Oh, what a good idea! Bonzer!
I've read the Koran -- several times, in different translations -- and the one thing that doesn't jump out at me is just how... Aussie its values are.
Maybe I missed something. So I went back specifically seeking that "fair go and tolerance" the imams are tasked with finding... and found..... nope, not a one, not a verse, not a surah.
(I did find plenty of verses, though, telling Muslims to hate the infidels; to attack the infidels; to terrorise the infidels.... what to do with those, oh bright ones in the Aussie multicultural bureaucracy?)
And note how much money they (The Australian Multicultural Foundation) will give to this program: $A 55,000. Gee, that'll go a long way... not! Mosques in Australia would get that much daily from Saudi Arabia. And not exactly for promoting Aussie or western values...
This program really just shows how clueless are those in charge of "Muslim integration into mainstream society".
Further: they take it on themselves to lecture what "the right Muslim voices" are. But the "right" voice may be the one that calls on Muslims to be separate from its surrounding infidel society:
"take not the disbelievers for your friends". [K: 04:089]
