Al-Hilali, you see, like so many other Islamic spokesmen, and like the core Islamic texts, is simply operating at another level. Mere infidels can't understand him, or the Qur'an, or anything else Islamic. When they call for jihad against infidels, when al-Hilali says women are to blame if they are raped, their words don't mean what they appear to mean. When the Qur'an says a man may beat his disobedient wife, it doesn't really mean what it appears to mean. It is all just so complex, you see. So easily misunderstood. When al-Hilali's words are reported, it is the media's fault. Not his. When someone writes about what the Qur'an actually says, he does it because he hates Islam and Muslims. Got it now?
From Australia's ABC News Online, with thanks to all who sent this in:
The new Mufti of Australia says his predecessor, Sheikh Taj el-Din Al Hilali is a good man who has been misunderstood by the media.Sheikh Fehmi Naji El-Imam has taken on the role as the Mufti of Australia after Sheikh Al Hilali decided not to continue on as the top Australian imam yesterday.
Speaking at his Melbourne mosque, Sheikh El-Imam tried to avoid questions about his controversial predecessor, who once compared scantily clad women to pieces of meat.
The new mufti says his predecessor is a good man and has urged the media to be more accepting of people from other cultures.
"As we say there is a freedom of speech in this country - fair enough, let us have freedom of speech," he said.
He has also blamed the media for labelling Sheikh Al Hilali as controversial and says he wants to see a better relationship with a more accepting media in the future....
Sheikh El-Imam says his predecessor has a good side and has been misunderstood.
"Maybe sometimes you let your tongue go too far, but still maybe you don't mean to harm others," he said.

Don’t Laugh: ‘Muslims would ‘wage Jihad for Australia’
Waleed Aly means it:
“If you defend your country you are doing Jihad so we’ll do Jihad for Australia, to defend Australia.”
Keep your shoes and socks on people: Its all happening here and now.

"The new mufti says his predecessor is a good man and has urged the media to be more accepting of people from other cultures."
...UH, Can we use Islam as an example of the acceptability of plurality or of acceptance of people from other cultures?.....
...oh, he did say he has urged the media to be more accepting....he did not say he urged Muslims to be more accepting of people from other cultures.....
...He is just another crazed, bearded, finger pointing Islamic cleric intent on domination....He just didn't say so today....

Sheikh Fehmi Naji El-Imam's little flock of islamist have no problem with the koran, you infidels how dare you try to read the koran and see the connection of head choppers and suicide bombers in the koran. So long as these islamist clerics to not see the error in their koran, islamist will go on killing all those non muslims and those muslims not good enough or arab enough.

'Sheikh Taj el-Din Al Hilali is a good man'
He is certainly a 'good Muslim'; which is bad news for everyone else.
Oh, meet the new boss. Exactly the bloody same as the old boss.

Sheikh El-Imam says his predecessor has a good side and has been misunderstood.
"Maybe sometimes you let your tongue go too far, but still maybe you don't mean to harm others," he said.
But then again, maybe you do mean to harm others.
Honestly, the best thing is to let these idiotic imams keep talking.

"As we say there is a freedom of speech in this country - fair enough, let us have freedom of speech,"
Freedom of speech does not equate freedom from scrutiny and/or criticism. What an idiot.

Sheikh Catmeat did us all a service in spite of himself. He blew Islam's cover, permanently.
Ordinary bluecollar Aussie blokes don't like it when their wives, daughters, sisters and girlfriends are compared to 'uncovered meat'. And they have seen plenty of evidence to suggest that the average Muslim male, when confronted with a golden Aussie girl at the beach, does in fact behave exactly like a tomcat. Hence the Cronulla riots...No amount of spin will remove these unpleasant impressions from the mind of the common bloke.
It will take a little longer to wake up our intelligentsia. However: those who watch our national TV will have heard the delightful, clever and clear-headed Ayaan Hirsi Ali telling them that Mr Hilaly is not some weird aberration - that he does indeed represent standard Islamic thinking about women, and men, and sex. Those who follow events such as the Sydney Writers' Festival just recently, at which Ms Ali was a sell-out attraction, will have been given plenty more to think about.
I think we are waking up, here in Australia. Islam is utterly alien to us. It is totally alien to Euro-Australian culture; and it is totally alien to Indigenous Australian culture (since indigenous culture runs high to glorious visual arts, music, dance, and people dressed in a lot of ochre paint and not much else - e.g. Bangarra Dance Company, also 'Ten Canoes'). And no amount of spin will convince either white OR black Australians otherwise, just as soon as enough of us latch onto people like Spencer and Hirsi Ali and 'get' what Islam is REALLY trying to do to us.

Will he break out into soulfull (but islamic) song of a rendition of
"I'm just a lonely boy, misunderstood and blue, all I ever wanted (Australia), was to get along with you"

"As we say there is a freedom of speech in this country - fair enough, let us have freedom of speech," he said.
He just doesn't understand freedom of speech. Freedom of speech means you can make heinous remarks, as did his predecessor, and not go to jail for it.
I wonder if, in America, where we have Orwellian "hate-speech" laws, if Al-Hilali would be busted for hate-speech. Clearly, he hates women.
Nah... women aren't a "race".

Western nations need to misunderstand these ass-clowns on a whole new level. We need a western Kemalism. We need to stomp these bastards into the ground and offshore them.

He called for greater co-operation between the Muslim community and the media.
“I want it to be a good relationship all the way, sometimes people say `we don’t like media’ I say let us like media … and let us like each other, let us know how to live with each other, how to handle each other, how to deal with each other.”
What he really means is how he can possibly get the media to shut up and engage in self-censorship. At a recent talkfest/wankfest with Islamo-fascist infil-traitors in Berlin the Muhammedans demanded 'at least' 30% 'positve reporting' in the German news media.

"As we say there is a freedom of speech in this country - fair enough, let us have freedom of speech," he said.
As we say: and what will you give us in return?
"Maybe sometimes you let your tongue go too far, but still maybe you don't mean to harm others," he said.
That's what we call "yelling fire in a crowded theater". That's what we call "incitement".
"The new mufti says his predecessor is a good man and has urged the media to be more accepting of people from other cultures."
More accepting of other cultures?
Oh if only your people felt the same way. Show me a church or a synagogue in Mecca and then we'll talk.

Mufti Muzzler... lol
at June 12, 2007 10:15 AM
Yeah, Mufti Muzzler was great. However, seeing Sheik Fehmi Naji el-Imam's statement about Bin Laden and 9/11 begs the question - what was the problem that the Australian imams who removed Hilaly was trying to solve?

Meet the new mufti same as the old Mufti. Don't get fooled again!!!

"As we say there is a freedom of speech in this country - fair enough, let us have freedom of speech," he said."
True so long as Muslims aren't in control of the country.

"The new mufti says his predecessor is a good man and has urged the media to be more accepting of people from other cultures."
I can believe that. Considering that Evil is good and Good is evil in Islam, He's clearly a good man.
Posted by: rational at June 12, 2007 4:33 PM
lol...I wish he'd come here and TRY to *ahem* "teach" ME some "manners", & watch the outcome. He'd be welcome to go for it at his convenience.
*WEG*
LAN ASTASLEM!
