<< THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU'RE DUMB ~ MAIN ~ OLD LADY HAS OPINION >>

EIGHT OUT OF TEN IMAMS AGREE

Certain information isn’t being quickly processed by Australian imams:

Eight Islamic spiritual leaders who preach to hundreds of Muslims in Victoria each day refuse to accept that Osama bin Laden was responsible for the September 11 attacks.

Responding to a survey, the imams from suburban and regional mosques ignored bin Laden’s own confession.

Asked if bin Laden were responsible for the attacks that killed almost 3000 people, Carlton mosque imam Rexhep Idrizi said: “We don’t know."

Acting Werribee mosque imam Riyad Ahmad said: “I have it only from one side. I’m not sure really."

Fitzroy mosque acting imam Bilgim Alpay said: “I don’t know. It’s very hard to answer. There are a lot of political games."

These people are idiots. Andrew Bolt has more:


To make it worse, the Islamic Council of Victoria has again showed it is no sound ally in this battle either. Asked to explain today’s findings, spokesman Waleed Aly said the imams merely had “a furious mistrust of mainstream media”.

Maybe they should read blogs. Except blogs are probably Haraam. Hey, what about this guy:

A balaclava-clad man, apparently with an Australian accent, has appeared on Arab television warning that more terrorist attacks will be launched on the West.

In a videotaped message aired on the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya satellite channel the masked man, speaking in what sounds like an Australian accent, attacked US President George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair over their countries’ involvement in Iraq, it was reported today.

Could be a fake (ie, a tape produced in Australia by someone not connected to psycho groups in Iraq or elsewhere). The crazy eyes are a nice touch, however:

  2. These terror ads are a bit jaded - couldn’t they spice things up by having the dude blow himself up after he gives his “message of doom”?

    Except you’d only get one take - pity. I’m sure there are members of the Islamic Council of Victoria who would like to be on TV, aren’t there?

  3. "Osama bin Laden is a great man! Allah’s peace upon him! But he didn’t do anything! And he is a great man for those things he did not do! The Great Satan trembles at the non-actions of this glorious and completely-not-involved man!  Ulululululululu!!!!!”

  5. “a furious mistrust of mainstream media”

    Well, I can get behind that, at least.

  10. I dunno if some wag at The Australian did this on purpose, but they have wrongly transcribed “honourable sons of Islam” as “animals under Islam” in his little rant. This made me laff.

    Oh, and did I mention he says “Palistan” instead of “Palestine”? Well he did.

    I’ll put on my psychology hat here and say that he realized his mistake as he was saying the word and he tried to disguise it. So it came out more like “Palistaaaaan.” Not foolin’ me, Habib.

    I mean, honestly, how FREAKIN HARD is it to do a 2nd take? Moron.

  11. Oh, calm down everyone...it’s just Bob Ellis.

    Good to see he’s managed to tone it down a little after his column in the Byron Shire Echo last week.

  12. Ha ha. Speaking of moron. That link seems to be going to a Megan Gale video. Which is strange coz I never clicked on it, honest.

    Try this link:

    If that doesn’t work then go to the story and click on the video link from there:

    Palistaaaaan!

  14. By the look of that trigger finger discipline, this guy has had some formal firearms instruction.

  15. By the look of that trigger finger discipline, this guy has had some formal firearms instruction.

    Excellent! I love that sort of expert commentary. I don’t know Jack about rifles. I was thinking the vid was probably fake. Just some blowhard Habib with some time on his hands.

  16. New test for the Immigration Department:

    Q.  Was Osama Bin Laden responsible for the 11thof Septmeber 2001 attacks on the US?

    A.  No.

    Bzzzzzzzzzt.  Wrong Answer.  Get on the plane!

    Posted by Razor on 2005 08 10 at 09:38 PM • permalink

  17. He actually sounds angry, crazy and inarticulate enough to be this ratbag.

    Posted by Habib on 2005 08 10 at 10:13 PM • permalink

  18. The other two imams think that Bin Laden was responsible, but that he’s really a jewish provacateur.

    I think the photo is of Maureen Dowd asserting absolute moral authority. The badgering, school-marmish index finger is actually more frightening than the gun.

  19. Sounds remarkably like Pauly the pizza delivery boy in “Pizza” on SBS.

  20. I agree with Habib - this guy sounds like the kind of pom that American ears (no offense) are mostly incapable of distinguishing from Australian or Sarth Efrikan (see Lost)

  21. More likely this was shot in Punchbowl by some dumbass who keeps getting the knock back from white chicks while cruising The Boulevarde with a fist full of falafel.

  22. Isn’t Aly to the media what Barnaby Joyce is to the media-the acceptable placating face.

  23. Apparently other responses to The Sun survey reveal that 8 out of ten imams also think:

    1.its ok to know a goat provided its been properly introduced;
    2.Osama doesn’t know goats, but if he does its cool;
    3.its best not to know a goat that Osama fancies;
    4.lanolin is best for rashes and irritations arising from knowledge of goats.

  24. Yeah, I noted the straight finger outside of the trigger guard too. That’s a sign of discipline usually reserved for military training.
    The only time it is on the trigger is when you have a sight picture. Not that it would be that clear with jihadi boys crazy eyes. Remember to breath first Achmed!

  26. #23 Only if it’s a female goat. Allah forbids fornication with male goats - even just holding hands.

  27. Eight out of 10 imans may agree on Osama, but ask the same imans if they (i) acknowledge Israel’s right to exist and (ii) condemn Palestinian terror and you’ll have - zero out of 10 imans.

  29. This guy’s accent is pure Bankstown Leb. Sounds like he was either born here or came as a child.

  30. So if Osama didn’t do the twin towers and claimed responsibility then he is a liar.  If he did it then he is a murderer.  Sorry, run the great man bit by me please Imam. I’m just a lazy infidel who’se not happy to be a jizra paying dimhi in my own land.

  32. Dee, how many ‘Bankstown Lebs’ are former Australian army personnel who grew up on the Central Coast?

    Either you’ve identified one of the few, or you’re wrong.
