Murdoch Most Influential Australian of All Time, Bulletin Says
June 26 (Bloomberg) -- News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch has been named the most influential Australian of all time by the Bulletin, a weekly news magazine owned by James Packer's Publishing & Broadcasting Ltd.
'Islam supercedes nationality' June 26, 2006 News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch said today that Muslims would always identify themselves by religion before nationality, and warned that care needed to be taken to avoid a divided society.
"You have to be careful about Muslims who have a very strong, in many ways a fine, but very strong religion which supercedes any sense of nationalism wherever they go," Mr Murdoch told Channel Nine.
Mr Murdoch made the comments at a Sydney function naming him the most influential Australian of all time.
News Corp is parent company of the publisher of NEWS.com.au
