Aussie Imams told to put a sock in it |

Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilali, the Australian Islamic cleric who said
“women are Satan’s weapons” and compared unveiled women to “uncovered
meat” (and therefore deserving of rape), has been told to keep it on the
down low by the Lebanese Muslim Association: Sheik Hilali banned from
talking to the media. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
FIVE of the nation’s most powerful Islamic clerics, including Sheik
Taj al-Din al-Hilali, have been banned from talking to the media by
Muslim leaders for delivering “anti-Australian” messages.
The Lebanese Muslim Association has gagged the imams from Lakemba
Mosque in Sydney’s southwest from media commentary - especially to
Arabic news outlets - because of the “immeasurable damage” they have
caused the community. A letter was yesterday sent by the Lebanese Muslim
Association to its five imams, including Sheik Yahya Safi - the official
Australian representative to the Mufti of Lebanon - Sheik Shady
Suleiman, and Sheik Hilali.
The letter, obtained by The Australian, demands the imams “pause and
desist” from talking to any media outlet, in particular Sydney’s Arabic
community radio station Voice of Islam. The imams have been told they
could lose their positions as spiritual leaders at the nation’s largest
mosque if they defy the LMA’s orders.
LMA president Tom Zreika yesterday told The Australian the letter
was issued to end the “perceived un-Australian viewpoints given by some
clerics”.
“One of the big issues is the double-speak by the various imams,” Mr
Zreika said. He added that the messages some clerics delivered in Arabic
contradicted comments given in English while talking to the mainstream
media.
Notice that the Lebanese Muslim Association is especially concerned with
stopping these radical sheikhs from talking to Arab media. That’s
because when they’re speaking to the ummah, they’re much more open about
their support for terrorism and jihad. Here’s one example, featuring Al-
Hilali on Arabic radio last October: Rape Sheikh Praised Jihad.

"The Bush critics' position is that we must believe without reservation
or criticism any intelligence that can be used to argue against military
action and that we should never believe any intelligence, however
plausible, that can be used to argue for it. That's not very
intelligent." - Michael Barone

Evidently every religion has a "Pat Robertson" - another good reason
to do away with religion.
