Mr Wertheim and Mr Goot are seeking a declaration that Mr Haddad contravened section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act – which makes it unlawful for a person to “offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate” someone based on their race or ethnicity.
They also seek injunctions to have the speeches removed from the internet and restrain Mr Haddad and the centre from publishing similar content in the future.
.....
.....
Mr Haddad's legal team says that if the court does find there was a contravention of the law, then that section of the Racial Discrimination Act is unconstitutional because....
it would be prohibiting the free exercise of religion.
In defence documents, Mr Haddad argued
...the speeches were derived in substance from the text of the Koran and Hadith
— reports believed by Muslims to be the words of Mohammed, his family and companions.
Q.
Considering the quotes above........
Are these KORAN verses [below], also, now to be regarded as 'protected speech', whenever uttered by devout followers of ISLAM,
in Australia ??
.....because they "......were derived in substance from the text of the Koran." ???"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him;...."Koran 3.85
"And fight with them until.....religion should be only for Allah,..."Koran 2.193
"Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise):
they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain:...."
Koran 9.111
"O ye who believe!
Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him)."
Koran 9.123
"....take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends....
......he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them."
Koran 5.51
n.b.
those words......
".....he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them."
This is >>
religious instruction << to every follower of ISLAM,
...that
in BEING THE FRIEND of disbelievers,
a former moslem would be 'ex-communicated' from ISLAM.
.....and therefore as an 'apostate', he/she, would be worthy to be
LAWFULLY killed [e.g. 'honour killing' victim],
to be eagerly performed by one of your former co-religionists.
That, is what Koran 5.51 is saying !!.
Instruction from the prophet of ALLAH,
in the hadith....
"...the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion,
kill him."

FURTHER CONFIRMATION.....
.....
regarding what officially 'constitutes' apostasy....
.....to the devout follower of ISLAM......
ISLAMIC LAW...."Ibn 'Umar related that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said,
"I have been ordered to kill the people until they testify that there is no god except Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer and pay the zakah. If they do that, their blood and wealth are protected from me save by the rights of Islam. Their reckoning will be with Allah." (Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.) "
fiqhussunnah/fus1_06
ISLAMIC LAW...."Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet said: "The bare essence of Islam and the basics of the religion are three [acts], upon which Islam has been established.
Whoever leaves one of them becomes an unbeliever and his blood may legally be spilled.[The acts are:] Testifying that there is no God except Allah, the obligatory prayers, and the fast of Ramadan."...."

"Whoever....becomes an unbeliever...
....his blood may legally be spilled."
