Why The Muslim Vote Campaign is a Glimpse Into a DANGEROUS Horrifying Future in Britain Australia & US

RADICAL Muslim Vote Campaign is On The Rise in Britain Australia & The United States

The Muslim Vote is an alliance of activist organisations that helped make a significant dent in formerly comfortable voting majorities. But it is not the only example of rising sectarianism in politics



Labour ‘clearly afraid’ of backlash after taking Islamic community for granted, Muslim Votes Matter says


One of the new organisations seeking to mobilise Australian Muslims at the next federal election has hit back at “almost farcical” attempts to discredit the movement, insisting the Labor government is “clearly afraid”.

Ghaith Krayem, a spokesperson for Muslim Votes Matter, said despite criticism from major party politicians and media, the movement was an “inclusive initiative that hopes to uplift representation for minority groups across the country”.

“There are hundreds of volunteers who have put their hands up nationally to join our movement and not just from Muslim backgrounds, but from minority groups who have been marginalised by our government for years,” Krayem told Guardian Australia.

Krayem, a former head of the Islamic Council of Victoria and former CEO of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, said Muslim Votes Matter was “independently funded” but he did not disclose details of donations received to date.

It was separate from another group, The Muslim Vote, but they would “collaborate on common objectives, just as we would with any other group that has common interests with us”, he said.

Both Muslim Votes Matter and The Muslim Vote have been at the centre of fierce political debate after the Labor senator Fatima Payman crossed the floor to support the immediate recognition of Palestine as a state. She quit the party two weeks ago.





Meanwhile, the Australian Financial Review argued in an editorial that “the rise of political Islam as in the UK & US would undermine the secular liberal democratic foundations of modern Australia”.
