“Saudi Arabia has launched an extraordinary attack on Australia, deeming our government ‘racist’ for ‘sympathising’ with the Christchurch mosque killer. Abdulaziz Alwasil, Riyadh’s ambassador to the United Nations, accused the Government of supporting anti-Islamic terrorists.”
The attack came after Australia’s Ambassador to the UN, Sally Mansfield, delivered a joint statement on behalf of 25 countries, decrying the Kingdom’s human rights record at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.” The statement was met with hostility. In response, Alwasil singled out Australia “as a nation where xenophobia and racism against Muslims had garnered government support.”
Alwasail continued on to accuse “some” Western countries of “radicalism against Muslims,” and cited the “Australian background of the suspect beyond the Christchurch terror attacks on two mosques earlier this year.”
But Abdulaziz Alwasil did not tell the rest of the story. A New Zealand News Hub report — Christchurch mosque linked to al-Qaida suspect — revealed in 2014 that the al Noor mosque had al-Qaeda connections. The reported stated:
A Christchurch mosque has been linked to the drone killing of New Zealand al-Qaida suspect Daryl Jones. The parents of an Australian killed alongside Jones say their son was taught radical Islam in Christchurch, where he also met Mr Jones. Christopher Havard was killed alongside Mr Jones by a US drone in Yemen” in 2013. His parents, Neill and Bronwyn Dowrick, say their son told them he was first taught radical Islam at the Al Noor mosque in Addington.
This is no justification for the Christchurch attack, but it does show that Alwasil’s picture of innocent Muslims victimized by “Islamophobes” is simplistic and inaccurate. While the Saudi Ambassador accuses Australia and other Western governments of violating Muslims’ human rights, another News Hub article reported:
A list of Designated Terrorist Entities, published by New Zealand police a week after the Christchurch terror attacks, is almost exclusively populated by Al Qaeda and Islamic State-linked individuals and organisations. Not one right-wing extremist or white supremacist is included on the list….The United Nations’ register of terrorists includes 1962 people and 455 groups, and means if anyone on the list enters the country, they would be arrested under the Terrorism Suppression Act.
Jihad terror is a global threat, but violent jihadists are sheltered by stealth jihadists, who scream “racism” when their acts are called out. Also, Sharia-adherent countries have been conditioning Western countries to view as abhorrent any comments about Islam that they consider offensive. Due to this persistent pressure from Islamic States (and individuals) upon Western states to conform to their Islamic supremacist mores, it has become taboo to even mention the 2014 News Hub report about Al Noor mosque. Most of the mainstream media would rather avoid being called “xenophobic,” “racist,” and “Islamophobic,” which is the primary psychological weapon employed by Islamic supremacists to beat down Western critics of Islam.
Meanwhile, infidels are routinely being slaughtered by jihadists in the name of Islam, while gross human rights abuses continue in Saudi Arabia and in other Sharia-adherent states. Sally Manfield’s statement in effect cornered Saudi Ambassador Alwasil, who managed to deflect the embarrassment of being in the spotlight by resorting to the Islamic supremacist default button of victimology. Rather than address Saudi Arabia’s human rights abuses, he escaped the spotlight by the tired old tactic that Westerners continuously fall for: he screamed “racism,” “xenophobia,” and the absurd accusation of “radicalism against Muslims.”
“Saudi Arabia’s extraordinary attack on Australia,” by Gavin Fernando, News.com.au, September 27, 2019:
Saudi Arabia has launched an extraordinary attack on Australia, deeming our government “racist” for “sympathising” with the Christchurch mosque killer.
Abdulaziz Alwasil, Riyadh’s ambassador to the United Nations, accused the Government of supporting anti-Islamic terrorists.
He said minorities, migrants and Muslims faced “horrific violations of human rights” and “racist and extremist policies”.
“Unfortunately, these have become popular and even accepted by some Western parliaments, they are even sponsored by certain governments,” Mr Alwasil said.
The United Nations’ register of terrorists includes 1962 people and 455 groups, and means if anyone on the list enters the country, they would be arrested under the Terrorism Suppression Act.
He condemned a speech by Australia’s ambassador to the UN, Sally Mansfield, decrying the kingdom’s human rights record as ill-informed.
“We have listened with great surprise to the statement of Australia on behalf of a group of states. In it, there are many mistakes and misleading information against my country. The kingdom continues its reform policies in accordance with its values and Islamic teachings, especially with regards to the rights of women.”
Australia led a coalition of countries condemning the Saudis over a series of human rights abuses, including arbitrary detention, torture and the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Ms Mansfield, delivered a statement on behalf of 24 nations expressing her “deep concern” at the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia….

That’s truly rich: KSA complaining of racism. The common term among Arabs for a black African is ‘abd’ (a slave). Is that racist? The Saudis have such a racist society that it is considered inappropriate to marry outside one’s tribe or even one’s clan, let alone to marry a non-Arab. Descendants of Mohammed get special privileges denied to others. The Islamic foundational source texts are filled with racist snobbery.
For KSA to complain about racism is as absurd as KSA being on committees enforcing the rights of women.
mortimer says
I’m all for KSA being concerned about human rights. They should lead by example first.
Lotus says
Unfortunately, western countries suck up to the Saudis because of their oil and gas.
If Arabia were just a giant sandpit, nobody would give a hoot about the Arabs or what they think.

What a fucking laugh Saudi Arabia! And this coming from one of the two biggest sponsors of terrorism and violence on the face of our planet, level next to Iran. And of course you also have a bloody exemplary record on the treatment of islamic women too, don’t you?!
If many Australians are developing an ever more radically pissed-off attitude to muslims here Australia (especially in places like the western suburbs of Sydney, and in Melbourne) it’s their anti Autralian culture attude and antics that has more than just a small part to do with it. Be warned a**eholes, Australia and cultural Australians are a little bit different from other people you view as ‘suitable victims’ around the world, and even though some of us might at first seem like accepting, tolerant, and easily played gullible sheep, once you push the envelope just that little bit too far with us ( particularly where it concerns OUR accepted way of life, and OUR standards and principles, and OUR laws and liberties) then LOOK OUT.
Lotus says
You Australians have built an admirable First World society in the last couple of hundred of years or so. And that in the face of complex climate and environmental difficulties.
Unfortunately, Muslims are greedily eyeing the fruits of your labour and have already started the process of colonisation. It will only get worse if immigration controls are not tightened up. Don’t let the rot set in.

mortimer says
Yes, it is truly a ‘ process of colonisation’ by Muslims … also known as ‘HEGIRA’ (migration to spread Islam).
You will find Muslims will first establish a CITY from which they can colonize the surrounding regions. This is Mohammed’s SUNNA (sacred example).
Mohammed establish his ‘capital city’ … ME-DINA (place of governance), and then he made raids and wars from Medina until all of Arabia was Muslim.
There are now no-go zones in Australia where the local tough guys will surround and swarm you if you try to film it or document what’s happening. Reporters have been escorted out by Australian police before the Muslims explode. Australia surely has a growing problem, but Western countries are doing nothing to persuade Muslims that the jihad doctrine is impracticable … if it is impracticable in the 21st century, ergo Islam is not ‘eternal’, but nonsense in a nuclear age, and Islam is therefore a false religion.
Paul J says
Muslims are actually one of the most privileged groups of people in Australia, special laws that benefit them only (restricted access to swimming pools being just one) POLICE enforced no go zones, totally immune from any criticism, (that’s hate speech apparently) the list goes on where they are treated differently from the rest of us. Especially when it comes to crime. We have grooming gangs in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, anywhere they set up their ghettos and NOTHING is done about them.
Lotus says
Mortimer wrote: ‘You will find Muslims will first establish a CITY from which they can colonize the surrounding regions.’
That is right. But the next essential step is to found mosques. These are the bases for political and cultural infiltration. A mosque is a trojan horse in a western society.
somehistory says
If one did not already know, one could learn from this that a moslim run country as sa is, confers “rights” only on adult moslim males.
The government of sa goes by their interpretation of islam’s lawless code of behavior. Women and children can be, and are, abused and murdered at the hands of their adult male relatives and they consider this “human rights’ and not a bit unequal.
And they look at countries where moslims are expected to obey the laws written for everyone as “racist” and anit_muslim…although we all know, and so do they…that islam is not a ‘race.’
Racist is a convenient word to use against others with whom the dishonest do not agree.

Niemoller says
What does Saudi Arabia have to say about the Sri Lanka bombings which killed six times more and involved planning by dozens of jihadists? (not to mention jihad in general, and thousands of attacks the world over). Probably nothing.
The NZ attack was evil, but anyone who supports Palestinian terrorism is no better than someone who supports the NZ attacker, who should be executed for his crimes in my opinion. On a logical level, the Palestinian terrorists and supporters want to impose an evil ideology of sharia, islamism and jihad on others, while the NZ attacker says he was resisting the same spreading in the West. Go chew on that for a while.

Saudi Arabia did deport some of those involved, but probably only because they were worried that Jihadist might cause trouble there, as well:

Dear Riyadh, which other country has cities that are off-limits to people of other religions? Jerusalem? Rome? Varanasi? Bodh Gaya? None of these cities prevent non-Jews, non-Christians, non-Hindus, non-Buddhists from visiting. Can you promise not to imprison the next non-Muslims who manage to visit Mecca or Medina? Followed by allowing Christians, Jews, Buddhists as well as non-Sunnis – Shias, Ibadis, et al – to freely practice their religion in Saudi Arabia w/o being bullied by the muttawakil?
Once you’ve done all that, feel free to point out the religious tolerance shortcomings of Australia, Iran, India and any other countries you wish

James Lincoln says
Abdulaziz Alwasil, Riyadh’s ambassador to the United Nations, states:
“The kingdom continues its reform policies in accordance with its values and Islamic teachings, especially with regards to the rights of women.”
He’s actually stating the truth here.
The problem is that the reform policies will always be extremely limited when they have to be done in accordance with Islamic teachings…
KWJ says
Women’s rights activists were arrested soon after they were allowed to drive. The languish in prison. Mind you, many Saudi men were angry about the driving ban being lifted. It is as bad to criticize the royal ruling family about as much as blasphemizing Muhammad. It seemed contradictory that these women were arrested so soon after this baby step of letting women drive.
There is a lot more to reform about women in KSA but the problem is sharia law and their culture. There are a few other odd contradictions such as an Arabian Vogue magazine (new) that featured a beautiful Palestinian model in an ancient style headdress not a hijab.
The wealthy get away with a lot but not the common people. One can get alcohol in Arabia though when two of our military men stupidly drank alcohol off base they were sentenced to lashing. This while recently Saudi people, young guys, who committed crimes in the US, one who killed a girl while driving, were whisked away back to KSA. In other words, they don’t afford Americans the same coddling treatment they get in the US, thanks to our feckless paid off politicians and the many investments in the US.
The OIC also called Sweden racist of all places! This while the rapes have dramatically risen because of Muslim migrants, unsafe no-go zones that firemen don’t feel safe in without police escorts and grenade attacks.
It’s all so preposterous. So many mosques and Islamic organizations are supporting terrorists or teaching discriminatory Islam and non-assimilation and working against our country. Look at the millions of dollars KSA and Qatar have invested in all grades of our schools and other problems regarding our airlines and military installations and Secretary of State Pompeo sucking up to this.
The real underlying problem is political and financial bullying and compliant Americans who don’t stand up for American citizens and allow this humiliation upon themselves in the process. But the same enabling goes for the Muslim Brotherhood who also supports various terrorists and militias the Islamic ideology, sharia rule except being able to vote for a leader. They want the KSA monarchy deposed but they are no better. Remember James Clapper called the MB “largely secular,” a blatant lie.
Who cares about Kashoggi. He was MB and Saudi monarchy out. I don’t know how Saudis felt about him writing for the Washington Post. So we have two problems…Islam and our own people. Trudeau pals with MB too. It’s all kind of insanity.
By the way, I read Bush’s speech just days after 9/11 about not blaming Muslims nor Islam quoting a verse in the Qur’an that is actually against non-believers. Who gave him that verse? A sleight of hand and an insult to Americans.
David says
What is OIC? The Organisation of Islam Control?
Walter Sieruk says
It’s not Australia that is is guilty of “horrific violations of human rights” but the Islamic kingdom of Saudi Arabia
An example, on March 11, 2002 in Saudi Arabia a girls dorm caught of fire, the girls naturally rushed out of that dorm that was on fire . In their hast to escape the flames they forgot to take and put on their face veils. Those Islamic state police of Saudi Arabia with this totally unreasonable and heartless Islamic mindset forced all the girls back into the dorm that was on fire. Only because they didn’t have their face veils. So all those girls did a horrible painful death .This is worse than tragic and sad, this is the murderous misogyny of the Islamic kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
gravenimage says
Yes–hideous.
James Lincoln says
The dorm fire – beyond horrific.
Here is a link to a surprisingly critical BBC article about what had happened:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1874471.stm
David says
Would some muslim care to elucidate on the “horrific violations of human rights” by Australians, if indeed there are any. I doubt it somehow.
Walter Sieruk says
It’s Saudi Arabia that is the terrible violator human rights as by that brutal cruel affront of Female Genital mutilation.
This heinous Islamic custom of misogyny has been exposed in the book by Brigitte Gabriel which is entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED. For on page 178 it reveals to the reader that “One of the most devastating practices to young girls of the Islamic world is female genital mutilation. Young girls have their clitoris removed without anesthesia…”
There is an old saying that most times applies to one individual to another ,nevertheless is this specific case it applies to the nation of Saudi Arabia accusing the nation of Australia of committing “horrific violations of human rights.” The saying is “He who points his finger and someone has ,at the same time , three more fingers pointing back at him.”
Lotus says
This also applies: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
qq// The proverb has been traced back to Geoffrey Chaucer’s ‘Troilus and Criseyde’ . George Herbert wrote in 1651: ‘Whose house is of glass, must not throw stones at another.’
This saying is first cited in the United States in ‘William & Mary College Quarterly’. Twenty-six later Benjamin Franklin wrote, ‘Don’t throw stones at your neighbors’, if your own windows are glass.’ //qq
(From “Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings” by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996).
Walter Sieruk says
It’s not Australia but the Islamic nation of Saudi Arabia that is an horrific violator on human rights by funding supporting and encouraging Muslim terrorism which is movement of the worst human rights that can possibly be .
For the Islamic kingdom of Saudi Arabia has not and will not spare any of its vast oil wealth as to use its financial resources to fund and promote the advancement of Islam by and through the jihad. By this it means both the stealth jihad and even the subtle support violent jihad.
As explained, for example in the book HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD by William Wagner. For on pages 109, 110. The reader is informed that “The Wall Street journal on April 15, 2003 published an article titled ‘In law Seminars, A Saudi Group Spreads Extremism.’ The article began by saying ‘In late February more than 300 young men from across Europe gathered for a weekend seminar on Islamic Law put on by Al-Waqf al-Islaami Foundation.’ The article went on to explain that the most famous graduates from the seminar were half a dozen members of the group of young men from Hamburg, Germany, who plotted the September 11, attacks. The language of the was Dutch, but ‘the message was imported from Saudi Arabia, via Saudi books and lecturers who taught a strict orthodox interpretation of Islam.’ “
Further on the very same page of 110 the information is given that “TIME MAGAZINE , in an article on Saudi Arabia: Inside the Kingdom,’ stated ‘Apart from channeling money to foundations that have assisted terrorist groups, Saudis have for years supported institutions abroad the propagate Wahhabism.’”
In addition to all this, in the book of the title of THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS, by Robert Spencer on pages 333 through 337.Mr Spencer provides valid information of the subject of “ The Saudi involvement in September 11.”
So with that Islamic regime of Saudi Arabia and its oil money support the different type of the jihad, both stealth and the violent kind, with its Islamic agenda advancement and spread , influence and infiltration of the Western nations ,this kingdom of Saudi Arabia is no friend of human rights
Madeline Mardigan says
Well, the best thing for everyone is for Muslim to live in Saudi Arabia and not in the racist western countries that don’t want the hassle anyway
abad says
If that is the case, then maybe, just maybe, every single Moslem in Australia should leave that country and move to Saudi Arabia.
There is just NO need for Moslems to be migrating to a western nation. None.
And – Moslems are going to have to work a little harder at not moving to a western nation.

Of course, this is total garbage from Saudi Arabia, which has pretty well zero human rights. What a disgusting joke the UN is. I think they have disgusting countries like Saudi Arabia and other countries with zero human rights on the HUman Rights committee. A total joke. And what a nonsense argument by this Saudi moron to say that because one Australian attacks a mosque in New Zealand, Australia is “racist”. What a solid argument based on so much evidence. I heard a panel of people here in Australia discussing this (I think it was on the “Outsiders” TV show on Sky TV News), and they said, look, it’s time for Australia to show the way and leave the UN, and all western, civilised countries should do the same, and the UN should be housed not in the USA but some shithole country like Saudi Arabia. I think it would be a good idea. All the UN seems to be is a body that mostly just spews out hatred for the western nations and western values. And all these UN enemies of western values (which they’d like to destroy) live a nice, comfortable life in the USA while they spew their garbage..

Oh dear, don’t forget, Tim, it was Australia who was one of the main instigators who were instrumental in initially bringing this now absurd monster into being in the first place – in the form of The League Of Nations. oh sorry, world, we didn’t really mean it, I think we were a little drunk at the time.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for that information, Trick_or_Treat.. I didn’t know that Australia had anything to do with that. I vaguely remember how useless the League of Nations was during the years when Hitler began to ramp up the violence in Europe. But, of course, it’s also true that things change over time and, maybe, the UN once was a worthwhile organisation. These days, as I said above, I think it is a rabid hater of the western world and its values, at least that’s what it seems to be to me, and I’d say any criticisms that liars like this Saudi propagandist send our way should be worn like a badge of honour. I remember watching the “Outsiders” program a couple of weekends back and I think they were interviewing Senator James McGrath and I think it was about Australia being criticised in the UN for not doing enough on climate change(oh no, more criticism) and McGrath just replied, well we should tell the UN to “get stuffed”. I thought it was pretty funny for a politician to be that blunt.
