Sudanese claim racist bans

By Charlotte Glennie for AM | abc.net.au/am

* Audio: Accusations of racism in Queensland city of Rockhampton (AM)

A group of young Sudanese refugees in a central Queensland city say they are being victimised because of their race.

The men say since moving to Rockhampton for work, they have been banned from a shop, a bar and a nightclub.

They say the bans were imposed as a result of trouble caused by some of their countrymen which had nothing to do with them, but the businesses involved stand by their actions and deny they have been racist.

Jacob Deleer, 23, is a Sudanese refugee who arrived in Rockhampton a couple of months ago to start a job at the meatworks.

He says he likes the work but not everyone in the city has been welcoming.

“When you go Friday night and you walk around in the street, you walk around from this club to that club or from that club to that club,” he said.

“There is a lot of people looking for trouble. Especially trying to fight me or something for no reason.”

He says his taunters also make abusive comments about his race and a few weeks ago he says he was banned from his local corner store.

“One day I walk into the shop and the shopkeeper telling me no, I can’t sell you smoke mate. You know, I can’t sell you anything in this shop and I say why?” he said.

“He said it was one of you yesterday come around here and urinated at the back of the shop and I say what do you mean, man. I don’t even know what you are talking about. I don’t even know who done that.”

Indigenous youth 28 times more likely to be arrested

From The Australian:

Figures indicate a police race bias in juvenile arrests

Stephen Lunn, Social affairs writer | September 28, 2009

POLICE across Australia are far more likely to arrest young Aborigines and see that they go to court than non-indigenous juveniles, who are considerably more likely to be let off with a warning or caution.

A groundbreaking study by the Australian Institute of Criminology to be published today paints a disturbing picture of young Aborigines’ contact with police. It may go some way to explaining why indigenous 10 to 17-year-olds are 28 times more likely to be in detention than non-indigenous youths.

Pulling together for the first time comparative national data on young people’s contact with police and the courts, the AIC report reveals the differential treatment of indigenous children doesn’t stop at the front gate of the juvenile justice system.

In at least two states, Western Australia and South Australia, young Aborigines are more likely to be convicted in children’s courts than non-indigenous juveniles for the same type of offences, the report shows. No other states provided data on conviction rates.

In Western Australia, the one state that issued statistics on sentencing, young Aborigines are more than twice as likely as non-indigenous juveniles to be given a jail term after being found guilty.

Read the rest of this entry… »

The AIC study, “Juveniles’ contact with the criminal justice system in Australia”, finds that in NSW, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory, police are more likely to arrest and refer to court young Aborigines, compared with non-indigenous youths. Information from Victoria and Tasmania was not available.

“(In NSW in 2007-08), 48 per cent of indigenous juveniles were transferred to court, compared to 21 per cent of non-indigenous juveniles,” the report says.

“And 32 per cent of non-indigenous juveniles receive warnings compared with 18 per cent of indigenous juveniles.

“(In Queensland in 2006-07), indigenous juveniles were more likely to be processed by way of arrest (39 per cent) than any other method, while non-indigenous juveniles were more likely to be dealt with via a caution (49 per cent) than any other method of processing.”

In Western Australia, where half of all juveniles arrested are Aboriginal, 71 per cent of the cautions issued in 2005 were to non-indigenous youths, 29 per cent to Aboriginal juveniles.

In South Australia in 2005 (the most recent data available), 55 per cent of juveniles of “Aboriginal appearance” were transferred to youth court compared with 41 per cent of those of “non-Aboriginal appearance”, while in the Northern Territory last year 23 per cent of non-indigenous youths received a caution compared with 16 per cent of Aborigines.

AIC director Adam Tomison said the fact that many young indigenous Australians lived in disadvantaged circumstances went a long way to explaining their increased contact with police.

“In terms of whether there is bias or racism in their treatment, I think you would need to do further studies looking at police contact in disadvantaged communities where there are kids of different backgrounds,” Dr Tomison told The Australian.

“Then we would start to tease out how much of this is an issue of Aboriginality and how much is poverty and disadvantage.

“Also geography comes into play. Authorities in states with more remote communities have fewer options to divert juveniles from detention. If there are two young offenders, and one is from a relatively good home in an urban environment with plenty of treatment options around him and the other is from a remote location where similar options are extremely limited, who is more likely to be put in detention?”

The report notes that once indigenous juveniles reach children’s courts, data is harder to come by, as indigenous status is not reported in most states. Only WA and South Australia provided figures on indigenous outcomes in court.

“(While they) cannot be considered representative of the other jurisdictions or of Australia’s children’s courts generally, they nonetheless provide an important, albeit partial, insight into the contact that indigenous juveniles have with the children’s courts,” the report says.

“(In South Australia), 29 per cent of juveniles of ‘Aboriginal appearance’ were found guilty of charges of larceny and receiving offences, 21 per cent of offences against good order and 20 per cent of criminal trespass. This compares with 18 per cent of juveniles of non-Aboriginal appearance found guilty of larceny and receiving, 17 per cent of offences against good order and 12per cent of criminal trespass.”

WA’s data from 2005 also shows discrepancies between the conviction rate for indigenous and non-indigenous youth.

“Eighty-two per cent of indigenous males were found guilty compared with 76 per cent of non-indigenous males before the children’s court,” the report says. “For female juveniles, this disparity was even more pronounced, with 79 per cent of indigenous females found guilty compared with 66 per cent of non-indigenous females.”

If convicted, jail was a more likely outcome for Aboriginal youths. “A considerably higher proportion of distinct indigenous juveniles (22 per cent) were sentenced to custodial penalties than non-indigenous juveniles (9 per cent) during 2005,” the AIC found. “Conversely, a considerably higher proportion of distinct non-indigenous juveniles (35 per cent) received a fine than distinct indigenous juveniles.”

Rule #1 : NO POOFTAS! (Australia First Expels Hanson / Green Party Supporter: AtTeMpT tO dIsRuPt AuStRaLiA fIrSt StYmIeD)

Readers,

Dr James Saleam, Führer of the Australia First Party (NSW), may be a pompous fascist dingbat, but — it must be admitted — he has mad skillz.

In December 2008, Saleam wrote that the police shooting of Melbourne teenager Tyler Cassidy was the product of a political conspiracy aimed at the ‘nationalist’ movement. ‘Corrupt Political Police ‘Intelligence’ Killed Tyler Cassidy!’ he exclaimed, announcing that “Australia First Party will demonstrate at the Coroner’s Court when an investigation is held into Tyler’s Cassidy’s death”.

More recently (February/March 2009), AF endorsed two candidates in the Queensland state election: Peregrine John Beverley Jewell in Toowoomba North and Peter Schuback in Hervey Bay.

Peregrine is a fascist stalwart, having established the ‘Confederate Action Party’ (a precursor to One Nation) in the early ’90s, as well as having involved himself in various other crackpot schemes. For his part, as well as being vice-president of the ‘Australian Long Distance Owners and Drivers Association’ and owner of ‘Mineral and Mine Movers Transport’, Peter is a perennial election candidate, having stood in 1998, 2001 (twice) and 2006. On these, as on the most recent occasion, Peter lost (as did Peregrine).

February also witnessed the departure of the ‘Australian Nationalism Information Database’ from the AF stable. Re-badged as ‘Ironbark Resources’, the site is now closely-linked to AF’s arch-rivals in the Australian Protectionist Party (the APP having split from AF in 2007).

In the meantime, Dr Jim’s 15-year-long Struggle to Clear His Name (he was convicted in 1991 of organising a shotgun assault upon the home of African National Congress representative Eddie Funde) and 5-year-long Battle to Register the Party continues unabated. Unfortunately, the number of those assisting Saleam in his Noble Quest appears to be dwindling. Below Herr Doktor explains the reasons he expelled the Brisbane branch of Australia First and the Patriotic Youth League, aka John Drew.

Australia First Expels Hanson / Green Party Supporter: Attempt To Disrupt Australia First Stymied

You either true fat or cut the flab
On the microphone hot it’s Skillz before heat
A wack nigga rhymin’, kills a raw beat
And I got both, ’bout to cook up a loaf of bread
on your motherfuckin’ head!

Australia First Party advises that it has today (March 25) expelled a Brisbane member, Mr. John Drew.

Mr. Drew, a former member of One Nation and of Australia First (when it was under other management in 2007) [Australia First Party makes like a banana…], was readmitted over members’ objections in 2007. He was nonetheless asked to carry out some secretarial and web site duties in Brisbane subject to positive performance.

In March 2009, Mr. Drew published upon the Queensland website material supportive both of the Pauline Hanson campaign and the Greens party campaign in the Queensland State election.

Mr. Drew objected to removing this material, although he finally did so. Australia First neither supports the opportunist pseudo populist Hanson, nor the open borders Greens party. Many party members protested about this material.

Simultaneously, Mr. Drew published material on an anti Australia First blogsite concerning earlier harassing allegations by our opponents that he supported the “Gay lifestyle” (sic). Despite numerous requests that he cease publishing these ambiguous statements about homosexuality and chiding this blogsite, he continued to write there. When asked whether he was homosexual, he vehemently denied it. Finally, he published a comment on March 17 concerning his attendance at a “Gay Parade” in Brisbane. This was clearly disingenuous and designed to instigate difficulties.

On March 18, Mr. Drew was suspended from membership. Today, he published upon the Brisbane Australia First website, the following comment.

“I advise that this web site will cease to be that of the Brisbane branch as of March 30 due to party member objections to some items of content and subsequent censorship by party officials. Another emerging party branch will utilise the domain name. I will be concentrating on my other interests one of which is the development of a fitness training/social group for gays. I will also active in Brisbane Sun Boys.”

We do not know whether the statements about gay interests are truthful, or whether they were designed to embarrass Australia First. We suspect only the latter.

Australia First has been under constant attack from various forces now for over three years. These attacks have included propaganda to divide the organisation. Persons have sought membership to disrupt the party. These attacks have intensified as we move towards registering the party and raising Australian nationalism up as a challenge to globalism.

This latest matter is just one more incident in a permanent struggle.

The last Queensland State committee meeting spoke of fishing out bad elements that might infiltrate Australia First. This we will continue to do. We serve the Australian people. Any element, whether it supports perverse lifestyles (sic), or whether it comes to push false agendas, will find no comfort here. On this occasion, we recognise only the agenda of another political party.

Haider: He was a superstar (at the gay bar)

Dr James Saleam, Australia First and the Patriotic Youth League

Slackbastard · 29 March 2009 · Discussion

Protect Australia First. Parties.

In the struggle to Protect Australia and to put it First, I’m growing increasingly worried.

First, s h o c k news that, as a result of his recent massive upswing in popularity, ribald political commentary and overall fitness, John Drew (aka ‘Australia First Brisbane’ / ‘Patriotic Youth League’) has been cruelly jettisoned by the Party. Or to put it another way:

Due to ever increasing interest in myself rather than Australia First’s Brisbane Branch I have bought the domain name johndrew.net and am preparing a web site that will provide a wide array of information including a very interesting photo gallery. Estimated date of going online with this personal web site is early to mid April…

I advise that this web site will cease to be that of the Brisbane branch as of March 30 due to party member objections to some items of content and subsequent censorship by party officials. Another emerging party branch will utilise the domain name. I will be concentrating on my other interests one of which is the development of a fitness training/social group for gays. I will also be active in Brisbane Sun Boys.

As keen, sun-bronzed young men across Australia know, ‘Brisbane Sun Boys’ is a “Nudist Club for Gay and Bisexual Men, over the age of 18, in Southeast Queensland who enjoy this natural life style”.

A number of questions present themselves at this point.

For example:

In this sordid drama, is Dr James Saleam (Australia First NSW) — or perhaps even Jim Perren (Australia First Queensland) — playing the role of ‘Denise LaSalle’? And is John Drew acting out the part of ‘Long Dong Silver’?

Further:

Will the runaway success enjoyed by the Patriotic Youth League — which has attracted such prominent personalities as Stuart McBeth, Luke Connors, James Newman, Lachlan Black and John Drew — be endangered by John’s leaving?

McBeth founded the PYL in Newcastle in 2002; he left in early 2005. Black was one of the founding members of the New South Wales branch of One Nation in 1997. He is now a member of the APP in the ACT.

Will Peter Watson, the Patriotic Youth from Warwick, now step forward and transform his powerful party machine the Stalinist League into a Nationalist Association 4 Yoof?

If Peter does join, will he get brain cancer from having the mobile phone pressed to his ear all day and all night, answering membership and media inquiries?

Only time will tell.

Elsewhere in Queensland, two AF supporters have bravely gone to the polls: Peregrine John Beverley Jewell and Peter Schuback. Neither gained an especially impressive number of votes, naturally, but their participation is (presumably) yet another giant stride forward for Australia.

Or is it?

On the other side of the White nationalist divide, the Australian Protectionist Party is… still protecting Australia. Like AF, the APP struggles with the political legacy of Dr James Saleam, who has recently denounced — again — the APP for its alleged support for Zionism. That is, The Jew.

The leading spokesperson for the APP is Darrin Hodges. Darrin is one of a number of former AF members, including Mark Wilson, to abandon Herr Doktor.

“i have some good colour footage (no sound) of Adolf Hitler at The Berghoff. PM me if you want a copy of the footage” Darrin once wrote on Stormfront, but since then he has displaced his fear and loathing of The Jew on to The Muslim, who, together with The Asian, The Black, The Greens, The Red and The Queer, now constitute the gravest threats to Australia.

Word on The Street is that The Jew, The Muslim, The Red and The Asian are led by

A Half-Human, Half-Lesbian, Half-Machine, Half-Asian, Half-Cyborg Future President of the Future United States of Asia!

Below is e x c l u s i v e footage of the Future President of the Future United States of Asia after being informed of the growing resistance to the politics of New World Order liberal-globalist-capitalism throughout Australia (and in the rest of the world) and shortly before boarding her EL AL Airlines flight bound for Toowoomba:

Youth! Nation! Destiny! 5,000 damaged condoms!

Following the massively disappointing news that Warwick Capper forgot to nominate in the QLD State seat of Beaudesert, a new and exciting development in the QLD election: Australia First has a second candidate!

Joining Peregrine John Beverley Jewell in Toowoomba North is Peter Schuback in Hervey Bay. As well as being vice-president of the Australian Long Distance Owners and Drivers Association and owner of ‘Mineral and Mine Movers Transport’, according to AF Fuehrer Dr James Saleam, Schuback “was heavily commitment to the National Truck Shutdown last July”.

Peter is also heavily committed to a White Australia.

Go Peter!

Read the rest of this entry… »

Incidentally, this is not Peter’s first tilt at a seat Parliament. In 2006, again contesting Hervey Bay, he gained 1,607 votes (5.82%), coming last of five candidates. In the 2001 Federal election, Peter stood as an Independent in the seat of Capricornia. For his troubles, he received 512 votes, or 0.7%. In 1998, Schuback had an earlier crack, scoring 1107 votes — outpolling the LaRouchite candidate (and thereby avoiding last place).

In 2001, Peter put forward his platform in the Rockhampton electorate as a candidate for the short-lived City Country Alliance. In a three-horse race, Peter again came last, winning a respectable 2,056 votes (8.9%). His wife, Di, also stood for election in 2001, in the seat of Fitzroy. Her campaign launch was a stroke of genius.

5,000 damaged condoms

Di Schuback is the candidate for the City Country Alliance (CCA), the party that’s campaigning on public decency and family values. Ian Townsend reports.

DI SCHUBACK: It says, ‘is this all the protection that we voters are going to receive from the two major parties?’ And I’ve stapled a condom on the front of it.

IAN TOWNSEND: Di Schuback’s the candidate for Fitzroy, a safe Labor seat. She’s running for the City Country Alliance, which is a One Nation offshoot. Mrs Schuback’s mailed the leaflets to 5,000 people in her electorate.

DI SCHUBACK: Yes, the condom’s damaged, and what it’s emphasising is what protection do we receive from a damaged product? And I basically feel that our major parties are damaged, they have no credibility…

Sadly, Di’s damaged condom stunt was only partly successful — just 1,879 voters were impressed enough by their receipt of a damaged condom to remember her name when they went to the polls.

In fact, the political climax for right-wing populism in QLD was 1998.

City Country Alliance, Rule #1: No Poofters!

The CCA was formed in December 1999 by six former ‘Pauline Hanson’s One Nation’ Queensland MPs: Bill Feldman, Ian Peterson, David Dalgleish, Peter Prenzler, Jack Paff and Harry Black. The CCA was registered on September 11, 2000 and deregistered on April 22, 2003.

The inaugural CCA conference was quite an occasion.

COMPERE: A One Nation offshoot, the City Country Alliance, held its first conference in Queensland at the weekend. The Party has six members in the State’s Parliament and claims a surge in support as voting scandals rock the Queensland Government.

Ian Townsend’s report begins with a former One Nation MP, Harry Black.

HARRY BLACK: I met my first poofter in Parliament House. And he said to me, he said, ‘You don’t know how one man can love another man.’ I said, ‘Jesus Christ.’ You know what I think that is, I think that is bloody disgusting. That’s what I think. [Applause] Blood[y] disgusting.

IAN TOWNSEND: Harry Black, the Member for Whitsunday addressing the first party conference of the City Country Alliance at Gympie north of Brisbane. Mr Black, once one of 11 One Nation MPs in Queensland Parliament, is now an Alliance member and homosexuality seems to be firmly on the agenda.

Parliamentary Leader, Bill Feldman, says the party is taking a moral stand.

BILL FELDMAN: We are tolerant and we respect other people’s point of view and we do not discriminate. And I think most Australians and most Queenslanders are very tolerant. Those, I spose, moral issues that they push at us such as homosexuality, abortion, euthanasia, if they keep pushing them at us, then we will react.

IAN TOWNSEND: The Party is made up of people disenchanted with One Nation. Mr Feldman claims One Nation voters haven’t vanished, they’re just switching to the CCA in droves. The City Country Alliance platform is family values, relaxed gun laws, community-based referenda, restricted immigration, tighter controls on foreign companies, the same policies as One Nation. The main difference is no Pauline Hanson.

Queensland is often considered a special case when it comes to elections. There’s one due within six months. Bill Feldman says up to 35 per cent of the electorate may now be undecided who to vote for. He’s hoping the CCA will pick up many of those votes and in the rest of Australia, Mr Feldman says his Party will test that at the next Federal election.

BILL FELDMAN: Well we’ve got branches establishing in other States - in NSW and Western Australia and we’ve got people actually talking to us now down in Victoria and South Australia. It all depends. And I take on board that, I think Queenslanders are rather parochial about their politics and indeed their politicians. And I think at the end of the day, if someone stands up for Queensland, I think Queenslanders vote for them.

We may be in our morality more conservative than the other States but so be it. I prefer to be in a State that, you know, accepts moral judgments.

COMPERE: Bill Feldman who is Parliamentary Leader of the City Country Alliance in Queensland.

Despite Feldman’s hopes, the CCA was wiped out at the 2001 election, losing every seat it contested.

Whether or not Peter Schuback agrees with Harry Black on the subject of bloody disgusting poofters is unknown. But while AF hates The Jew (who doesn’t?), it certainly cannot be accused of being homophobic. Well, not the leadership of AF in QLD at any rate. Thus on the one hand, there is in Toowoomba Jim Perren’s unabashed admiration for the dead fascist queer Joerg Haider. And on the other hand, there is John Drew in Brisbane. As John wrote on the Jew-hating Stormfront in 2007:

As long as men do [not] have anal sex I cannot see any problem with homosexuality. They have to pull their partners off in much the same way that women pull their male partners off. Women are often reluctant to have sex frequently whereas homosexuals are always ready for sex as they often produce lots of semen if they have a good diet and keep very fit.

Females are often quite aerobically unfit and so are unable to match the libido of sexually active men who can sustain an erection for a lengthy time.

Fancy having sex with a fat, unfit lady? Contrast this with being pulled off by a very fit and athletic male who keeps himself in absolutely wonderful physical condition…

The question is: can Peter Schuback pull it off for Australia First in Hervey Bay?

With the help of John Drew, Jim Perren and James Saleam, I’d like to think that anything is possible.

ONE of two men involved in the arson of Candlestick Park was back in jail yesterday for breaching his parole. Paul Nicholson, who is now 20, was arrested for drink driving (0.185%) and driving while disqualified on Wood Street on Melbourne Cup night.

He was a prisoner on parole at the time and, under parole conditions, he must go to jail for 28 days while a report is made to determine if his parole should be permanently or partly revoked.

Your Excellency,

As you will be aware the British police and Crown Prosecution   Service have executed a Mannheim-originating warrant on an   Australian national, the historian Dr. Fredrick Töben, who was   arrested onboard an aeroplane at Heathrow while simply in transit   from the USA to Dubai.
Even as he had no intention of entering Britain, he was seized off   the aeroplane and brought into this country where his alleged crimes do not even constitute an offence.

For the first time, therefore, the European Arrest Warrant is being used in a manner that we in Britain were assured would not be applied in Britain, which has declined to adopt a “Holocaust denial” law, because it is contrary to British traditions of freedom of enquiry and expression.

The situation is summed up in today’s Times ;

under the headline:
“Extradition bid raises fears of ‘thought crime’ offences”.

I trust that the High Commission will provide consular assistance to Dr. Töben and will monitor this disturbing and unprecedented development so as to keep our fellow Australians informed of what   they can expect from the UK legal system when travelling or in   transit.

Yours truly

Sports ground to continue using racist term

From the Courier Mail:

‘Racist’ term to stay part of ground
By Steve Gray and David Barbeley
September 25, 2008

A SPORTS ground in Queensland’s southeast will continue to use a racist term to honour the city’s first international rugby league player.

Toowoomba Sports Ground Trust chairman John McDonald said that while the grandstand bearing his name was to be demolished in coming days as part of an upgrade, E.S. “Nigger” Brown would continue to be honoured with that nickname.

Mr McDonald said the “N” word would likely be retained on a statue of Brown or a plaque recognising his deeds.

Read the rest of this entry… »

Edward Stanley Brown, who also served as a Toowoomba councillor, was of Anglo-Saxon descent.

Mr McDonald and others say he was nicknamed “Nigger” because of his fair complexion or after a brand of shoe polish.

The Queensland Government is contributing $2.15m to the ground’s upgrade, and Acting Premier Paul Lucas today said he wouldn’t expect the name to be retained.

“That sort of name is something that happened in the past,” Mr Lucas said on the Gold Coast.

“I don’t think there is any suggestion that the stand will be renamed in that fashion now.

“That is something you’d have to ask the Toowoomba Rugby League, but we don’t really name stands in that manner these days.”

Toowoomba academic Stephen Hagan, who has campaigned against the name for almost a decade and took his case to the UN, said retaining the term in any future tribute would amount to inciting racism.

Mr Hagan labelled Mr McDonald a “dinosaur” and “an embarrassment to rugby league”.

“In the NRL (National Rugby League) if you call someone a nigger on the playing field you can get a $10,000 fine or six weeks’ suspension,” he said.

“There’s no ambiguity in the rugby league circles.”

The Queensland Greens have also taken issue with the name, calling on Premier Anna Bligh to stop it being retained on any part of the ground.

Spokeswoman Libby Connors said it was an opportunity for Ms Bligh to show her commitment to social justice.

“No one opposing the sign has ever said that Toowoomba’s great footballer Edward Brown should not continue to be acclaimed and recognised,” Dr Connors said.

“John McDonald’s persistence in using this old local nickname from the days of the White Australia Policy is grossly insensitive to today’s generations especially given the outstanding contribution of indigenous footballers around the country and locally.”

In 2002, Mr Hagan took the issue to the UN, whose Committee on the Elimination of Racism condemned the sign and recommended its removal.

Then federal attorney-general Daryl Williams declined to act on the UN ruling.

Muslim Massacre

From the Department of I-Want-A-Fatwa-And-I-Want-One-Now! comes this story about a game called ‘Muslim Massacre’, designed by some bloke from Brisbane.

Oops.

Said designer has since thought better of his game, taken it down, and issued an apology:

I would like to make a public apology for any offense that I might have caused through releasing this game, and to Muslims in particular. My intentions when releasing this project were to mock the foreign policy of the United States and the commonly held belief in the United States that Muslims are a hostile people to be held with suspicion. I would like to make it clear that I have never shared such a belief and my intention was to mock those who actually do believe these things.

It quickly became obvious to me that releasing this game did not achieve its intended effect and instead only caused hurt to hospitable, innocent people. I believe removing this game and website will do much more to attain my desired effect than leaving it on the internet, so I am doing just that.

I would like to ask for the forgiveness of Muslims around the world and to make it clear that I did not release this game with ill intent. So without further ado, I would like to say that I am truly apologetic for what I have done and will take full responsibility for all offense that has been caused. I can only hope that any further misgivings can be laid to rest.

Sincerely,
~ Sigvatr

Thankfully for angry Aryans everywhere, Martin Fletcher of Downunder Newslinks (”Australian news for White people”) has saved the game from oblivion by making a copy of it available to all and sundry on his own rather, er… “cranky” website. Martin himself is a former devotee of James Saleam, but is currently associated with the Australian Protectionist Party, whose disco forum he co-admins with failed Sutherland Shire candidate Darrin Hodges. (Note that APP aren’t exactly ‘down with Mohammed’). Martin is very fond of game-playing, and previous to Muslim Massacre, placed the laff riot that was the Cronulla 2230 game on his website (Cronulla game site gets zapped, Asher Moses, October 18, 2006).

Martin also reproduces a series of very funny cartoons on his site, originally produced by Tom Metzger’s mob, White Aryan Resistance:

“Where they fail with words they excel with horrible, horrible racist cartoons. I know it’s wrong, but I found these cartoons hilarious, if only for the fact they were so desperately stupid. These guys should take Zack Parsons advice and come up with more creative racial stereotypes. However, I have to give them some credit; the racial slur “Moon Cricket” is one I’ve never heard before and find to be quite fascinating. It’s so zany how could anyone take offense to it? Anyway, let’s take a gander at some of these cartoons!”

Anti-Muslim computer game stirs wave of anger
Hannah Davies
The Courier-Mail
September 13, 2008

A COMPUTER game designed by a Brisbane man has caused Muslim anger around the world because it invites players to wipe out the followers of Islam.

Queensland police have launched an investigation into the game Muslim Massacre, which can be downloaded for free online.

http://www.muslimmassacre.com/

Players take control of an American “hero”, are given “an arsenal of the world’s most destructive weapons” and are tasked with killing as many Muslims as possible, ranging from terrorists and civilians to Osama bin Laden, even the prophet Mohammed and Allah.

Britain’s Ramadhan Foundation wants the game banned.

“This game is glorifying the killing of Muslims in the Middle East and we urge internet providers to take action to remove this site from their services,” foundation chief Mohammed Shafiq said.

“This is not satire but a deliberate attempt to demonise Muslims.”

The game was created by freelance programmer Eric Vaughan, 22, who calls himself “Sigvatr” on his online blog.

Mr Vaughan, who works at a petrol station in East Brisbane, refused to comment when contacted by The Courier-Mail yesterday.

On his blog, he describes the game as “fun and funny” and says to his critics: “The Muslims represented in the game aren’t meant to be based on actual Muslims.”

“Sigvatr” announced the creation of his game on the Something Awful forum, Play the beta of my game, Muslim Massacre on June 24, 2008.

Islamic Council of Queensland president Suliman Sabdia urged Police Minister Judy Spence to shut down the site.

“This is the sort of game which creates hysteria,” he said.

“It could lead on to other things if it goes unchecked.”

Ms Spence said she was concerned. “I am aware that the contents of this particular website have been brought to the attention of police, who are making an assessment as to whether it breaches any legislation,” she said.
