Preaching Mainstream Religious Muslim Views.

Note: It is good that Sheik Hilali will be dumped from the Prime Minister's Muslim Reference Group. He is an imam; all imams should be excluded from any muslim group in Australia that is connected with the government.

What he preached was simple straightforward contemporary religious muslim views. Sorry to upset the fantasists in Australia who think that religious muslims have Western views on life and history.

Mufti to be dumped from PM's council
July 18, 2006 - 6:25AM

Australia's most senior Islamic cleric will be dumped from Prime Minster John Howard's Muslim advisory board after calling the Holocaust a "Zionist lie".

The Mufti of Australia, Sheik Taj Aldin Alhilali, holds a senior position on the Muslim Community Reference Group.

But Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Andrew Robb, said the Egyptian-born leader would be stripped of the role when the group's membership is reviewed next month.

"It's unlikely he will continue," Mr Robb told The Australian newspaper.

He called the Mufti's comments about the Holocaust "offensive and divisive".

Reference group chairman Ameer Ali said he was not surprised by the Sheik's comments but urged the government not to sideline the spiritual leader.

"He is part of the community and the government should make use of him rather than push him aside," Mr Ali told the paper.


Comment: The dropping of the imam Hilali was effected by pressure from Australian Jews and Israelis, as well as many politicians on both sides of Parliament. This is perfectly legitimate; the application of political pressure is how democracy works.

A sensible government would now leap on this opportunity to pressure all the other imams in Australia (about 60 odd) and use their support for Hilali to send them out from Australia and not allow replacements.

This won't happen because the dopes in Canberra still think that somewhere there is an 'Islam' that is not like Hilali and his attitudes. There isn't.

Is anyone awake in Canberra?
