A Muslim cleric in Australia has sparked outrage with his disparaging comments about women, who he claimed are “weapons” used by Satan to control men. According to a report in the United Kingdom’s Daily Mail newspaper, Australia’s most senior Muslim cleric — Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, compared women who do not wear the Islamic headdress with “meat that is left uncovered in the street and is then eaten by cats.” The cleric, after criticism from Australian Prime Minister John Howard and opposition from other civic leaders, has since apologised for the comments. The remarks came during a Ramadan sermon in a Sydney mosque as the Sheik was trying to justify the actions of a group of Muslim men who had been jailed for alleged gang rapes. Saying the make-up-wearing women enticed the men by “swaying suggestively,” and “dressing inappropriately” — without veils — the sheik set off a firestorm of controversy with his analogy about unguarded pet food.
On January 8, 2007, Hilaly appeared on an Egyptian television program. He made a number of comments that sparked criticism in Australia, including the following: * British and Irish settlers arrived in Australia as convicts. Muslims paid for their own tickets, and so have more right to Australia * Prison sentences handed down to Lebanese Australian Muslims for the Sydney gang rapes were excessive and influenced by the September 11, 2001 attacks in the U.S. * Western people, especially the English race, are the biggest liars and oppressors.
Hilaly also condemned the level of rights awarded to homosexuals in Australia, stating "We have Christian churches which allow people of the same gender to marry" and "I understand the mentality of the West and especially the Australian mentality and I understand that the Australian law guarantees freedoms to the point of insanity

People that think like you would be the biggest threat but luckily your numbers are few.

Just a quick question to any one who believes in this threat? At the moment Britons are turning away from religion in record numbers. Why would all these people who have decided they dont believe in religion suddenly decide to take up Islam. Its just not going to happen and for that reason alone the OP is nothing but fear mongering.

Muslim children probably get taught about zionism but abuse and lying about Christians and Jewish faiths is considered a sin.
The Protocols claptrap you bring up is a pile of steaming BS but if the Palestinians use it as propaganda in their fight with the zionists it would be logical.
Now let use address your whining and your concern about antiSemitism from real Semites. Are you Jewish by happenstance or a nazi skinhead on account of your love of the EDL?
I don't agree with the way Edl are going about it and there links to known nazis is shocking but yes radical islam is a threat. i said Radical, not islam itself
The problem with the EDL is that they were hijacked by combat 18/neo nazi types But what do you expect when they organise a demo where ANYONE can turn up. I'm sure many of you have seen the EDL perform nazi salutes. TRUE
Mr Gove told the programme: ‘I have no desire or wish to intervene in the decisions that the Saudi government makes in its own education system. ‘But I’m clear that we cannot have anti-Semitic material of any kind being used in English schools. Ofsted are doing some work in this area. ‘They’ll be reporting to me shortly about how we can ensure that part-time provision is better registered and better inspected in the future.’ The text books for 15-year-olds revive the so-called ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’, which teach that Zionists want to establish world domination for Jews. The Saudi text books instruct pupils: ‘The Jews have tried to deny them (the Protocols) but there are many proofs of their veracity and their origin among the elders of Zion.’ The text books say the ‘main goal’ of the ‘Zionist movement’ is ‘for the Jews to have control over the world and its resources’ which, the book allege, Zionists seek to achieve partly by ‘inciting rancour and rivalry among the great powers so that they fight one another.’ Mr Gove said anyone who cites the Protocols of Zion is ‘indulging in one of the oldest and foulest anti Semitic smears that, that we know of’.
