Sheik Hilaly rushed to hospital after collapsing in Mosque
2006-10-30
CONTROVERSIAL cleric Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilaly has been taken to hospital after fainting at Lakemba Mosque. NSW Police Inspector David Donohue said the sheik was taken to hospital shortly after 1pm (AEST). He did not know his condition but said officers accompanied him to hospital.
Sepsis?
More likely the vapors.
Outside the mosque, Lebanese Muslim Association president Tom Zreika would not confirm the sheik had fainted. He said that "due to unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to continue our private meeting" with the sheik. "He's okay," Mr Zreika said.

An AAP reporter at the mosque said officers drew an orange plastic tarpaulin across the driveway at the mosque to block the ambulance from the view of waiting media. It left through a through a rear entrance to the mosque.

Sheik Hilaly took ill late last week after sparking controversy over his comments in a sermon which compared immodestly dressed women to uncovered pieces of meat. He has a history of past medical trouble and suffers from asthma.

Isn't that nice. It's not everyone who gets a police escort to hospital, after a fainting attack.

#15  Muzzy SOP - Bashir did the same in Indo when the Bali investigation pointed his way. Worked, too.

Muzzy Victimhood. It's not just a ploy, it's a lifestyle.

#12  Oztralian, apparently Fred was playing under the hood again yesterday. I poked my head into the O Club for a club soda, and they were using computer jargon *shudder* I was afraid to so much as wave from the doorway.

#11  CONTROVERSIAL cleric Sheik ? What could be controversial about a terrorist for my pig Allah?

Side note: Where are the moonbat women's rights groups denouncing this camel turd...?

#10  Aw, cut him some slack will you?

I'm pretty sure he is not responsible for what he said, and my guess is he was under the spell of cat parasite's mind-control. They made him tell that! That explains everything!

That's the only rational explanation, because islam is a Religion Of Peace(Tm), or so I'm told.

#9  Muslims are fatalists. Everything is God-Willing (Inshallah). This incident will end the undeserved credibility that Hilaly had. He is a Wahabi, but the Sauds wouldn't want his kind in the Kingdom.

#5  The sheik had been due to meet with the Lebanese Muslim Association (LMA) today before a final decision was made on his future.

I agree, it's all a big act to gain sympathy. He just happened to 'faint' during a meeting to decide on his future as the wanna b self-appointed-Mufti.

#4  I bet this is a ploy to get sympathy. He will, of course, miraculously recover.

#2  Bet you feel like a "Piece of meat" NOW, Sheik.
