Oz:Islamic School Bans Australian National Anthem
Islam in Action ^ | Dec. 5th 2008 | Christopher Logan

Posted on 12/05/2008 4:54:32 PM PST by Islaminaction

An Islamic college in the land of Oz has banned the song Advance Australia Fair, which just happens to be the country's national anthem. It was was said to be anti-Islamic. A group of brave Australians came out in protest against the school, the Muslims called the protests un-Australian. Obviously freedom of speech and assimilating are also anti-Islamic.

But Mr Pravin Chand, whose version of events was backed by a second teacher, said he had not heard the anthem once this year.

"No national anthem to me means no integration with Australian kids," Mr Chand said. "Western values (at the school) are a no-no.

"It's like a paramilitary camp that place."

Mr Chand's employment was terminated by the college board last month on the grounds he was "not fitting into the school's ethos".

FYI, Pravin Chand is a Hindu name.

"But school trustee Keysar Trad said news the anthem was not played regularly at school assemblies came as a shock.

Mr Trad said the anthem was performed at every major school function but was removed from daily assemblies by the principal without the endorsement of the school board.

Trustees and the board would meet to discuss performing the anthem at every school assembly, he said.

"My personal recommendation is that it be performed at every assembly," he said.

Mr Trad said the students were proud to sing the anthem and were known locally for their performance of it.

"Personally, I love the content because it's full of these wonderful words which reflect values that we all share," he said.

And now for the 'Real' Keysar Trad:

LINK.

"...The mufti's sermon, in the Department of Foreign Affairs translation obtained by sources, contained admiring references to Arab martyrs and a reference to the September 11 World Trade Centre attacks as "God's work against oppressors".

The mufti has denounced the way his comments have been interpreted in written responses to questions posed by The Sun-Herald through his spokesman, Kayser Trad.

Keysar Trad speaks with forked tongue. Methinks the rot started to set in when Keysar Trad became involved with the school.

The self-appointed Mufti of Australia and New Zealand ( to give him his full, self-appointed title) is famous for the 'scantilly-dressed women as meat' comment, thus this cartoon:

Notice the burqa-clad meat!
