Down Under sidder dommeres hoveder øverst på kroppen – i Danmark sidder de down under.
(Australia) Has anybody else noticed how the devotees of a certain religious faith go out of their way in which to gain cop outs from our laws by claiming that as Muslims they cannot subscribe to any law but the ones dictated to Mohammed by Allah? Which is funny, as they appear to have no problem using our law system when anything upsets them.
Which is what happened down under when Keysar Trad, the Right-hand man of Islamic Cleric Taj Din al-Hilali, found Jason Morrison had described him as “gutless” and “just trouble” for his conduct at a rally after the Cronulla riots in December 2005. I mean, how dare he tell the truth?
So with his honour and respect at stake, Mr Trad took Mr Morrison to court on a charge of defamation. Unfortunately for Keysar, Justice McClellan, who was hearing the case, found in favour of Mr Morrison, and in his judgment said:
“There is little doubt that many of the plaintiff’s remarks are offensive to Jewish persons and homosexual. Many of his remarks are distasteful and appear to condone violence. I’m satisfied that the plaintiff does hold views which can properly be described as racist. I’m also satisfied that he encourages others to hold those views. In particular he holds views derogatory of Jewish people. The views which he holds would not be acceptable to most right-thinking Australians.”
It appears that Mr Trad didn’t look to see which way the wind was blowing when he thought he could still play the “I am a victim card” in Australia. Instead of making a packet, Mr Trad has been hit with a bill for $400,000 in court costs.
