Muslim whipping in Sydney for drinking alcohol

A MAN charged over the whipping of a Muslim man as punishment for drinking alcohol has had his bail conditions changed in a Sydney court - because his parents don't want him living with them.

Wassim Fayad, 43, was arrested and charged earlier this week over the alleged attack in which a Silverwater man was lashed 40 times with an electric cable.

The victim, 31-year-old Christian Martinez, was allegedly restrained by four men who broke into his unit and whipped him as punishment under sharia law for drinking alcohol.

Fayad was granted conditional bail at Burwood Local Court on Wednesday.

The court heard four men inflicted the punishment for religious reasons.

Fayad was ordered to lodge $10,000 for his release and eventually left custody the following day.

On Friday, he reappeared before the Burwood court to appeal his bail conditions.

While he had been ordered to remain at his parents' Auburn address, they had told him they were not happy with him staying there, Fayad's lawyer said.

This is the root of the problem of muslim integration into western society. Whilst individuals can avoid alcohol without causing problems, when a whole community avoids pubs & bars, fails to have a drink & chill, never gets a bit pissed, never tells a mate "I fucking love you" & then throws up, never staggers down the street singing Monty Python songs, they are simply never going to be good citizens. :drunk:

Very true, Bill.

On a (only slightly) more serious note, it's been good to see the response from the Muslim community on this. Most of them think this guy and his mates are dick heads and the leaders have condemned his actions. It really seems we don't have anywhere near the level of sharia bullshit you guys in the UK have to deal with.

There was a seriousness to my point - central to British & Aussie history & culture, is The Pub. When I worked in the West Midlands (for non-UK bods, that's around Birmingham, Wolverhampton & the like), the local I drank at had amongst its customers, Hindu & Sikh Indians, Jamaicans, a bloke from St. Kitts, and a Nigerian, as well as the usual white folk from Walsall. All got on fine. There was no racism in that pub, no acrimony, no arguing, no discord. A Muslim family moved in next door & complained about having a pub in the vicinity. There was a large Bangladeshi Muslim community in the area. Of course, none were ever seen in the pub, and invariably, they had few, if any, white friends. Had they used the pub, even if they'd only drank tonic water or lemonade, they'd have been integrating in a way they never did otherwise.

Yeah, the "local" in the UK seems to be the equivalent to the "town square" in the rest of Europe. I don't go to the Pub much more, but in my experience the "local" culture has more or less long died here in Australia. Except perhaps for Melbourne. But then, I haven't spent much time in any cities other than Melbourne and Brisbane.
