Fed-up Muslims to take on ALP

ISLAMIC leaders have declared war on the State Government, calling for pro-Muslim candidates to run in key western Sydney Labor seats.

Lebanese Muslim Association president Samier Dandan yesterday used the Eid al-Adha festival at Lakemba to outline his group's political ambitions.

In front of more than 5000 followers, Mr Dandan said Labor had to be kicked out of office at the March election.

"We want the Muslim people to have their say. We are telling them that Labor has not done the job and that it's time for them to go," he said.


Mr Dandan said the Labor seats of Auburn, Lakemba, Liverpool, Bankstown and Canterbury would be targeted. He did not rule out the possibility of running independent candidates at the election.

"I can't disclose our strategy but our message is clear. We need change. Our people have been marginalised and left behind," Mr Dandan said.

Mr Dandan, a member of the Arabic Chamber of Commerce who served as a Muslim Reference Group adviser to former prime minister John Howard, said councils and Labor MPs had discriminated against Sydney's Muslims.

"Enough is enough. Labor thinks these are safe seats. That's why they don't spend the money," he said.

Can't wait for the disgruntled left-handers, ugly people, tall people, short people, sad people with terminal halitosis and other groups who feel that they aren't represented properly. :D ;D :'(

It has been raining today. :)
