The former US President Bill Clinton says dialogue is the best way to resolve the underlying tensions which led to racially motivated riots in Cronulla two months ago. Mr Clinton spoke on a number of controversial topics during his visit to Sydney today. He addressed 700 people who paid almost $2,500 each to hear him at a business conference. Mr Clinton had this advice about moving forward after the Cronulla riots: "Get people together and talk beyond the superficial and to really have contact, and find out they have more in common that what separates them," he said. He also...

QUEENSLAND is not immune to the pressures which sparked the Cronulla riots in Sydney, with the Gold Coast and Logan the likely flash-points, a leading academic said yesterday. Hurriyet Babacan, associate director at the Centre for Multicultural and Community Development at the University of the Sunshine Coast, will today host a symposium on how to respond to the riots. The conference, to be held at Griffith University, will be attended by representatives of nine universities and 30 religious groups, including a number of Muslim speakers. Fifteen speakers would pose the questions: What led to the events in Cronulla and is...

A BRAWL has broken out over suggestions the NSW Government has been too politically correct to arrest the people responsible for revenge attacks in the wake of the Cronulla riot. NSW Opposition Leader Peter Debnam yesterday repeated his attack on the Iemma Government for being soft on ethnic crime and criticised police for failing to arrest people of Middle Eastern descent. Premier Morris Iemma denied telling police to go soft on people of Middle Eastern descent and responded angrily to the comments. Inspecting the state's new anti-riot squad, Mr Iemma promised a crackdown on antisocial and riotous behaviour. "We're on...

THE New South Wales Government has urged a Sydney beachside council to rethink its decision not to fly the Australian flag over the iconic Bondi Pavilion amid suggestions the move was inspired by racial tensions. But Waverley Council's deputy mayor said Premier Morris Iemma didn't understand the facts and accused Liberal councillors of hijacking the issue for political gain. Mr Iemma today urged the council to reconsider its 6-5 vote against flying the flag over the heritage-listed building. "Our flag is a symbol of national unity and the council decision is just ridiculous, they want to reconsider it and reconsider...

PLANS to erect the Australian flag over the Bondi Beach pavilion were vetoed because of fears the symbols could incite further racial violence on Sydney's beaches. In a decision met with outrage from residents, returned servicemen and ethnic groups, Waverley Council voted six to four against the proposal, declaring Australia's most famous beach should remain clear of flags to "remove provocation". Mayor Mora Main and fellow Green George Copeland led a block of Labor councillors, including deputy mayor George Newhouse, Peter Moscatt and Ingrid Strewe, vetoing the plan by Liberal councillor Joy Clayton on December 13. The Australian flag and...

Council bans Australian flag January 02, 2006 PLANS to fly Australian flags over the famous Bondi Beach pavilion were vetoed because of fears the symbols could incite more racial violence on Sydney's beaches.

Jack of the Union Jack? Let's choose a proper ensign for Australia. FOR me, the nightmarish recent events in Cronulla have condensed into a recurring hallucination of red, white and blue. The national flag blurs across heads, biceps, marching standards and car bumpers, then suddenly morphs into red and black flashbacks of the Nuremberg rallies. The flag in not too subtle a fashion was deployed to demarcate belonging and exclusion, owner and Auslander, "grew here" and "flew here" — in short, an Australian caste system. The Prime Minister's response was: "Look, I would never condemn people for being proud of...

THE holiday spirit won out yesterday as Australians celebrated Christmas the best way they know how -- by eating, drinking and relaxing without too much of a care in the world. Another year of living in the shadow of terrorism, coupled with a fortnight of racial tension in Sydney, were forgotten as people headed to the nation's beaches and parklands, or stayed at home to enjoy the festive spirit. Only one incident caused alarm. A prank bomb on a Sydney train, which sparked a full-scale police operation, was the only scare in an otherwise quiet Christmas, tragically marred by 11...

PRIME Minister John Howard is fuelling Islamic radicalism by demonising Muslims, says one of Australia's most controversial Islamic leaders. Firebrand Melbourne cleric Mohammad Omran says the Howard Government has made "naive" Australians paranoid about Muslims and fuelled the belief they would commit terrorist attacks, The Australian newspaper reported today. "The Government is pushing the people to believe they (Muslims) can do all these major disaster things," Sheikh Omran said. He again denied Osama bin Laden was responsible for the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the US. Sheikh Omran also lashed out at suggestions his teachings were linked to alleged...

A MAN and a teenager are in custody tonight after facing court on charges of burning an Australian flag during Sydney's racial unrest. Two other teenagers were granted bail over a violent incident at Cronulla train station during the December 11 race riot. In refusing bail to a 17-year-old Hurstville teenager, Bidura Children's Court Magistrate Paul Mulroney said he was concerned the youth may commit further crimes. Police said the teenager climbed a pole and stole a flag from the Brighton-le-Sands RSL club on December 11. They allege the flag was sprayed with accelerant and set alight. The youth and...

Islamists have openly declared their hatred of our way of life – in the most violent way possible.In Australia, Norway and Sweden there is a distinct race-based crime in which Islamic men are raping Western women for ethnic reasons. We know this because the rapists have openly declared their sectarian motivations. A number of teenaged Australian girls were subjected to hours of sexual degradation during a spate of gang rapes in Sydney that occurred between 1998 and 2002. And the perpetrators of these assaults framed the rationale for their actions in explicitly ethnic terms. The young victims were informed that...

For too long our politicians and police have turned their backs on a festering problem writes Miranda Devine. FORGET Clover Moore as the Grinch of Sydney's Christmas. The "Lions of Lebanon" with their Glock pistols and Molotov cocktails have put her to shame this holy season. While the NSW police lock down entire beachfront suburbs, instruct stores to stop selling baseball bats, and apply the full force of the law to pasty-faced nerds with a taste for Nazi literature, they continue to cower from the real hardmen, the Lebanese-Australian criminal gangs of Sydney's south-west who have ruled the roost in...

Cronulla is quiet again; those intent on exploiting it are not OBSESSIVE Howard-haters and publicity-hungry expats have been keen to exploit the Cronulla unrest for their own ends. The lawbreaking in Sydney's south, they have informed us and the world, is a manifestation of the deeply embedded racism in the Australian psyche. This racism, historically enshrined in the White Australia policy, has been reinvigorated by John Howard as part of his campaign to conscript blue-collar voters to the Liberal cause. As a result, racism is on the upswing, while support for multicultural tolerance is waning. In the aftermath of Hansonism...

SYDNEY's racial violence has not scared off American tourists from visiting Australia over the Christmas holiday period, the head of a major US tourism company said today. Britain, Canada and Indonesia have cautioned their residents to be alert if in Sydney, particularly around some beach areas where the recent violence erupted. Ian Swain, the founder of Philadelphia-based Swain Tours, has about 800 Americans booked to travel to Australia over the next few weeks and not one has cancelled citing fears about the problems that have erupted on Sydney's southern beaches. "Not one," the Australian-born opertor who has specialised in offering...

At the behest of Muslim bigots and multiculturalist fanatics the Bracks Government suspended free speech in Victoria by imposing a blasphemy law dressed up as an anti-vilification law. This has given Islamo-fascists a freehand to attack critics of Islam. In a ruthless attempt to intimidate critics Muslim fanatics reported two pastors to Diane Sisely, the Equal Opportunity Commission boss, for criticising the Koran. This enemy of free speech and her fellow Stalinoids on the commission then launched proceedings against the pastors for exercising their fundamental and inalienable right to free speech. So far these pastors have had to pony up...

AUSTRALIAN are not inherently racist, says Sydney's Catholic Archbishop George Pell. The cardinal says its an encouraging sign that a newspoll has found three out of four Australians disagree with the Prime Minister John Howard's claim there is not (not) racism in Australia because a racist society would never acknowledge being racist. "A deeply racist society would not admit to being racist," Cardinal Pell told an ethnic media forum in Sydney today. "A deeply racist society would never even allow the question to be asked and the answer to be published." The recent race riot at Cronulla, in Sydney, and...

It's the same wretched thing down under There is no doubt that Australia’s worsening civil disorder, in which Muslims and indigenous Aussies have been fighting pitched battles now for days, has been caused in part by white racists. However, the widespread spin that has been placed on this disorder, that it has been caused by white racists and that what it reveals is that, under its veneer of multiculturalism, Australia is a fundamentally racist society positively heaving with people with despicable views who have been itching to have a pop at blameless Lebanese Muslims, is very wide of the mark....

Christmas occurs in the middle of Australia's hot summer and is therefore spent by many Australians at the beach. Last weekend, however, the famous beaches near Sydney were sparsely attended. Only local citizens were allowed to pass checkpoints regulating access to the sea. Even then police were checking motor vehicles for weapons and alcohol. These extraordinary precautions were the official response to the beach riots of the previous weekend in which hundreds of people had been involved. In their way they are a very typical response of modern liberal policing -- to inconvenience the general public instead of cracking down...

20/12/2005 - 14:38:47 Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett returned to her native Australia on Sunday to appeal for calm following the recent race riots in Sydney. Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett returned to her native Australia on Sunday to appeal for calm following the recent race riots in Sydney. Lebanese-Australians have been clashing with white-Australians on the beaches of the New South Wales city, leading to a heavy police presence in the suburbs over the past two weeks. Speaking at Sydney's Coogee Beach on Sunday, The Aviator beauty spoke out against the riots and urged unity amongst the divided communities. Blanchett said: "It's actually...

GOVERNMENTS around the world have declared Sydney's southern beaches no-go zones. England, Canada and Indonesia have warned their citizens to stay clear of Cronulla. Their travel alerts are similar to those normally reserved for international flash points such as Belfast and the West Bank. Both the UK and Canada have warned that random outbreaks of violence, riots and demonstrations could take place in Sydney at any time following the outbreaks that began in Cronulla nine days ago. Indonesia, which has long been critical of Australian travel alerts for Bali, warns its citizens should remain indoors unless completely necessary. "Riots and...

SYDNEY (AFP) - Hundreds of police will patrol Sydney's beaches for most of Australia's summer in a "fight for order and control" after some of the worst racial violence here in decades, state premier Morris Iemma said. The head of New South Wales state said that the heavy police presence, which was ramped up this weekend to include 2,000 patrolling officers, would last as long as necessary. "This is a fight for order and control of our streets," Iemma told ABC radio. "There are hooligans out there who believe they have the right to determine who goes to beaches and...

THE mother of a Melbourne youth allegedly found on a Sydney bus with two bottles of petrol said she was worried he "likes Islam too much". Amir Ali Osmanagic's distraught mother said yesterday she feared he would get mixed up with trouble-makers when he moved to Sydney three weeks ago. "He's a very good person, but he like too much Islam," Envera Osmanagic said. "He likes Islam, maybe he protects Islam, something like that. "He's young, he does not know what is happening." Amir Ali Osmanagic, 18, and Parham Esmailpour, 19, of Sydney, gave police different excuses for carrying the...

What's the deal with these riots in Sydney? You switch on the television and there's scenes of urban conflagration and you think, "Hang on, I saw this story last month." But no. They were French riots. These are Australian riots. Entirely different. The French riots were perpetrated by - what's the word? - "youths". The Australian riots were perpetrated by "white youths". Same age cohort, but adjectivally enhanced. And, being "white youths", they thus offered "a chilling glimpse into the darker corners of Australian society", as Nick Squires put it last week, "with thousands of white youths rampaging through a...

RETURN to your beaches, New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma urged residents of southern Sydney and other NSW cities today. After asking people in NSW to stay away from some of the state's best known beaches at the weekend in case of violence, Mr Iemma today declared beaches safe and called on beachgoers to return to the sand. Mr Iemma said today police now believed the threat of unrest at beaches in southern Sydney, Wollongong and Newcastle had passed. "The intelligence and the security assessments are such that people are encouraged to return to normal business," he told reporters. "This...

Tell gangs you're an Aussie: Iemma By Jonathan Porter 15-12-2005 From: The Australian   NSW Premier Morris Iemma has called on people not to renounce their Australian identity in the face of intimidation by Lebanese gangs - even if it means being bashed. His advice came after victims of rioting in Sydney told how they were asked if they were Australian before being attacked by large groups of Middle Eastern men. Mr Iemma said that if approached, people should say: "I'm Australian and this is Australia and this is a country that is here to be shared by all. "(We...

We have a problem with law and order, not race hate AMONG the 200 or so nations of the world, Australia is among the most diverse, tolerant, egalitarian and prosperous. To say, as some suggest, that we are unable to accommodate immigrants ignores the reality that about 20 per cent of us come from families where English is not the native language and who have been here for only one or two generations. And as for being insular, last year about 25 per cent of the population were born overseas, the highest proportion for a century. Australia is not a...

IF there is one positive thing to come out of the violence in Cronulla, it will be a long hard look at how schoolchildren are educated about Australian culture and what they are taught about their responsibilities as members of a civil society. Judged by the age of many of those involved in abusing women, the mob violence at Cronulla beach and the subsequent destruction of personal property, many would have been of school age during the 1980s and '90s. While Al Grassby and Gough Whitlam sowed the seeds, this was a time when governments under the leadership of Malcolm...

Chilling call to arms via SMS December 19, 2005TEXT messages on seized mobile phones have revealed calls for Arabs to unite in a war against "rednecks" and to "take Sydney from Cronulla to The Rocks".Police yesterday used new powers to confiscate mobile phones, to check for SMS messages calling for violence. Police Commissioner Ken Moroney said his officers were yesterday specially instructed to target mobile phones, after text messages were used to urge race violence at Cronulla. One officer was photographed scrolling through the contents of at least six phones. Five men of Middle Eastern descent were yesterday arrested in...

SYDNEY is suddenly a city of police and rumours. Only the other day we were basking in fresh accolades for a city rated among the most liveable in the world. And now the world is watching with us these unimaginable scenes of roadblocks, searches, arrests and massed police patrolling half-deserted beaches. Time and the courts will decide how effective the police were this weekend. For now, these past few days will be remembered as the first time in the history of this city that a trip to the beach meant passing a cordon of fully armed police. Rumours were everywhere...

LAST Sunday on Cronulla Beach, a suburb of Sydney, thousands of drunken white youths attacked anyone they believed was of Arab descent. Inspired by reports that Lebanese-Australians had assaulted two white lifeguards, text messages calling for a Lebanese "bashing day" appeared on thousands of cellphones. Some of Sunday's assailants wore T-shirts that proclaimed, "We grew here; you flew here," or, "Ethnic cleansing unit." For many, the Cronulla Beach incident did not come as a surprise. Rather, it was the bubbling up of an undercurrent that is increasingly evident in Australian life.

James Morrow: Self-loathing is the newest hate crime December 19, 2005 TO say that the Australian Left has a conflicted relationship with Australia is like saying that a heartburn sufferer has a conflicted relationship with spicy Thai curry: they may claim to love it, but put the two together and all you'll get is a lot of whingeing and hot air. This tense relationship -- which is akin to teenagers who enjoy all the comforts of living at home while complaining that mum and dad are so tragically unhip -- is always simmering in the background of Australia's cultural life....

Riots 'expose loopholes' in WA race laws. 18/12/2005.

THE Sydney suburb of Brighton-le-Sands has been locked down to all but residents after a carload of men were found carrying a 25-litre drum of petrol, police scanners and portable radios. Five men have been arrested over the haul, which also included equipment to make molotov cocktails as well as commando-style utility belts, Kevlar helmets and jerry cans. The suburb, on Botany Bay in Sydney's south, is the first to have a total lockdown imposed on it under new police powers passed at an emergency sitting of parliament. Other suburbs hit by violence flowing from last Sunday's race riot at...

Fighting on the beaches exposes ugly side of life By Richard Guilliatt With police warning Australians to stay away from the seafronts and the city bracing itself for another weekend of violence, our correspondent explains the pressures behind the cultural hostility AS A mob of 5,000 “proud Aussies” fought “wogs and Lebs” at Cronulla Beach in Sydney on Sunday, one of their ringleaders — Glen Steele, a lifelong resident and former rugby player — angrily explained why Lebanese immigrants have become unwelcome on this strip of suburban surf beach. Pointing to the old saltwater pool at the end of the...

ELIZABETH JACKSON: Three Sydney teenagers have been arrested in relation to the riots on the city's southern beaches last weekend. All three will appear in court later today. Several beaches in Sydney today have been declared no-go areas, and thousands of police are ready to use tough new powers to try to prevent a repeat of last Sunday's riots. Wet weather today in Sydney might help ease the tensions. Meanwhile, the Federal Opposition says recent events in Sydney have shown the need for laws that would make it a crime to threaten particular racial or religious groups. It's already an...

A gang rape trial that culminated in one of the longest prison sentences in Australian history has triggered accusations of racism and inflamed ethnic tensions in Sydney's volatile outlying suburbs. The gang leader, known only as X, was jailed for 55 years for his part in the rapes, which were carried out by 14 youths, all of Lebanese Muslim origin. The group terrorised western Sydney in August 2000, attacking seven women during a three-week spree that was planned and co-ordinated by mobile phone. The men's ethnic background has been highlighted by police and politicians, who insist that they specifically targeted...

THE children of Lebanese migrants are under pressure to marry within their own ethnicity to keep a strong community and maintain a sense of solidarity. Monash University Centre for Population and Urban Research director Bob Birrell said second-generation Lebanese had markedly lower rates of "out-marriage" compared with Europeans and Asians, hindering their social mobility and integration. He said there was cultural pressure to keep a strong community, with high residential concentration and separate schools and mosques for people from different ethnic backgrounds. "Ethnically, they don't want to see their community break down. They want to maintain their solidarity," he said....

Years of rejection erupted in open rebellion The violent culture of Gangsta rap has found a natural home on the streets of Sydney, write Andrew Stevenson and Edmund Tadros. It's a long way from Brooklyn to the streets of Belmore, Punchbowl and Lakemba, but Tupac Shakur would find much to make him welcome. His name is sprayed on walls and fences and scratched on toilet doors. When concrete is poured, the shorthand follows: "2pac 4ever." That a dead singer finds eternal life in the adulation of fans is a curious phenomenon. Elvis is that classic cultural oddity. But Love Me...

Race riot fears turn Bondi into no-go zone By Nick Squires In Sydney (Filed: 17/12/2005) Australian police warned visitors to stay away from Bondi and other famous beaches in Sydney this weekend amid fears of another flare-up of race violence between gangs of white and Middle Eastern youths. The warning, unprecedented in a country in which the beach forms a central part of the national psyche, extended to two other cities in New South Wales. A young surfer carries her board outside a Sydney surf club Bondi was declared a virtual no-go zone for the weekend, along with other popular...

Think the debate over Tookie Williams ended with his execution? Guess again. Issuing a public challenge, The Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable’s Earl Ofari Hutchinson and Jasmyne Cannick have accused KFI's John and Ken of racism. They insist proof is found in the pair's supposed reluctance to insist a white man on death row be quickly put to death: The Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable’s Earl Ofari Hutchinson and Jasmyne Cannick have issued a public challenge to controversial radio hosts John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou of the John and Ken Show of AM 640 KFI (Los Angeles) to prove that...

Ghetto youth a multiculturalist legacy By Keith Windschuttle December 16, 2005 IT was inevitable, given the prevailing mind-set within government and the media, that Sydney's beachside violence this week would be called race riots. The New South Wales Premier, his ministers and many newspaper headlines all used the term. However, a more ungainly but nonetheless more accurate description would have been multicultural riots. For the doctrine of multiculturalism is really to blame. The tensions that exploded this week were defined into existence by multiculturalist policies and ideas. It wasn't the youths at Cronulla beach who decided that all Lebanese constitute...

Fury over radio host's racism AAP 17dec05 A TALKBACK radio host has been forced to apologise for on-air claims that some Lebanese Australians were "inbred". Macquarie Radio station 2GB's late-night announcer in Sydney, Brian Wilshire, told his audience that many Lebanese "have parents who are first cousins whose parents were first cousins. The result of this is inbreeding – the result of which is uneducationable (sic) people . . . and very low IQ". Wilshire's comments were greeted by outrage in Sydney. "It reveals an uneducated comment on his part – they are disgraceful comments," NSW Premier Morris Iemma said....

When a white guy does it, it's fascism," says French-Jewish philosopher, Alain Finkielkraut. His observation vis-a-vis the riots in France has been validated by the coverage of the "race riots" in Australia. These began in Cronulla, south of Sidney, and soon spread to other beach suburbs, where Anglo-Aussies descended on "people...

POLICE yesterday declared six popular beaches unsafe for public use this weekend after intelligence revealed armed rioters were planning attacks. In an unprecedented move, NSW Police Commissioner Ken Moroney urged people to stay away from Cronulla, Maroubra and Bondi beaches in Sydney, Terrigal on the Central Coast, Nobbys Beach in Newcastle and beaches in Wollongong. The lockdown decision was made after police received "credible threats" the areas would become race-riot zones and that some groups had been stockpiling guns and other lethal weapons for use this weekend. "These are extraordinary measures for extraordinary times," Mr Moroney said. The warnings coincided...

FOUR attacks on churches in 24 hours remind us it's foolish to dismiss the riots in Sydney as just proof of white Australian racism. Yes, the scuffles at Cronulla on Sunday were brutal and cowardly. But they seemed in part driven not just by beer, but exasperation at the failure of police to deal with Lebanese gangs who'd harassed beachgoers for years. And only a few people were hurt and none seriously. Yet this was, to the usual suspects, confirmation of "our" racism – of the "racial exclusion" that La Trobe University's Professor Marilyn Lake yesterday said was "a deep...

Race riots shame Australia By: Khalid A-H Ansari December 14, 2005 A man threatens police at Cronulla Beach in Sydney AP Photo Sydney: What started as a seemingly innocuous face-off between two innocent Lebanese youths and a group of white right-wing Australians on a suburban Sydney beachfront last Sunday has reached a flashpoint, which has shaken the very foundations of Australia’s multicultural society. The incident sparked off a retaliatory rampage by gangs of incensed Middle Easterners, brandishing handguns and rifles on a third night of violence and mob rule in Cronulla, Maroubra and Brighton le Sands that saw women molested,...

LEBANESE youths and ethnic "lions" from Melbourne are preparing to join Sydney's race riots, with busloads of troublemakers rumoured to be heading north. Expectations among the young Lebanese community in western Sydney that further trouble will develop over the weekend comes despite calls from their religious leaders, police and politicians for both sides to calm down. One 22-year-old ethnic Lebanese man yesterday told The Australian he and his friends were ready for a turf war. "The boys reckon it'll be like a scene out of Braveheart," he said. Sources within the Lebanese community said three busloads of young men from...

Four days after he set foot in Australia, the rape spree began. And during his sexual assault trial in a New South Wales courtroom, the Pakistani man began to berate one of his tearful 14-year-old victims because she had the temerity to shake her head at his testimony. But she had every reason to express her disgust. After taking an oath on the Qur’an, the man – known only as MSK – told the court he had committed four attacks on girls as young as 13 because they had no right to say “no.” They were not covering their face...
