#1 Lads, if you can't find it within yourselves to deport this menace, perhaps you could arrange for a small "accident."

#2 While he paints himself as a moderate, at a young age Sheik Hilali joined the Muslim Brotherhood - an extremist group influenced by one of Islam's most radical thinkers and a supporter of violent jihad.

Although the cleric has formerly claimed that he broke away from the Brotherhood because they were too "extreme" in their teachings, several years ago he allegedly praised suicide bombers and called anyone who died fighting for Islam a "hero".

Remember folks, this is the same as yesterday's Sheik Hilali, the Australian mufti who declared scantily dressed women to be nothing more than "uncovered meat".

He blamed women who "sway suggestively" and who wore makeup and no hijab (Islamic scarf) for sexual attacks. "If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it ... whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat," he said. "The uncovered meat is the problem. If she was in her room, in her home, in her hajib, no problem would have occurred."

Please try to remember that Islam traces back much of this world's problems and especially those of men to Eve herself. She who tempted Adam has wrought the majority of this world's evils and must therefore be hidden from view, be it by hijab or burqa. A single stray lock of hair is enough for this foul temptress to lead even the most pious man astray.

Again, permit me to remind you that Sheik Hilali is purported to be a moderate Muslim. Of course, as with the title of this article, he claims to be "misunderstood". After being held to his incredibly offensive allusions regarding women as "uncovered meat", he vigorously back-pedaled in order to conveniently condemn the Sydney gang rapists.

Let's have a dekko at this Muslim gang rapist, who is named Bilal Skaf, eh?

For his crimes Bilal Skaf is serving a 31-year prison sentence, and will be eligible for parole in 2033. (He was originally sentenced to 55-years with a 40-year non-parole period, but that was modified several times upon appeal -- see below.)

He commenced his sentence in Sydney's Long Bay Correctional Centre, but was soon moved to maximum security in Goulburn Gaol after prison wardens uncovered plans by fellow inmates to inject him with HIV infected blood.

He is the brother of Mohammed Skaf, also a gang rape attacker serving 32 years jail for his part in the attacks. Bilal and Mohammed are the sons of Mustapha Skaf and Baria Skaf who immigrated to Australia from Lebanon.

Mustapha worked for State Rail in Sydney, gaining a good reputation among his colleagues. It was through his father's reputation that Skaf also found work for State Rail despite having left school at age 14 and gaining convictions for shoplifting and theft.

Skaf was engaged at the time of his arrest but although his fiancée stood by him during his trial, she ended their engagement soon after his conviction. Skaf's response was to sketch cartoons depicting his former fiancée being raped and murdered. Since he was first charged in November 2000, Skaf has remained unrepentant. During his trial he claimed he was involved only in cases of consensual sex, laughed when his verdict was read and swore at the judge when he received his sentence.

In jail he has made threats to commit acts of terrorism and was also responsible for a terrorist hoax in which a white powder laced letter to the NSW Corrective Services Commissioner Ron Woodham.

No wonder that Hilaly dropped Skaf like a live grenade. Lets take a moment and find out just how sincere Hilaly was:

Yesterday, the mufti defended the sermon about "adultery and theft", a recorded copy of which has been obtained and translated by The Australian. Sheik Hilaly said he only meant to refer to prostitutes as "meat" and not any scantily dressed woman with no hijab, despite him not mentioning the word prostitute during the 17-minute talk. He told The Australian the message he intended to convey was: "If a woman who shows herself off, she is to blame, but a man should be able to control himself".

He said if a woman is "covered and respectful" she "demands respect from a man". "But when she is cheap, she throws herself at the man and cheapens herself." Sheik Hilaly also insisted his references to the Sydney gang rapes were to illustrate that Skaf was guilty and worthy of receiving such a harsh sentence.

Like a whore in church, Hilaly is probably sweating every last thing hes said for the last few months and hoping no one has any of it recorded. While he claims that there is a lack of understanding, Im confident about only one thing being misunderstood.

Throughout his rather chequered Australian career, Hilaly has always claimed to be a moderate. Why dont we examine one of the most famous Muslim moderates of them all? One Yusuf Qaradawi.

The scholarly figure widely considered to be the world's chief proponent of moderate Islam is Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Egyptian-born Islamic jurist who heads the European Council for Fatwa and Research. Mr Qaradawi's rulings are recognised by Muslims around the world as reflecting the balanced nature of Islamic law and its relevance to modern life. This is the recurrent theme of his programmes on Arab television channels, as well as the popular Islam Online website, for which he acts as patron.

Muslim Brotherhood Qaradawi is a major figure in the brotherhood, an Islamic movement founded in Egypt in 1928 that has spawned several contemporary terrorist groups (including Hamas and Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which was absorbed by Al Qaeda).

International Association of Muslim Scholars Qaradawi is founder and president of the association, which was officially launched on July 11, 2004, in London. Defining itself as a "pan-Muslim body," the group's leaders include Ayatollah Muhammad Ali Taskhiri, an advisor Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Ahmad bin Hamad al-Khalili, Grand Mufti of Oman.

In May 2004, Taskhiri said on Iranian TV: "We must support this [Palestinian] uprising as much as we can so it will realize its goals and cut off the treacherous Zionist hands and the American hands standing behind Zionism and supporting it." He has also called the U.S. the "mother of international terrorism."

Islamic American University Qaradawi is on the faculty of the Michigan-based Islamic American University, a subsidiary of the Muslim American Society. Until June 2003 he was also the chairman (in abstentia) of the board of trustees of the institute (he may still hold this position, but relevant information is no longer available online).

Several of the university's board members have ties to Middle East extremist groups, while the university's founder and president, Salah Sultan, has fomented anti-Semitism and terrorism, saying that "the text of the Talmud says: 'If you come across a non-Jew kill him!' I want every child to sleep on the wound of Palestine and the action of martyrdom."

The final question being; How many other moderate Muslims are just like these moderates? Its all taqiyya, all of the time and never forget it.

#3 I don't understand. We keep hearing that the Mufti doesn't represent Muslims - so who are the people in these audiences of 2,000 to 5,000 that are listening to him and cheering him?
