No comment.

I only see one culture being represented or given condideration there.

Schroeder · 01-28-18, 09:21 AM

But Burkini and Shisha are cool I guess....

Dowly · 01-28-18, 10:00 AM

That's not an official sign, someone just put it up for whatever reason.

I sure hope so but in today's world everything is possible.

A source for that picture would have been nice.

Could be an action from the "Rise up Australia" 'Catch the Fire ministry' to discredit muslims, recently the hate is strong everywhere with the right wingers.
On the other hand, you never know. Being dumb is not reserved for either side.

I've seen it mentioned on two sites that it was taken at Black Rock Beach. If that's the case, I would imagine the sign to say "Bayside City Council" instead of "City of Greater Melbourne" since it is the local council that would make decisions like this (I assume).

Also, it is simply "Islamic Council of Victoria", there's no "Supreme" at the front.

The source I found this in was Christian Ortner's blog, a usually decent Austrian libertarian who is critical of the Zeitgeist, but does not intentionally, knowingly post bollocks and cheap tricks. If it is a fake, then he is unaware of it as well, I am certain.

Since comparable demands are being made everyday nowadays, and new Islam-coddling realities get created on the ground as a matter of fact, I do not find it unrealistic at all that such "projects" and according streets signs are real. In many european countries. Or, like here, in Australia.

The "Supreme Islamic Council" mentioned on the sign at the bottom I found to exist for real, btw. Amongst other agendas, it propagates and certifies halal food. Its not a small player or just a gang of nutheads.

Good trick, Dowly - putting somebody on your ignore list but nevertheless reading his mind by telepathic means: I'm impressed.

If I can use Startpage or (Google) and find several entries on Supreme Islamic Councils in a variety of countries apparently, and amongst them: Australia, then you can easily do that, too. Frees you from the unconvience of having to read either my writing, or my mind.

Since there are so many, I really cannot say if and which of them may or may not be related to each other.

Dowly · 01-29-18, 09:36 AM

Unfortunately, the ignore list only shields me from your verbal vomit, if I am logged in, which I am not when reading the forums.

As for your confusion about the Supreme Islamic Council, may I suggest that you go and read what the sign says; either by mistake or intentionally you have excluded the latter part "of Victoria". As has been pointed out, no such organization exists.

No need to go to bat for the big bird here. He got exactly what he wanted: Use this forum for hate speech and fake news again. In German there's an expression to describe exactly what he does: Faschistoide Wortergreifungsstrategie. Again and again and again. Apparently this bothers hardly anyone here. What a shame.

I'm not going to bat for anyone. In fact, Skybird and I have had our own differences. That said, we do have very specific rules about insulting and/or attacking other members. If you have a serious complaint, then report the post in question, but be prepared to defend your complaint with specifics. One thing we do not do here is make personal attacks in public. That is what the post I quoted did, and what I gave is a gentle reminder. If this escalates appropriate measures will be taken.

Cybermat47 · 01-29-18, 10:14 PM

Yeah, if this was real, I would have heard about it already.

If something like that happened in Australia... well, I don't know what would happen, because that would never happen here.
