Brisbane Islamic College Bans Australian National Anthem

If you want to know how Muslims feel about their "citizenship" in non-Muslim lands, here's an excellent example.

Muslims call themselves the Ummah, which means the people of Islam. They divide the world into two, calling one Dar al-Islam (the world of Islam) and the other Dar al-Harb (the world of war).

Any nation which is not governed by Islamic law is considered to be the House of War.

Any Muslim who lives in a non-Muslim nation is, according to Islamic law, not bound to abide by the laws of the nation, but instead is bound to work to overthrow the existing order in favor of Islam.

Now, let us remember that Islamic law, called Sharia, stipulates that

1) gays and apostates be put to death.

2) Women are second-class citizens at best, and slaves (in that they have no choice in whom to marry, whether to go to school, whether to drive, how to dress, or whom to associate with) at worst.

3) non-Muslims are second-class citizens subject to humiliation and intimation, and forced to pay a Jizya tax of 20% beyond the taxes of Muslim citizens.

So, when an Islamic college bans the National Anthem of the country in which it resides, understand the spirit in which such a decision is made.

They do not believe they have allegiance to Australia or any other non-Muslim country in which they might happen to reside.

From the Courier Mail:

A BRISBANE Islamic school has banned the national anthem at assemblies and sacked the teacher who asked for it to be played, The Courier-Mail can reveal.
Australian International Islamic College teacher Pravin Chand was sacked in November, four months after his proposal for students to sing Advance Australia Fair was ruled to be against the "Islamic view and ethos".
A memo sent to teachers at the Durack school in July and obtained by The Courier-Mail, also said "the singing of the anthem will be put on hold".

The revelations follow an outcry on the Gold Coast this week at a plan by the same college to open another campus at Carrara. A vocal crowd draped in Australian flags accused the college of promoting segregation, anti-Australian values and even terrorism.

Muslim leaders slammed the protests as "un-Australian" and claimed religion should not be used as a reason to protest against a school.

School chairman Imam Abdul Quddoos Azhari yesterday denied the anthem ban and said students sang it "at every function".

But Mr 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".
