Nah, I don't think he mixed it up...
I read the same headline off ninemsn....
Its the press that are putting up headlines that make you want to read further!
I see these bumper stickers quite often: "Australian Way Of Life - Fit in or F Off" (AWOL FIFO). They usually come combined with the Southern Cross constellation on the rear window and a UNIT sticker. Usually on jacked-up utes (in which case there is typically a "Save Wedge" sticker too). Lots of them in our neighbourhood. In fact, I think we stick out a bit with our sticker-less and relatively new Asian sedans - perhaps it's time to "upgrade" our wheels in order to "assimilate better into the local society".

Seems god was a c**t too
The God of the Bible also allows slavery, including selling your own daughter as a sex slave (Exodus 21:1-11), child abuse (Judges 11:29-40 and Isaiah 13:16), and bashing babies against rocks (Hosea 13:16 & Psalms 137:9).
Makes the Koran look like the beano
As I understand it, the argument he put forward was that his prospects of getting a fair trial in Australia were slim, on the basis of his religion.
The commentary in this thread proves his point was valid.
The question about judge only trial is not about whether he was right or wrong to bash his wife under islamic law. It was about his prospect of receiving a fair trial - something about which Australian values are very clear.
I would disappointed to think we were losing this particular set of values
Of course the potential precedent is the scary thing - but what does it say about current Australian values that he was ever able to successfully argue this point initially?
Proud to live in Aus regardless of what any muslim bashing redneck thinks. Australia's got good people, my neighbours and wider community are wonderful unfortunate few are rude and stereotype us. I pay tax, give to charity, im praised in the community (im a President of a Charitable organisation) however not many people would realise what my religion is cause i sorta look euro.
In regards to 'women bashing' doesnt happen in Islam. Probably in some secs but never in my family or wider islamic community.
Islamic culture built around the man protecting his wife and family, cause thats what he is.. a man. At the end of the day your wifes another mans daughter and you need to show her respect and protect her from sleezes.
If your chick wants to run wild with her clothes off honestly you let her. But shes definitely not your type if your so religious. Bashing your sister in law isnt going to make her more religious :s bashing any girl is a discusting act and i have no tolerance for that kind of ****. Thats why i support White Ribbon Day. These people (like this women basher) who try to use their religion as a way of escaping punishment is sad.
In Islam the women choose whether or not they want to be covered or not. My sister decided to wear a scarf, but my mum and other sisters dont. In christianity you can choose to be a nun. The same situation, covering yourself is seen as an act of empowerment and is in fact formal attire in muslim countries, the women are not opressed :s or forced as some western media outlets would want you to believe.
This man seems lost and is blaming his wifes sister for his own insecurity. There is no justification for beating your women (or your sister in law or any women) in Islam. Doggie i genuinely hope justice is served!
BTW!!!! Australia and its laws are extremly lenient! This is FREEDOM! you can do what ever you want! (offcourse within the boundaries of law) but what im saying is, you can go clubbing all night long, or you could sit in a temple praying to God all night long. Your free to choose! Whether your drinking all night or praying all night, your still Australian. What you do in your own time is your 'behaviour' it does not determine where you 'belong'. Quiet frankly Australia gives me the opportunity to live free but I choose to live life on principals of giving charity, paying my taxes, showing respect to my fellow Australian and the Australian way, attending Anzac day ceremonies, not drinking alcohol, spoiling my fiance, praying to God, eating healthy, training in the gym etc
In my religion I believe most Australians will be rewarded by God because of how good they are, some a million times better then those who call themselves 'muslim'. I hope God rewards me for being a proud muslim Australian and for writing this to stop hate. I dont blame people who hate actually (cant blame them in todays world) but i would ask that you stop learning about Islam from news.com.au and instead learn from a muslim..

Well said mate....
Glad to see someone put up an opinion who is obviously from a position that is educated and informed on the cultural beliefs and differences of both cultures.
The overwhelming majority of people that call themselves Muslims are nice people. The overwhelming majority of people that call themselves Lefties, Liberals, Bogans, Punks, Sceptics, Fishermen, Christians, Communists, Atheists ...even Kiteboarders, are nice people. When you get to know them.
When you cherry-pick a bad example from a collective, and then label all or most of that collective the same, you are fear-mongering. And if you think about it is the most cowardly thing a person can do. That is: being scared of something that is not at all scary, and inciting others to be scared of it too.
I partly belive some of the propaganda here but to me when women are surpressed and mutulated around their parts in the name of religion, then it has no respect from me. read to be a slave for the pleasure of the male.
