Various kinds of striving. To get away from the war that was happening at the top. And they came to restart their life. As a margaret when i first arrived at this rally i like it i i struggled. It was very difficult. I wanted to give us the data but it. Was a part of the beginning so much like there is it forced a lot. For us. For decades lebanese families come to astray to build a better life and escape the destruction of. That many and demonized in a new land and. To. Get rid of this multiculturalism the first that is kind of god awful and then after fifteen years of immigration from lebannon anglo and arab astray leah is divided by the first gulf war theyre being confronted with a choice between doing either our own restraint because up to now the multicultural story is both. You know arab first. I already answered this question are going to struggle through this very moment all the stores trailer and i shouldnt be asked about this. On modesty tweets if theres a study ill tell you the about the book about this as well. In the one thousand nine hundred. Eighty criminal minority become drug dealing gangsters defying the will lose games will be watched. In two thousand and one. Terrorism raises fears that arab australians are an enemy within the son of a terrorist or the rival you know about five years later and our intention explodes into one of the most infamous rice riots in a strange industry dont you accumulate to buy into the weaker that now that you have been in the eye for shock effect for state t. V. Its for people converged on print of page to know. What happened on that sunday in court all of it is a black or for a country. Im i live in a. Z. One stone is what im on it none i am a straw man i am lebanese i am muslim up a majority im a child im all that i want this is a story of what its like to be lebanese and colas trying. We are striving and this is our homeland it says where we belong and this is what we have. To. Resit inside out of an outbreak of violence here which they blame on local gangs. Growing up in punchbowl was very ugly. Odd that in the hurried. On didnt know how to run. And i was born in australia. As a young teenager in the late one nine hundred ninety s. That email as knowledge of a stranger is confined to a suburb demonized by the media as a center of middle eastern crime. Where my family came from them on their move to the punchbowl area. On work because they looked they looked arab they looked different they sounded different. But why destroy us would be like you guys dont understand our language. Bugger off go by car and we dont want you here. They thought seclude all slowed segregated. For a brief period zacky goes to punch ball boys high. When many of lebanese astray in background feel outsiders in the country of their birth. Also excluded also away from. The standard of society. Also rebel. Because of the know what it meant been a spell. On you that i was an arab on you that i was middle eastern man yours along. When hes thirteen years old that his confidence is shattered by the death of his not her are there not knowledge that my mom passed away even though she was. Did and confirm did by the doctors and nurses it is sink in. This is one mom this is my mother is the one that. Brought me to this world she gave birth to me she looked after me she finished gave me milk and everything and now all of a sudden shes gone. And i said most of when i was looking at her looking at a on her deathbed. Take me with you. Dont leave me in this cruel world. Four years later his father passes away. And i knew that i was all on my own. Its just me both the world thats the truth. Emotionally isolated suffering from the death of his parents zack emailer is on the path to becoming the first a stray in charged under new laws to combat terrorism. Every nation in every region now has a decision to make either you are with us. Or you are with the terrorists. The enemy in the war on terror was to be ready for this long. And very quickly the word radical disappeared and in the popular mind terror was associated with islam and muslims most of whom in australia were lebanese muslim sydney will have no use. For potentially a direct and immediate enemy. Who are treated like were all suspects we were all under suspicion. I remember i was walking home from school from the bus stop and this was just around when september eleventh happened and i remember a man spat at me. But i really did a good face by that it didnt affect bin anyway i just thought that was his issue and he was ignorant but as the daughter of Community Leader general rifi. Is soon aware of what the attacks mean to live an easy astray and all of a sudden we are being victimized vilified and marginalized due to the actions of somebody somewhere who believes a certain thing and has a grudge against a certain nation and all of a sudden that impacts on me and partly what i observe poster think and the type of person that i am and it does this. By getting that. That negative perception from the Wider Community also makes the question what is it then to be in a stroke. We become very paranoid about neighbors we start questioning them we start interrogating them as possible threats and dangers and in the process we distance them from our songs we say to them the film thats important about you now is you live in these missed or youre muslim thats not your strain him its thats not longer a power no longer important. What we feed. And fear turned to aggression is encountered by actor and film director George Basher on his way to work the morning after nine eleven. I went. To pull up to a musical it was up in front of me and just cuts me off at the. And he looked at me with a look. And his terrorist. You know really i wanted to rip him out of the car and just believe in dallas that he. Had two good sisters thought was there that thats what he wants im not going to give you no satisfaction it. Does it might. Say youre honestly see you on the pitch well you have it. Doesnt bother me. A bit a materialist. Said i was strong as much as you are chimp. Branded the enemy within the loyalty of lebanese astray and is questioned like never before. And zacky mela begins to see the vilification as one more reason for his own happiness or loss but my parents ever live near those no one else around sitting at home with mind the pressure on a figure out what to do tomorrow and i feel compelled to be a part of this soap or war on terror. You can call it radicalism you can call it fundamentalism extremism are call it someone calling for help. Is effect on our community was very intense. After september eleventh. The young people have been under a different kind of fluids. Its no longer they get the rich quick no longer drug no longer had a word its even worse than that it was a religious radicalization. Zacky mela is one of many vulnerable young lebanese astray and men in punchbowl. But one of the very few who sees extremism as the answer to the despair and isolation. He spends long hours in a random search for enlightenment. When he doesnt find what hes looking for at the lake in the mosque he seeks out radical clerics for advice. I wanted to find out. Why we have muslims. On. Engaging in acts of dollars with a target and applying whether its blowing up an embassy with blown up and killing others with you all at no where are they getting this audiology from where is it coming from. A lot of these newly found religious leaders. Who have no formal teaching have no formal training who have no qualifications whatsoever their way of preying on formidable young people and a lot of people with a mentally unstable. Right then those just pretty much dead in the in the brain i was detonated. On that advances i had some comfort. It was my warning just a massive explosion. Feeling in my ear and one year on from nine eleven. Eighty eight a stray ends lose their lives in the bali bombing. Once again the lebanese a strain community feel demonized by the media. The bali bombings bring that home global violence home to a strong ends for many Young Australians kuta beach is almost like an extension of bhandarkar nala. To have been attacked and destroyed there is extraordinarily shocking. Theres a sense in which anger about islamic sure is now to mr kite it now its at home and people are really angry. Thats when we felt the terror has hit. We govern ised or what if its. And support of those victims and we did a lot of good work at that time. Now unfortunately the media again and again. Did not see us as a victim they saw us also at the same time as part of the problem rather than the solutions. I went through a september eleventh the bali bombings the london attacks we are the generation of News Headlines we are constantly reacting and being poor as a microscope are constantly having to justify ourselves place ourselves in boxes change ourselves from the mold start off on the back full convince the world a few we are all that while trying to maintain a normal lifestyle. In this climate of fear zacky chooses the wrong moment to play the part of jihad warrior. He applies for a passport to fly to the middle east saying he wants to make a prospective bride in lebanon. Alarm bells start ringing at the astray and Security Service a zero the sort of one day to give me a phone call to call me up and say listen were from this trojan Security Intelligence organization we want to speak to you about your past but up location or there is no easier was. Who are you guys never heard of use of the foot of the cia are you the cia. We have this Security Intelligence organization and when it is speak to you immediately. And then an agents waiting for me outside size one im zacky malar this was rock this is hollywood. This is what i want. And here it is and this where it begins. A lonely teenager has finally got the attention he craves. But beyond malice fantasy fee is a spreading that a strain borne terrorists could threaten a nation. Thats as wild suspicions spreads the Lebanese Community feels under attack. As the war on terror rages a strain borne zacky mela is depressed and stacking shelves in the local supermarket. But to the Intelligence Services hes a potential terrorist. I was damn stupid and educated i was a fool rebellious. Im sitting in all these questions whats your view of. Whats your view about Osama Bin Laden do you support terrorism. A thinking of participating in in violence or certain opposite but on the other hand if jihad is declared. As one teenager enjoys his fifteen minutes of fame the Lebanese Community feel the brunt of new antiterrorist laws. As part of the war on terror at home a strain in acts Something Like fourteen different places of legislation which are good towards increasing the power of government to prevent and control terrorist organizations in terrorist acts we were quite a fright. Of the implications of such laws on our daily living we also were afraid that the young people who might have been influenced one way or the other may says you are wrong thing they may do the wrong thing or even thing the wrong thing. I accept that there is a feeling in the community that thoughts were going to be promised but thats not the reality we cant arrest and charge people for. Thinking something but not acting on it in any why we have to have solid acts committed by people before we would act in terms of charging them for criminal offenses. But the new laws make the community feel as if theyre being targeted. We suffered a great deal we could not trust that zoozoo new legislation will be elected to properly rush them through. The Security Services were in fact identifying small numbers of people who were thinking about planning to arista tax but the skyll of that behavior and the scale of the response were totally different. So the atmosphere becomes much more paranoid not simply much government but also much the community. At the start of the second gulf war the lebanese a strain community is increasingly accused of being sympathetic to terrorism after the north eleven situation of the it was there was probably two to three years after that i had a situation where a couple of Undercover Police rocked up at my workplace and said were going to speak to you after growing up in punchbowl south is a proud lebanese a strong. Now working in management so he said inside and apparently somebody suggested that i was a supporter of terrorism or funded terrorism. My first reaction was a laugh because i was very outspoken against the war in iraq and so on and i did call the radio many times to profess that. Somebody apparently had made the comply and they come out to investigate but i thought was laughable. The new legal powers and increased Police Activity inevitably target. This right if not the more the game is a paper from the foreign minister Alexander Downer who said we have formed the opinion that you are a long way to engage in conduct that not prejudiced the security officer. Or of our country. And i read the us there are still there is no what it meant. Malice passport is withheld because the authorities believe he could seek terrorist training in the middle east and the federal government seizes the opportunity to promote its antiterrorist credentials in the media. It came to the point where its on what walk out onto the streets people come to me and say you are the terrorist youre the g hardest or the fundamentalist or the extremists go back home youre walk we dont want you here. We wanted to go i was born here this is my country this is all on our. Isolated and increasingly paranoid zacky mela is getting attention beyond hi
