MR CATMEAT REQUIRES CONTEXT

The latest from Australia’s Sheikh Taj El-Deen El-Hilali:

Muslim cleric Sheik Taj Aldin Alhilali branded Australians liars and excused gang rapists in an interview aired on Egyptian television this week.

The controversial religious leader also claimed in the interview that Muslims had more right to live in Australia than those descended from convicts.The sheik’s comments come just months after he compared scantily clad women to uncovered meat and said such women should blame themselves if they were raped.

"Their values [Australia’s] are upside down. They have no democracy, no freedom. They are the worst liars and unjust people,” the sheik said in the Arabic-language interview.

Alhilali also defended the Muslim men convicted of Sydney’s gang rapes, a position that has caused controversy in the past.

"They arranged to meet in a public park at 2 or 3 am in the morning, and it (the sex) was agreed on,” he said.

Alhilali also poured scorn on Australia’s convict history and seemed to suggest Muslims were in Australia long before the British settled here in 1788.

"Australia is no longer Anglo-Saxon. We’ve been in Australia longer than them. Islam is deep rooted in the Australian soil. Islam was here before the English fleet."

Leftoids will have to revise their Invasion Day date. Further Hilali news:

The sheik was invited to appear on Egyptian television to explain his sermon comparing women who show some skin, to uncovered pieces of meat that invite predators.

At the time, Sheikh al Hilaly claimed his comments were taken out of context, but on Today in Cairo he defended the remarks, blaming the media for the national outcry.

"This is a calculated conspiracy aimed at terrorising our Islamic community, aimed at me first in order to bring the Islamic community to its knees,” Sheik Hilaly said in Arabic.

As usual, Keysar Trad claims Hilali was quoted out of context:

IFAA spokesman Keysar Trad says says he apologises for the comments if they have caused offence, but says the Sheikh has been misinterpreted.

"I do understand that some people taking these comments without looking at the full video would take offence to them,” he said.

"As an Australian Muslim ... I do feel like apologising to these people and also appealing to them to understand the context, it would seem he was trying to explain away that controversy and put it behind him and there were a couple of slip-ups."

Nostradamus predicted this only last week:

A Mohammedan leader again causes great consternation,
Speaking of women as vile temptresses and harlots,
And predicting the coming sharia revolution.
“He was quoted out of context,” says Keysar Trad.

  1. Context sure is a slippery bastard, ain’t it? “Well, yes, the Sheik did say all Christians were Crusaders who should be burned at the stake while watching their women gang raped, but without looking at the full video they cannot understand the context.”

Like Fraser before you, trying to be ‘stylish’, and you for votes. No wonder more and more Australians are starting to hold some politicians in contempt. To Kayser Trad. We don’t want an explanation from this individual, just his departure, and you his propaganda spin doctor of the Goebbelisque style can also feel free to leave. I fail to see what your ‘mentor’ has contributed to Australia, accept to rubbish this country. He would not be here if it were not for greedy vote buying, by desparate politicians. Sod off.

    Friendly advice from an American to Australia…

    This is what we call an “undesirable alien”.

    Correct proceedure to deal with undesirables:

    1.) Strip the turd of his citizenship.

    2.) Kick his ass out of your country and send him back to the Muslim shithole he came from.

    Here’s a call from the cluephone for the government of Australia:  You are NOT obliged to open your doors and admit the scum of the earth.

    But that’s okay, because the Arabic was mistranslated / Catholic priests were saying the same thing 30 years ago / Muslims have a rich cultural tradition of making up historical facts etc. etc.

  18. On local radio (Perth) this afternoon, Trad claimed that Hilaly was actually, after being asked why he still lived here (having been in so much strife on multiple occasions) “proclaiming his love for Australia”. Trad claimed that Hilaly answered by saying he loved living here, he’d paid his fare to come here and wasn’t bound by chains to remain here (paraphrasing, but that’s as near as damn it). Of course, the interviewer (make that intellectual midget) just let it slide, unchallenged.

    This slimy-tongued snake gets away with this stuff year after year. Until today, I hadn’t realised that he’s been the self-appointed islam/muslim (NO, no capital) “spokesman” for over ten years.

    I vaguely recalled an article quoting Trad saying something along the same lines. And so I set about finding it. Unfortunately, the article was published well before I started studying islam (v the West) after 9/11 intensely, and keeping (now vast) files. But find it I did. An essay on elitism, doncha know?

    “The criminal dregs of white society colonised this country, and now, they only take the select choice of other societies, and the descendants of these criminal dregs tell us that they are better than us”. Br. Keysar Trad – 1996

    http://worldwar111.blogspot.com/2006/02/racisim-islamic-response.html It’s worth reading the whole thing for another gem or two. This website has a ton of stuff on Trad but, until today, I’d not known of it.

    Personally, I’d prefer Hilaly to continue to to shoot his mouth off at every opportunity. He’s a great awareness-raiser. It’s Trad that needs to be brought to account. His slimy taqiya is more dangerous than Hilaly’s rants will ever be.

    I mean think of the Muslim contributions to society :

    Imploding - we used to think this was just for buildings.

    Exploding - we thought this was a great increase in population, they’ve shown that just one man can explode.

    Towelhead - We thought this was something the missus wore after washing her hair.

    Kamikaze - may have been Japanese or Cuminkazi used to refer to George Michael but they have given the act direction - Valhalla!

  32. Even Keysar Trad, media tart, looked embarrassed this time!  I’m even beginning to feel sorry for him.

    Sheikh Hilaly should realise that those of us who do have convict ancestors are very proud of it.  Those ancestors helped build this wonderful country we have today - the world’s oldest continuous democracy, a country in which most people have high standards of living and are law-abiding, tolerant and decent, and where freedom of speech is respected (except when that speech is meant to damage and divide).

    Instead of making such stupid remarks, the Sheikh should be analysing why a nation founded by “people in shackles” has made so many advances in a mere 200 years, whereas the Islamic world, once the leader in science, mathematics and architecture, among other things, has gone backwards ever since.

  35. Australia’s great achievement was to make many poor criminals into decent productive citizens of a successful society.
    Under Hilalai, Islam’s desire in Australia is to make all decent Moslems into ‘productive’ criminals in a self-destructive orgy..

    Hilali’s attempted defence of brutal Moslem gang rape is emblematic of the cell pool of his mind.

    Except they didn’t. And never have.

    Indeed yes many Arabs did make great advances in science, mathmatics and architecture but they were Christian and Jewish Arabs not Muslims who subsumed their work after they invaded those previously Christian areas pre-Crusades.

    Interesting, though, the view that Muslims have a bigger claim than Angelo-Saxons to Australia because Muslims paid their own passage rather than arriving in shackles. I guess by that logic Angelo-Saxons have the greater claim to America. Imagine how well that would play with Americans of African descent…

  49. #9, Dan Lewis is completely correct, a lone crackpot like Hilaly isn’t too much to be concerned about.  What is important is how many muslims actually agree with him. Getting hold of this statistic and acting on it is by far the most important next step and is also one that our media and pollies appear to be determined to ignore. 

    Given the sheik’s current position as the head of the muslim community it is probably safe to assume that he has majority support until we are reliably informed otherwise

  59. KEYSER TRAD PRESS CONFERENCE

    Well, G’Day mates! Strewth, the press room is crowded today! Good to see that Australia is finally taking a greater interest in the one true religion. It makes me feel good about our future together as a country. Seems you’re finally coming to your senses.

    Before we start I have a message from Ali Mohammed my driver as my car has been damaged in the carpark....."Whoever was driving the white Commodore sedan and scraped the bumper of the red WRX with the number plate TAQ 1Y4, please see him outside. He’ll be next to the car with a cricket bat.

    Strike me pink!... its so crowded you’se look like a pack of sheep lined up in the stockyard for mulesing. I’d hate for someone to fire an anti tank rocket into this building! Luckily the chance of that happening is pretty ...well...let’s move on shall we. C’mon gang I was joking, look the guy from the SMH laughed at it!

    I’m sorry I’m late, but I have been very busy since the Grand Mufti of Australia made his recent ...aaahhh...contribution. I’ve also been on a tight schedule because the bastards at the Lakemba Public Swimming Pool won’t extend the ‘good guys only’ hours and I didn’t want to swim with the unclean.

    Ohhhhh I see that look up the back, don’t think that I don’t… but can you blame me “cobber”? Some of those women aren’t even circumcised. Makes me shudder to think of all that unnessesary catmeat - just get rid of it. And did you know that they also sit
    on the toilet seat instead of squatting over it? ...oh well of course you do...I’m sorry… you were listening to me out of context just then.

    Now just hear me out on this one and tell me if I’m crazy or not, but if Cronulla beach had segregated swimming days do you think that the cruel, racist, unprovoked, unneccessary, evil, shaitan inspired, crusader-convict riots would have occurred????

    Well maybe they would have, BUT, that’s only because “once a crim, always a crim” as they say. Look .... never mind, I thought that last bit out of context.

    Now, to business. Regarding the Mufti’s recent comments, it might surprise you to be informed that he was, in fact, taken completely out of context. Don’t roll your eyes over there...it could happen. Damn it, is has happened...again.

    Now listen, we muslims have had just about enough. You cannot understand the context unless you are a muslim. It’s as simple as that. So I recommend that you revert to Islam, only in an effort to understand mind, and I guarantee the criticism of the Mufti will evaporate. Don’t wory, the reversion would be temporary, only until you die. Hey...shut up over there, looks to me like you need to get a bit of religion...look at you...no beard...shirt tucked in...how dare you............ahhhhh sorry there.....those comments were contextually challenged if you know what I mean. No hard feelings… I like your Australian cricket team hat by the way...all green and gold...did you know that green is the Islamic colour? You did? well your probably not a journalist then - boom boom!  Ha ha got you all....see ....why can’t we all just get along?

    Anyway, what the Sheik really said was that muslims are disadvantagedin Australia because Europeans came here as convicts and were thus supplied free pyjamas with arrows on them. And, more importantly, having committed their crimes prior to arrival, they could then immediately set about busting rocks. Unlike muslim immigrants who pay to get to Australia and then have to commit crimes after arrival just to get on an even footing. See? we too want to say we are decended from convicts as soon as possible. It will just take a few generations.

    The other stuff about world’s biggest liars and such was just islamic irony. There now, that’s better isn’t it?

    Now no questions today, I’m too busy. Also, I would like to say that barring any unforseen context, our next press conference has now been moved to Bankstown Town Hall on 27 January, the day after convict shame day. It’s much bigger in there and that venue has had a cancellation. No thanks to you blogosphere!

  61. As Mark Steyn put it in a recent interview for our ‘BreakPoint’ website, “[Radical] Islam is a weak enemy, and its strength is determined by what it’s pushing against.” The problem is that Europe and, increasingly, America are putting up very little resistance. If Christians won’t stand up for our worldview, and secularists won’t stand up for anything, one day we may have no one but ourselves to blame for the triumph of radical Islam”.

    Most Australian media pundits refuse to accept this. They continually bleat about ‘moderate Muslims’ - whereas the Koran explicitly preaches the totality and all-pervasiveness of the religion. In other words, it is against Islamic teaching to be a ‘moderate Muslim’. The faith is a bit like pregnancy - you can’t be half pregnant and you can’t be a ‘moderate Muslim’.  Al Hilaly knows this and trades on it. The commentariat are yet to wake up to the real agenda here prefering to believe that ‘moderate Muslims’ will somehow triumph over the Sheik..

  63. #58 Melanie is right.  That’s why the Sheikh, among others, keeps repeating the claim that Muslims were in Australia before the First Fleet and it’s why great efforts are being made to recruit indigenous Australians. The same campaign has been waged on many fronts for decades, in Africa and Russia in particular and more recently in Europe.  We’re just seeing it now.

    Mind you I do like the nickname Thick Sheik Hilali given to him by one newspaper.

    I’d say Andrew Bolt sums up the situation quite well.  If Hilali is considered to be truly representative of Muslims by Muslims in Australia then the rest of us need to think what is the place of Islam in Australia?  Can we afford it?

  71. My convict era ancestor came to Australia aboard the convict ship “Arab” (no pun intended) and was sent to Liverpool NSW in early 1823. Eventually, he was pardoned and was given a land grant of 100 acres at South Colah (now Thornleigh), NSW.

    Firstly, contrary to Howard believing we “convicts” are having a wry smile at the Sheik’s wilfull stupidity, I am incandescent with rage. How dare this trumped up retard claim sovereignty over the land my forefathers busted their guts to build.

    I can honestly say I hate everything the Sheik says and stands for.

    And lastly, I condemn utterly my forfathers for flogging the parcel of 100 acres at Thornleigh which would today be worth tens of $millions. The Laminex factory today stands on the site of my family’s original homestead.

    This was said on a Egyptian TV show.
    If this is true it is despicable, the man is a liar and does not deserve to be an Australian anymore. He has not only offended all Australians, he has particularly offended all of the Australians from convict stock like myself. As well as all of the descendants of Australians of Anglo-Celtic stock that came here as free settlers. Because he very racially abused the Anglo Saxon Australians.
    He is utterly despicable, low life, rubbish.

  89. #51 You mkae a mistake so many Westreners do: “islam” has no desire to win hearts and minds, it merely aims to vanquish and subordinate them.

    I believe this brand of “Islam” is definitely out to win hearts and minds:  the hearts and minds of Muslims who aren’t so much into jihad and murder yet.  This guy Hilali doesn’t care that Australian news sources are repeating what he says, because he’s not speaking to them.  He’s actively recruiting for jihad, and the longer you in Australia allow him to do it, the worse for you.  We have similar people in America, but they get less attention because we are so big and so diverse, it’s hard to separate out the voices.  That’s sometimes a bad thing for us, but something we have more time and space to deal with.  You in Australia have less of a cushion, so you should probably act sooner rather than later.

    Americans in Europe have routinely had to listen to the “Americans are descended from British convicts” canard (yes, we had them too).  The correct response is to ask how come European convicts of the 18th century created countries so much more successful than current European ones.  Of course, Muslim countries don’t even figure in.  Even convicts couldn’t create failures like that.

    2. Funny to hear a man complain to the Egyptians, a group known for their ‘innovative justice programmes’ about harsh gaol terms. They must have been weeping tears of laughter.

    3. Funny also to hear a man make outrageous and insulting statements about Anglo-Saxons then turn around and claim to be a victim of racism.

  93. Trad and Hilai keep playing this because they know they can get away with it. No one will officially hold them to account.  But it’s entirely for their followers’ and socialist allies’ consumption, as the resulting controversies raise their status as victims of an anti-muslim, racist society.  It’s where they get their power.

    The PM and Downer laughed off these latest comments I think to cut off any oxygen they may give to yet another attempt at controversy.  Unfortunately, it has the side effect of alienating the majority of the population who feel insulted and duped again.  If we keep going on like this, where a minority and a majority are kept polarised, matters will inevitably come to a head one day.

  94. A full 97% of significant scientific figures between 800BC and 1950 have come from the West.

    Charles Murray’s list of major discoveries in astronomy begins with Pythagoras’s discovery that the morning and evening stars are the same, continues through Copernicus’s heliocentric theory and Hubble’s discovery that the universe is expanding (1918). It ends with Fred Whipple’s work on the composition of comets in 1949.

    The list of central events in the history of technology demonstrates that modern life is almost wholly Western in origin.

    Between the 11th century and 1950, all major technological innovations, from the watch to the steam engine to the computer, came from Europe and the United States.

    Meanwhile:

    “The earth is flat. Whoever claims it is round is an atheist deserving of punishment. [1993, quoted by Yousef M. Ibrahim, The New York Times, 12 February 1995]—Sheik Abdel-Aziz ibn Baaz, Supreme Religious Authority of Saudi Arabia.

    There are literally dozens of these quotes from Islamic authority figures - if their sheer thickness and ignorance are incredible to us, just imagine how their ordinary followers must think. They are impervious to reason or logic.

    But I’m sure one of my teachers told me the little-known fact that the First Fleet consisted of Muslims - they actually turned the ships around daily to face Mecca while the Cockney crims and Irish rebels chanted their daily Allah akbars.

  95. Had a chat with one of my Arab Lebanese Maronite Christian mates and I have to agree with him.

    He said: "let Hilaly stay as long as the disgusting little pig-fucker wants!”
    He argued that Hilaly is THE greatest way to raise popular awareness among Australians about the problems islam poses to us.

    Not a bad point.

    Most Australians have a pretty good bullshit detector, and Hilaly hates Australia and Australians so much that he just cannot help himself (remember, he is a semi-literate savage who came here from a mud hut on the banks of the Blue Nile).

    So while the little barbarian remains, he WILL keep shooting his mouth off about why he, as a savage, is so much better than the civilisation he is parasitic on - he believes his own islamist bullshit.

    And the MSM have woken up that Hilaly’s latest lying, mysogenist, racist statements sell papers: that he honestly believes the daughters of ALL Australians (Anglo, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arab Christian, Sikh, ALL of them) deserve rape from the followers of the barbarian paedophile murderer they regard as a prophet.

    Some of my more religiously-inclined acquaintances argue that islam is actually satanism. THis is an interesting thought that would explain much.

    So let Hilaly remain, and translate every speech the foul little swine gives, here and overseas. Then locate and kick out the ones who agree with him.

    He plays the role of judas-jenny* really well.

    Alas, a large minority, perhaps 10%, are. And that’s 100 million people. Of whom perhaps 1 in 100 are raving fanatics. Oh Joy, a million suicide bombers who just thirst for infidel blood. That’s worse even than the Scientologists.

    It’s as if the Westboro Baptist Church had 100 million adherents instead of just Fred Phelps’ inbred family of 200 or so.

    That would not justify tarring the whole of Christianity with the same brush. But it would require the whole of Christianity to forcefully and publicly repudiate in the strongest possible terms these maniacs.

    Until mainstream Islam does a lot more than it has been doing - and it has been doing some - then the number of people who will see Islam, all of it, as a threat to all humanity will increase. Muslims must speak out, in public, loudly, repeatedly, and en masse.

    That they haven’t is not just shameful, it’s dangerous to them.

  105. We do not ‘push’ democractic freedom of speech. As far as we’re concerned freedom of speech, as upheld by the West, is not Islamic. Human beings do not have the freedom to say (or do) whatever they like. Rather they have the freedom to say what Allah permits, to the exclusion of what he prohibits for them to say (or do). Whenever we mention freedom of speech it is in holding the hypocritical Western politicians to account on their own values.

    Believe me, with realities like Guantanamo Bay and Western support for tyrannical dictators in the Muslim world, we do not hold our breath on hollow values such as democracy or freedom of speech.

    The good news just keeps rolling in today.  The oil price is collapsing - just broken through $52.  Now down $12 in just two weeks.

    A letter writer to Mark Steyn on this subject:- “It occurs to me that the most horrific weapon we could possible devise against the Arab nations that fund this war (yes, I think we are in WW III) would be for the president of the United States to go before congress and ask for the funding for the Manhattan Project II, that being the research to find an energy source to replace crude oil and the immediate development and implementation of the outcome of that research to put the program into place.

    When I read about Iranian “petro dollars” funding Hezbollah, and the Saudis, as you have also pointed out, funding the exportation of their brand of Islam all being made possible by the sale of crude oil it simply drives me nuts”.

    What I meant, is that resolving the issue of Hilaly, e.g. by deporting him, firing him into the sun, etc. will not of itself resolve the problem he represents.

    Hmm. Taipan rounds? A cousin has used them very successfully on pigs. If you warm them and soak their nose in wax prior to loading they pretty much guarantee a one-hit kill on even a large pig. The wax wicks up in to the round (open front copper jacket, leaad core) and when it hits it basically turns inside out. Very nice round, and Queensaland made too.

  118. The claim that Muslims arrived in Australia before the British is actually the most serious part of the whole thing - it is apparently trying to set up a claim that Australia is part of the House of Islam, and is therefore Islamic forever - that is the heart of the Muslim case against Israel’s existence.

  119. Let Hilali keep speaking.  It just demonstrates to the mainstream how potentially dangerous and alien this community may be.

    Personally, I’d ban permanent immigration from every muslim country from the Atlantic Ocean to the border of India (with the exception of Turkey).  And then (sincerely) wish them all well, peace, prosperity and happiness forever, etc, etc - but still goodbye.

    Just so long as we all stick to our own side of the sandpit, and keep our nose out of each others’ businesses.  I becoming a curmedgeonly isolationist as I get older!

    If we did this, demographics and time would defeat this hateful threat peacefully without a drop of blood (from any side) being shed.  Sounds like the perfect solution to me.

    Letting a wanker like Hilali shoot his mouth off makes this more likely.  It wakes the slumbering masses up to reality.

  123. #118 If it’s the heart of the case against Israel it’s a bleeding one.  Even Islam admits the priority of Jewish prophets as far as Jesus, [though denying their historical religions legitimacy, of course].

    This is an interesting issue and im sure we will hear more and more demands for Muslim immigration to be curtailed.

    Presently there is no way (nor should he)that Howard et al would actually come out and say “Henceforth no more Muslim immigrants”.  It would be imflammatory in the extreme.  However, there is a way round this, which is being discussed in the UK.

    We have our own thorny issue of what to do about immigrants that commit crime but who originate from countries that allow torture.  Under the European Human Rights Act, they are not allowed to be deported (even if they have committed murder).

    Hence there are increasing calls to ban immigration from countries that allow torture.

    As these countries are all Muslim, you can effectively end Muslim immigration, whilst at the same time sounding all touchy-feely, caring and PC.  Genius.

    Perhaps we should be giving more credence to the Sky News poll linked by Ian in #88 above, where the vote indicates 77% are supporters.
    An even more accurate assessment might be gained by adding up all the Muslims living in Australia who have spoken out against Hilaly.

  148. Until mainstream Islam does a lot more than it has been doing - and it has been doing some -

    For extremely small values of “some”. You have Saudis in the US being caught with slaves and their local community supports them. The head of the largest mosque in Ohio says “peace” in English and “jihad” in Arabic—when he’s caught and it’s discovered he lied on his visa application and had a terrorist connection, his community supports him.

    A bleeding-heart here in Cincinnati wrote a play trying to “understand” the life of the teenage suicide bomber girl (I can’t remember her name). He portrayed her as a normal enough teenager—listening to music, interested in clothes, etc. The Muslim community insisted on pre-screening the play, and objected to the (sympathetic) portrayal of a girl who was, in the end, a mass-murderer. The play has never been staged.

    Sure, there are a handful of voices from the Muslim community objecting to this. I’ve heard of two notable cases where Muslims objected to their local community’s stance towards the jihadis. And in both of those cases, the objectors have been hounded out of their communities.

    There has to be a LOT more from the Muslim community in the West.

  151. "Free speech for all, especially Hilali.”

    IMO, no one should have the freedom to lie, to justify past gang rapes, or to incite future gang rapes (and this piece of crap, Hilali is doing all three of the above) under the cover of an abstraction like “freedom of speech”.

    ‘Alhilali also defended the Muslim men convicted of Sydney’s gang rapes, a position that has caused controversy in the past.’

    ‘“They arranged to meet in a public park at 2 or 3 am in the morning, and it (the sex) was agreed on,” he said.’

    This is what really happened…

    Agreed on my ass

    The Sheikh is a liar, and an advocate, aider and abettor of violent rapists (among other things), and if you let him stay in your country you’re begging for trouble...and you’re going to get what you’re begging for.

  152. Sheikh Taj El-Deen El-Hilali knows exactly what he’s doing (and his strategy is based on an astute reading of liberal societies underpinned by political correctness and tolerance).

    His speeches are quite simply designed to drive a wedge between Muslims and non-Muslims. This creates a victimised minority for which the politically gullible (on all sides of politics, I should add - but mostly the left) will stand up and protect from justifiable censure. So he knows he is perfectly safe by saying things designed to inflame sensible non-Muslims.

    In the meantime, his wedge activities present Muslims with two options: stand with your religious brothers or the infidel. There will come a day soon where there will be no choice. As he continues to rile non-muslims, Muslims otherwise content with their life will be drawn into the blessed Sheik’s fold.

    It’s simple, but obviously effective. Take a look at the kind of commentary at Muslim Village. A liberal society in which all cultures and views are perceived relatively and thus equal is unable to defend its values. Moreover, the left and its fellow travellers provide succour and support for these views.

    The Sheik is creating his revolutionary cohort. Lenin would approve, as do those in Australia who dream of the downfall of capitalism, imperialism, and a dozen other “isms” by the which the modern age has been cursed.

    We are witnessing a master class in political strategy. The question now is whether there are people in Australia willing to infiltrate and destroy this fascism internally. When your enemy plays dirty, it’s time to take off the gloves.

    For years in his columns and blog, Andrew Bolt has been calling for such people to come forward. Where are they?

    I don’t understand why this silly question always arises in these discussions. I have not expressed an unhappiness with Australia as a land, nor with the Australian people. What we have an issue with is:

    1. The ideas and ideology upon which the society in this land, and the West generally, is built. This being an intellectual criticism, not necessarily meaning we are here to change the societies, but that we do hold different values in this regard.

    As a result I’m pretty bloody concerned by the concept of anti-vilification laws.

    As pointed out by others, though, it must have limits. So far, Hilali is within my limits and the more he speaks, the more we know.

    If the Islamists go underground, it becomes harder to make Australians realise that there is a threat. Until they strike, that is.

    Nevertheless, the Christian version of the crucifiction of Eesa [alayhis salaam] is incorrect as already stated in the Qur’aan. Allah Ta’ala states, ‘And they did not kill him (Eesa - alayhis salaam) nor did they hang him, but they were put in doubt.’ Anything about the crucifiction of Eesa [alayhis salaam] from the Christians is nothing but an expression of that doubt.

    And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

    So you too are an Ask Imam fan?

    I’m always amazed at the vast amount of knowledge the Imam has and how the followers of this cult need permission to cut their nosehairs, need advice on how far the feet should be apart for some ceremony or other, ask if wearing a T shirt with a cartoon character on it is haraam...........it is endless really

    When I do go to Mass I look at the priest there and I think if I asked him all this stuff he would ring up for the local Mental Health team to come and get me

    And CH9 just showed men at Lakemba Mosque who wholeheartedly supported the sheikh

    If this doesn’t show people that the sheikh is not a nutcase but a revered Mufti who is just telling it like it it’s going to be a very interesting time ahead

    Nor were the pastors inciting violence. I am talking about vilification, not inciting violence. Although finally acquitted at appeal, the pastors were previously convicted and fined after years of crippling trials.

    I am not suggesting that Hilaly should be suppressed and I agree that it is to our advantage to hear what he is preaching to his flock.

    All I am asking is that all of us should have the same freedoms to criticise other cultures.

    Under Victoria’s anti-vilification laws and the msm’s rigid PC rules, we do not have those freedoms.

According to Trad he’d been expected back in Australia next Friday, but his daughter will keep him there a little longer.

    Does she really think he’ll just quietly slip back in and go about his business, unnoticed? Don’t think so, missy.

  196. Marky, I think you have grossly understated/misunderstood the reality. What is of concern is not the number of the Muslims in this country. For if it were merely an issue of numbers, then the Muslim community would not be the centre of attention, and would be treated like any other “minority”.
    What is of concern to the policy makers, is the fact that these Muslims are intrinsically connected with all other Muslims around the world. The Muslims carry & call for an alternative and real political order, which will clash with the interests of the Capitalists.

    Australia(the policy makers) should remember who is her largest and resource rich neighbors. The interests of Australia lye with the Muslims. Australia should cease going down the slippery slop of injustice and prejudice (thats putting it nicely) and establish good bridge building relations with the Muslims in this country and abroad.
    Muslims have permanent and unwavering noble values, we will honour and stick to our agreements, the Western “allies” however, well i’ll leave it to Lord Palmerston to explain:

    “We have no eternal allies and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are perpetual and eternal and those interests it is our duty to follow. “

    Wow.

    That is blasphemy.  That would be analogous to a Christian claiming that the Kabaa is just a black cube and was not a mosque built by Abraham and Ishmael.  The black rock is just a freaking meteorite formerly worshipped by a pagan religion.  And Mohammed was a warlike noncontent who used a bogus religion to help subdue a pagan population.  Except in the case of the latter, it would be all true.

    Fun in Britain too!

    A leading mosque in London is selling DVDs that proclaim the coming mass extermination of Jews around the world on a “day of judgment.” It also attacks Christian groups and the United Nations.

    The London Central Mosque, also known as Regent’s Park Mosque, is “the spiritual focal point for Muslims” throughout Great Britain, the European Jewish Press reported. It is also home to the Islamic Cultural Center, which educates Muslim children.

    The report said that a British television station will air on Monday a documentary on Muslim extremism in Britain, and will report the selling of the DVD.

    The DVDs are being sold at the London Central Mosque Shop. One excerpt shows a preacher, Sheikh Feiz, imitating the sounds of a pig and referring to the Jewish people who will be killed on the “day of judgment.”

  210. #208: thanks for the link.
    These people come from a suburb (and/or neighbouring suburbs) in Sydney where I once lived, and members of my family still live.

    For the last two decades (at least) they have made life for any remaining Aussies in those areas absolute hell. One by one, over the years, Aussies have been literally driven out by their antics. Nothing that could be pinned on any individual/s, of course. Things like mobs gathering on a street late at night, shouting and yelling, doing burnouts - and scampering before the police arrived. Night after night, week after week, month after month - you get the picture - all over the neighbourhood.

    Over time, Aussies sold up and moved out.

    As I said, one part of my family still lives there. The old man is absolutely stone deaf. Hasn’t got a clue about all their shouting, yelling and burnouts. My youngest sister, however, has a “screw loose”. She’s single, not a spring chicken by any means, and has “anger management” issues. A few years ago she, a shift worker, made it her business to find out where these hoons lived. After their nightly performance, she’d give them an hour to settle into bed, get into her car and, let’s say, return the favour, in front of their houses.

    I told her then that she was mad - asking for trouble, blah, blah blah.

    But guess what? Before too long - I’m guessing after they’d figured out which street to avoid - she and dad have had no trouble at all, for years. Perhaps she’s not all that mad, after all. Something to do with dishing it out but unable to take it, I think.

    The most disturbing part is the total lack of allegiance to the country. This seems to be the backbone of their thinking. I saw in one conversation “Global Village” being espoused, which really means nationality subsumed by a single rigid politico-religeous code.

    I’m beginning to understand how they can justify voluntarily coming here and showing nothing but contempt for everything we have. They simply see it as a slab of land inhabited by infidels of no value. But the pickings (welfare etc) are good, and it’s fertile ground for an invasion from within.

He said it was like people on a bus who had paid their fare having to stand while fare evaders occupied the seats. That’s how he, and presumably the mad mullah, see it. Whatever happened to history lessons? Don’t they know what “convict” means?
