| Firebrand sheikh is back in Australia preaching |
| 2010-09-05 |
| The Sydney-born Islamic cleric who called for the beheading of a Dutch anti-Muslim MP has been back in Australia for several months and preaching at an Islamic centre in Campbelltown in Sydney's south-west. In a speech on his website, Sheikh Feiz Mohammad described Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom, as ''this Satan, this devil, this politician in Holland'' and said his head should be chopped off for denigrating Islam. Sheikh Feiz Mohammad gained notoriety for a speech in Bankstown in 2005 when he said a rape victim had no one to blame but herself for wearing ''satanic skirts''. An Islamic news website, MuslimVillage.com, reported yesterday the cleric gave the Friday Prayer sermon at the Campbelltown centre last week. Mr Wilders has called Islamic culture ''retarded and violent''. |

| #4 Calling for the death of anyone who stands in the way of Islam's mission to convert the world is not only allowed, but is positively encouraged in "multicultural" Australia. On the other hand, laughing at anyone while they are making these death demands, will get you into big trouble. |

| #3 "Political logic" can be very weird. In this case, they are probably holding off prosecuting for any one of the (stupid) reasons below, or no reason at all. 1) Prosecuting him will incite his followers to violence. 2) Prosecuting him will make them look anti-Muslim or "anti-immigrant." 3) They think he doesn't really mean it. 4) Prosecuting him will cost them votes. 5) Prosecuting him will play into the opposition's hands. 6) Sniveling cowardice. |

| #2 I'm surprised they don't charge any cleric that gives these decrees with some form of premeditated homicide. I mean they are advocating, publicly, with religious support the murder of some one. It is a decree that gives license to kill. If any one gives these decrees and the target is harmed or killed, they should at least be held as an accessory. |
