Saya rasa itu merupakan suatu hal yg WAJAR dan memang pantas dilakukan oleh para penegak hukum Australia, karena hal2 yg demikian tdk akan ditoleransi di negara manapun di dunia ini. Dan menurut apa yg saya baca disini, tdk pernah saya menemukan kalimat yg menyatakan mereka telah dijatuhkan hukuman, yg ada hanya 2 pastor tsb hanya dianjurkan utk melakukan permintaan maaf secara umum terhadap para Musim Australia, dimana salah satu dr mereka ini (Danny Nalliah) menolak anjuran/putusan tsb dan merasa lebih baik dipenjara.

(Courtesy The Sunday Times) MELBOURNE, June 22, 2005 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) An Australian court on Wednesday, June 22, ordered two pastors to apologize for anti-Muslim remarks. Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) found Danny Nalliah and Daniel Scot of the Evangelical Order Catch the Fire Ministry guilty of vilifying Muslims made during a seminar in March 2002, reported The Australian daily. VCAT deputy president Michael Higgins said the two breached the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act by giving the remarks in speech, comments on a Web site and in a newsletter. They had described Muslims as liars and demons, accused them of planning to take over Australia and claimed that Islam was inherently a violent religion. The Religious and Racial Tolerance Act says a person must not incite hatred against, serious contempt for or revulsion or severe ridicule of another person or group on the basis of religious belief or activity. Judge Higgins ordered the two pastors to publish an apology on the Catch the Fire Web site, in its newsletter and in two metropolitan newspapers. Muslim organizations in Australia estimate the number of Muslims in the country at 350,000. Welcomed The ruling was welcomed by Australian Muslims, said The Sunday Times. "We're satisfied with the remedies," said Waleed Aly, a member of the Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV) executive committee. The ICV had lodged a complaint with the VCAT accusing the two pastors of violating the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act. "We only ever asked for modest remedies. We never sought any monetary compensation," Ali said. "We just hope commonsense prevails now and we can move on." The ICV is the umbrella organization of Islamic societies in Victoria and their sole representative body to Australian government and Australian community at large. It is a member of the Australian Federation of Islamic Council (AFIC), the umbrella organization of all Islamic councils in Australia. "No Apology" Adamant Nalliah described himself as a martyr for free speech, stressing he would go to jail before apologizing to the Australian Muslims, The Australian said. "We will go to prison for standing for the truth and not sacrifice our freedom and freedom to speak." Nalliah faces up to three months in jail and a fine of up to $7000 if he defied the VCAT order, which he vowed to challenge in the Victorian Supreme Court. The pastor also opened his salvoes at Victoria's vilification laws. "Right from the inception, we have said that this law is a foul law, this law is not a law which brings unity," he said. *************************************************************************** Berdikusi dg Santun & Elegan, dg Semangat Persahabatan.
