REPORT: Australia: Muslims complain that singing anthem is “forced assimilation”
“Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir decries ‘forced Muslim assimilation,’” by Ean Higgins, The Australian, November 1, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth):
Requiring schoolchildren to sing the national anthem, and the citizenship pledge supporting democratic values, are part of an oppressive campaign by Australian authorities of “forced assimilation” of the Muslim community, a conference heard this morning.
The conference held by Islamist activist group Hizb ut-Tahrir entitled “Innocent Until Proven Muslim” is taking place at Bankstown in Sydney’s west, attended by about 800 people.
Hizb ut-Tahrir spokesman Uthman Badar told the conference the Australian government “claims to afford freedom, but seeks to impose values and beliefs” on Muslims.
Muslims were expected to not just be gracious about Australian values, but publicly promote them, Mr Badar said.
This imposition of secular western values was reflected in the oath when taking out citizenship, Mr Badar said, with new citizens required to pledge allegiance to Australia “whose democratic beliefs I share”.
“It’s not enough that you obey the law, no, you have to adopt our values,” Mr Badar told the conference.
Similarly, Mr Badar said, schoolchildren were required to sing the national anthem, which he said, “reflects a disputed view of history”.
“If you don’t share those values, why should they be forced to sing it?” Mr Badar said.
