How about admitting the truth - that instead of it just being a case of a nutcase ranting, it's an example of how it's the muslim leaders that are helping create the world-wide problem.

I am getting sick and tired of people that will lower themselves to this extent in an attempt to defend their own - who in this case are indefensible.

Is this true? I was under the impression that leaving the muslim faith was not quite that easy.

What about the boys currently being investigated in Werribee? They are mostly Italian/Australian Catholics.

As I said, if muslims were really listening to him, they would be out raping australian women right now, but thats not the case.

The problem is that all the wrong people are giving leaders like this attention by going to their sermons. The general public needs to pay attention to this "nut" and all those like him.

I am sicn and tired of people like you constantly accusing me without any basis for your claims. When did I defend the mufti? You are doing nothing but promoting hate towards muslims. If you read my post, I specifically stated that I was against the mufti's opinion. Also, I was called out by another one like you, DoctorFungi. So I had to come and give him a piece.
As usual, people like you come bashing at me no matter what I say, just cause I am muslim.

So one stupid guy made a stupid comment and since he is muslim, all of you come bashing at the muslims. What about all the religious leaders across that condemned his words and apologized for it. Why ignore them and listen to this one jerk.

I think this is a perfect example of what Islam truly is. They shouldn't try to hide it, this man was simply speaking the truth of how women are viewed from the Islamic perspective, to think of him as some 'nut case' would not be accurate. Without a doubt he shares the ideals of many muslims.

The issue isn't whether people are acting on what this guy is saying. This issue is where does this guy the mindset that compels him to believe what he is saying.

Who is to know what exactly is being preached in these Mosques in Arabic?
If this is only a small example then it I think it wont be long that it will be law that all sermons will have to done in English.
I wonder why the 500 odd people at the sermon didnt find this disgusting and distressing
Why is it that muslims who surely must go to these mosques and hear this kind of stuff are only apologetic when "caught" or "found out"?
I've known for ages what Muslims really think of western women.
Shame on them for coming to the country that took them in and had a heart and letting their muftis teach such hate and intolerance.

NOT ONE VULGARITY
We have always been fairly tolerant here but I think that is going to change...rapidly
I am currently trying to organise a national day of protest in Australia due to the fact that this morning we have woken to the news that the Sheik is able to continue with his hatred towards 'uncovered meat'

What is really sad is that there are many creepy men who will use his comments as justification for their own behavior.

Mr Howard said the episode was a crucial test for Australia's Muslim community.
"It's not for the government to say who runs a mosque, or who's an archbishop, or who's a rabbi," he told Southern Cross Broadcasting.
Muslim leaders decided not to sack Sheik Alhilali, the mufti of Australia

If you take the time to read the Qur'an and Hadith you'd notice that Islam, if taken literally, percieves women as property who voices have significantly less worth that that of their men.
e problem is that the Qur'an and hadith support his general views on women being a second class; though it, of course, doesn't use words such as "second class".

Likewise, if taken literally, the Bible says that Jesus was resurrected and that he also walked on water, not to mention healed lepers by his very touch.. However, I'm fairly certain that we (now) realize that they are stories...
