Zia Ahmad The Sydney based Islamic Sciences & Research Academy (ISRA) will be opening a branch in Melbourne at the beginning of 2015 academic year offering their popular courses in Islamic studies locally to the Melburnians. ISRA, in collaboration with Charles Sturt University established the Centre for Islamic Studies & Civilisations (CISAC) in 2009 to provide a platform for cooperation between Australian Muslims and educational institutions in Australia. Now in its fifth year of offering degree programmes, ISRA held its second graduation presentation on Saturday 13 December at The Waterview, Sydney Olympic Park awarding Graduate Diplomas, Bachelor and Masters degrees to the successful candidates. The formal event was also attended by ISRA and Charles Sturt University academics, community leaders and families of the graduates where, in addition to brief comments by staff, the graduates also shared their feelings from the stage. ISRA graduates this year were from a very diverse background in terms of ethnic background, language, professions, religious training and ages ranging from early 20’s to 80’s. Usama Qazi, a Hafiz Quran from Melbourne got his Bachelors degree in Islamic Studies and Mohammad Sahu Khan, a lawyer/prosecutor from Canberra obtained a Masters in Islamic Studies. Razia Ghaznavi a mother of five was awarded the degree of Masters of Islamic Studies with distinction and will be publishing a paper with her supervisor Dr Derya

Sydney Siege: The community comes together Abu Anees Flower tributes continue to grow at Sydney’s Martin Place in memory of Tori Johnson and Katrina Dawson, innocent victims of the Sydney Siege by the sole perpetrator Man Haron Monis who was himself shot and killed early Tuesday morning 16 December. The siege inside the Lindt café lasted for almost 16 hours while police restrained themselves and negotiated with the gunman hoping for a peaceful resolution without any loss of life. However they finally moved in when gunfire was heard from inside and the shoot out resulted in the death of three people including the gunman and injuries to a small number of hostages and a policeman. As it turned out, the perpetrator was a sole disturbed and deranged person with a history of violence and a long criminal record with no connection to a terrorist group. The long siege and the ensuing media circus beaming continually live footage of the
area to the world kept everyone’s attention to the unfolding drama. The social media went into a frenzy. The outcome, tragic as it has been, also had its positive effects. The police, politicians, community leaders and even the media showed restraint and responsibility in dealing with the situation and in maintaining calm hoping for a peaceful resolution. Right from the start of the siege Prime Minister Tony Abbott, NSW Premier Mike Baird and NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione showed exemplary leadership urging all Australians to come together at this time of national trauma and avoid any speculation and jumping prematurely to any conclusions. While the siege was into its very early stage, the Muslim community leadership got together promptly to condemn the perpetrator distancing itself from any justification that the gunman could have claimed for his evil act. continued on page 2
