| Sydney shop selling Muslim hate DVDs |
| 2007-01-17 |
| A company in western Sydney is a prime source for DVDs that contain extremist Islamic rantings against Jews, women and “infidels”, the AJN has learned. Islam 1 Productions, based in Minto, provides an online service for the production and distribution of Muslim fundamentalist DVDs that featured prominently in a UK documentary that aired on Britain’s Channel 4 this week. The documentary, titled Undercover Mosques, exposed established British mosques – including London’s Central Mosque – that are selling DVDs predicting the mass killing of world Jewry and denigrating women and “infidels”. The DVDs, which are produced in NSW and distributed worldwide, include sermons made by Sydney-based Sheikh Feiz Mohammad and lectures given in Australia by American Sheikh Khalid Yassin. In one DVD, titled Signs of the Hour, Sheikh Feiz imitates the noise of a pig when referring to the Jewish people, who he says will be killed on the “day of judgement”. In another, Sheikh Yassin speaks of the “filth” that Christians and Jews believe in. The director of Islam 1 Productions, Lebanese-born Subi Alshaik, told the AJN that his company had been unaware of the inflammatory nature of some of the DVDs and would “remove them from the shelves”. But as the AJN went to press, the DVDs were still listed on the website. Alshaik explained that the company’s webmaster was “away on holiday”. Alshaik said that most of the DVDs of Muslim clerics, including the ones by sheikhs Feiz and Yassin, were taped in Australia. Sheikh Feiz is based in Liverpool, Sydney Yassin visited Australia in 2005. Alshaik claimed, however, that in many cases the company itself did not monitor the contents of the tapes, but inscribed them directly onto the DVDs. “Obviously we do not agree with racist statements. We are not out to defame anyone. We realise times are changing,” Alshaik said. He added that the lecture tapes series had helped to establish his company financially, but that the company was now focusing on producing DVDs that teach the tenets of Islam to young children, and had no interest in promoting inflammatory material. Nonetheless, Alshaik charged Channel 4 and the company that produced the documentary with taking the inflammatory quotes “out of context” and of seeking to “defame Islam”. He said his company was considering legal action against the documentary’s producers for airing portions of the DVDs without the company’s permission. |
