Message from the Premier of New South Wales, Minister of Western Sydney
Eid al Adha
It is a pleasure to send my greetings to Australasian Muslim Times readers during this auspicious time of Eid al Adha.
Eid al Adha is one of the most important festivals on the Islamic calendar and recalls Abraham’s test of obedience after being ordered to sacrifice his son.
This is a time of faith, prayer and charity, as the sacrificial feast feeds both the family and the needy.
We are fortunate to live in a harmonious society and the NSW Government remains committed to maintaining peace in our multicultural society and I welcome initiatives from the State’s Muslim community that promote interfaith understanding.
On behalf of the NSW Government, it is my pleasure to extend best wishes to all Australians marking Eid al Adha.
Eid Mubarak.
MIKE BAIRD MP
Premier
It is up to Mike now to start building Islamic Schools in the Sydney area and in new housing development areas. No more of this nonsense I do not want it in my suburb. If you do not like it leave the suburb. Trouble youths will not settle down until they are in private schools. It is up to St Andrews or St Marys Cathederal to get these other troublesome youths into their exclusive schools free of charge that are in the City. Get them where there is discipline and manners out of the Parramatta area. Both these Archbishops run for cover at the sign of trouble instead of finding their voice and doing good. We have a good PM but two hopeless Archbishops. They should have gone to the Mosque to help out immediately.
Well it is time for Mike Baird to start building Islamic Schools in Sydney. States schools are not the place for Muslims as they are a different way of life. We have plenty of land and plenty of new housing developments to get this started. Children must be taught they are responsible for their own actions and stop the Aussie way where everyone else is to blame for a person that commits crime.
