Different standards for Muslims?

Does Monash University have different standards for Muslims? 

We are entitled to expect that those who lecture at our universities are appropriately qualified. Otherwise, weWaleed would be misleading the students that the university is supposed to serve. So for instance, if I have a degree in psychology, I would not be qualified to teach law. If I have a degree in law, I would presumably not be considered for a post in politics. (written by Cassandra)

The following was researched and written by Ganesh:

It used to be, and I hope is still, the case that if one wanted to even tutor at Monash University, the minimum requirement was achievement of a Class 2A Honours.
If one was to be considered for employment as a lecturer; the minimum requirement would probably be at least a PhD, or significant completion thereof, or perhaps a substantial portfolio of works published in refereed journals in the field that the candidate is to lecture in.

What then does one make of the recent appointment of Mr Waleed Aly, of the Islamic Council of Victoria, formerly a lawyer, as a lecturer in Politics at Monash's School of Political and Social Inquiry, Faculty of Arts?
Mr Aly graduated in 2002 from Melbourne University with degrees in Engineering and Law.
He obtained a Class 2B Honours in completing the LLB, finishing 8th from the bottom of the list of H2B recipients.(see attachment,located HERE).
He is best known for his newspaper articles, and a recent book, People Like Us, How Arrogance is dividing Islam and the West (Picador Australia).
Otherwise he is best known for being the public face of the Islamic Council of Victoria in ICV v Catch The Fire Ministries, a matter heard under Victoria's religious vilification laws.
How the above qualify him to be an academic in the field of politics is a question which is not likely to be answered by Monash VC Richard Larkins.
 
Larkins has yet to provide any answers as to how/why the Monash Asia Institute hired one Zulfikar Shariff, a known supporter of Osama bin Laden, as a research fellow despite the Shariff not having any academic qualifications at all.
Located at adm.monash.edu.au are advertisements for the various positions, including that of lecturer within the Arts Faculty, Monash University, which includes the School of Politics. Readers can see for themselves that the minimum requirement is a PhD or equivalent.

 Prof. Larkins
So what do we conclude from these facts?
There are certainly some questions that need to be asked:-

•    Do universities routinely ignore their own minimum requirements?
•    What makes Waleed uniquely qualified to lecture in Politics/Global Terrorism?
•    Are there different rules for employing Muslims on Campus? After all, there are different rules for them in other areas of campus life – their own special toilets, prayer rooms/mosques and Islamic Departments – which are not afforded to other religions.

I honestly don’t know the answer to the above 3 questions, but I suggest that those of us who value fairness and equality and oppose discrimination in favour of a particular religion should get in touch with the Vice Chancellor of Monash asap!

Is there some sort of affirmative action going on here, whereby Muslims are automatically considered disadvantaged/victims, and so the usual rules don't apply? If so, the University should provide information, so that the process is transparent.

Why are Muslims invariably given special privileges denied other members of our community? I thought Australia was the land of the Fair Go.

I can understand the need for affirmative action in some cases, but Waleed is hardly deprived. He had the financial resources to obtain a double degree, despite not being a brilliant student, and obviously makes a good living with all his activities - lawyer/writer/journalist/public speaker/Islamist ICV spokesman etc.

Cassandra,
Even if this be affirmative action, let us make it amply clear to all concerned that it has absolutely no place in our class rooms and unversities.I shall be taking up this issue with Prof. Larkins and demanding that he come clean on this entirely sordid episode. But you will agree that a strong, collective, protest is called for. If this sort of thing is allowed to proceed unhindered, this will create an ugly precedent and others will more readily jump onto this bandwagon in the days ahead.

Is there an address that is more accessible than the genenral uni address to which one can write to express disapproval?

It is really bigtime dhimmitude when those with better qualificiations do not launch appeals at the appointment of such a person.

Salad In,
Yes, Victoria has certainly embraced dhimmitude, with its religious villifcation laws to prevent us telling the truth about Islam. But we're not all happy about it. :(

Jaisingh,
Yes, Larkins has some explaining to do. If as many of us as possible write to him, maybe at the least it will raise awareness. Otherwise, I shall apply for a job in theoretical physics and demand I be appointed, following the Waleed precedent!! (but at least I did an 'O' Level in Physics many years ago, so am arguably better qualified than Waleed)

Wendy, yes, there must be loads of people out there with degrees in politics who would give anything to get a prestigious university position, but know they wouldn't stand a chance.

Ganesh,
perhaps they're studying Mr Shariff. I find this news very depressing since I studied at the Monash Asia Institute 15 years ago when, of course, standards were much higher.

The answer to your question Ganesh is YES.
Unfortunately it is not the only university which does it.
In fact I am struggling to name just one uni, which isn't peddling Islam as the perfect social system.

Thanks for informing the public at large about this disgraceful act by Larkin employing an under qualified muslim as a research fellow at this Uni. It is humiliating, I fought for six years in poverty to earn my degree and got fruit picking as a reward. this thug who wants to destroy us is GIVEN a visa and employment at a university.
Write a common letter i can download and sign and i'll also send it on to the Govenor General expressing my real outrage at this action by Larkin who has probably not been asked to justify his actions. Why havn't the newpapers been asking questions?

I'll send an email to Larkin and the GG anyway plus phone them tomorrow, Thursday 30 August. Max

I bet he thinks the US is the greatest terrorist and so Hamas must be a freedom fighting organization.

I think it would be better if we just dropped the University bit, and substitute it with; The National Institute of Ideological and Pathological Monkeys and Moronic Court Jester of The Thievery Foundation ; Griffith Uni comes second; and undoubtable a further long list.

All of us should be worried that at some point in the future when reality hits home, there will be an awfully big mess that has to be cleaned up.

Those thoughts on the clean up are sought after now.

Ransomer of Captives from the Muslims

Perhaps some readers might be interested to know that January 28 is considered a feast day among Catholics – actually 2 feast days are celebrated on the same day – one is of ST Thomas Aquinas, the great medieval theologian and philosopher who adapted Aristotle to the western Judeo-Christian worldview. . It is also the feast day of a lesser known person – St Peter Nolasco, the great ransomer of captives from the Muslims.

Somalian Islamic Pirates & Lessons from History
 
The dramatic rescue of the American cargo-ship captain Richard Phillips from the hands of Somalian Islamic pirates by the U.S. Navy—killing three pirates, holding him hostage at gun-point, through precision-targeting—warrants a review of the U.S. struggle with piracy and hostage-taking in North Africa, which ended two centuries ago.

Raiding trade-caravans and hostage-taking for extracting ransom in Islam was started by Prophet Muhammad. Having become powerful and secure after his relocation to Medina from Mecca in 622, Muhammad initiated Jihad or holy war in the form of raids of trade-caravans for earning livelihood for his community. In the first successful raid of a Meccan caravan at Nakhla in December 623, his brigands killed one of the attendants, took two of them captive, and acquired the caravan as “sacred” booty. The captives were ransomed to generate further revenue. Muhammad, later on, expanded this mode of Jihad to raiding non-Muslim communities around Arabia—for capturing their homes, properties and livestock, capturing their women and children as slaves often for ransoming and selling, and imposing extortional taxes—which sometimes involved mass-slaughter of the attacked victims.

The Battle of Broken Hill

The First Islamic Terrorist Attack on Australian Soil
 
On January 1, 1915 two Broken Hill men, both former camel drivers, armed themselves with rifles, an homemade flag bearing Islamic insignia and a large supply of ammunition and launched a surprise attack on the Picnic Train about 3 kilometres outside Broken Hill.

The train carried about 1200 Broken Hill residents to Silverton where a picnic to celebrate the new year was to take place.

The two Muslim men, Gool Mohamed originally a Pashtun tribesman from Afghanistan and Mullah Abdullah from what is known today as Pakistan, decided to wage jihad against Australian infidels after Australia and the Ottoman Empire officially joined the opposite sides in the WWI.

Battle of Higueruela

Alhambra - GazelleHow often in conversation with a Muslim, do they quote Spain as the crowning achievement of Islam, where Muslims, Jews and Christians lived in harmony for about 800 years?

And when you mention the killings and massacres, you are told that the Spanish Inquisition was much worse.
This is a misconception, since the Inquisition in Spain was responsible for only between 4,000 and 5,000 lives. [1]

Yet in 1066AD, in a single day, muslims murdered over 4,000 Jews because Vizier Joseph ibn Naghrela had risen to a position greater than them, and of course, this upset the Muslim sensitivities. [2]

Wh y are you a Muslim?
Musli ms in general love to hear the above question because it has a simple and readymade answer in their minds besides it gives them the opp or t u nity to propagate their religion and talk proudly about Islam.

A typical Muslim’s answer would be like this: ‘because Islam is the right religion and the only one that is accepted by Allah’. Having made such a confident start, Muslims wait impatiently to hear the next question which they predict and to which they also have a readymade answer:

Lepanto Anniversary

Decisive Victory for the West

At this time of year, it is timely to remember one of the greatest victories of the west against the Islamic world. On the 7th October in 1571, Don Juan and the Holy League, led by Admiral Doria, defeated the larger Ottoman fleet in the Battle of Lepanto, saving Europe from the Turks and militant Islam. The Holy League was a coalition of different armies - of the Republic of Venice, the Papacy (under Pope Pius V), Spain (including Naples, Sicily and Sardinia), the Republic of Genoa, the Duchy of Savoy, the Knights Hospitaller and some others. Pope Pius V knew the significance of the battle – that Europe would be overrun by Islam if the Turks won – so he called all Europe to pray as never before. As there was no internet at the time, messengers on horseback were sent to as many places as possible to spread the word. There was certainly a feeling of unity of will – politically and spiritually in Europe and the response to the Pope’s call was immediate and positive, even if the Holy League was not that good a navy.

The Big Picture
We are at war with Militant Islam and those who support and appease its agenda. And I guess anyone who has knowledge of recent history, would agree with me, that we have been at war with this ideology since the late 1960’s when the Islamists began their terrorist campaign against the west, by hijacking airliners. The Islamists, emboldened by the compliance to their demands of western governments, particularly those in Europe, have, since their first forays into terror, now become an adept world wide movement which threatens ALL nations with extinction. But this is not a conventional war in the sense that we have a recognizable enemy that we may close with in combat. Our enemy refuses to fight openly knowing they cannot match the might of the Coalition forces so chooses instead to fight using guerilla tactics. Part of those tactics is to commit acts of unbelievable cruelty and barbarity against those who cannot defend themselves with the intention of fracturing our societies. Our enemy is ruthless, cunning and prepared to die for his cause. In this regard we should never underestimate his strength of purpose and resolve.

Muslim Jerusalem
Jerusalem - Coat of ArmsWhy do Muslims insist that Jerusalem is their Holy City?
When Mohamed and his faithful followers moved from Mecca to Medina, they found themselves among three Jewish tribes/clans (BANU-L-NADIR, BANU KAINUKA and BANU KURAIZA)  which settled there some time after their expulsion from their homeland and also living there were  two Arab, pagan tribes.

Mohammed, who at this stage needed more followers, decided to win those tribes over and convert them to his newly invented religion.

Islam was yet not as fully developed as we know it today, and Mohammed was still having his sessions with Allah (the Medina period revelations).

Killing of Banu Quraiza
Did Prophet Muhammad order Killing Surrendered Jews of Banu Quraiza and Khaybar?  A historical Analysis

In the post 9/11 era of this modern-world, Islamists around the globe are busy with ‘damage control utopia’ in order to correct the image of religion Islam. We all know that the nucleus of Islam are: Quran, Hadiths (Sunnah) supported by Islamic histories and biographies recorded by various famous Islamic scholars and historians. Now, if we read Quran, hadiths and historical accounts (written by famous Muslim and non-Muslim historians) of Islam with our neutral mind-set, we can easily discover myriads of evidences which are the testament of the fact that unlike any other world’s organized religions, Islam was an Arab political and imperialistic ideology which was propagated by the sword.

Islam will Lose

 ...so will the West

Devout MuslimIslam is currently passing through one of its most dynamic times since its rise fourteen hundreds years ago. This dynamic period started long before 9/11 as a fierce struggle, mainly against the west, but also against any nation or group that dares to stand in its way.   Most Muslims take this resurgence phase very seriously and consider it as a decisive battle between Islam and the non-Islam, or the kufr, which Mohammed told them they would win. Even though the west, currently, is largely in denial about this makes no difference to the significance of this conflict to the whole world.

Lebanon – once the Paris of the Middle East, now an Islamic hellhole

Brigitte Gabriel, a Lebanese Christian, spoke in Melbourne recently and we were privileged to be in the audience.

Her words sound a warning to all those who cherish freedom. She personally attests to the disintegration of freedom and safety once a country comes under Islamic subjugation. It’s hard to believe it could happen in Australia, but then who would have thought that the Paris of the Middle East could descend into such chaos. Come to think of it, looks as if the Paris of Europe is at risk of suffering the same fate! Maybe we can learn from these countries before it is too late.
