Sheikh's plea to Australian media
2006-02-05
A SENIOR Islamic cleric has called on Australia's media not to publish the cartoons which have sparked riots across the Muslim world. Sheikh Fehmi El-Imam, the general secretary of the Board of Imams of Victoria, threatened warned reprinting the cartoons here could "disturb people who can do things that we don't want them to do".
"Really. They can't control themselves at all. It takes 15 or 20 years just to get them potty trained."
"In some parts of the world there is rioting against the Danish and the Dutch, we don't want that in Australia," the sheikh said today.
As of course, the fault would lie with freedom of speech and the Aussies printing a cartoon. Of course everyone knows Muslims have an absolute right to violence if they are offended over a cartoon or anything especially in a western country.
"Unfortunately, New Zealand has (published the cartoons) ... I'm trying to avoid, to put far away, any possibility of disturbing the peace in Australia."
good on ya New Zealand, bros i'm moving there
