Sydney's Hate Machine 2GB and Alan Jones
Prior to 06-06-2005 Jim Ball was denying the existence of abuse and desecration of Quran by the US forces and the same time he was injecting his never ending anti-Muslim, anti-Arab slurs and slanders. However at about 12.15 am of 06-06-2005 Jim Ball turned around and found valid reasons and grounds for the desecration and abuse of Quran.

Re: Faruque Ahmed vs Macquarie Radio
Dear Mr. Kerkyasharian,
Further to earlier complaints, please add the followings.
On the 11.55 pm, Sunday night (26-06-05) Reverend Bill Cruise Show, it was said that even Reverend Harry Herbert thinks Daniel Scott was wrong. Therefore; 2GB radio station's own evidence re-establishes the fact that my previous standing regarding Alan Jones interview with Andrew bolt and his subsequent opposition to the proposed Religious Vilification Law is wrong, immoral, illogical and futile. If he does not nurture any ill-motivation then he should not have any reason to fear for the proposed law. Very simple I thought!
On 15/05/2005 before the 10.00 pm news a 2GB contributor rang up Reverend Bill Cruise and spoke to him about the blatant anti-Muslim nature of night time presenter Jim Ball. During that discussion Ball did not deny such belligerent practice. Yet, I am surprised by 2GB management's blindness about it.
On 02-06-2005 after 1.00 am or 2.00 am news Jim Ball played the Andrew Bolt interview of Alan Jones and converted the whole night into on open season for attacking Islam and Muslims. Such an open season is not new for him albeit sad and tragic for us.

Dear Alan,
Further to my last communication to you, on the 11.55 pm, Sunday night (26-06-05) Reverend Bill Cruise Show it was said that even Reverend Harry Herbert thinks Daniel Scott was wrong. Therefore; your own radio station's evidence re-establishes the fact that my previous standing regarding your interview with Andrew Bolt and your subsequent opposition to the proposed Religious Vilification Law is wrong, immoral, illogical and futile. If you don’t have any ill-motivation then you’ve got no reason to fear for the proposed law. Very simple I thought!
Waiting for your reply.

Dear Ms. Vincent
Further to my communication with Mr. Alan Jones, the following will provide you with a much clearer picture of radio 2GB's shock jock's ultimate desire and intention: to incite hate against Islam and Muslim communities in Australia.
On 15/05/2005 before the 10.00 pm news a 2GB contributor rang up Reverend Bill Cruise and spoke to him about the blatant anti-Muslim nature of night time presenter Jim Ball. During that discussion Ball did not deny such belligerent practice. Yet, I am surprised by 2GB management's blindness about it.

Beside the manifestly more evidence that I have provided to you with before, I wonder why radio 2GB is so determined to inject anti-Muslim and anti-Islamic venom day in day out. Mischievously and ironically your station is simultaneously, vehemently campaigning against the proposed Religious Vilification Law. What folly- to what good purpose?

Dear Alan,
I am for free speech but against promotion of prejudice and bigotry; thereby inciting violence against any section of the community due to their sex, race or religion. I believe in freedom of expression but against manufacturing consent and opinion which is the norm of radio 2GB.
Beside my email below, I am in a position to provide you with 100s of examples to prove that your radio station and some of it's cruel shockjocks have been sucking the Israeli boot as if it were religion while insulting Muslims, Islam, migrants, Aboriginal, Arabs etc. without any valid reason whatsoever. The team behaviour of your lot make Julius Striker and Joseph Goebels merely boy scouts and Hitler like a holy man.
Most importantly, these shock jocks are hiding behind four walls and telephonists as they don't have a stomach and mentality to debate the issue.
I challenge you to replay the full segment of the above mentioned Bolt/Ball interview in all it's religious and racial vilification. Trust me Alan- drop your support for the futile and absolutely illogical opposition to the proposed Religious Vilification Legislation. Surely, we need such a legislation to seek protection from your collegue¹s stripe.
By the way, your incorrect, inappropriate and patronising comment regarding terrorism does not attract any answer due to a genuine fear of credibility to such a twist.
With thanks

Dear Faruque,
I'm in receipt of your extraordinary email. However, if you wanted to read something which was ill-motivated, hypocritical, hateful then just circulate copies of your misstated and inaccurate communication. It doesn't really merit any kind of sensible response. But whether you like it or not, Faruque, not all Muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are Muslims. And until responsible Muslims deal with the militants, you can expect Australians to feel a sense of outrage. And no protestation from you is going to be able to demolish that concern.
But if you keep your head in the sand, Faruque, it will eventually block out your eardrums.
With best wishes,
Alan Jones AO

Mr. Alan Jones,
Your ill-motivated and hypocritical interview with Andrew Bolt (Wednesday 1st of June 2005) appeared to me as a cruel and cunning Muslim bashing under the guise of 'free speech'. In reality, you and your radio station does not have any respect for free speech. You do not provide a right of reply to your victims.
Historically, you and your radio station were wrong many many times and found guilty of many offences in several occasions.
This occasion I am not going to comment about that 'hate merchant' Daniel Scott. I will rather explain to you (by way of example) why we need the long over due Religious Vilification Law in this state.
1. A few years ago, a non-Muslim person (possibly Jew, Zionist, agnostic etc.) took legal action to stop Christmas Carols from the state schools. Yet your station remained deafeningly silent (by contrast- if it had been say a Muslim playing the pedant) this particular time. In fact if I remember rightly the shock jocks of Sydney have twisted this incident as ammunition to attack Muslims - as if a Muslim had been the original pedant. 0h well you guys can't be to blamed for the five second memories of your audience I guess!
2. Shortly after that incident, another non-Muslim fellow (possibly Jew, Zionist, agnostic etc.) removed or relocated Bibles from his Stamford hotel chain. Again, 2GB hate merchants and their 'little ones' declared 'crusade' against Muslims and Arabs.
3. Have you ever stood up against Israeli war crimes, genocide's and other atrocities? Have you ever insulted the "Jewish" religion or people the way you lot insult Islam and Muslims, migrants, Aboriginal? Certainly not!
Therefore the society badly needs Proposed Religious Vilification law in order to seek protection from radio 2GB and people like you.
Thank you in advance.
Disgustingly Yours
