新南威尔士州总理克里斯·明斯(Chris Minns)发誓继续关闭一家发现宣扬种族主义和反犹太主义的班克斯敦清真寺, NSW Premier Chris Minns vows to keep closed a Bankstown mosque found preaching racism and anti-Semitism, despite claims it’s temporary.

新南威尔士州总理克里斯·明斯(Chris Minns)在联邦法院裁决Wissam Haddad牧师自2021年以来向犹太社区进行种族主义和反犹太教的布道后,发誓关闭班克斯镇Al Madina Dawah中心。 NSW Premier Chris Minns has vowed to keep the Al Madina Dawah Centre in Bankstown closed after a Federal Court ruled that preacher Wissam Haddad delivered racist and anti-Semitic sermons targeting the Jewish community since 2021. 法院发现三场2023年的演讲含有基于种族或族裔的“破坏性冒犯性”言论。 The court found three 2023 lectures contained "devastatingly offensive" remarks based on race or ethnicity. 该建筑物从未获准用于宗教用途,最近又重新分类用于医疗目的,但未经适当同意,被发现使用该建筑物。 The building, never approved for religious use and recently reclassified for medical purposes, was found to be used without proper consent. Canterbury-Bankstown市议会立即发出停止使用通知,并警告进一步强制执行。 The Canterbury-Bankstown City Council issued immediate cease-use notices and warned of further enforcement. 中心声称关闭是暂时性的,等待遵守条例。 The centre claims the closure is temporary, pending compliance with regulations. Minns说,作为打击极端主义的更广泛努力的一部分,主办仇恨言论的任何宗教网站都将关闭,包括切断公用事业。 Minns said any religious site hosting hate speech will be shut down, including through utility cutoffs, as part of broader efforts to combat extremism.
