| Outspoken cleric an 'embarrassment': Australian PM |
| 2007-01-15 |
 An Islamic cleric who mocked the convict ancestry of many white Australians is an embarrassment to the countryÂ’s Muslims, Prime Minister John Howard said on Sunday. The controversial Mufti of Australia, Sheikh Taj Aldin al-Hilali, last week suggested that Muslims had a greater claim to the country than the descendants of the British settlers. Howard said it was up to AustraliaÂ’s Muslim community to challenge al-Hilali, who is the countryÂ’s top Muslim cleric. |

| #7 Mr. Hilali, there's something you should know. Many people agree that Ausiees are a tough lot precisely BECAUSE of their ancestors. Britain couldn't handle them. Neither can you. Pick ten ragheads and I'll pick ten Ausiees. Last man standing wins, k? |

| #5 Howard said it was up to AustraliaÂ’s Muslim community to challenge al-Hilali, who is the countryÂ’s top Muslim cleric. Be careful what you wish for! :) "Darulfatwa" AKA "Islamic High Council of Australia" has labelled his diatribe as "insane" and equated him with Hitler. I won't take sides with any of the fatwa-fielding-fakes of Islam, but Hilali's supporters might be inclined to fire off a few of the rocket launchers in the general direction of "Daryl Fatwa", and light up the skies over Lakemba. Sheik Hilali 'like Hitler' January 15, 2007 - 11:23AM The Australian Federation of Islamic Council's legal adviser Haset Sali labelled the sheik's recent diatribe as insane and said the comments had horrified the vast majority of Australian Muslims. "He has been about as helpful to Islam in Australia as Adolf Hitler was to Christianity during the Second World War," Mr Sali said. |
