Last Update: Sunday, January 28, 2007. 4:39pm (AEDT) Iemma wants ban on group pushing for Islamic state New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma is calling on the Federal Government to ban the group Hizb-ut Tahrir, which is holding a conference in south-west Sydney today. Hizb-ut Tahrir, which is banned in Europe and parts of the Middle East, focuses on the idea of creating an ideal Islamic state somewhere in the world. Mr Iemma says the group should be banned from Australia. "This is an organisation that is basically saying that it wants to declare war on Australia, our values and our people," he said. "That's the big difference and that's why I believe that they are just beyond the pale. "Enough is enough! And it's time for the Commonwealth to review this organisation's status and take the lead from other countries and ban them." The Federal Opposition says the Government should have considered denying a visa to the Lakemba conference's controversial keynote speaker. Opposition immigration spokesman Tony Burke says Ismail Yusanto, from Indonesia, has expressed radical views in the past that should have been investigated by the Government. "My fear is that they haven't even bothered to have a look at it," he said. Today Dr Yusanto has outlined how an Islamic state would work, and said all its members would have to be prepared for jihad, or holy war, to defend it. +++ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
