维多利亚伊斯兰理事会取消国会议员埃文·穆赫兰德(Evan Mulholland)在Bondi海滩攻击事件后所指称的仇视伊斯兰教言论的演讲席。
Islamic Council of Victoria cancels MP Evan Mulholland’s speaking slot over alleged Islamophobic remarks post-Bondi Beach attack.
维多利亚伊斯兰理事会撤销了邀请自由党议员埃文·穆赫兰德在开放清真寺日发言的邀请,并列举了对穆赫兰德总理马修·盖伊和议员雷尼·希思在2023年12月邦迪海滩恐怖袭击后发表的议会讲话的关切。
The Islamic Council of Victoria has rescinded an invitation for Liberal MP Evan Mulholland to speak at Open Mosque Day, citing concerns over recent parliamentary remarks by Mulholland, Premier Matthew Guy, and MP Renee Heath following the December 2023 Bondi Beach terrorist attack.
理事会称这些评论宣扬仇视伊斯兰教,歪曲穆斯林社区,并包括未经核实的关于抗议和理事会领导的说法。
The council alleged the comments promoted Islamophobia, misrepresented Muslim communities, and included unverified claims about protests and council leadership.
Mulholland为自己的记录辩护,并谴责仇恨言论,而理事会最初发表公开声明,指控议员们助长分裂,然后出于法律关切撤回分裂。
Mulholland defended his record and condemned hate speech, while the council initially issued a public statement accusing the MPs of fostering division before retracting it due to legal concerns.
这一事件加深了维多利亚自由党与穆斯林社区领袖之间就如何解决恐怖主义、言论自由和社区关系等问题的紧张关系。
The incident has deepened tensions between the Victorian Liberal Party and Muslim community leaders over how to address terrorism, free speech, and community relations.
