate! Sursum Corda.

Now to Arjay who's name is appropriate in that he is one of our little lambs that we do appreciate. His freenzied dingo style attacks, remind us that rabbi's is still a problem in our modern communities.

I hope you both pray for me tonight, after you have had your glass of warm milk. Don't forget that christianity is about forgiving your ememies and turning the other cheek. It is festival time after all!

I’m not sure what Shanno and CJMorgan get up to in public toilets but both need to research the facts…

London’s bobbies were on a blitz-for-bounty at the time, they rewarded the ‘biggest-catch-of-the-night’.

Alan Jones coached the Australian footie team (beating the Poms soundly) - plenty of incentive to upset him and the team by fair means or foul. All charges were dropped and an apology extended. The ‘bounty system’ also came to a sudden abrupt end…as it should have.

Any man relieving himself in a public toilet is in a vulnerable position easily accused of ‘exposing’ his person…like you, I wasn’t there so, can’t prove guilt or innocence…nevertheless I believe everyone is ‘innocent until proven guilty in a court of law’…which Alan Jones never was…quite the reverse.

It is interesting you both pretend ‘tolerance and respect’ for all, including terrorist sympathisers and those who will vilify and degrade women…yet engage in the same language and vilification of someone you ‘accuse’ of being homosexual…cowardly as you are, using innuendo and insidious remarks. Even if he was, homosexuality isn’t a crime in Australia as far as I’m aware today. Your pitiful accusation begs the question, where is his ‘partner’ or ‘partners’? Are you suggesting he has ‘secret lovers’? Again, I’d suggest you’re not only clutching at straws, but you are engaging in the very vilification that you purport to oppose. Hypocrisy at its most despicable.

As for your ‘mad mufti’, he has indeed ‘broken the law’ applying to all Australians…with sexist vilification and incitation to violence against women. When you huff-and-puff as loudly against his vile utterances, you may gain a semblance of credibility in your statements about others whose remarks pale into insignificance by comparison.

RE: Chris Masters…If you’d followed his journalistic ‘achievements’, you wouldn’t be so quick to assume his latest effort holds any credibility. When interviewed by journalists unsupportive of AJ, Masters was forced to admit he had no evidence against Jones and had been condemned for much of the contents of the book by people who knew or were associated with events discussed in the ‘book’.

(tbc...)

RE: Masters - I’d say ‘pulp fiction’ was generous.

Irfan, there’s so little difference between the majority of Libs and ALP now - they may as well merge…they’re all paid by the same pipers, the transnational corporations who fund election campaigns of all the major parties so they dictate policy and the government and opposition meekly acquiesce or fall over themselves to comply.

More exclusivity Irfan? It’s a pity some of the ‘wackos’ supporting you here aren’t as carefully screened, you don’t seem to mind them joining your thread…you only have difficulty with opposing opinions or those who point out the numerous flaws in your piece.

Confine yourself to your own ‘exclusive’ site and avoid any opposition or free thought at all… : )

Netab, your confusing diatribe’s exposed your own bigotry and pitiful prejudices yet again…I am not a supporter, nor a disciple of either-the-right-or-the-left…I judge politicians and their supporters on merit…individually. Irfan exemplifies that extremes of left and right are a lot alike…and suffer the same delusions. RE: the ‘battler’ in you…your greatest battle seems to be with reality.

As for the judiciary…they’re not omnipotent either, though many of them would disagree…there’ve been lots of innocents incarcerated (or killed, in the days of capital punishment). The law’s there to protect-and-serve – to ensure we treat one another with respect…it doesn’t always succeed, neither does the judiciary.

RE: The Qu’ran – disallows usuary; labour-saving conveniences, e.g., dish-washers, etc.; the use of ‘images’; all conveniently ignored by Irfan, Osama Bin Laden, Hilali and every other fundamentalist Muslim who argues for the rest of us to acknowledge the Qu’ran…or else…be branded as intolerant, infidels, racks of meat, or worse…more do-as-I-say,-but-not-as-I-do from that quarter, huh?

Crikey CJM, amazingly you continue to accuse all those with differing opinions of blindly following AJ as ‘disciples’, while you are clearly incapable of even conceiving your own labels and slander without having it dictated by your masters…Crikey, give it a rest and have an original thought!

Gee Meg1, rattling your cage would sure be a sight to behold in the zoo. I picture a chimpanzee enclosure where throwing dung is the accepted norm. Which brings me to your comment about not knowing what I do in public toilets. If you don't know I suggest a basic book on human biology may provide some enlightenment.

Seriously though Meg, anyone who is an apologist for Alan Jones really has a screw loose. I find it hard to believe that even he believes the drivel he dishes out. He's just doing a job that pays him bloody big money. And he knows full well that the more controversial he sounds the more he gets paid. Take away the inflammatory remarks, specious arguments and cash for comments then he'd probably just have to settle for working in the ABC where truth and professionalism in reporting seems to still be a strongly held value. Hey, doesn't Chris Masters work there?

Arjay - settle down, old son. I was merely responding to what you yourself wrote. It's hardly my fault if you can't express yourself properly.

Also, poor old Meg1 does seem to be a bit rattled, doesn't she? Her increasingly hysterical apologetics for the Parrot, while verbose, do very little other than demonstrate her blind loyalty to her hero. In her diatribes, there seems to be a pattern emerging where she has a fairly indiscriminate spray at all who welcome Gloria getting his just deserts, but when called upon to explain herself she simply obfuscates by attacking those who question her.

I'm still waiting to learn whose disciple I am, and also which laws the hapless Hilali has broken. While I agree with her sentiments about being innocent until proven guilty, surely this should apply to Jones, who HAS been found guilty and convicted of breaching media laws.

With respect to Chris Masters' articulation of the open secret of Gloria's closet homosexuality, perhaps Meg1 could address the point made by me and others that if his book was fictitious (as she claims), then why hasn't Jones enacted his threat to sue? Meg1 questions Masters' credibility on the basis of his "achievements" - I guess multiple Walkley awards and the odd Logie, not to mention the Public Service Medal and Centenary Medal for service to Australian society in journalism, aren't good enough for her.

Personally, I'd believe Masters over the rabble-rousing, dog-whistling closet queen anyday. But I guess I'm just not as credulous as his audience apparently is.
