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!

Doggie,

FIFO stands for Fit in or F** off.

I know, I bought the T shirt last time I was in Dampier

and the preface - AWOL?

Hahhaha
I saw it on a redneck sticker and I knew what FIFO meant but not the AWOL before it.

Yup
There is no story there

However pweedas has a point that there could be a strong voice amongst Muslims that he should have been treated differently and that can be a precursor to hatred

A precursor to hatred.....WHAT....There's plenty of hatred already......from the rednecks on this forum

I meant them hating us.
We have seen previously where a court decision has made a particular group strike out against society in general, and you have to admit that there is potential here. That's all we said - 'maybe'

Read all the first page instead of scrolling down looking for the comments by 'rednecks' to fulfill your preconceived idea that there must be hatred here

(EDIT: welcome back, I wondered where you'd been all day whilst this was going on )

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

Now go read all the New Testament that does away with that crap.
Only the Muslims and Jews believe in all that old testament stuff, but of course it is unpopular to say so

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?

So your point is: If you live in Australia and you commit a crime being from a muslim country, Pastafarian, Uzbekistan, Papouasia, Timbuktu...... etc, to get a fair trial you should be judged by some tribal, custom, traditional rules that are current in those countries?
Nice….. in the Pastafarian bible it is said that steeling money from a bank is not really stealing if the amount is less than $100,000,000.00 or more than $1,000,000.00. I am going to the bank next door I am sure they will treat me fairly and give me the money! Hope they are not redneck racists!

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..

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.

It wasn't that at all. It was an attempt to tilt the playing field to his advantage on the basis of his religion.

Nothing wrong with working the judicial system in an attempt to better the outcome for yourself. Lawyers do it all the time, especially when selecting jury. But singling yourself out as a minority on the basis of religion in a multi-cultural society is...well...un-Australian.

Personally think that justice has prevailed and the proof is in the pudding as he plead guilty to charges (albeit lesser ones) once his ploy had failed.

"Not at all scary"??
In that case why are all these refugees leaving their "not at all scary" countries and risking their lives to come here???
Could it be because they consider that their daughters being blown up in their schools for daring to get an education is just a little bit scary maybe?
Or any one of the dozens of other atrocities being comitted in the name of their beliefs are scary?
Obviously they find something scary enough that they risk their life to escape it.

You are putting the people fleeing, and the people they are fleeing from in the same ...boat.

I should add that if everyone had the same mindset as Adziz then there would be no problem, but sadly, that is not the case. Some have the stated aim of establishing a world wide islamic state by whatever means are necesary. And their version of an islamic state is nowhere near as benevolent as the view which Adziz holds. And God bless you Adziz. You sound like a great guy. Long may that continue.

Translation: You sound like a great guy Adziz. God bless you ...but please tell your family to stay where they are because they want to establish a world wide Islamic state by whatever means necessary.

WTF man? WTF?

Also, to call someone cowardly because they state their point of view only adds to the problem. If the opinion is wrong then say why, don't try and silence their view by trying to make them feel small.

I explained why I see their opinion is wrong very, very clearly. I always try to.

Again: 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.

Do you find Adziz scary?

No I didnt but, is it wrong to be scared and not say anything? I will tell you right now that I am scared of islam and what it represents particually the extreemists.
