      Well assuming you have reached puberty, I'd say yes you can…
      Try to avoid thinking about Tracy Grimshaw, Julia Gillard or your Grandma.

  • Any Ozbargain people going should meet up! I'd go if I where in Melbourne.

    • I'll come and bring manoosh zaatar with me lol!

  • Please keep discussions on-topic (about the festival) and let's not get into religious debates.

    • +16

      That's like asking people to ignore the white elephant in the room standing in the middle of the room. Tempting.

    • +1

      You mean seeing as how this is a religious festival neil?

    • +1

      You are a true champion for religious relations, godspeed.

    • -1

      I'm glad you allow freedom of speech and opinion, Sir. Sticking up for the true Aussies.

  • +6

    Is this english or do you have to know arabic?

  • -3

    Ticketed event to explain people what true Islam is!

  • +12

    I see what Islam is about on the news every night.

    • +6

      If you rely on the news every night to form an opinion, then I see what you're about.

    • -6

      I see what Christianity is all about everyday… Christian countries i.e. USA, Britain and the UK invading Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and now trying to overthrow a legitimate elected president of Syria. I see Christian people with guns in the USA going on shooting sprees and i see WHITE Christian police officers in the USA shooting BLACK Christians for no reason!!!!!!!!!!! Come at me bro!!

      • +4

        75% of Russia's population is Orthodox Christian and they're trying to protect the "legitimate elected president of Syria". Go figure.

        And for the record, the frequent mass domestic shootings in the US aren't carried out in the name of Jesus, unlike the massacres we see regularly perpetrated by another religion that shall remain nameless, lest I fall foul of the Mod.

        • -1

          Then we agree that what is going on is political and has nothing to do with religion.

        • +2

          @alz: I'll compromise with you. When certain people stop yelling "God is Great" on the battlefield, I'll agree that it's political. Until then, I'll continue to believe it's about religion for them.

      • your comment is ignorant, stereotyoped and as bigoted as those you demonize.

    • +2

      You are VERY gullible.
      Who do you think are fighting IS etc? 90+% of muslims. Who do you think the VAST majority of victims of these groups are - OTHER MUSLIMS!! Wahabism is what you see. To state otherwise is like saying the westborough baptist church is what christianity is about.

  • you would have to say they deliberately programmed it at the same time as the afl grand final for some reason…

  • +1

    I am confused with the promo code, it is Sikh religious word
    And 786 is lucky number for Muslims in India and Arab countries

    https://islamgreatreligion.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/what-is-…
    ?

    • Also where do you put in the code for the free tickets?

  • Tried to check team member of this festival at link: https://salamfest.wordpress.com/team-salamfest/
    But there is no information about team.

  • +3

    Do I have to bring my own funnel to eat popcorn through my burk_napkini, or will funnels be provided this time?

    • +1

      Yes yes free funnels.
      Ask your brother, husband or other male family member to show you.
      If any children approach you, remember what we practiced:
      "No, little boy I not Darth Vader"

  • +5

    Muslim arts and films??? Didn't know such a thing existed. Photographic depictions are banned in Islam.

    • +2

      There's more to 'Art' than the figurative variety…

      Also, the Qur'an itself doesn't deal with the arts (ideological/attitude towards, or practical-requiring/suggesting forms of expression).

      Everything you see / hear about banning of depictions, figurative art, injunctions against making religious images, came about later as a collection of traditions, recorded by followers.

      You see the same in Christianity with the 16th century Protestantism movement, where all forms of art were stripped from churches throughout northern Europe (statues removed, walls painted over, etc.)

    • What a load of bull. You clearly know VERY little - the rennaisance was near entirely due to the golden ae of islaam.
      And there are HEAPS of muslim photographers. Some christian sects ban photography too. And electricity, motors, just about everything else - why arent they as interesting to you?

    I'm just here for the comments…popcorn anyone?

  • -8

    Ridiculous I had to comment in order to be able to vote on this.

    Anyway, here's my comment and next comes my downvote.

    • +2

      Commenting for a negative vote must happen in order to justify your neg vote. This neg will most definately be revoked - good luck

      • -2

        Only on this thread

  • +3

    I went to order a couple of tickets when I realized the exhibition is on on Saturday only. Im not much of a footy fan but I do watch this one game each year. Shame. We did visit the Islamic arts museum when we were in KL last year and thought it was terrific. Thx OP

    • Yeah the one in KL is pretty good

  • +3

    My negative vote is revoked. Reason must be political correctness.
    Where is the bargain in this,mostly a tax payer funded gimmick
    So many peoplw are scared to express their opinion for the same reason
    Nrmally this will be directed to forums

    • +1

      Absolute joke, isn't it?

      Mods here must be the same bunch that run the Whirlpool news section.

    • My negative vote is revoked. Reason must be political correctness.

      Your vote wasn't revoked by the mods. It was revoked by the community after your comment received negative votes against it. Voting Guidelines

      Nrmally this will be directed to forums

      This qualifies as a deal as the code offers the tickets that usually cost money for free. Similar to Free Better Homes and Gardens Live Tickets (Sydney or Melbourne) and many other deals on OzBargain.

  • How do I get the free tickets?
    Promo code doesn't work.

    • It only seems to work on the 2nd link now which is the 4PM session. Have updated deal, thanks.

      • Do I apply langar786 code and see what sessions it applies to or just select tickets then apply code?

        • I just applied code first and that seemed to work.

        • @neil:
          Code seems to be dead mate - wont apply even on the link in your post

        • @mycosys:

          Expired now. Have updated.

  • +5

    If only we could vote on Neil's comments……… they'd all be collapsed

    • +7

      I think Neil is confusing dictating with moderating.

      Seems any opinion not inline with his own is not allowed to be aired.

      • +1

        Typical behaviour of social marxists.

        • -1

          I am flattered by your neg - bring em on
          If bad people dont like what i say it means i am doing something right

      • How awful you should have to comply with community guidlines to be part of a private community. Next thing you will be telling me you cant tell me to get lost when i insult you to your face in your house

    • +5

      Here ya go. Feel free to neg vote this comment if needed.

      • I'm torn, I want to but I have no reason to, can we neg your other ones? :)

  • +2

    18c needs to be repealed.

    • -2

      Said every bigot, and nobody else.

      • +2

        Self awareness isn't your strong suit.

        • -3

          Knowlege clearly is not yours

  • neil says dont talk about religion - everyone talks about Islam.

    Pauline Hanson says we need to address the muslims - everyone calls her crazy.

    Humans are confusing

  • +1

    Well this got out of hand real quick…

  • I should claim tickets and not attend just because I can. Not because I dislike the culture or anything.

  • +2

    Can I trade my 10th wife for a painted goat picture ?

    • You can trade her for a framed picture of Pauline Hanson so you can &&&& over her before you go to sleep every night.

  • I will only attend this "festival" if and when a free Australian Arts and Film Festival is actively promoted in a predominantly Muslim state where at least 41 (half the number of positive deal votes to now) members of the Muslim community openly support such an event.

    Until that time, this is not a deal for me.

    • Has anyone actually worked out where to out in the code for the free tickets? If so, a little help please…i dont see an option to put in a discount code.

      Also i dont think australia has a predominantly muslim state. Not unless lakemba becomes an independent state.

      • Just tried it and the code has expired. Have updated deal.

      • Do you have an issue with Lebkemba? I get my halal meat from there :-0

  • what a waste of time!
