Michael Smith editorial on Turnbull's dangerous Islamist friends at Kirribilli House for Ramadan dinner

Here's Andrew Bolt with mofre details on the guest list.

 

Malcolm Turnbull panders to the Muslim community by holding a Ramadan dinner at which he poses with the most media-friendly - but unrepresentative - Muslims he can find:

Mr Turnbull broke bread with religious leaders and prominent Islamic Australians at an Iftar dinner to mark the holy month of Ramadan at Kirribilli House on Thursday night… He’s the first Prime Minister ever to host such an event...

On his right side:

… broadcasting power couple The Project host Waleed Aly and wife Susan Carland ...

And on Turnbull’s left:

 

… Islamic youth advocate Yassmin Abdel-Magied ...

Note: Turnbull does not sit next to any Muslim religious leader at a dinner to mark a religious event. He does not sit next to a Muslim who actually represents - officially - other Muslims in an elected capacity.

He does not sit next to Australia’s Grand Mufti, who said the Islamist slaughter in Paris was the fault of the West.

He does not sit next to former Mufti Sheikh Hilali, who said suicide bombers were “heroes” and praised the September 11 terror attacks as ”God’s work against oppressors”.

He does not sit next to another former Grand Mufti, Sheikh Fehmi, who praises the Hezbollah terrorist group.

He does not sit next to Sheik Wahwah, head of Hizb ut Tahrir in Australia, who threatens Jews with ”an eye for any eye, blood for blood”, claiming that where Jews live ”corruption abounds”.

He does not sit next to Sheikh Omran, emir of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah school of Islamic thought, who once described al Qaeda head Osama bin Laden as “a good man in some ways, and not in other ways” and also said ”I dispute any evil action linked to bin Laden”.

No, he sits next to a white convert who is a university lecturer and wife of a TV star and Logie winner, and to a young female engineer who is a Q&A favorite.

And not a burqa in sight.

This seating arrangement is designed not to present Islam as it really is in Australia but as Turnbull would like us to believe. And it is designed above all to add lustre to Turnbull himself.
