Good on them nova

I opened your thread because that slogan is so familiar to me, it's the same slogan used by the March in March organization.

I posted this about Muslims protesting againts ISIS in another thread yesterday but it got lost in another commotion there

Who keeps saying the community is quiet?

This week and last week they have come out in numbers and denounced isil but there's many who are silent and secretly support isil otherwise our young wouldn't be going over there to fight with isil

It's ggod to see a social media campaign but numbers marching in the streets helps a lot to assuage the fears of the wider community, but the isis supporters have large numbers as we saw in that protest in Lakemba after the Hammerhead raid.

We shoukld have seen the community rise up to support the operation instead we see only the public protest.

Good on the social media protest though.

It's time the news reporters started calling ISIL extremists or extremists muslims. News readers are referring to the videos from ISIL calling on muslims to kill westerners. Muslims are not all murderers and this group is killing more muslims than others. It would help if they report that the extremist group ISIL is calling on their followers to kill people rather than calling on muslims to kill people.

this from a related story in your link -

worth posting:

The father of an Australian Islamic State (IS) fighter has told parents at a family picnic day to take their children's passports if they think their offspring plan on joining extremists.

Thousands of people attended the community barbecue, Muslims Love Australia, in Lakemba in Sydney's south-west on Sunday.

The event was sponsored by Mamdouh Elomar, the father of Mohamed Elomar, who is wanted by Australia police after photos of him brandishing the severed heads of Syrian soldiers were posted on social media.

"I don't see my son, I just see him on the news," Mr Elomar said.

"I have no connection with him."

He said he wanted his son to stop what he was doing.

"Any parents of Muslim people that think that their kids, they try to think to go to overseas to fight up there, just stop them," he said.

"Call the police to stop them, take their passports."

He said the actions of the IS group had tarnished the Muslim faith.

"This is not the Islamic way. The way they take journalists and cut their heads, this is nonsense," he said.

"We don't believe in this and we don't support this."

Yes, it is. It must be terrifying for parents to see offspring get caught up in extremist groups.

At last! A peaceful thread that isn't just breeding more hate and distrust.

This makes me happy.

Peaceful muslims do not receive the publicity that the extremists do, Creating fear and hatred is what the media focus on to increase their readership and ratings - same with certain politicians.

yes social media is a very powerful tool

and it is great to see this initiative. the message

is out there and it will only grow bigger.

i do wish though that the founder of

Islamic Friendship Association of Australia

would get more involved using his position:

i think they have -

lately i have been mainly reading or hearing references to

"terror group isil" or "islamic extremist group"

you'd hope by now most thinking people understand what

isil is.

Re: Not in my name

***super_nova*** — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 02:23:50 GMT

Absolutely, and we need to remember that there are 2 billions of Muslims in the world, while there is about 30 000 of ISIL members, and ISIL pose much more danger to other Muslims, and to other people living Middle East than to us.

Muslim people living in Australia are frightened for their relatives still over there, and they are also feeling under attack from other Australians. I have noticed nobody is talking here about the threats to Muslims by ADL ?.

it was on the news and someone

posted that hate note from them

on the other thread -

that note was shown on the news as well.

wasnt it the ADL leader who got shot at his

greystanes house? i think there was a thread

about that as well here.
