*Danielle said*
I am interested in comments that all of Sharia law is not bad. Obviously. However, which laws do you think would benefit the Australian legal system?

Personally, I am against introduction of any religious (or cultural) laws into the Australian legal system, no matter if 'seen' to be beneficial. This is a slippery slope.

I believe Australians should not adopt any law or cultural practices from outside, particularly non-Western. All laws should reflect the wider Australian community; as our democracy does.

Danielle, I couldn’t agree more . I think you may have misunderstood me. I said if it gives the woman peace of mind to seek the blessing of the imun to apply for a divorce – no harm.
So long as they are not charging for their service. After all many people paid & pay the Catholic Church to have their 20 year marriages wiped away – so the can re-marry in the Church.

There is no place in our legal system for Shari law . ACCEPT may i point out to you the our government has given Mr Ikebal Patel AFIC & others consent to perform ritual slaughter of animals which they are paid so much per box + a fee per year. I say this is WRONG and i demand the government stops this NOW. Is it any wonder that these people like Ikebal Patel think they can push more Sharia laws into this beautiful free country of ours when Petal and others are getting mixed messages from our federal government. No wonder why these people call us hypocrites & push for even more extreme Sharia laws.
The attorney general moved quickly to say there would be NO Sharia law ever in Australia.

Thank you Mr Attorney general so will you PLEASE now act quickly to Ban these cruel ritual slaughters the federal government have given consent to carry out on Australian soil.
It is unthinkable this is going on all day every day in Australia under Sharia Law Mr Attorney general when you said there would be no Sharia law in Australia.
So yes Danielle here is some Sharia law + we have Kosher being carried out in Australia . What we saw on 4 corners is going on right here- right now under Sharia law in Australia.
I will post some picture- links later of what these cruel bastards do in the name of religion . As far as Ikebal Patel goes hes done & dusted and soon will be nothing more than a bad memory
However it does make us wonder how the government does have a better hold over – who- whom are the chosen so called leaders of these groups.
Here is a man who has been standing alongside Aussie polys-& made Ambassador for ACT Australia day .
Patel in my opinion takes the $ which should be used for the purposes to better the community & travels around the world saying- god knows what about us.
It is rumored he pays one hundred and fifty grand to his son in law for building —i don’t know what? Then another 50 G per year to in my opinion by their silence to whatever he does – or does not do..
I doubt there was a full council vote in AFIC on the demand for Sharia law – but i suspect it wouldn’t matter for reasons i mentioned above.
Ikebal Patel & AFIC had a job to do and could have made a wonderful difference- but alas . I have direct knowledge of agreements broken and years of AFIC being highly dishonorable.
I think Col put it best- If you don’t like our ways you are free to leave & good riddens.

Sorry SPOR

That was a >smile<

I also as I have opened another post rather than waste it heard Mr Patel is apparently looking at being sued for not up holding his obligation in a signed agreement to pay his share of office expenditures - wait for it -- for more than 6 years!
Possibly he might feel that having signed signed with a woman she only had a half say in the law.
It will be interesting to see how far his sharia laws take him if this goes to court:)

Patels cries of none money dont really stack up as he trots the world living the high life.

There was another Patel in QLD they called Dr death- I wonder if they are related.

It is no secret, I am regarded as a bigot by some.
And that I am unhappy with SOME from this religion.
And any control by any religion.
I stand by my views.
Question the value of introducing a problem to my country.
However this thread is pointing out good and bad true and maybe questionable things.
I offer no other reason than to highlight, we all need to base our comments on facts, I offer this link.
It will be headlines and spoken of very much in my state.
We could do worse than consider its miss use and understanding of the word HALAL.
I know, even highlight, my views will see me branded as they have in the last few months.
And do not fear such, but remind every critic, freedom to say and think what you wish is our way.
As is yours to be critical of my views, however I too, reserve that last right.

Belly, thanks for that story.

Can you find a way to contact Joseph Adams? ( Maybe through the journo) You know that state & I am busy with the inquiry into live exports.

Belly very important pls advisor of what was Mr Adams? No time to search . I hope he is free to work with us. People should realise many are still upset about the world trade the Bali bombings etc and he should NOT have been sacked. btw I have never seen anybody call you a bigot- or even hint at it. Your just a normal average Aussie bloke who sometimes wont like ok often wont but that doesn't make you a bigot.

I read the story and it all comes back to- if this was in his private time- his account-- or in working hours wearing his advisor hat as far as i am concerned.

It wasn't very *clever to sack him and draw attention to it. Maybe this O'Farrell guy isn't as smart - or clever as he thinks of they think. A quiet chat over a beer at the pub would have been my move rather than blast it all over the apers if i were a poly .

But I am NOT a poly & have zero interest in political stuff. So tell me about O'Farrell Gov in NSW pls Belly- I know little but dont like what i hear s0 far- gutless wonders it shouldn't to me.That sniveling Tony Abbott has been popping into the religious radio stations.

**We could do worse than consider its miss use and understanding of the word HALAL.**

Belly the word halal is just anther word for legal to them---- so the bloke was probably just doing as we are now- blogging away & replying to somebody in debate by saying.

BUT I am very concerned your Government are so WEAK.

What we need is a strong state gov not wimps. Otherwise these guys get mixed messages thats BAD Thats very very bad!

I dont think he should have been sacked.

I just read it again ok he was in the electorate office office i see.
Um well that might be seen as a conflict of interest--

Probably the only thing they could do now i read again to see his position tbo.

Wish I had more time. Legally in that position they probably had no other options. Wasn't very clever of the guy tbo.
I will look for comments on this with some interest

Must work now
