Odfield is a resident of New South Wales in which an ISP hosts the offensive website

SYDNEY, August 17 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) - A Muslim lawyer has launched legal action to try to shut down a website linked to a former associate of Australia's right-wing firebrand Pauline Hanson, saying it breaches anti-discrimination laws by vilifying Muslims.

Melbourne solicitor Hisam Sidaoui is taking New South Wales State MP David Oldfield, one of the last surviving parliamentary representatives of the One Nation party founded by Hanson, to the Victorian state Civil and Administrative Tribunal, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP) Sunday, August 17.

Sidaoui said the offensive website breaches Victoria's Racial and Religious Tolerance Act and issued a statement at the weekend saying he decided to act because the website was "overtly offensive" and "vilifying in all aspects".

He said Oldfield reflected this by adding a disclaimer, warning that people viewing the site in Victoria may be breaking the law, after learning of the legal threat.

The website now does acknowledge that "viewing or downloading this site in Australia, in the state of Victoria, may break the laws of the state." 

The website, muslimterrorists.com, quoted "one particular Australian" as saying: "The biggest mistake a person can make is to think Muslims are people just like us - they are nothing like us."

Page headings include "Islamic Terror in Australia", "Muslim racists calling the kettle black" and "Muslim prayer breaks thin edge of the wedge".

Sidaoui said the website claimed there was a higher rate of birth defects in Sydney's inner-western suburbs where there is a large Muslim population.

"What's he saying, that Muslims are genetically inferior?" he said.

"I want an apology on that website and some sort of compensation. I want him to give money to a Muslim charity," Sidaoui said.

Oldfield, who said he and One Nation were no longer associated with the site "but stood by everything on it", challenged Sidaoui to prove anything on it was false.

He said the site was designed to inform Australians about Islam and terrorism.

"Mr. Sidaoui thinks the Australian government, the United States government, the British government and the Israeli government are terrorists," Oldfield claimed.
