The Lebanese Muslim Association is based in Lakemba, Sydney, currently led by President Hafez Alameddine alongside Vice President Raed Halabi, Secretary Gamel Kheir and Treasurer Yehya Masri. The organisation itself did not sign the February 2025 joint communique defending Bankstown Hospital nurses, though Secretary Gamel Kheir signed it in a personal capacity.
On Saturday 22 June 2024 LMA hosted "Gaza & Australia's Government" at Lakemba Mosque. Its own promotional flyer, marked "Hosted by LMA" and "Supported by" AFIC, "advocacy" and Stand for Palestine, carried a speaker profile of "Mohammed Alwahwah, Palestinian activist, Hizb ut-Tahrir". In October 2024, after a Hizb ut-Tahrir-associated rally outside Lakemba Mosque on the anniversary of October 7 at which US academic Khaled Beydoun called the attacks "a good day", LMA distanced itself from his comments and some of the rally's organisers (The Australian, 20 Oct 2024).
The Evidence Project is an independent, investigative timeline archive — every case, every document, every date, laid out in order so the full picture is there to see. Each entry links through to primary sources, footage, and documents so nothing here rests on our word alone.
We are not aligned with any political party, movement, or side. We hold every figure and organisation on this site to the same standard of evidence, regardless of who they are or what they believe — not because we're neutral on the issues, but because the facts, once verified, don't need us to take a side for them.
A note on what this site is — and isn't
Inclusion here documents a verified event, connection, or statement on the public record. It is not an accusation, and it does not imply guilt, association, or wrongdoing beyond what the cited sources themselves establish. Where a claim is contested, unconfirmed, or needs context for fairness, we say so.
What this is about: a small network of individuals and organisations who promote extremism, and the institutions that funded, platformed or overlooked them. It is not about Muslims. Most Muslim Australians reject these views, and many have spoken out against them at real cost to themselves. They are part of the solution.
This site exists so people can read, learn, and reach their own conclusions — not so it can be used as ammunition against anyone. Do not use it to harass, threaten or target anyone, whether a person named here, their family, or any community. If you're looking for a reason to target someone, you won't find it built into this site; you'll only find the record, and what you do with it is on you.
This is a conversation Australia needs to have, and we welcome that conversation.
If we got something wrong, tell us and show us the source — we'll check it and correct it publicly. Tips and documents are welcome too: contact@evidenceproject.au
