BEAUTIFUL AUSTRALIA


Bismillahirahmanirahim
(In the Name of Allah Most Gracious, Most Merciful)


At the first time, I discover Australia is a genuine welcoming country in this world. It looks like a big home for every body. It doesn’t matter whether you are atheist or religious. It makes us feel free to appreciating ourselves as this country covers those with law. But what in fact? Unfortunately it is not anymore. It has happened with Australians Moslem.


Australians Moslem lived in this country peace and happily for ages until the criminal who abusing Islam as a reason doing terrorism. America as a “superior country” began propaganda anti terrorism around the world with blaming Islam to be responsible. All media help it with their power and it has been succeded, as lot of people became Islamophobia. This is unfortunate as they don’t know well about Islam and they believe in media talk & stirrer who most of reports are often misleading. Otherwise Australia media looks unfair with Moslem people because every time a Moslem doing a bad thing such a committed criminal, media reporter told about he/she with him/her Islam and their ethnic background but what happen if the criminal is not Moslem? They never mentioned about religion or ethnic. They said just he/she for an alleged or committed criminal, Of course, this story gives contribution of scaring people with Islam.

Moslems are commanded to consume healthy and wholesome food meats of animal on which the name of God has been taken and they forbid to eat pork or consume drugs and alcohol which non Muslem usually eat and drink, they must pray 5 times a day, the woman must cover their body properly where they are going outside their house. This might be difference with Australian non-Moslem custom, but this is NOT the reason Australian Moslem could not assimilate with Australia’s culture.

It is odd because Australian claim themself a multicultural country but in fact all Islamic custom being abnormal for them and they cannot see or accept that is a part Australia culture anymore. As personal I always curious of what Australia culture is? Aboriginal culture is always representing Australia to the world, but are all the Australians accept & acknowledge aboriginal art and culture as their very culture as well as knows them well?

All of the world’s great religion and believers have come to all countries and absorbed inside a human soul who live in shores to mountains and desserts including come into Australia’s land. The Australians have absorbed them all since a long time ago. Even some of the deny it and proclaim him/herself as atheist now, I believe their accentors are believer or true religious.

The Moslem refugee from conflict countries are people who need to build their family and doing praying with feel free and peace, that is the reason why they are here now . Truly if they chose the way to die, they will choose to die on battle at their own country as Suhada so there is no reason for them to bring the battle into Australia. The Australians should not judge them with terrorism they never did and treat them like criminal and assaulting them.
However Australia claim this country “whatever our backgrounds and beliefs, we are united as Australians and want to live in a country that is free of racial intolerance”.(

In fact, until now we still have racism and still struggle to make this country free of racial intolerance. I think we always find it at all around the world and we have to sorry with this people. If they claim as religius and true believer in God, they are hypocrite because No religions teach being racism.

Hi thanks for the warning, I will be happy if the government or
immigration follows my stories as I will tell them about Australia from my point of view and I hope this would give them something to think about. They will ask my view why Australia is a racism country after 9/11attack. Why I am so aware with the result of media anti terrorism campaign.

BTW it would be nice if you could introduce yourself then I will know
whom I am talking to. Well, first of all I want to thank to you if you are an indigenous Australia as you are welcoming to people around the world come and stay in your mainland. If you are an Australian but not indigenous Australia, I would like to suggest you to welcome me and all migrant “on board” as you said that we are coming for food, you are not completely wrong as we did the same thing with your ancestor when
they came to Australia along or sometimes ago. We build our new live here. If you aren’t Australian,well I thought you know very little about this beautiful country. Australia has a very good system to protect it's residents which came from around the world and also indigenous Australia. Australia is not tolerance with racism, terrorism and any kind of violence. Australia supports multi culture. This work is not easy as many people lack of knowledge about culture and religion so
what happened with Moslem community after 9/11 attack was not good, some Moslems had awful incidents from non-Moslem Australian and some non-Moslem Australian became afraid of their Moslem neighbor also the Moslems felt not safe anymore afraid of someone will hurt them because
of their religion.

Of course Australia government tries to protect both sides and build a mutual understanding between Moslem and non Moslem Australia. Do you know Islam awareness are held around Australia? Do you know the migrants
come to Australia because this country invites them to live here and build this to become a great country? Do you know there are many
educated and skilled migrants came here to help Australia became a
better place for everyone? Do you know there are many diligent and
brilliant people among the refugees? Do you know how many people among them trying very-very hard to become good Australians? The Australia government knows these matters absolutely.

Your comment showed me that you don’t know why I wrote that story
also what happened with Moslem community and people in Australia after 9/11 attack so I suggest you to learn more about Australia, you are so naïf if everything is excellent here. This is just a country like other that has problems and tries to protect and educate people to become open minded with the globalization. It would be sorry for the people who don’t want to join this era because they live in the nut shell and unhappy when they have to go out from their shell.

Well I don’t need talk to much, it would be better if you aware with
Australian government do to make harmony living in Australia. There are many things to do to support it. IF you are Australia resident I suggest you to support multi-culture program and anti racism activities because Australia is a multi-culture country, if you care with people around you, you can donate your blood to the Red Cross or your money to guide dog, skin cancer, or whatever you like to help people or even to RSPCA. Then if you have a free time I suggest you to join with any volunteer
work. With these activities I believe your life would be better. If you have spare time to read and learn I suggest you learn more about the Australia culture. The culture that is not only about Beer & BBQ sausage sizzlers. PEACE
