***Namanya saja sudah jelas, on a taxpayer-funded image-boosting mission, tentu misi pertama adalah me-muji2 Australia. ***Senior Muslim leaders ini, patutnya mempelajari sejarah dan menilai nasib aborigine di Australia, ajak aborigine melihat dunia luar. Muslims fly our flag in Indonesia
Taghred Chandab | October 28, 2007 EIGHT senior Muslim leaders from Australia will visit remote parts of Indonesia this week on a taxpayer-funded image-boosting mission. The delegates - Dr Ameer Ali, Shafiq Khan, Dr Amin Hady, Sheik Sabri Samson, Tom Zreika, Ikebal Patel, Jamila Hussain and Faiza El-Higzi - spent last week in Malaysia, where many locals see Australians as racist and intolerant. "Some people, even the legislators, feel that Australia is an anti-Muslim country because of our link to the US and UK," said Mr Zreika, the president of the Lebanese Muslim Association. The Cronulla riots and a public debate over banning the hijab had worsened the problem. Mr Zreika said Malaysians were "all very surprised by how good life is as a Muslim in Australia". "They are even more shocked to hear we receive so much assistance from the very Government that is perceived to be oppressing Muslims."
