Revealed: Sydney's web of hate

July 10, 2006

MUSLIM extremists in Sydney are using the internet to gather support
for making Australia an Islamic state.

The chat rooms also reveal a ground swell of support for notorious
terrorists such as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi among some young Muslims
living in the suburbs. 

Just a day after investigators in the US uncovered an internet-based
plot to attack New York, The Daily Telegraph can reveal that
Australian Muslim websites are awash with similar material. 

The sinister forums are contained in innocent-looking websites posing
as community discussion boards. 

The Sydney Muslim Youth Forum, on which hundreds of young Muslims
exchange views about Islam, devotes several threads to turning
Australia an Islamic state. 

"I reckon we stay and try our best to get to high positions in this
country so it comes to the fold of Islam," wrote one member calling
himself God's Slave 4 Life. 

Another member called Wasalam also suggested imposing the Muslim way
of life on Australian society from the inside and called on members 
to pray for Muslims waging war overseas. 

"We have to be sure firstly that Allah is pleased with us and that
we're completing our task and that we're not only stressing about
what's happening but that we are also doing something about it,"
Wasalam writes. 

"May Allah help us and bring victory to the Muslimeen and Mujahideen
in every land, ameen." 

But a female member tells her friends that Australian Muslims would be
better off moving overseas. 

"Don't you think we should all unite in one land and from there 
re-organise ourselves into different territories?" she wrote. 

"We are investing our gold n' silver in a non-Muslim land and at
any moment if the big bosses think we're up to no good, they can 
just freeze everything!" 

The Muslim Village website - a branch of the mainstream
IslamicSydney.com site - contains disturbing messages of 
support for some of the world's most reviled terrorists.
