Those sinister men of no appearance continue their Sydney crime spree:
A 16-year-old girl was tailed by a car full of men before being dragged inside and assaulted in Sydney’s west last night, police say …
The three men involved in the attack were described to police as having dark “mullet-style” hair cuts.
One was believed to be aged 20 to 25, 170 centimetres tall and clean shaven, police said.
The police press release said a little more than that:
Police are seeking three men described as being of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean appearance, with dark “mullet-style” hair cuts. One of the men is believed to be 20 to 25-years-old, 170cm tall and clean shaven.
In another case, men of no appearance were pursued by police of no description:
Shortly after 11pm police officers pursued a Ford Territory four-wheel drive believed to have been involved in the attempted carjacking in nearby Bass Hill, but lost sight of the vehicle.
And here’s the relevant police press release:
Shortly after 11pm the other car believed to be involved in the attempted carjacking, a Ford Territory 4WD, was involved in a pursuit at Bass Hill involving officers from the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad.
Even when the appearance of the no-appearance gang is mentioned—as in this weekend item—things remain unclear:
Police have released images of two men wanted for threatening a mother and her eight-month-old baby with a knife in Sydney’s inner-west …
Police today released two images of the men wanted over the attack.
All three are described as being of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean appearance.
They spoke both Arabic and English to the woman.
As reader Shadow Minion notes: “I can’t say I know too many Greeks who speak Arabic.”

- This is appalling. Muslim men must be made to take responsibility for their behaviour and attitude toward women. And I mean all Muslim men. If the so-called moderates sit by and do nothing about the ethos toward women within Islam then they as bad as the rest.
Islam treats women as second class citizens who are responsible for the sexual crimes of men. In the West Bank a couple of years ago a Palestinian baby was raped. She was then left to bleed to death by the side of the road by her parents because she had bought shame upon her family.
This fucked up culture does not belong here.
- Apparently the perps had mullet style hair cuts
If for nothing else, a perfectly good reason to be arrested.

- I understand that the point of this post is to mock the PC sensitivities of the SMH and the willingness of that newspaper to withhold information from the public. We’ve seen enough similar examples to conclude that there’s a conscious effort being made to shield us from information about crime for which MOMEA may be responsible. To establish that this is the case, of course, involves noting all the relevant instances of selectivity in presenting the facts. However, it should be borne in mind that any group can be made to look bad if attention is paid to every example of bad behaviour coming from that group.
My point is just that posts like this should not be treated as providing any evidence for a Muslim crime wave, or Lebanese refusal to integrate, or Islamic social backwardness, or any other such phenomena. Evidence for those things would have to be found elsewhere.
Whats the appropriate penalty for this crime under sharia?
Behead the girl?
No, I think stoning more befits the crime.
Sidney west sounds like a rough part of town. You have special squads for Middle Eastern organized crime, huh. This is a big problem?

- Steve, I think what this post is getting at is this selective reporting, I suppose in an effort to stop ethnic tensions erupting again, by certain media outlets selecting what information the public is grown up enough to deal with, usually doesn’t work…
There are other groups that often get this sort of protective treatment as well that are often overly represented in the crime statistics, and all it makes me think is that if the media aren’t going to give me the facts, then I will start assuming things…
In which case my assumptions maybe wrong and in fact paint a worse picture than what actually exists… But I am not going to stop thinking and judging and forming opinions and stick my head in the sand just coz certain media types might not like my take on reality or think i’m not broad minded enough to handle the truth, and so they would do better to just give me the facts and at least let me have an informed opinion….
As to the other points you make, senisble people don’t take one post or one story, and start thinking their is a Muslim crime wave, or a refusal to integrate. What they do is look at the facts over a period of months or years and start drawing conclusions from them… (something that is pretty difficult to do if some media elites think they will filter out certain items and just spoon feed the public some generic vanilla style of news which offends and informs no one)
All races and creeds and religions commit crimes and cause problems, what I assume most people would do is match up how many problematic issues arise from them, especially how over represented some groups are in comparison to the proportion they are of the overall population, then contrast that to how much good they do, how many contributions they have made to society and what value they add to Australia…
If at the end many people tend to conclude that certain groups (and I mean whatever group fits the bill) are loud mouthed squeaky wheels, who may or may not transplant all their former problems into their new homelands, disrespect many local laws and civil norms, and in many ways contribute sweet FA while extracting plenty of welfare like parasites, then undoubtedly a few opinions are going to be formed which some our liberal media elites don’t subscribe to…
If the truth hurts so friggin be it… Reporting the facts never got anyone in trouble… And once we then have the facts you can then move to what actions do we want to take to rectify it….
- Ummm, I think everyone is missing the point, it adds nothing to state the bad guys ‘were of middle eastern appearance’. The middle eastern bit is automatically added by the reader as soon as they talk about a crime, sort of like saying, ‘it was a two wheel motorbike’. It saves a lot of time, newspaper print, etc to only add the ethic back ground IF the crim is non-middle eastern as this is a much rarer event.
- #18 I think these things get automatically added or assumed if the public start feeling they aren’t being given all the facts… If they do have some confidence in what they read or hear, they are probably more likely to try and find out the facts and then draw conclusions…
But journalists and reporters shouldn’t try and hide a problem by manipulating the truth, just coz they don’t like to admit there is one, or they feel the public aren’t mature enough to handle the truth…
- I spent some time this afternoon Googling:“Ethnicity and crime”;“race and crime” and “Muslims and Crime”. Checking through the results the following is apparent. 1. The statistics that are available are old and fairly meaningles due to both the reluctance to report ethnicity/religion by police and courts and also to the very coarse groupings of types of crime. For example a young Muslim male may rape and torture or he may get into a bar fight. Both will be reported under violent crime.
It seems to me that there may be nothing extraordinary about the rate of crime of Muslim males in Australia compared to say Vietnamese or Aboriginals but there is about the fact that much of this crime is perpetrated on groups outside of their own. The other factor is how horrific these crimes are and the attitude with which they are carried out.
- Look,
like any SMH report, you have to do as its reader base does and de-construct it.
Firstly, think, who reads the SMH? Where do they live?
To its ‘informed’ reader base, there are cunning clues to show that it wasnt ‘us’ who did it. For example, ‘Mullet’, ‘Bass Hill’ and ‘Ford Territory’ are the obverse of ‘lesbo-chic’, ‘Darlington’ and ‘Prius’.
So long as this sort of reality ‘happens somewhere else’ what do SMH readers care? Only that to have stated some other facts pertinent to the cases would have been ‘racist’ and worthy of yet another ‘anti-Howard’ rant.
- The othe week the Age had some your say blog going on how people can be arseholes on aeroplanes (novel topic eh). One post mentioned something about being stuck next to an Indian bloke: funny thing was this had nothing to do with him being a prick.
But that’s OK I guess, I mean Age readers couldn’t be racists.
- i’ve been reading with interest at how gang-rapes by moslem/arab/middle-eastern-appearing lads have become quite the epidemic in the european countries they’re busy colonizing. the ladies & lasses over there are being raped in large (and growing) numbers for some time, now.
the media in those places don’t say much about it, for obvious reasons, …. but it happens every day. (if you want to investigate, a good place to look is “malmo, sweden”, followed by the phrase “taking turns”)
and now, via this fine blog, i see that it’s going on – on a regular basis – in fair Oz, which grieves me greatly. i have no doubt that aussie men will snap & take matters into their own hands (a lovely, symmetrical pyramid of “middle-eastern-appearing” skulls deposited on the doorstep of the local mosque?) long long before their timid swedish brothers ever will. (i fear the swedes never will, actually: ‘mustn’t offend!’)
the question is, when? ‘cause it’s not going to stop….tick tock, tick tock.Posted by jimmy quest on 2006 08 29 at 02:43 AM • permalink
- #11 SteveGW, I understand your concern. However, the reality is that there is a crime wave due to particular ethnic groups in Sydney, most notably Lebanese immigrants, but this is an uncomfortable fact that sections of the media won’t acknowledge.
I read the linked-to article in the SMH. Before Tim picked up the story, I knew, without anyone telling me, the ethnicity of the criminals. Tim’s post held no surprises in that regard.
A couple of months ago I read about a family on a walk on the headlands at Bondi. They were held up at gunpoint by a group of young men. As the crime was described, I had deduced the ethnicity of the perps before I finished the article. It turned out I was right on that one too.
In fact, every time I read about one of these outrageous crimes, I accuratly deduce the ethnicity of the men who committed it and I can tell you roughly which part of Sydney they are from.
So you tell me how I know such things.
Either I’m psychic, or we’re experiencing an ethnic crime wave.Posted by daddy dave on 2006 08 29 at 03:02 AM • permalink
- #24 #25 the selective use of descriptors in the article misleads the reader about the cultural background of the perps. Unless you add that they are MOMEA, you’d conclude that those ignorant John Howard-supporting bogan Westies had been at it again. This fits in fine with the bigotry of the eastern suburbs SMH reader.Posted by daddy dave on 2006 08 29 at 03:12 AM • permalink

I wish that man would go away.Seems fairly close to the SMH version of crime reporting.

They wont be there again today,

#11 SteveGW, I understand your concern. However, the reality is that there is a crime wave due to particular ethnic groups in Sydney, most notably Lebanese immigrants, but this is an uncomfortable fact that sections of the media won’t acknowledge.Daddy Dave, make that MUSLIM LEBANESE, please. I have raised this point before, and will again, but the Maronite Christian Lebanese are NOT the same as the Muslims, despise them, came out here to get away from the bastards, and are not to be confused with them. The Christian lebanese integrate in to Australian society extremely well, tend to run a lot of small businesses and employ people, and don’t really like welfare. They have a strong work ethic. Like any community, they have their normal share of dirtballs (who doesn’t?), but they have nothinglike the dole-bludging, ‘you dhimmi’s owe me a living’, pack-raping, honour-murdering barbarian attitudes and views of the Lebanese Muslims (especially the Shia – thanks, Bob bloody Hawke).
MOMEA = Muslim of Middle Eastern Appearance

- A current affair Channel 9 this evening. Muslim parents removing their children from music lessons because it is against the teachings of islam. Maybe music helps remove hatred from the Heart and we would not want that. They would rather teach this shit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ6LLvbz95E&eurl;
- But are they m.. m.. mmm episcopalians or presbitarians, that’s what I want to know.
As for #11, Steve, these posts make a mockery of the authorities’ head-in-the-sand attitude, which only brings them into disrepute amongst the populace by hiding from the blindingly obvious.
#17 makes the point that by NOT reporting, the possible erroneous conclusion may well be drawn by Joe Public.
A broad spectrum of society indeed.
In Canada this censorship occours with Aboriginal crime, particulalrly in the prairie provinces, and Jamaican males in Toronto (who have a prediliction for gun popping).
Any attempt to discuss these issues is shouted down with cries of racism, prejudice and victimhood.
This will only make matters worse. I think, therefore, that it is essential to mock the emperor’s clothuing.

- It isn’t the ethnicity, it is the religion—which is just as intractable a problem to fight as anything having to do with race. We are supposed to be tolerant of religious differences, just as we are supposed to tolerant of racial differences. The problem comes when we are tolerant because of racial or religious differences, regardless of the actions involved.
- I did read a blog which referred to accusations that certain groups were over-represented in vehicle stealing convictions. The usual hobby horses of racism etc, were trotted out and given a good flogging.
The police trialed a numberplate/security camera software that used the extensive network of CCTV cameras on Britaish roads. These would match numberplates of vehicles reported stolen automatically and police would get the drivers.
Guess what? The number of “certain ethnic groups” overrepresentation stayed the same….

- The ethnic descriptor is useful if used in conjunction with other descriptive information – e.g. height, hair colour.
It might prompt a member of the public who observed some obnoxious MOMEA in the vicinity of the crime to also recall items of clothing that were wearing, or enable the police to pinpoint possible CCTV angles.
The sad thing is that the people who endeavour to censor this type of information believe strongly that no one ethnic group is any worse than another.
I used to work in a field where I was exposed to more of what “really happens” than the average joe. I used to get astonished when lefties would question my perception of this problem despite knowing full well the legitimacy of my knowledge.
The conclusion: lefties are so fixated on their ideological beliefs that they can’t possibly fathom that the world is in reality different.
- It’s those damn Billy-Ray Cyrus impersonators again
Actually, if you look at this picture of Billy-Ray you will notice that there is nothing unusual about the hair above and behind his ears. His style might be considered ‘traditional mullet’.
Various MOMEAs I have seen in the flesh (while shopping in South-Western Sydney), in newspaper pictures (following their arrest for alleged involvement in crimes such as rape) and on security camera footage (following last summer’s riots) do not wear a traditional mullet. These guys cut a wide arc of their hair, above and behind their ears, very closely. It’s very distinctive. Maybe that is a ‘muslim mullet’. Or maybe it’s a ‘muslim gang member mullet’.
Something else that interests me about all this is that years and years ago, long before Lebanese migration started, gang rapes were common around Chullora and Bankstown where so many MOMEAs now live. “Never get in a car with boys,” my parents told me over and over.
Then the Housing Commission built all those dreary suburbs around Green Valley and the rapes started happening out that way. I presume it was badly raised bogans doing it in those days. But now the badly raised bogans seem to have given up on gang rape and assorted other criminal activities of the serious kind. At least I can’t recall hearing about bogan criminality of that sort since Anita Cobby and Janine Balding were murdered.
I wonder if there is just so much space in a community that can be occupied by wicked young men. Could it be that bogan criminals have abandoned their turf to MOMEA ones because the MOMEA ones are just so vicious and powerful? And if that’s the case could multiculti zealots be responsible for making it possible for the MOMEA gangs to become so powerful? See Tim Priest’s 2004 article in Quadrant.
Not that I’m interested in seeing a resurgence of bogan criminality. I want them all locked up.

- I recall some years ago there were several drownings at Australian beaches. The people drowning were foreign tourists. An organisation which was responsible for tourism (Tourism Australia?) wanted to look at the results of all the beach rescues carried out by life savers to see which groups of tourists were the most at risk so that these tourists could be targeted on flights coming into Australia; the dangers could be explained in their own language on the flights and pamphlets could be produced. It was thought that this would prevent drownings at the beach.
Well, this whole idea fell flat on it’s arse; the surveys carried out have NO information on the ethnicity or origin of tourists who find themselves in trouble at the beach. Apparently the information required was not taken because the powers that be didn’t want to seem ‘racist’ by pointing out ethnicity.
Oh, and in Sydney if anyone of “Middle Eastern Appearance” seen committing a crime is Christian I would be very surprised!
- Just as a matter of interest, when I lived in New Zealand a similar invisibility was imposed upon Maoris and Pacific Islanders. It was, however, widely recognised as a piece of ‘fake sensitivity’ and everybody believed that if there was not an explicit ethnic disclaimer then the person of interest was one of that ethnicity. Perversely, this probably meant that they were held responsible for even more crime than they should have been. (As far as I can recall, it has been like that since the 70s.)

- meanwhile an off duty cop on her way to work-who stopped at a deli to buy lunch-was dragged out of her car and beaten up by A female accompanied by A male (the fact that they were aboriginal was not mentioned) however the ABC were forced to show an identikit -indigenous woman.She was hit in the face with a hammer.Apparently when the young,new cop said she was a police officer they beat her up worse.
There has been a spate of violent assaults recently by indigenous offenders,quite a few every week.It has got so the listener/watcher automatically assumes who it is.
- #36 MarkL, you are right. i stand corrected. The large Christian Lebanese community in Australia cops a lot of shit because of the antics of members of the Muslim Lebanese community.
#49 no, that M word won’t get a mention because it’s not part of someone’s physical description. That’s how how it should be, but it’s an unfortunate situation for all those law-abiding Christian Lebanese in our communities.Posted by daddy dave on 2006 08 29 at 09:57 AM • permalink
- Hmmmm.
For these muslims the acts of rape they commit isn’t just an attack on some poor defenseless girl. It’s an attack on the Australian people. On the Australian country. Like most rapes it isn’t at all about sex. It’s about an expression of power and contempt.
Frankly if you Aussie’s don’t start hanging these bastards you’re going to have start dealing with them on the quiet.
