Now he can relax and go back to saying crazy stuff.
"Hilali cleared of charity terror funds allegation," from AAP, with thanks to JE:
DISASTER-prone Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilali has been cleared of claims he diverted charitable funds to the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah.The controversial sheik has been told by the Australian Federal Police that he has no case to answer.
The Lebanese Muslim Association was told in writing on Tuesday there was no evidence to support the claim that the sheik had diverted $16,000 in donations from Australian Muslims to a radio station with links to Hezbollah.
"The AFP assessment has not identified any evidence to support an investigation of persons for terrorist financing offences," AFP spokesman Warren Gray wrote.
..It seems Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilali may have somehow won a battle, but he has not won the war. There is no doubt, with his terrorist supporting agenda, that he will find his way back in the news and in the courts. The authorities should keep him under constant scrutiny, making note of all those he associates with....he should have been deported on his anti-Australian comments alone..
....across the globe, where ever you find venomous Islamic clerics, you will find violent Muslims...Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilali will no doubt be inspiring Muslims down the path of physical violence, the Australians have been warned...
The Australian Federal Police is headed by an execrable dhimmi, or inexcusable ignoramus on matters Islamic, or worse, one Mick Keelty. He probably has all of Karen Armstrong's books on his bedside table.
Thats a nasty mental image of Karen Armstrong's book on the bedside table. Uh oh I have one from Ibn Warraq there. I need a life.
One thinks of great injustices as involving those falsely accused. Dreyfus, for example. But more often, in recent years, the injustices have involved those who get off, because of one thing or another -- the sentimental belief in the Anglo-American world that juries consist of the intelligent, who are also assumed to be largely free of bias, when there is plenty of evidence, in the tort law, of a crude attempt to redistribute wealth from deep-pocked corporations to a particular plaintiff who may not himself merit the sums extracted, even if society as a whole does, and in the criminal law, of the obvious bias of members of juries intent on scoring points against the larger society. An example of the former can be found in those jury trials where Merck or General Motors is asked to shell out hundreds of millions to a particular plaintiff, when what should rightly be done is to extract the money, but to give only a reasonable amount to that plaintiff and the rest to some fund whose class of beneficiaries will have many more members. An example of the latter is the grotesque trial of, and absurd verdict on, O. J. Simpson, an example of Injustice, Ingiustizia, that cannot be forgotten.
This al-Hilali case, which stops long before a trial, is another sort of injustice. Not enough evidence, you say? Don't be absurd. Read what this Al-Hilali has said, has written. Any and all means should be found to remove him from Australian society. The countries of the West, and of the non-Western Infidel world, have to figure out what they need to do, what needs to be changed, in order to protect themselves against an unprecedented threat, a threat for which their criminal justice systems, from investigative powers to the knowledge possessed by the police, members of other security services (domestic and foreign), judges (who should be chosen, as jury members should be chosen, only from those who know something, even a good deal, about Islam -- and I don't mean by reading armstrongs and espositos and assorted Mesanostrans) are, at this point, simply inadequate.
The Law Reviews should be full of such articles: the inadequacies of our own systems, created by people who, brilliant as they may have been (think of the Framers), were rational, Western men, well-read children of the Enlightenment, some more and some less believers in a bengin faith, who could scarcely have imagined the presence, or menace, of Islam all over the this country and the Lands of the Infidels, all the way to Australia.
Dane is right.
Mick Keelty is a coward and backs off everytime he's supposed to do his job. Either he is afraid having to take Hilali in and fears the 'backlash' from the Muslim community- or he is afraid that the 'brown envelopes' stop coming, as one commentor posted recently.
Something is wrong here.
Perhaps they just hadn't got enough evidence, but it keeps him in the news and some of the mud will stick.
Maybe they can catch lots of other guys if he is on the outside. As bait.
I look for him to come out with something about how our evilness has brought on the Fire, Drought, Tornadoes and Floods of the last few days. NBC this morning tried very hard to blame it on President Bush. (PS I only watch those idiots for the local weather)
