After being accused of illegal land clearing and carrying out illegal works on a NSW rural property an Islamic leader has claimed immunity from Australian law.

He is, of course, entirely mistaken, but the mindset is of great interest.

Not particularly, he just sounds like your regular or garden variety idiot who hasn't properly comprehended the regulations governing religious charities. It's possible that English isn't his first language, which would be a mitigating factor. Hell, I struggle with legalese at times.

Is Mise Tony is in denial, by calling this guy a garden variety idiot. This guy is not alone in this view of Australian laws.

Why should only Muslims be immune from Australian law? We all should, unless we opt in!

All immigrants, including Muslims, treat Australia, our laws, traditions and culture (what's left of it) like sh-t because they are encouraged to do so by our filthy politicians with their filthy policy of multiculturalism. Multiculturalism openly encourages people to do whatever they did in Bongo Bongo land in Australia. Most people don't seem to understand what multiculturalism is, and what it really means, even though its effect has been obvious in all countries that have introduced it. All this wailing and gnashing of teeth when the expected happens is a waste of time, and too bloody late.

The council would have given warnings, he is playing the belligerent card then the racist card.
