To get away from the war that was happening at the top. And they came here to restart their lives. 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 there is it for us the last. Few decades lebanese families come to a strange year to build a better life and escape the destruction of. That many a demonized in a new land. To. Get rid of this multiculturalism the first that is going to guide us all this time then after fifteen years of immigration from lebanon anglo and arab australia is divided by the first gulf war theyre being confronted with a choice between doing either. Because up to now the multicultural story is both. First. I already answered this question are going to start most of those are my old new stores trailer and i shouldnt be asked about this. On my odyssey tweets if theres a study ill tell you the about the blog about this as well. In one thousand nine hundred a tiny criminal minority become drug dealing gangsters define the only good games we believe was. In two thousand and one. Terrorism raises fears that arab australians are an enemy within but upon terrorism for the right you know about five years later and our intention explodes into one of the most infamous race riots in a strain in history dont go to the middle east to buy into the weekend it now that we have been in the eye for sure effect for society you have people converged on print up a chance to know. What happened on that sunday in court all of it is a black or for our country. Im i live in a. Z. One stone is what im on it none i am astronomy and i am lebanese i am muslim im up a majority im a child im all that i want this is a story of what its like to be live in ames and colas trying. We are striving and this is our homeland it says where we belong and this is what we have. To. Break it 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 waukesha they looked arab they looked different they sounded different. But why destroy us would would be like you guys dont understand our language. Bugger off go by car and we dont want you. There for secluded 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 strain. On you that i was an arab on you that always middle eastern manuals are wrong. When hes thirteen years old that his confidence is shattered by the death of his mother are there not knowledge that 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 cool world. Four years later his father passes away. And i knew that i was all on my own. Its just neighbors the world thats the truth. Emotionally isolated suffering from the death of his parents zacky mela 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 radical islam. 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 been eyes were therefore potentially a direct and immediate enemy. We were treated like we 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 didnt get fazed by that it didnt affect me in any way 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 lebanese 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 ive posted 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 struggle when. 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 finger at some point about you now is your live in these muscle your muslim us not your strain in us thats not longer a power no longer important. What we feel to pain. 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 pitch. And he looked at me you look. And he is terrorist. Really i want to rip him out of the car and just believe undoubtedly. Have to go just as thought thats what he wants im not going to give you no satisfaction it. Does it might. Say youre absolutely saved you on the pitch where you have it. Doesnt bother me. That a materialist. Settlers johns 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 lived near those no one else around sitting at home with mind the pressure i 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 or someone calling for help. Is effect on our community was very intense. After september eleventh where young people have been under a different kind of roots. 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 like on. Engaging in acts of violence with a target in applying whether its blowing up an embassy whether its blown up thank you and others with you all at no where are they getting this audiology from where is it coming from. A lot of these in new delhi found that religious leaders. Who have no formal teaching have no formal training who have no qualifications whatsoever their way of training on formidable young people and a lot of people with a mentally unstable. Right then those just pretty much dead in the in the brian i was detonated. On that advances i had some comfort. It was my warning just a massive explosion. Feeling in my backyard here 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 bond. To have been attacked and destroyed there is extraordinarily shocking. Theres a sense in which anger about islamic chair is now to mr kite it now its at home and people are really angry. Thats when we felt this 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 brothers in 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 we constantly having to justify ourselves place ourselves in boxes change ourselves from the mold start off on the back full convince the world of who 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 dreaded Security Intelligence organization. We want to speak to you about your past but up location ah there is no easy or was. I. Who are you guys never heard of use of the thought of the cia or you the cia. We had this trained Security Intelligence organization i wanted to speak to immediately. And then an agent waiting for me outside size one im zacky mala this was walk 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. 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 a local supermarket. But to the Intelligence Services hes a potential terrorist. I was dumb stupid and educated i was a fool rebellious. Im sitting in all these questions whats your view of the oil level. Whats your view about osama bin laden. Do you support terrorism. A thinking of participating in in violence or said no opposite but on the other hand if jihad is declared an art. 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 pieces of legislation which i geared towards increasing the power of government to prevent and control terrorist organizations intersects 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. Except 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 zoos to new legislation would be elected to properly rushed them through. The Security Services were in fact identifying small numbers of people who were thinking about planning to arista tax but 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. Year 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 wanted 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 my the comply and theyd come out to investigate but i thought was laughable. The new legal powers and increased Police Activity inevitably target. This right if a deploys not the game a piece of 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 a security officer. Or of a foreign 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 his drains. But now his jihad fantasy is starting to scare him. Out of the threat of the little more door saying. Jesus christ as your lord is your god get out of this country go back on. The gun. Those knowing that look after me. And within twenty four i was the new self falls counterterrorism unit right at my house and charge me for position of a illegal firearm. Then zacky makes the biggest mistake of his life. But will. Most ago although. And make a video and target and threaten them. Have been approved and belonging. To the station. Was still there let them know why was the necessary. In the video when you listen to it it makes clear threats that if you dont give him back my passport im going to take you host
