UK: Huddersfield councillors ignore concerns of residents, allows Mosque to replace historic sports club.

August 30th, 2008

CONTROVERSIAL plans to turn an historic sports club site into a mosque have been given the green light by councillors.

Hundreds of people objected to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association’s plan to transform The Pavilion at Fartown into a mosque and community centre.

But yesterday, members of Huddersfield’s planning sub-committee granted permission, agreeing that the association’s plans would breathe new life into the site off Spaines Road and be of huge benefit to the community.

Munir Ahmed, president of the Huddersfield branch of the AMA, told the Examiner that he was thrilled with the decision.

He said: “We are delighted, particularly as it was a unanimous decision by the council and they understood exactly what we aim to achieve with the site.

“It will be a great asset, not only for our own members, but also for the wider community and we’re looking forward to creating something that will be so beneficial.

“Our plan is to restore The Pavilion to how it was and actively engage the community. Our aim is to also bring back the sports that were once enjoyed, including cricket.

“We will be starting work on it right away and we’ll be having a big celebration with the community when it’s up and running.”

A perfect example of councillors ignoring the objections of the residents who elected them.  In Australia many old Masonic halls have been turned into prayer halls, one of the ways to stop this creeping Islamisation is run for council or support somebody who is and will block such developments.  Remember to vote 1 Darrin Hodges on September 13!

Muslim dominated U.K council imposes Shari’a law.

August 29th, 2008

In a dramatic example of how Britain is being steadily colonised by Islamic culture, the Muslim-controlled Tower Hamlets council in London has issued instructions for all council meetings during the Ramadan month to be kept to a minimum and for all non-Muslim councillors to observe the Ramadan Fast.

New council leader Lutfur Rahman, who was born in Pakistan, and his deputy, Siraj Islam (pictured), sent an email to all councillors this week outlining arrangements for Town Hall committee meetings next month, which marks the Muslim fasting period of Ramadan.

The email requests that meetings be kept to a minimum to accommodate fasting councillors, and asks all other councillors to resist eating until the breaking of the fast at sunset.

It is the first time such a request has been made and it comes as Ramadan falls earlier this year during the longer daylight hours.

Council bosses have ordered that the Town Hall’s business agenda should also be reduced, with only seven scheduled committee meetings for the entire month, to deal with the Ramadan restrictions.

Officers have also been barred from arranging any more meetings and asked to find ways of dropping some of the seven that have already been scheduled.

Those going ahead generally start at about 6.30pm, so with sunset due to fall just after 7.30pm at the beginning of September and around 6.30pm by the end of Ramadan, the breaking of the fast, known as Iftar, will take place during meetings.

At those points, there will be 45 minute adjournments to allow members to eat and pray, council leaders have ordered.

Normally, tea, coffee and sandwiches are set aside for councillors to nibble at during evening meetings. But during Ramadan, these will be reduced and complemented by Iftar food packs containing chicken, lamb and vegetarian snacks.

However, in his email the council’s bizarrely-named “head of democratic services”, John Williams, said: “It is requested that members do not partake of any refreshments until after the Iftar refreshments are served.”

This type of multicultural madness could one day occur in Sutherland Shire council.  That is why it’s important to vote for people who are aware of the dangers of Islamisation and multiculturalism. Remember to vote 1 Darrin Hodges on September 13 if you don’t want to be mooning Allah in the future.

Labor threatens MP’s.

August 27th, 2008

MICHAEL COSTA has been threatening Labor MPs that their electorates will be starved of funding unless they support the Iemma Government’s bid to privatise the power industry.

As the Government desperately tries to convince rebel MPs to back the legislation when it is introduced tomorrow, the Treasurer issued the ultimatum to a recent meeting of 100 Labor branch delegates at the Cessnock Rugby League Supporters Club in the Hunter, the former cabinet minister and Cessnock MP, Kerry Hickey, said last night.

“His words to us were: ‘There would be no money for any person who opposed the sale’,” Mr Hickey said. “I have 100 delegates who will vouch for me. Mate, this is too good to make up.”

One of the delegates, the Cessnock City Councillor Catherine Parsons, confirmed Mr Hickey’s account and said that after Mr Costa’s comment, she leaned over to her husband, a local ALP stalwart, and said: “Whoa, that sounds like a threat.”

The Treasurer overheard her and replied: “No, it’s a promise.”

This demonstrates the utter contempt Labor has for the electorate, the democratic process and how Labor members have to toe the party line.  There is a real risk that Labor will control the shire council, do you want cogs of the Labor party political machine to determine what happens in the shire? If not, vote 1 Darrin Hodges on September 13 - don’t let Labor crontrol council!

Pollution reduction not ‘cost free’

August 26th, 2008

This post has no relation in any way, shape or form to Climate Change Extremist Jonathan Doig’s previous comments:

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has warned business his government’s commitment to tackling climate change will come at a cost.

Mr Rudd was responding to the Business Council of Australia’s (BCA) finding that emissions trading would force a third of Australian businesses to go under unless the scheme was fundamentally redesigned.

The BCA released modelling last week showing emissions trading would be fatal to many companies, and slash the profits of others.

One third of Australia productive capacity destroyed. I hope we have some nice tasting dirt, cause it looks like thats all we’ll be eating. As I keep saying, the whole global warming fraud is about capping CO2 production. When you say you want to cap CO2 production what you are really saying is that you want to put a cap on growth. This global warming hysteria is little more than a thinly disguised attack by Marxists against the very core of capitalism: growth.
