Comments on: The fake Sheikh “Haron” http://austrolabe.com/2007/12/06/the-fake-sheikh-haron/ Mon, 08 Mar 2010 06:26:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: jess http://austrolabe.com/2007/12/06/the-fake-sheikh-haron/comment-page-1/#comment-211016 jess Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:56:46 +0000 http://austrolabe.com/2007/12/06/the-fake-sheikh-haron/#comment-211016 It seems noone is particularly interested in Haron Monis’s message – whatever that might be. As usual with the Australian media there’s been a lot of huff and puff over this man’s actions and no real meaty reporting about what it is he is saying. Commentators are so eager to judge both Monis, and to a lesser extent ‘the Muslim community’ for not condemning him, that (apart from at least some attempt at objective reporting) I would like to see the media presenting a little more background on Monis and shedding at least some light on his point. Channel Nine’s atrociously bad coverage of Monis’s court day theatre could have been a scene from Team America: World Police. The ‘news reporter’ whose role might more appropriately have been described as ‘patronising hate-mongerer’ might as well have been a puppet with visible strings. He was doing the very thing he would have us accuse Monis of – waving his arms about childishly in order to gain attention and instigate an emotional response from his audience. I suspect that Monis has a more virtuous objective – peace – if ever we were allowed to hear it. It seems noone is particularly interested in Haron Monis’s message – whatever that might be.

The sad part is most Aussie's knee jerk reaction is to go for the hypothetical jugular, indeed that was my response to the news reports... after doing a little research online it soon became apparent that this guy is not only a fraud, but a bad fraud and an evil man. He is denounced by all races, Muslims, Christians, Atheists and Agnostics alike... lets just forget about this twit... move on i say...

I live and work in sunshine, melbourne. Come for a chat and i will tell you what i really think. That turd is not an australian. Nobody cares if he is muslim, shia or pink with poka dots. You dont send letters to dead soldiers familys regardless of who you are, or who you think you are, thats a pretty simple philosophy. I am racist towards behaviour, if you act normal i dont care what race, religion you are. Act like an idiot then i dislike you just like most Australians. So you see selwa my friend, like i said he will die sooner or later just like you, just like me. Selwa, do you think i care if the police have my IP address? I live and work in sunshine, melbourne.

"Sheikh Haron" may well be a weapon in this war, a "black propaganda" creation, designed to cause confusion and raise the temperature. The uproar, such as it is, makes real Moslems feel uneasy, while feeding and encouraging anti-Moslem feeling. That certainly seems to be the intention.
