That I had ever any associations with the German NPD is pure fiction. I have in my youth been a member and delegate for the SPD (yes, I know, also three letters, and two are the same, so @ndy was probably too drunk to notice). The SPD (Social Democratic Party) is at the opposite of the political spectrum to the NPD and has been the governing party of Germany for many years. Just as well this lunatics website was shut down due to insulting falsities he spread about people he knew nothing about, so don't feel too sorry for him!

I also doubt there would of needed to be much arm twisting on behalf of Mr Trad to get his daughter in, he probably just needed to ask. This inter-Islamic rivalry would be great for The Australian and their newspaper sales. So from a purely economic point of view, it seems to be a smart move. So I am not too sure about the "dodgy" dealings behind her appointment. Are there any links to any of her articles? Good point.

Interesting that she’s using her role to attack those groups and individuals who have been most critical of her old man and The Former Mufti." Umm, so she isn't in fact an anti-Muslim attack dog, she's a pro some Muslims and anti some others. Victimology rides again:
