“UNCOVERED MEAT IS THE DISASTER”
Sheik Sheik Sheik!
Sheik Sheik Sheik!
Sheik Hilali!
Shiek HiLAli!
—KC & The Sunshine Band of Decadent Western Dancing Unpeople Who Must Die
IS IT possible to Sheik and spin at the same time? It is if you’re Keysar Trad, senior context-explainer for Australian mufti Sheik Catmeat Hilali:
He said Sheik Hilali had attracted unfair criticism from media and politicians over the comments and insisted the cleric had long been a supporter of women’s rights ... Mr Trad said the mufti’s words must be taken in context ...
He said the speech did not translate well to English “so all I can say is, he was trying to say to men and women, don’t provoke sexual attention”.
“Obviously, there is a severe penalty for rape and there should be. He’s saying, ‘If you do this, if you behave in a sexual way, see how much trouble you can get into’,” Mr Trad said.
Two points: if the Sheik’s meat-themed speeches don’t translate well to English, perhaps he should learn the language; and Trad’s linkage of rape to merely behaving “in a sexual way” is stunning. So, let’s work through the Sheik’s speech, as translated by SBS:
Those atheists, people of the book (Christians and Jews), where will they end up? In Surfers Paradise? On the Gold Coast? Where will they end up? In hell and not part-time, for eternity. They are the worst in God’s creation.
Nick and Nora Charles, Christians, seem to have ended up on the Gold Coast. Word on the street is they’ve invented a new cocktail called “People of the Book.” Even atheists like it!
When it comes to adultery, it’s 90 percent the woman’s responsibility. Why? Because a woman owns the weapon of seduction. It’s she who takes off her clothes, shortens them, flirts, puts on make-up and powder and takes to the streets, God protect us, dallying. It’s she who shortens, raises and lowers.
What with all the shortening, raising, and lowering, Hilali sounds eerily like Futurama’s evil Brain Balls: “The elders tell of a young ball much like you. He bounced three metres in the air. Then he bounced 1.8 metres in the air. Then he bounced four metres in the air. Do I make myself clear?” Also, just like the Sheik, those balls “cannot condone bouncing of the seventh variety.”
Then, it’s a look, a smile, a conversation, a greeting, a talk, a date, a meeting, a crime, then Long Bay jail. Then you get a judge, who has no mercy, and he gives you 65 years.
Sheik Hilali is referencing a notorious gang-rape case—all sparked, he claims, by rampant “raising and lowering”.
But when it comes to this disaster, who started it? In his literature, writer al-Rafee says, if I came across a rape crime, I would discipline the man and order that the woman be jailed for life. Why would you do this, Rafee? He said because if she had not left the meat uncovered, the cat wouldn’t have snatched it.
In the previous paragraph, Hilali slams a judge who jailed a rapist for 65 years. Next, he approvingly cites a ”writer” who would have rape victims jailed for life.
If you get a kilo of meat, and you don’t put it in the fridge or in the pot or in the kitchen but you leave it on a plate in the backyard, and then you have a fight with the neighbour because his cats eat the meat, you’re crazy. Isn’t this true?
I don’t know. I guess none of us will, until someone at Democratic Underground performs a scientific demonstration of the Cat-Plate Theory.
If you take uncovered meat and put it on the street, on the pavement, in a garden, in a park, or in the backyard, without a cover and the cats eat it, then whose fault will it be, the cat’s, or the uncovered meat’s? The uncovered meat is the disaster. If the meat was covered the cats wouldn’t roam around it. If the meat is inside the fridge, they won’t get it.
But if the meat is outside the fridge, and the cats are inside the fridge, they won’t get it either. For a long, long, time. Trust me on this.
If the woman is in her boudoir, in her house and if she’s wearing the veil and if she shows modesty, disasters don’t happen.
Except the disaster of someone being made a prisoner in her own house.
Satan sees women as half his soldiers. You’re my messenger in necessity, Satan tells women you‘re my weapon to bring down any stubborn man. There are men that I fail with. But you’re the best of my weapons.
Women—Satan’s minions!
The woman was behind Satan playing a role when she disobeyed God and went out all dolled up and unveiled and made of herself palatable food that rakes and perverts would race for. She was the reason behind this sin taking place.
“Rakes.” Haven’t heard that one for a few centuries. Next: the Sheik denounces “bounders” and “cads”. Helpfully, Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty identifies the major crucial issue arising from this whole controversy:
“if we are not careful, I think we risk raising a generation of Australians who will have a bias against Islam.”
UPDATE. A terrible punishment for Meatboy:
Sheik Taj el-Din al Hilaly, the Muslim leader at the centre of a storm over comments blaming women for rape, will be giving no more sermons for several months at Lakemba mosque, senior Muslims say.
But no further action is to be taken against Australia’s top Muslim cleric for likening scantily dressed women to uncovered meat and saying they’re responsible for sexual attacks ...
The board of the Lebanese Muslim Association decided that Sheik Hilaly had been misinterpreted.
UPDATE II. In 1998, Detective John Doran visited the Sheik in his office:
I noted that the sheik had a Stars and Stripes Uncle Sam recruiting poster on the wall behind his desk, with a caption, ‘I want to murder your women and children’.
UPDATE III. The Toronto Daily News: “Muslim Cleric Is a Sick Man, Says Daughter.”
UPDATE IV. A view from the United Arab Emirates: “We predict a riot.”
The woman was behind Satan playing a role when she disobeyed God and went out all dolled up and unveiled and made of herself palatable food that rakes and perverts would race for. She was the reason behind this sin taking place.
I have to agree with damufti on that one point. Muslims typically ARE rakes and perverts. I’ve already seen what they’ll do to a scantily clad donkey, and it ain’t pretty…
Keysar Trad: He said the Islamic religion says “you should not look at women, you must not touch them, so obviously, you can’t rape them”. “The scanty dress might seem like an invitation, that’s what he said, and that invitation must be resisted. He was trying to encourage his flock toward modesty and chastity.”
Hey Keysar, I’m so sorry you’re so stupid. Women don’t invite rape you shitbird. Its ALL about you and your satanic cult’s utter lack of humanity. The sooner the world is rid of Islam the better. There isn’t enough room in the world for both the likes of you raping, lying dirtbags and the rest of us. I vote YOU go.Wow, I didn’t think your cops (wallopers?) were that goofy.
High-ranking executives in police departments throughout the English-speaking world are frequently political appointees who have little to no experience on the street. They’re chosen not for their ability to combat crime, but their ability to kiss ass.

Here’s a good link for Miami’s KC. There’s catmeat in the video, but it’s pretty well-covered, although there are no hijabs. A perverse admirer of the unclean species known as canine, decadent KC does his part to help real cats (and dogs) get meat by lavishing his ill-gotten wealth on the local humane societies.
Isn’t there a psychologist who reads this blog?
To revisit an old theme, it’s cognative dissonance that drives these crazies crazy.1. The Muslim man is strong, brave, ready for jihad at any moment. BUT he is helpless at the sight of a woman’s hand or nose.
2. The Muslim man is strong and brave, BUT gets his jollies blowing up a market full of innocent women and children.
To confront this hourly for a millenium is enough to make the whole culture nuts.

Paco Labs attempted to conduct just such an experiment. Our technicians placed one (1) bowl of ground beef outdoors in an area enclosed by a wire fence, and one (1) cat in the self-same enclosure. After two hours, the cat had not gone near the ground beef, but did give birth to six kittens. The theological ramifications were not immediately apparent; however, Paco Labs is pleased to offer for sale six darling kittens - pedigreed Persians, with papers, all appropriate vaccinations administered - no reasonable offer refused!

Change ‘Australians’ to ‘everybody in the freakin’ world’ and it makes sense.
I would love to borrow the Paco Inc. Time Discomboobulator for a bit just to see how history books see this interesting period we are living thru.
I just hope it’s not in Arabic….Naaaa. Silly me, the Arabs haven’t written anything about history since 762. I expect the flyleaf would read…
“Now that Mecca and Medina have cooled enough for parking, historians again debate the strange death cult which once boasted nearly a billion members…”
Hmm, it was women, no it was prostitutes, now it’s “premarital fornication” Did I miss anything? And is the SMH so bereft of morals it doesn’t realise that fornication by definition, is premarital sex?
Oh yes Ed #19, the Koran is based in part on the Old Testament because Mo was illiterate and the Bible wasn’t translated into Arabic until about 100 years after Mo died, and well the Koran has no narrative or thematic structure but you can read Genesis to Kings and still follow the story to even put the prophets into their context. I think you will find the “connections” are much more tenuous and indirect…to put it mildly.Isn’t it funny that the Dear od Sheihk’s sermon “didn’t translate well” into English ans was “taken out of context”, but at the same time his “apology” was perfectly translated. I think it was taken out of conext as well. Sounds like taqqiya to me.

As for Mick Keelty, well, sir, just in case you didn’t realise, there are more than one generation biased against islam. You can thank Trad, the Sheikh and the postal brigade with their separatist antics for that.
And there are also a sh*tlaod of people biased against the police, too.
That’s courtesy of the post-Cronulla arrests (excuse me? wha? there were none? Oh,) the ludicrously light sentencing procedures and idiocy like the multiculti book put out a couple of years back describing how sensitive we have to be to minorities. My particular fave bit? Where in cases of domestic violence, women should preferably be interviews with the head of the family present, or deal with the religious leader of the community.
Read your quran, idiot, if she’s beaten it’s because she should be, and hubby is most likely the perpetrator. As if they’ll be cooperating with the likes of kaffir coppers.

Apologist worked for jihadi journal
The man who was first to jump to the defence of Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, following his comments comparing women to meat, was the same man who 10 years ago translated jihadi propaganda, including an interview with Osama bin Laden, for an extremist Islamic magazine based in Sydney. [snip]
Mr Trad has carefully remade himself into a readily available voice for moderate Islam in Australia, after being the sheik’s friend and informal spokesman for many years and at one time a translator for the radical Islamic Youth Movement in Sydney. This group’s Nida’ul Islam magazine and website advocated terrorist “martyrdom operations” against the West and famously scored an exclusive interview with the al-Qa’ida terror chief in 1996.
The magazine, which targeted students in the Australian Islamic community, had stated it wanted to reflect the views of the “jihad stream” and promote jihad as the only path to establish the Islamic state.
Yesterday, Mr Trad said he did not agree with the views of IYM, which has been shut down, when he was translating for them and that he had only carried out the unpaid work “to get translation practice”.

I have to agree with Nora that being Satan’s minion (as opposed to the cat’s mignon) is a demotion from the ranks of Karl. Therefore I must decline, as wronwright has not yet felt the full force of my smugness, a project that can only be completed under the auspices of His Dark Majesty.
For some reason, “Shake your Booty” has become the second favorite song of my three year old son (his favorite is the Thomas the Tank Engine Theme Song).
In an incident that will further inspire Europeans to hate Americans, he was teaching the song to his slightly younger Half Belgian-Half German (though technically American) cousin. The cousin, who before that moment spoke only French and German, now apparently has learned how to say “Shake your booty” in English.
#23 saint. Good points for the unwary. Early Islam had only very sketchy contact with Jewish and Christian thought and people.
They only wanted to show their superiority to both, taking their monotheism from Judaism but failing to accept that Christians are also monotheistic.
The Koran includes internally contradictory statements about Jesus’ early life, and includes a claim that he was not in fact crucified but survived. [Remarkable in itself as a historical claim].
Early Moslems used these religions, but knew very little about them, and it shows in the Qr’an.Sheik Sheik Sheik!

I think you will agree that the similarities in the following Churchill speech are just a bit too much of a coincidence:
“If we are not careful, I think we risk raising a generation of English people who will have a bias against Germans. I propose gathering the largest group of social workers this country has ever seen to fight against anti-German bias. The social workers shall go on to the end, they shall counsel against anti-German bias in France, they shall fight anti-German bias on the seas and oceans, they shall fight prejudice with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend against unpleasant bias, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight unpleasant bias on the beaches…”Posted by Margos Maid on 2006 10 26 at 08:08 PM • permalinkLove segments of the ABC’s spin on this - condemnation, followed by a reminder on how such views are apparently common in the wider community.

“If you get a kilo of meat, and you don’t put it in the fridge or in the pot or in the kitchen but you leave it on a plate in the backyard, and then you have a fight with the neighbour because his cats eat the meat, you’re crazy. Isn’t this true?”
This can be tried at home. Guess what? My neighbour’s cat did eat my minced beef. I tried it again and the Lamptons’ ginger tom ate some delicious lamb cutlets we were going to have for dinner. At this point my wife began behaving strangely.
Logically, no number of positive outcomes at the level of experimental testing can confirm a scientific theory, but a single counterexample is logically decisive: it shows the theory, from which the implication is derived, to be false. Because of the spouse’s intervention, I have been unable - as yet - to put the Sheik’s theory on the footing, say, of Special Relativity but who can stop the march of reason?
“He said the speech did not translate well to English…”
Incitement to rape sounds much nicer in Arabic, I guess.
Posted by Dave Surls on 2006 10 26 at 09:15 PM • permalinkI have had the misfortune to listen to RN this morning. Even the cult members who claim to be appalled are all resorting to context, using words like “mistake”, and generally not making any sense. Not a one has clearly stated that the rape-inciting mysogynist cult leader is wrong.
Pru Goward is right: deport him. Cancel his passport while he’s overseas.
Over recent times, a few people have made unprompted comments about this cult and its members. These are people who most definitely have socially liberal views who have said that this cult is a problem.

That should fill Australian women with confidence in the commitment of the Australian Federal Police to uphold the law. Keelty should worry less about what future generations of Australians think of muslims and more about what current generations think of him. It seems he would prefer to be a shariah law enforcement officer.

Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2006 10 26 at 09:34 PM • permalinkI have been a supporter of the Bulldogs rugby league team in Sydney for many years and attend several games a year. Over the last few years surprisingly the majority of fans attending the game are female (despite the riots, bad press etc) and of those females a large proportion are lebanese and many of these Muslim. I never see headscarfs but I do see lots of bare flesh and “bling”.
As another point of interest my work takes me every now and then to Bankstown Square mall which is in the heart of Muslim territory. 3 years ago when I visited it was full of women wearing the completely covered gear. Last month I was there and out of all the women I saw, only one was not in western gear. I know its not statistically valid but in my experience Lebanese women at least have already voted and the Shiek’s sermon was one of despair from the loser of the battle. They are becoming Australian very fast and there is no way back for him or the rest of the old guard.

The problem is that the feminists were all Leftists. Today their Western daughters have aligned themselves with Islam and therefore cannot speak out for fear of betraying their higher ideals.I see the Islamic headdressing as one of three things:
It is done out of fear and submission
or
It is done because the Islamic women believe it is a symbol of their superiority to the rest of us in the immoral West
or
It is done out of ignorance, where the girls/women believe it is a religious and/or cultural tradition.You insensitive yobbos really ought to give this man a break.

Does anyone else see any similarities in the Koran and the Old Testament?
Posting such an inanity when ol’MentalFloss is in the room is just asking for it. Here we go…(prolly take a couple posts, forgive me Andrea)
Every trait, without exception, has the potential to cause either a sanctification of G-d’s Name or a desecration of G-d’s Name depending upon the circumstances in which, and the motivation with which, it is exercised.
Can we take that as given? Good.
That being said, the issue becomes one of proper discernment – the ability to distinguish between those situations which require mercy and forgiveness and those which require strict justice and vengeance (AND I STRESS THE COMMUNAL NATURE OF BOTH SITUATIONS).Anyway, this above “discernment” is no easy task as can be seen from the vantage point of one of the most perplexing incidents in the Torah, namely, the massacre at Shechem (see, if you wish, Gen. 34:1-31). On the surface, Scripture—that is to say, G-d—appears to adopt a neutral, or at least ambiguous, attitude towards this incident, with Jacob stridently condemning it, and Shimon and Levi just as stridently defending it, after which the text abruptly goes on to another subject. But a closer examination reveals that such is not actually the case.
To summarize: Shechem, son of King Chamor and Prince of the City of Shechem (the site of modern-day Nablus), kidnapped and raped Dina, Jacob’s daughter.
Prince Shechem then “fell in love with her” (as you do, eh?) and persuaded his father Chamor to negotiate a marriage contract for her with Jacob. Jacob’s sons, in an act of revenge, tricked all of the adult males of the City, including King Chamor and Prince Shechem, into circumcising themselves on the pretext that Dina would then become Prince Shechem’s wife and the Jewish nation would thereafter freely intermarry with the Shechemites until they became one people.
Shimon and Levi—what a couple of cut-ups, eh?
However, on the third day after the mass circumcision, when the Shechemites’ pain was the greatest, Shimon and Levi slaughtered all of the adult men of the city and freed Dina from Prince Shechem’s house. They then captured the city’s women and children, confiscated all of the people’s possessions, and departed.
(continued…)
Posted by MentalFloss on 2006 10 27 at 01:34 AM • permalinkNow, at first glance (to some), it appears that Prince Shechem repented of his crime of rape by offering to make Dina his Princess, and that the entire adult male population of Shechem furthered this effort by agreeing to accept circumcision, thereby entitling the city to obtain mercy and forgiveness from Jacob’s family
. And again, at first glance, it appears that Shimon and Levi responded to this repentance by breaking G-d’s Prohibitions against lying, murder and theft.But a closer examination is in order. The text relates that: “Jacob’s sons arrived from the field when they heard; the men were distressed and were fired deeply with indignation, for he [Prince Shechem] had perpetrated an outrage in Israel by lying with a daughter of Jacob - such a thing may not be done!” (Gen. 34:7).
Please note the use of the phrase “outrage in Israel” when the text otherwise refers to the name “Jacob”.
You might remember that G-d had changed Jacob’s name to “Israel” after Jacob’s confrontation with the angel on the east bank of the Jordan River. As the Torah relates: “He [the angel] said, ‘No longer will it be said that your name is Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with the Divine and with Man and have overcome.’” (Gen. 32:29).
After the massacre of Shechem, G-d reaffirmed this transformation: “Then G-d said to him, ‘Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not always be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.’ Thus, He called his name Israel.” (Gen. 35:10).
Clearly then, Scripture is making a distinction between the individual known as Jacob, father of Dina, and the nation of Israel which is named after, and led by, Jacob. As the text thereby reveals through its employment of the phrase “outrage in Israel”, in G-d’s Eyes Prince Shechem’s crime was not primarily directed against Dina or even against the Patriarch Jacob, as individuals, but rather against the embryonic Jewish nation and, by extension, against the G-d of Israel, as Protector of the Jewish nation.
This created a situation of national Chillul Hashem (desecration of G-d’s Name) requiring the Jewish nation to take immediate revenge against the City of Shechem in order to blot out the Chillul HaShem and thereby replace it with a Kiddush HaShem (sanctification of G-d’s Name).
Upon learning of the massacre, Jacob stridently rebuked Shimon and Levi. As the Torah relates: “Jacob said to Shimon and Levi, ‘You have gotten me into trouble and caused me to be repulsive to the Canaanites and Perrizites who live in the land. I am few in number, and should they band together and attack me, I will be annihilated—I and my household.’” (Gen. 34:30).
(continued…)Posted by MentalFloss on 2006 10 27 at 01:35 AM • permalinkPlease note carefully Jacob’s exact words; he does not question the morality of his sons’ actions, but only its practical consequences, namely, the fact that it might cause the surrounding nations to retaliate against him and his family. The censure of his sons was due to his mistaken belief that the doctrine of Pikuach Nefesh (avoidance of danger to life) excused the nation of Israel from exacting immediate revenge in response to the Chillul Hashem committed by Prince Shechem. But his sons’ next words silenced him, and these are the last human words recorded by the Torah on the subject: “And they said, ‘Should anyone be permitted to treat our sister like a prostitute? ’” (Gen. 34:31). Jacob’s silence in the face of his sons’ harsh response indicated his acknowledgment that their moral position was, indeed, correct.
Shortly thereafter we learn that: “They [Jacob and his family] set out, and there fell a G-dly terror on the surrounding cities, so that they [the inhabitants of the surrounding cities] did not pursue Jacob’s sons.” (Gen. 35:5). By extending His Divine Protection to Jacob’s sons, G-d Himself had the last Word—the brothers’ attack on the Shechemites was thereby justified and sanctified.
(Actually, this is not the only evidence of Divine Ratification of the brothers’ actions; for, generations later, the tribe of Shimon proudly displayed a picture of the City of Shechem on its tribal flag (see Num. 2:2; Bamidbar Rabbah 2:7), something that G-d would never have permitted if the incident was a badge of shame rather than a badge of honor, and the tribe of Levi became, inter alia, the tribe which produced Moses, the tribe which was appointed as protector of the Ark of the Covenant and the tribe which became the source, through Aaron, of the priestly line.)I’m getting to the point now, OK? Thanks for hanging in there.
Why is this story in the Torah anyway? All of the above with no explanation of why the entire City of Shechem—rather than only Prince Shechem and, perhaps, his father, King Chamor—was deserving of death. Well, the Torah is like that – tell the story and let everyone have a looooong think about what it all means.
Cut straight to RAMBAM (Maimonides): In viewing the City of Shechem as a collection of individual citizens with individual responsibilities, he opines that: “All the residents of [the City of] Shechem incurred a death sentence because [Prince] Shechem stole and raped, and they saw and they knew, yet did not put him on trial”.
You probably see now where I am going with this. What we see here, in this very strange incident given such prominence in the Torah, is a philosophy in complete diametrical opposition to what Sheikh Hilali is preaching and all the texts and scholars of Islam that he cites.
Similarities between the Torah and Quran? A couple name and places (not Jerusalem, though – not even mentioned once in the Quran!) in common perhaps, but I will stand ready to debate anyone on any deeper or more significant commonalities.

I understand your point. From my perspective, passages in the Torah are simply pseudo-historical accounts written by one party. Accordingly, they’re biased. Who can know what G-d intended? But whatever he intended, I very much doubt it was to allow one people to kill (murder perhaps?) another, especially over the rape of one woman. The chosen people? I can’t see it. Aren’t we all his chosen people?
I’m inclined to use the Bible as a guide to doing good, not an inviolable law. I wish the Muslims could do likewise with respect to their holy book.
