Keysar Trad spreads some soothing syrup to make up for Bashir's faux pas. "Bashir's call to Islam 'in bad taste,'" from NineMSN, with thanks to Jimmy:
Comments by Abu Bakar Bashir urging grieving Australian families of the Bali bombings to convert to Islam are in "bad taste", an Australian Muslim spokesman says.The radical Muslim cleric, who was released from an Indonesian prison on Wednesday, said those killed in the 2002 Bali bombings had been destined to die by God and their grieving families should now convert to Islam to find "salvation and peace".
He also called on Prime Minister John Howard to convert to Islam or face eternity in hell.
Islamic Friendship Association spokesman Keysar Trad on Thursday said Bashir's comments had understandably upset Australians.
"I think these comments are in very bad taste and I can understand that the families would be incensed that he could be making comments of this nature," Mr Trad told AAP.
"They have lost their loved ones in this tragedy and we should be showing them understanding and support rather than talking about their loss in this manner."
Mr Trad said he was surprised by Bashir's outburst and the cleric was not showing "sensitivity".
"As a Muslim I am personally hurt on behalf of the families and I feel a sense of sadness for their loss," he said.
"For him (Bashir) to come out and make these comments I just find he is not passing on the right message.
"I am surprised that he made these comments but I do not believe they will threatened the idea of peace between religions."
Mr Trad said Islam was "a serious religion" that did not "take other people's pain lightly".
All right. Then I trust Mr. Trad is working hard to make sure that no Muslims in Australia believe the way Abu Bakar Bashir does. Isn't he?

Mr. Keysar Trad and by extention, all Muslims worldwide should please keep your "loose cannons" in line and not say things that non-Muslims would take heavy offense with. Also remind Mr. Abu Bakar Bashir once again in a few months with the 5th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks come up so that he does not flap his gums again with inconsiderate words to the families of those victims, please. Thank-you.

"Mr Trad said he was surprised by Bashir's outburst "
And he should, why waste time by asking them to convert when you can force them.

Iran would 'use nuclear defense' if threatened
Statement by Iranian Defense Min. Mostafa Mohammad Najjar comes following months of denial that Iran was seeking nuclear weapons http://www.jpost.com/

"convert to Islam or face eternity in hell"
If heaven were full of Muslims, then I prefer to burn in hell.

Iran would 'use nuclear defense' if threatened ..GONA MOUNT ENERGY ON A MISSLE?........
Answering a question regarding a newly-developed Shahab 4 missile, Najjar said that research activities were underway. Iran would continue production of "different missiles and research," Najjar declared.
The most recent Iranian missile was the Shahab 3, and Iran recently claimed to have followed it up with the development of the Shahab 4.

Gee -- I kinda thought the charred carcasses littering the street in a Tourist District was sort of in bad taste. Must be a cultural thing.

Pablum for baby-minds.
Soporifics for suckers who will be mollified by such an "appeal to reason" (handed out by those trying to disguise that they are utterly unreasonable -for Allah- themselves).
'Quick-Response' style disinformation at its 'best'. (Maniac Muslim shoots off big yap, send out "moderate Muslim" pacifier to soothe disturbed infidels.)
Smearing honey on the steel-toed boot of Mohammadism as it steps on your face.
Criticism that says nothing, but still "sounds" critical.
While, behind it, looms:
Islam- the Religion of Peace- or else!

A quote from Keyser Trad, the Muslim taqiyya spreader in Australia,
"our ideology is the best salvation for the people of Australia, and the people of the world in general. Yes, we are a threat to the culture of drunkenness, paedophilia, and mostly we are a big threat to the culture of ELITISM."
"In a way, they feel safe because of the quantity of water which surrounds this country, so they feel fortified behind this great body, it gives them a feeling of security. But the reality is, the land belongs to God, not to them, and if those foreigners, whom they fear as migrants are not permitted to enter as migrants, they will come as settlers, in numbers so large that they will not be able to process them, hold them, or stop them. What will they do then? If these foreigners who are restraining themselves, because they see a legal hope, that they can come to this vast mainly uninhabited land for whatever reason, are told that there is no longer a legal way to come here, what will they do?"

Mr Trad said Islam was "a serious religion" that did not "take other people's pain lightly".
...except for infidels of course.

Islamic Friendship Association...talk about an oxymoron!
Posted by: Seymour Paine at June 15, 2006 5:02 PM
Oh, Mr. Trad, we have heard enough of that same Muslim BS. It's the same Quran instruction: Deceive the infidels and lull them into thinking Islam is good. Yeah, right. I came from a Muslim country. No, your appeal to emotion won't work.
Posted by: ssa at June 15, 2006 5:14 PM
Abu Bakar Bashir is at least an honest Muslim terrorist, he speaks what he believes in, while the others decieve the non-muslims. we here are not surprised. Wake up call for all non-muslims, time to label a terrorist is a terrorist.

The two prongs of Islamic Jihad:
1) Bashir fomenting physically violent jihad
2) Trad obfuscating #1 with Taqiyya.
#2 works only because of Western stupidity -- i.e., multiculturalist PC, which is still our dominant paradigm.
I repeat: only.
I repeat: only.
I repeat: only.
I repeat: only.

I don't know if this story has been over on Dhimmi Watch but Andrew Bolt has an interesting story about the Labour party (a "centre" left party that has been totally taken over by "the left") has appointed a fanatical Syrian Muslim to a key seat, I assume in Victoria.
This man praises Hamas and the like...

On topic:
Trad deserves a blood transfer from a pig. He IS NOT an Australian, he is A MUSLIM.
at June 15, 2006 6:43 PM
Trad, in one of his rants, called white Australians the "dregs of society"... he is on record for quite a few hateful outbursts but he has never been taken to task. He is a worthless parasite, no more...
Just keep in mind that Trad has practically no following, whereas Bashir in Indonesia has tens of thousands who can be sent on a killing spree at the drop of a hat....

Taqiyya notwithstanding, it is funny seeing Jihadists being given a lecture on political correctness. Something like Zawahiri advising Zarqawi to switch from beheadings to firing squads.

Thanks for posting that.
I saw that story. I gives me the creeps about the Syrian would-be MP. I have no doubt he will get into that safe labour seat. Labour is totaly left in Victoria. It loves multi-culturalism to pieces!
Andrew Bolt did another story about the state attorney general, Rob Hulls who is planning to "reducate " judges so they are more in line with leftist/moonbat sensibilities.

All this concern for civil liberties is fine...but I feel that civil liberties won't be any good to us if we are victims of a terror attack and so I am willing to lose a few if it means containing these creeps.
Everyone
We are all agreed on Trad!
(May be I should become "Boltfan"!)

*re-educate* sorry!

the bin-donesian Islamic anthem might go something akin to this:
Oh!Bashir's a bin-head!Bashir's a bin-head,yeah!
He's a bin-head!
She's a bin-head!
They're a bin-head!
Don't you want to be a bin-head, too!!??!
Oh, Bashir's a bin-head.....

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
No, only up and to murdering them it they won't convert.
at June 15, 2006 11:34 PM
Keysar Trad is the biggest liar in Australia. His comments come under the Islamic doctrine of Taqeya. He has been lying a lot to make Islam acceptable in Australia for the sake of more converts to his evil religion.

I happened to listen to BBC World Service interviewing one of the survivors of the Bali bombings.
What struck me were the way the interviewer harassed the victim by uttering "but he's a spiritual leader" and "but he has always maintained his innocence", while the Aussie victim was trying to explain his outrage concerning the early release of Bashir.
According to BBC logic Muslim "spiritual" leaders should be respected because they are spiritual leaders. Their actions or words don't matter.

I saw Keysa Trad in Sydney this week in the street. I looked right at him as we walked past. He looked away.. Why do I bother to mention this? Because I felt he wasent confident enough to look at one of the people he insults in his statements.

Being stoned on MJ and doing Disneyland is fine as long as those who indulge in them are
a) willing to fight to save them
and
b) know who most threatens to take them away.

This remarkable essay by Theodore Dalrymple, psychiatrist, author, urbane and widely traveled, was cited by David Brooks of the N.Y. Times as the best journal article of 2004.
Dalrymple speaks not only from his clinical experience but, more important, from his on-the-ground observations during his residence in many Islamic cultures.
In this unforgettable and provocative essay he explains why - despite the usual PC platitudes - moderation does not (can not) prevail over fanaticism given the dynamics of Islamic theology and faith.
You'll never forget his terrific insights!
