An application to council from Freshwater Planning to build a 300 student Islamic school at Mareeba in Far North Queensland has sent the local council, media and politicians underground.
Such is the perceived influence of the Australian Muslim lobby authorities are fearful of publicly discussing Islamic issues.
The application seeks consent to build a non-residential educational facility at a 28 ha site in six stages to be completed by 2041, located on the southern side of the town.
The Two Rivers Community School school would offer “educational and learning opportunities for students based on the rich farming cultural heritage of the Tableland’s region,” according to the rezoning application.
Unknown to ratepayers at the time a representative of the Muslim school proponents addressed Mareeba Shire Council late last year to outline their plans.
Member for Kennedy Bob Katter said he was unaware of the proposal and would meet with councillors next time he was in Mareeba to discuss the proposal.
The 28 ha block of former farmland is zoned Rural and has to undergo a ‘Material Change of Use’ examination to be decided by council, resulting in a rezoning of the land before any construction can take place.
Public objections to the rezoning can be made until the closing date of May 31.

Muslim school
in 2014
Ten years ago a similar proposal from an Islamic group created a flurry of opposition by ratepayers who organized a public meeting to discuss the large school and its potential impact on the community.
A meeting of 150 Mareeba residents was addressed by Standard Bearers Academy education spokesman, Imam Dylan Chown who explained the aim of the 1200 all-male student school was to to offer students of all religions enrolment in an attempt to allay the perception of a fundamental Islamic school.
A subsequent, somewhat hostile public meeting in 2014 rejected the $70 million facility and ultimately the proponents pulled out of the project.
An organiser of the 2014 ratepayers group was Vietnam veteran and retired farmer Alan Webb who questioned the need for such a school then and today when Mareeba was already serviced by first class public and private schools open to all religious denominations.
He said the ongoing riots, social upheaval and racial division occurring in Sydney and Melbourne between Palestinians and Israelis clashing over the Hamas-Israeli war, should be enough to alert the regions that any potential similar hostilities by ethnic groups were not welcome.
To gauge present community support for such a far-reaching, ideological educational facility Mr Webb said he would urge the council to undertake a survey of ratepayers before any approvals were given.
Cairns and Mareeba have experienced racial tension in the past when young Aborigines, whites and Maoris regularly clashed and to add young, possibly radicalised Muslims into the mix should not occur, especially when it could be prevented by authorities.
At the weekend a former LNP state member of parliament was attacked by Maoris near his Cairns home knocking him unconscious, leaving him with serious injuries after he was set upon by a shovel-wielding assailant.
Mareeba residents would be invited to a public meeting in the near future to discuss the Freshwater Planning consultancy application, said Mr Webb.
Freshwater Planning has been contacted for comment.

Honestly, a lot of people have voted no. Why raise taxes on something we don’t want?
Building something for the indigenous its their land. That’s fine, but this 100% against enough problems around we don’t need to bring the drama and cost to our Far North. There is already a housing crisis. Australia is becoming very un-Australian.
Under pro-Islamification policies of all Western governments , where things get really icky is when the government gets caught out in the Twitter headlights of Masjid funding.
Think of the commos running H.M. UK government / emirate and their 2.2 million pounds to the Green Lane Masjid in Birmingham. Imagine the ‘oh shit’ moment when the Green Lane Imams went viral on social media explaining the finer points of how to stone adulterous women. This is a ‘must know’ for a Sharia legal system.
It would seem that you can’t just pick up a rock and have a go. A trench must be dug, the woman has to be buried so high in the stoning pit. The Quran goes right into all the finer points. Islam has both religious and legal standards for this type of thing. Who knew?

Predictably the Poms cracked it over the Green Lane Birmingham Masjid. No amount of taqiyya could smooth things over.
🇬🇧 A Birmingham Islamic cleric explains how to stone a woman to death under Sharia Law
Many years ago I read an article about an oil-rich Sheik who set up or bought a Printing business. He changed some words in the Quran, to his own agenda, and then printed thousands of these books which he then distributed, free of charge, to everyone in Muslim countries.
These words would now be accepted as truth.
Did anyone here also read about this? I cannot remember the changes made, but I know they weren’t good, and if we look at the increase of antipathy towards the West maybe there is a connection.
Western nations that are enabling Islamification are enabling an Agenda for Caliphate and Sharia law. Do not turn Australia and other Western nations into Islamic states.

Pat from Vic: “One might observe that the Australian public school system is in the hands of cross-dressing societally dysfunctional woke gender-fluid transgender-obsessed child-grooming paedophile-promoting Luciferian Zealots. Does that qualify as a religious community?”
An organised, compulsory, ideological indoctrination system running with the zeal of satanic fanaticism and encouraging moral ambivalence, confusion and separation from reality ?
You mean something akin to what Jesus referred to as the Synagogue of Satan?
Yes, sure it qualifies. Absolutely, but it’s even worse, it’s not just promoting and indoctrinating kids into “diversity”, it’s FORCING “diversity”.
That is one big departure from the spirit of freedom, individuality and choice each of us is entitled to hold Holy no matter whose god claims what.
Woke politics must promote diametrically opposed religious death-cults. All part of DEI.

Hi Brendon we just dont want a rerun of the strife in Sydney or Melbourne and that started off rather innocuously 50 years ago. Editor
I have some Buddhist acquaintances, who are basically white middle class liberals hiding behind a pseudo-Buddhist veneer, who’ve never been anywhere, but think they know it all.
They were all for the destruction of their own diverse culture, citing the Buddha, blah, blah, until I mentioned what their leader said.
You could have heard a pin drop.

Dr – Good points.. I too have travelled widely, Europe, Middle East, Asia, US – and lived for a time in several other countries – this was in the 70’s and 80’s when the world was different. Things have really changed in many of these places now and I have no desire to go back to Europe or the US at all.
Most migration has been caused by wars when people are displaced and can no longer live well or to the standards they had before in their own countries that are now rubble – the Middle East being a good example of this.
So don’t blame the migrants… blame the greedy warmongers.
My own parents were refugees and we did not receive a warm welcome here either, even though blonde blue eyed, we had different surnames and were therefore wogs. My mother never had a close Australian friend here til the day she died because she still had a European accent.
I somewhat agree zzz
But I also differ on many points.
If people were actually more cosmopolitan, they would travel to enjoy the natural ‘diversity of the World,’ without having to import it. The end result of immigration will not be an increase in diversity, – it will be a ‘loss of diversity.’
Thirty years ago, travelling around Europe was a joy, every country was culturally different, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Spain, Belgium, The Netherlands, the Balkans, Scandinavia, and the Eastern Bloc, – all entirely different and linguistically and culturally distinct. Now every city [bar the Visegrads and the East] are culturally identical, the same multicultural vision everywhere, – what a complete opposite of ‘diversity.’
I’ve travelled around most Eurasian countries many times over, and lived in a few, I’ve covered most of Europe, and travelled around Turkey, Pakistan, Ladakh, India, Nepal, Central Asia, China, Siberia, SE Asia, HK, Philippines, Indonesia, etc, even the former Soviet Union, and I know where they are when I need a bit of cultural enrichment, – I do not need to import these countries like some tacky tourist souvenir into my own country, or other Western countries. in fact, it was only after several years of travel, that when I returned, I fully recognised and appreciated the difference and diversity of my own culture.
Home boys and girls are simply incapable of grasping this phenomenon.
The truth remains, that if mass immigration was ultimately natural and beneficial, it would have occurred peacefully aeons ago, and would not require its ‘forcing’ upon a host nation.
Why were the people of the Western host nations never consulted for their views on the matter?, why was there never any referendum?
@Pat from Vic…….everything you’ve said I’m in 100% agreement. Thank you.
Brendon Rholf
I agree with you on 9/11 and Iraq. I also agree with you on the state of the education system teaching degenerate lifestyles and the like. The answer to that is to home school or send your child to a biblically literate and bible believing private school if you are a Catholic or Protestant.
You say to ‘Go and ask a Muslim directly face to face about his religion or a local imam’. The Muslims I have talked to are quite ignorant about their deen just as a lot of Christians are ignorant about their scripture. An Imam, local or other, will tickle your ears with his dawah script and tell you what you want to hear. Without lies Islam dies.
The claim that Islam is the fastest growing religion is doubtful. The majority of Islam’s growth is attributed to high birth rates. This is being negated by the number of people leaving Islam in large numbers in countries like Indonesia, Iran and Pakistan. An example of this apostasy comes from an Islamic charity Save Maryam Project.

Individual Muslims may be nice people but Islam is a death cult and should be destroyed. The Quran and aHadith have no place in Australia.

Brendan Rolfe – Agree. Hatred against these people is so inbred now and its a shame to see how racist many Australians really are.. most have never set foot out of their own country. There is great diversity out in the world, many different countries have different cultures, traditions and customs and they are the most interesting.
Would there be a uprising if the school was run by Zionists or would that be antisemitic and therefore OK? I think that would be more of a worry.
Catholic schools can only be attended by Catholics, same thing. I was indoctrinated in one at the hands of the sadistic nuns.
It’s one thing to have cultural centres where people can enjoy their specific cultural interests.
But everyday schooling should not and must not be in the hands of ethnic or religious communities.
That’s just a formula and an opportunity for permanent religious or ethnic indoctrination into sectarianism.
And no! Diversity in such indoctrination does NOT strengthen us. Without some form of effective commonality it destroys us.
It’s so funny how people are so concentrated on the media brainwashing their views on Muslims and Islam. The evil rulers of the world have fooled u to believe 9 eleven was planned by so called taliban, as well as the Iraq invasion of so called weapons of mass destruction which over one million innocent were killed for no reason but just for America to get there hands and control of oil. Then u got Syria so called isis which came out of sky and were funded by the evil American government . Now Palestine/Israel they made out to be as yet again it’s the evil Muslims but is it really true? Look at history and the evil American government and Zionist who have ruled this world and rule all of the media content that is brain washing the world. I have very close relationships with my neighbours who are Muslim and I must say I trust them more than my own family😣. Ask yourself would u rather a school that teaches respect, morals, discipline etc or some bloody drag queen coming and running your government school. Go and ask a Muslim directly face to face about his religion or a local imam . Why is this religion growing so rapidly and many are converting as it is a pease and loving religion. Well they say there’s over 2 billion of them in the world that should say something .
Stop preaching hatred and please get educated for the love of Jesus ..

(stick “sgtreport” at the front)
Notice any familiar patterns here, folks?
It’s all LOCKSTEP, folks, all around the world.
They REFUSE to investigate or hold ANYONE accountable, folks, because ALL of the fake corporate “governments” and so-called “authorities” and “medical professionals” and mainstream media and the armies of shit-for-brains HIRED MERCENARIES are the very ones who DUNNIT.
The “investigators” ARE THE CULPRITS, and they’ll cover each others’ ARSES and kill and eat their own grandma and burn the WORLD down before they own up to what they did – because they have NO REVERSE GEAR, they’ve GONE ALL IN WITH LUCIFER, and they have EVERYTHING TO LOSE if they get held RESPONSIBLE for their EPIC MASS MURDER CAMPAIGN.
It’s DEMOCIDE, folks. And wouldn’t you know it, they’re all “just following orders”. Orders from their PAYMASTERS at the World Economic Forum.
And this is why God invented lamp posts, folks. To string up several MILLION Satanic baby-eating mass-murdering ARSEHOLES who think they own the world.
Dr. said – “In NZ the cratering economy is seeing a record exodus of locals…”
Thanks for the link, which confirms New Zealand’s INCLUSION in the Globalist’s LOCKSTEP immigration deluge across the entire Western world.
Also note from that article…
“The population surge has prompted the Reserve Bank to warn that the extra demand for houses and rental accommodation might add to inflation, while the government has labeled the situation as “unsustainable” because it is creating stress on infrastructure such as education and health services.”
Sound familiar, Australia?
Any pennies dropping yet in all the HOMELESS CAMPS? All while the FARMING INDUSTRY and ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE is being DECIMATED, the CASHLESS DIGITAL PRISON is being constructed all around us and FREEDOM OF SPEECH is being SLAUGHTERED by DELIBERATE “government” policy BULLDOZED over the TOP of us with neither CONSULTATION nor CONSENT.
It SHOULD sound familiar, because that’s EXACTLY what’s happening in Australia and Canada and Great Britain and the USA and all across the European Union. And it’s all happening RIGHT NOW, folks, SIMULTANEOUSLY.
It’s LOCKSTEP, folks. This is the Globalist PLAN, in EVERY Western country which has been PENETRATED and POISONED by the WEF’s Luciferian stooges.
Meanwhile, another little gem from that same article…
“Australian health authorities and the police have offered lucrative pay and employment packages to attract staff from New Zealand.”
IOW, unemployed Kiwis are being lured to Australia to fill out the ranks of the corporate foreign-owned granny-bashing child-molesting mass-murdering shit-for-brains HIRED MERCENARY GANGSTERS who impersonate Australian “police”.
Not to mention padding out the fake “medical” staffing in all the EUGENIC DEATH CAMPS that the fake corporate Australian “government” passes off as “hospitals”.
Hey, if you’re bailing out of ONE democidal regime, why not get on the payroll of the MASS-MURDERING PSYCHOPATHS in ANOTHER genocidal regime? Six of one, half-dozen of another, as they say.
In NZ the cratering economy is seeing a record exodus of locals, followed by an influx of immigrants [coming from Antarctica and the South Sandwich Islands I believe?].

Editor, cairnsnews said – “Unknown to ratepayers at the time a representative of the Muslim school proponents addressed Mareeba Shire Council late last year to outline their plans.”
… and the ratepayers have NO-ONE to blame but themselves.
On one hand, Councils are NOT government, they are CORPORATIONS with no more lawful authority over ANYONE or ANYTHING than your local Coles or Woolies supermarkets. So why are the ratepayers paying “rates” – you know, those UNSOLICITED INVOICES for which the council has NO LEGAL CONTRACTS to be issuing?
On the other hand, if we’re going to cede decision-making power to the BS corporation trading as a “Council”, then the ratepayers should either be MONITORING and GETTING ACTIVELY INVOLVED in whatever shit the so-called “Council” is getting up to, or otherwise SHUT THE HELL UP.
SILENCE IS CONSENT.
INACTION IS CONSENT.
And just BTW, why shouldn’t the Muslim community be permitted to establish their own private schools? Everyone ELSE seems to have that freedom. And while on the subject, do you REALLY want your children being indoctrinated in a woke LGBTQI+ Drag-Queen infested gender-changing climate-change cult public school system?
Places like Syria and Iraq and even Palestine had vibrant multi-denominational communities living and thriving in peace and harmony and prosperity before the Great Satan got involved.
So what’s OUR problem? And that’s a serious question.
Hint – who is pulling ALL THE STRINGS? Just recall that, after the fake corporate “government” PERSECUTION and BLATANT ASSASSINATION of the Train family in Queensland, the OFFICIAL AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT POLICY broadcast on NATIONAL TELEVISION is that Christians are TERRORISTS. Seems to me it’s not Australian Muslims that are the enemy.
Its called the ‘Balkanisation’ of the West.
Most mosques that are springing up like mushrooms throughout the West are funded by ME oil money, so maybe the school’s funding should come from here, instead of the local tax reserves?
The Mareeba Muslims who came to Australia (originally from Albania) after WWI would have seen the end of the Caliphate – a decisive defeat in which Australia as a young nation certainly played a most valiant role. From the Western perspective – this ended over a thousand years of Muslim invasions against the West and the tragedy of the Christian nations that were conquered by Islam and subjected to Sharia Law.
Europa will not forget the demands of the Emirates for the annual tribute of European slave girls from the conquered Christian nations. This is commemorated in cathedrals all over Europe, especially on the Iberian peninsula and in the Balkan nations. The algorithms ban this search because this is supposed to be a horrible libel the Christians have concocted against the Muslims – who are favoured in the Marxist culture wars. So search for this information as: Leyenda del Tributo de las 100 Doncellas – Diarlo de Asturias.
The Mareeba Muslims are farmers and with farmers and farming community you can not go too far from the Australian spirit no matter what your religion is. This is the great virtue and power of farming. In the discourses of Jesus of Nazareth he speaks of the Heavenly Father making the sun to shine upon the evil and upon the good, sending the rain upon the just and the unjust. This is one of the verities of farming. All farmers get this.
The farms of the Mareeba Muslims are generational farms. They have blood and soil. And it looks to me like they want to express their Islam in terms of their farming life and its relations with the larger farming community. And this is far preferable way to express Islam than, for example, after the manner of the man they consider to be the perfect man, their prophet Muhammad.
It is Islam as a religion which has not changed. Over the generations, the Mareeba Imams may have been able to cultivate an Islam that has been carefully adapted for these pioneering Muslim families – maybe a very basic and fundamental expression of the faith which in Mareeba looks like about 80% farming.
But as their numbers grow and their dawah becomes stronger in terms of the larger community, specifically the farming community, will it stay with a 5 pillars, farming model of Islam? I doubt it.
As a Roman Catholic who holds with the pre-Vatican II faith, if I lived up in Mareeba it would make me sad to stand with the Mareeba residents who oppose the school. But I would support them because I know that people (as a people) can be a lot better than their religion. And Islam is Islam.
Post the Communist Takeover and its global CoVID Operation, everybody who is serious about their religious / spiritual beliefs has to now home school. But Muslims all over the world get to be the exception (as the world’s fastest growing faith) because of the partnership between Eurasian Communism and Islam.

Inasmuch as i don’t agree with islamic schools, jewish only schools (like in Randwick) don’t get as much vitriol. Can we get european only schools while we’re at it?

He does not have the good of the future of our nation in mind. He wants to destroy us, convert us all to Islam, or lop off our heads. Read the 119 verses in the Koran that specifically order ALL moslems to convert or kill us if we refuse to pay their mafia standover money, the Jizya,
If Mareeba lets this rubbish go ahead, that’s the end of FNQ. The bastards breed, and their aim is to out-breed us and eventually take over through sheer weight of numbers. If you allow their kids to be indoctrinated in their vile crap you will only have yourselves to blame for what comes next.
Just this morning we saw a bakery in Sydney had made birthday cakes for a 4 year old that were decorated in the colours of Hamas! A 4 y/o! They are breeding like flies under our noses, and all our politicians can do is express some feigned outrage, but keep bringing them into Australia by the 10’s of 100’s!
