Australian Jewish leader says he has no objection to Muslim party

An Australian Jewish leader has said that says he has no objection to the registration of Australia's first Muslim political party. In saying that he did not object to the registration of the new party, Jeremy Jones, of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, noted that "Anyone who wants to form a political party is perfectly entitled to do so. "Reading the platform of the proposed party, it is doubtful it would attract very many votes, but that is no reason to stop it being registered". The 'Best Party of Allah in Australia' has applied for local registration as a political party and aims to go national when it can sign up the required 500 members. The party's website defends insurgencies in countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine as legitimate and labels the US-led coalition, including Australia, as criminal and claims that "Islamic militancy has only always been used as a defensive and never an attacking measure." Adding that "The insurgency will not stop until the invaders acknowledge their mistakes, apologize, compensate, leave (with tails between their legs just as they have left Vietnam) and punished for their crimes."
