أستراليا: مطالبة المسلمين بضبط النفس أثناء زيارة فيلدرز

- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

طالب رموز العمل الإسلامي بـ"أستراليا" المجتمع الإسلامي بضبط النفس على إثر الزيارة المرتقبة لرئيس "حزب الحرية الهولندي" المناهض للإسلام "خيرت فيلدرز" اليميني المتطرف.

وقد أعربت جمعية "كيو" الأسترالية - التي دعت "فيلدرز" لزيارة البلاد - عن استنكارها لتأخر منحه تأشيرة الدخول، والتي طالب رئيسها "أندريو هوروود" بأن يمنح "فيلدرز" فرصة الحديث أمام البرلمان، وأن يساعد في ترسيخ الديمقراطية الأسترالية القائمة على القيم اليهودية النصرانية.

وبالرغم من وصف وزير الهجرة "كريس بوين" لـ"فيلدرز" بالمتطرف، إلا أنه أكد أنه لا يمكن منع تأشيرة دخوله ليلقي كلمته في مطلع العام القادم. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Muslim leaders call for calm over visit of anti-Islam Dutch politician Wilders

FAR-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders has postponed a speaking tour of Australia until early next year, after Immigration Minister Chris Bowen said he would not block his visit.

Mr Wilders, who has likened the Koran to Hitler's Mein Kampf and delivers talks on the theme of Islam's alleged destruction of western values, was originally due in the country this month but now plans to make it to Melbourne, Sydney and possibly Perth in February, say tour organisers.

Muslim leaders say they are disappointed the politician, labelled “extremist” by Mr Bowen, is being allowed into the country, but have called for calm.

At the same time the Coalition accused Mr Bowen of double standards over his delay in approving Mr Wilders' visa, while recently granting Muslim leader Taji Mustafa entry almost immediately.

The organisation bringing Mr Wilders to Australia, the Q Society, said: “Frankly, it was embarrassing and awkward that this man has had his visa held up for so long, given he is a politician in the Netherlands.”

“We're really hoping the Prime Minister will invite him to speak at parliament when he arrives and we're hoping to add Perth to the public speeches list,” added Andrew Horwood, whose Q Society is a Victorian-based organisation that seeks to keep Australia's democracy based on “Judeo-Christian ethics and values”.

A spokesman for Julia Gillard said she will “not be extending such an invite”.

Mr Wilders founded and still leads the Party for Freedom in The Netherlands and has spent much of his political career attempting to “save” his country from what he calls “Islamisation”.

Mr Bowen, writing in The Australian, labelled Mr Wilders an “extremist” but said he would not intervene because Australia's democracy was strong enough to handle his anti-multicultural views.
