Boxer and Muslim Anthony Mundine opposes Australians fighting in Afghanistan and says the United States brought the September 11 attacks on itself.

The outspoken Mundine, who will fight for a world boxing title later this year, said Australians should not be involved in the war against terrorism.

"Do I support it? No," said the former rugby league star, who demolished Guy Waters in a super middleweight bout at the weekend.

"I really feel that it's not our problem," Mundine told Channel Nine's Today program.

"They call it an act of terrorism but if you can understand religion and our way of life it's not about terrorism.

"It's about fighting for God's laws, and America's brought it upon themselves (for) what they've done in the history of time."

Mundine's stance is consistent with most Muslims in Australia, according to Dr Mohsen Labban from the Supreme Islamic Council.

But while Dr Labban said most Australian Muslims disagreed with the government's decision to back the US, a survey revealed they were still behind Australian troops.

"We're discussing a political action. We believe this political move is wrong," Dr Labban said.

"It never solved the problems before and it's not going to solve them in the future. But we are completely against it.

"The survey says that 87 per cent of the Muslims support the Australian troops and 87 per cent are for Australian personnel overseas in that war because they are Australians.

"But they don't support the decision. The decision is different from the action."

Peninju Australia  Anthony  Mundane  berkata   kejadian September 11  di  Amerika itu  memang  sesuatu  yang lama  dinantikan oleh Amerika.

Anthony Mundine adalah seorang peninju yang beragama Islam  dan dia  menentang  ura-ura Australia menghantar  pasukan tertera  berperang di Afghanistan. 

Mundine  akan   bertarung untuk gelaran tinju  akhir tahun ini. Beliau berpendapat  Australia seharusnya tidak terlibat dengan  peperangan melawan  keganasan.

“Akah saya  menyokong usaha Australia itu? Tidak” Demikian pendapat bekas pemain  ragbi liga  Australia  itu. Beliau baru sahaja mengalahkan Guy Walters  dalam satu  pertarungan kelas super middleweight pada akhir minggu  lalu.

“Saya  berpendapat, ini bukan peperangan kita. "Mundine  memberitahu Channel Nine Today.

“Mereka menyebutnya  satu  tindakan  keganasan tetapi  kalaulah anda memahami agama  dan cara hidup kami, ini bukannya  satu keganasan.

“Ini ada kena  mengena dengan hukuman Allah. Amerika  sengaja  mengundang  perkara ini  dengan segala keganasan yang pernah dilakukannya  dalam  sejarah  dunia  ini”

Pendapat Mundine  adalah  seiras pendapat kebanyakan  masyarakat  Islam  di Australia, demikian kata  Dr. Mohsen Labban daripada   Supreme Islamic Council.

Walaupun  Dr. Labban berpendapat  kebanyakan rakyat Australia  yang beragama Islam  tidak bersetuju  dengan tindakan kerajaan menyokong AS, satu  kajian  menunjukkan  mereka masih menyokong  pengiriman askar Australia.

‘Kita membincangkan satu tindakan politik. Kita  percaya tindakan politik yang ini memang silap,” kata Dr. Labban.

“Tindakan ini tidak pernah menyelesaikan masalah dulu dan tidak akan  menyelesaikan  masalah itu  di masa depan. Kerana  itu kita  memang menentangnya .”

“Bancian itu  menyatakan 87 persen rakyat  beragama Islam menyokong  pengiriman  askar Australia. Tetapi mereka tidak menyokong keputusan itu. Keputusan adalah amat berbeza dengan tindakan.”
