Bolt Misquoted Quran
Audio File MP3
Monday 28 January 2013
In an interview with Chris Smith on Sydney’s 2GB radio on
Thursday 6 December 2012 Andrew Bolt stated that “the Koran
also records Mohamed wiping out a Jewish tribe and killing people
that laughed at him” (audio 0:45min).
Bolt, a columnist and political commentator with News Limited, was found guilty in 2011 of breaching the Racial Discrimination Act over two articles he wrote about Aborigines which were not written in good faith and contained factual errors.
JMA wrote to Andrew Bolt about his Quran quote pointing out that no such references existed in Islam’s Holy Book. Although he could not recall singling out the Quran as his source he conceded that he may have made an error.

Lakemba Two Worlds
April 13, 2013: JMA wrote to Trent Dalton about his piece in the Weekend Australian. Balanced and refreshingly insightful. An approach not often taken in coverage of issues related to Australian Muslims and citizens of Lebanese background.
Harmonious Existence
Feb 16, 2013: JMA wrote to thank Emma Partridge for her report - a welcome contribution to responsible engagement of communities in the media promoting harmonious co-existence. "Ms Smith said those who thought of Islam as a religion that oppressed woman had probably never had a conversation or cup of tea with a Muslim woman."

Peaceful Coexistence
July 27th, 2012: JMA wrote to Bernard Salt acknowledging his insightful analysis in The Australian on religion in the suburbs based on Census 2011. Particularly his comment on religious communities living harmoniously – a reality that is too often overlooked in the daily preoccupation with conflict in the media.
Behind the Burqa
June 15th, 2012: JMA wrote to Amber Petty, Columnist with Adelaide Now, regarding her piece highlighting that Islam and Muslims often unfairly receive bad press. "Your willingness to accept a readily available offer to be informed gives hope that the genuine goodness in humanity will help pave the way for a prosperous society for all Australians to enjoy," wrote JMA.
