| Sheik "catfood" Hilali praises Iraq Hard Boyz |
| 2006-10-30 |
| TAJ Din al-Hilali has praised militant jihadists in Iraq and Afghanistan, calling them men of the highest order for fighting against coalition forces - which include Australian soldiers - to "liberate" their homelands. In an interview on Arabic radio two weeks ago, the imam based at Sydney's Lakemba mosque said he was opposed to terror attacks in Madrid, London and New York but strongly endorsed fighters in the Palestinian territories, Iraq and Afghanistan. In the interview, Sheik Hilali pays tribute to Sayyid Qutb, the ideologue of the Muslim Brotherhood and intellectual mentor of Osama bin Laden and al-Qa'ida. "Jihad of the liberator of Palestine, that's the greatest and cleanest and highest ... jihad which lifts our heads in pride in south Lebanon," Sheik Hilali says in the October 17 interview. He tells broadcaster Abrahim Zoabi that he endorses jihad for liberation. "We are talking about ... jihad of liberating our land, jihad of Muslim Afghanis in their land - that's jihad. "Jihad of Iraqi Muslims is jihad, but not when Sunnis and Shias are killing each other - that's not jihad." The revelation comes as a neighbouring cleric from Sydney's Bankstown accused Sheik Hilali of supporting military Islamic jihad against the West and called on imams from around the country to band together to force the mufti to step down. Sheik Ibrahim El-Shafie said yesterday Sheik Hilali was a follower of the Egyptian Islamic scholar Qutb, one of the founding fathers of modern jihad, whose teachings are used by al-Qa'ida and Jemaah Islamiah. |

| #4 Yup, SpecOp35, if this sick fuck departs, lock the door after him and gin up some elaborate immigration review requirement for al-Hilali that requires at least ten years to process. This last round of spewing is nothing but treason. Al-Hilali is openly advocating the killing of Australian nationals serving in Iraq. Enough of such ingratitude. I find it particularly curious that only now are other Muslims stepping up and denouncing al-Hilali as a false moderate. This SOB has been spewing such bile for many years. How is it that the content of his sermons has suddenly become inappropriate? Simple answer, all of this is for public consumption. Almost everyone involved in this attended the Lakemba mosque. They heard al-Hilali's unvarnished words and DID NOTHING. Now that this asshole's ravings are posing a threat to the antipodean ummah's false mantle of peaceablility, suddenly al-Hilali's ouster becomes an issue. Expect this everywhere there are "moderate" Muslims in charge. This is nothing but camouflage for the usual pursuit of global sharia. Only radical reform of Islam will work. Such reformers will have to stack up dead jihadists like cordwood before there can be any hope of Islam's rehabilitation. |

| #3 No return. Once he's out, make sure he never gets back. |

| #2 Wouldn't it be a hoot if on his return his aircraft experienced mechanical difficulties and was forced to make an emergency landing in Kabul? And just so happens, the Afghans had an outstanding warrant on him? |

| #1 Sheik Hilali is heading to Mecca in December. The Borg Cube is calling. I'll pitch in for the purchase of a rope. |
