VICTORIA'S peak Muslim body has lashed out at "hysterical" objections whenever plans for mosques go before local councils.

Islamic Council of Victoria board member Nazeem Hussain said there was an underlying level of Islamophobia in society and Muslims had to do more to educate people about their religion and mosque proposals.

"People are clearly fearful of Muslims and Islam, and it's easy to create that fear and hysteria in some ways," Mr Hussain said.

Several applications are in the spotlight, including a bid by an Afghan community group to build a mosque and community centre in Doveton, on the city's south-east fringe.

Mr Hussain said Islamic community applications often were met with hysteria not faced by proposals by other religious groups.

"It speaks to an underlying level of Islamophobia in society and a fear of Muslims moving into neighbourhoods and disrupting locals," he said.

Mr Hussain accused Catch the Fire Ministries pastor Danny Nalliah of creating community divisions by spreading false information about Muslims and the Koran in his opposition to the Doveton mosque.

But Mr Nalliah, who had a long-running legal battle with the Islamic Council over a racial vilification matter, said he had no issue with individual Muslims but objected to violent passages in the Koran.

"I am concerned ... because of what is going to be taught in the mosque based on what is in the Koran," he said.

...But you're handy with the pendulum? Why metal detector?

The US is in debt $15 trillion. George Bush JR during his time in office doubled America's debt.
How can the US possibly reverse the debt problem ? Something like 70% of America's GDP is going  debt.

A CYCLIST broke his arm and needed stitches in his chin and hand after he hit - at full tilt - a man sleeping on a bike path in the dark.

Demolition supervisor Kris Sharpe was cycling on the track from his home in The Gardens to work on Bishop St, in Woolner, when he hit the man at 5.25am.

"He was wearing black clothes, he had black skin, and he was on black bitumen," he said.

Mr Sharpe, 40, said his mountain bike had lights but he was riding without a helmet when he ran into the man near the Parap water tower.

"I hit him at terminal velocity. Flat stick," he said.

"I didn't have time to take my hands off the handlebars.


"My chin hit the ground.

"He was a big bloke. He screeched and it scared me."

Mr Sharpe's mates took him to hospital where he was treated for the broken left arm and needed six stitches in his chin and one in each knuckle on his right hand.

The sleeping man ran away.
