Islamic Advice from Imam Yahu al-Zirius
Spiritual Leader, Fostaz al-Vegimita Mosque
Lakembabongabinga, Sydney, NSW
Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali of Mullagangabanga, NSW asks:
Some of the cobbers at my local mosque spotted some sheilas who weren't wearing their hijabs, so they naturally had a go at raping them. For some reason the coppers loaded them off to gaol! I ask you: if you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it ... whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat?This is a very interesting question. With respect to cats, the Q’ran in Surah 12:45.1(c) states that, “the cat always lands on its paws.” However, Surah 3.14e-9 says that “pita bread always lands hummus-side down.”
Of course, the crafty infidel will see this as a contradiction: what if a believer were to glue a hummus-laden pita to the back of a cat, and hurl it from the local prayer tower? No matter how it hits the ground, the crafty infidel will say it invalidates Q'ranic infalibility! This is where the meat comes in. The key is to first put the uncovered meat between the cat and the pita, in a sort of cat-meat-pita sandwich. As it plummets from the tower, the cat will eat through the glue to get at the delicious uncovered meat, thereby freeing the pita to land hummus side down, and the meat-refreshed cat to land happily on its paws. In this way you may demonstrate to the crafty kuffar the eternal perfection of the sacred Word of Allah, as revealed through His Prophet (peace be unto him). Also, if the crafty kuffar is an uncovered woman, don't forget to rape her.
I wonder how many people remember Yahoo Serious?
I allways need a couple of Foster's before I can understand them, or stand on my head for a while ...
That Iowayhawk gotta sum kind PhD in BS but there's no BS like Moozlem BS
<< I wonder how many people remember Yahoo Serious? >>
You mean that Aussie film maker who is a bit of a yahoo but with a bit of a serious side to'im too? A Young Einstein?
Who in his right mind could forget him?
LOL! This slimebag scumbucket who doesn't deserve to be pee'd on if he was on fire, has more lives than a cat...he's been arrested for smuggling activities by Egyptian authorities, (and got off scot-free) 20 muslim groups in Australia have been trying to get him replaced because he's an embarrassment (but he has the support of the Lebanese muslims because of his praise for Hezb'allah) our police have had their eye on him almost day and night, he was fined for driving an unregistered vehicle and carrying a dangerous load. ( He accused the police of using Chicaco-gangster tactics in their treatment of him) He was on the verge of being deported, and some Left wing politician saved him at the last minute. ( All those Lebanese muslims votes do count.)
During the Woods kidnapping in Iraq, he flew over there to act as negotiator between the kidnappers and Woods' brothers...a very suspect operation. (the Mufti claimed to have rescued Woods, but Woods stated quite clearly he had never heard of al-Hilali...(methinks he was really after a share of the ransom money) and that's just what I know of, off the top of my head.
Now, for some reason or other...things are coming to a head. Even SBS, our 'so-far-to-the-Left-broadcaster-it's-a-wonder-they-don't-tip-over' repeated his 'sermon' on air word for word...
Has al-Hilali become a liability to his supporters on the Left? Obviously. Those 20 muslim groups who want to get rid of him also vote, don't they...hmmm?

Sheik meets sucker
Andrew Bolt
22jun05
Herald Sun
THE freeing of Douglas Wood has embarrassed two fierce critics of our liberation of Iraq.
Monday brought yet more revelations that exposed not only the deceit of Australia's Mufti, Sheik Taj el-Din el-Hilaly, but the naivete of Australia's Journalist of the Year, Fairfax reporter Paul McGeough.
We are learning that much of what one man said and the other reported during Wood's 47-day captivity in Iraq was a fantasy.
Remember how Hilaly claimed to have actually spoken to Wood during his captivity after a stranger handed him a phone?
Here is the May 19 report of that call by McGeough, the influential chief correspondent for The Age and Sydney Morning Herald:
Hopes for the release of Douglas Wood soared yesterday after the hostage was allowed to make a phone call in which he assured the Australian cleric Sheik Taj el-Din el-Hilaly he was alive and well.
"I'm all right," said the hostage of 20 days, before repeating the Arabic term for thank you: "Shukran, shukran."
Nor was Hilaly -- who'd told Wood's captors "I value your jihad" -- the first anti-American sheik McGeough found who claimed to have seen the Australian, or at least his jailers.
McGeough last month repeatedly insisted Australian negotiators deal with his contact, Hassan Zadaan, a corrupt general in Saddam Hussein's army and now backer of the "resistance".
Said McGeough on May 6: "I believe that he did meet with the insurgents who have Douglas Wood yesterday. I think it's highly probable that he laid eyes on Douglas Wood.
"I understand from him that Douglas Wood is being held about 30km from Baghdad which puts him in that southwest arc from the city, if you like, from the triangle of death towns of Latifiyah, Yusufiyah, and Nadahan, right around out to the west to Fallujah."
Aah, the triangle of death. Nice touch.
But it was horsefeathers, as it turns out, just like Hilaly's claim that the Americans should stop hunting terrorists in Iraq's west, because Wood was there -- in Ramadi, 110km from Baghdad -- and would not be released until the assault was called off.
Just run the tape of Wood's press conference in Melbourne on Monday.
First, he confirmed a crucial fact I noted last Friday -- that his captivity had been spent first in one Baghdad house and then, for the last 35 days or so, in another in the same city. He was never in any "triangle of death". Never in Ramadi.
And we got this exchange:
Journalist: Were you at any stage aware that there were moves to have you released by Sheik Hilaly or any other people?
Wood: Never heard of him.
Journalist: His name was never mentioned by your captors?
Wood: No.
No? But what about their chat on the phone? Forget it. Never happened.
Who'd think Hilaly could possibly tell an untruth? Who, but those of us who have dared to condemn the bigotry of this cleric, who was caught preaching jihad against Israel and praising the September 11 attacks, only to claim he'd been badly translated?
Who, but those of us who noted the absurd claims of Hilaly and his spokesman this past month. I'm talking about claims like this one -- false in every detail -- relayed by his translator after Wood's rescue in a random raid by Iraqi troops:
"(Hilaly) said to me that this had been a prearranged pickup, that the location had been communicated to him where Mr Wood could be picked up and that location was communicated to the Australian taskforce."
And the Mufti's untruths continue. On Monday he gave up claiming the credit for Wood's freedom and instead attacked the rescue raid as a "stupid action".
He said it had foiled the deal he'd almost reached for the kidnappers to also free Wood's Iraqi driver and a engineer, captured with him. Waving photographs of what he said were the families of the two Iraqis, Hilaly claimed: "There's a 90 per cent chance that they will not be released alive now."
That's truer than he knows. Australian officials say the two were actually found murdered weeks ago, and their bodies identified by their families on June 17.
But let's turn to McGeough, who has reported Iraq's liberation with such a savage eye that he wrote at least 12 articles last year warning of a "civil war" that still hasn't broken out.
He also fell for the famous beat-up of the "looting" of the Baghdad Museum, and jeered at Iraq's "puppet regime". Before last year's election, he predicted Iraqis were "unlikely to vote in the right numbers to legitimise this process" -- and when, in fact, more than eight million voters defied the terrorists' demand that they stay home, he bizarrely insisted some voted "only because of the gun at their backs".
And now two shady sheiks have sold him the Sahara.
It turns out I'm not alone in doubting Sheik Zadaan, who was raided by Iraqi troops within days of McGeough endorsing him and had more than $200,000 in cash seized from his house. Interrogations confirmed this crook knew zilch about Wood.
I mention McGeough because this insight into his work casts yet more doubt on his biggest "scoop" -- his claim last year that the interim prime minister of free Iraq, Iyad Allawi, personally shot dead six captured insurgents.
This damaging allegation -- inviting readers to believe Allawi was little better than Saddam -- was hotly denied by the Iraqi Government, and dismissed by American investigators, who put Allawi's bodyguards and aides through lie detector tests.
INDEED, McGeough conceded his report was based on nothing more the testimony of two anonymous eyewitnesses, who couldn't agree on key details like the date of the shootings.
Even the jury of this year's Graham Perkin Award, headed by the ABC's Kerry O'Brien, said it could make "no informed assessment" on the truth of McGeough's story, although it still named him our Journalist of the Year for his "wide body of work" in Iraq -- work which persuaded many Australians Iraq was a hell-hole.
But how could it trust the reports of a Leftist war critic so quick to heckle Americans and to believe mendacious sheiks and nameless big-talking "eyewitnesses"?
Of course, it's easy to criticise from my ergonomic chair. Let's not forget: McGeough is in Iraq and I am not. Then again, Wood knows what happened to him, and McGeough's sheiks sure didn't.

Thought I would follow up with some sources...not much else to do right now, LOL!
The Mufti of Australia and New Zealand, Taj Al-Din Hamed Abdallah Al-Hilali, was born in Egypt's Suhag district in 1941. He graduated from Al-Azhar University and served as a preacher in Egypt, Libya, and Lebanon. In 1982 he came to Australia, and in 1988 he was appointed to his present position by the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils. The following is a collection of speeches and writings by Mufti Al-Hilali:
big snip. Read more...http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=12226
ENDNOTES:
(1) Mufti Al-Hilali made headlines in January 2003 when a traffic policeman who stopped him while he was driving a car with building supplies protruding from it insisted on searching him. The mufti objected, claiming, so his spokesman said, that the policeman had pushed him. Following this instance, Mufti Al-Hilali told Australian Channel Seven that in his view the police officer had acted in an "un-Australian" manner: "Police officer, he try to do his job but not through Australian way, I think he try the Chicago way, not Australian way." Reuters, January 7, 2003,
http://uktop100.reuters.com/latest/Aldi/top10/20030106-australia-muslims.ASP On another occasion, Sheikh Al-Hilali stood trial in Egypt on charges of smuggling archeological artifacts, but he said that the Egyptian court cleared him. Al-Bayan (UAE), February 16, 2002.
Al-Haq solves the cat/pita paradox.
I was doing my best to forget.
I have tried this course of action, imam, but the dog doesn't seem to like it very much. It is evidently a kaffir dog who does not understand the enlightened ways of the Middle East...
What's so funny?
...It has long been said that Hilali, who is the imam at the Lakemba Mosque in south-west Sydney, has one message in Arabic and another (in translation) in English. Surprisingly, he did not deny this when the claim was put to him by Doogue. Rather, he responded: "Of course, you are talking about two different environments", and went on to say that "when addressing an Arabic community... I am using the high literary Arabic language". How convenient....
Yes, and so very islamic:
Taqiyya and kitman: The role of Deception in Islamic terrorism
Latest news...last I heard, he refuses to resign, but has given up 'preaching' for three months. Hopefully, he won't be able to talk himself out of this one in that 'high literary arabic' that is simply another word for lies and lies and more lies...
The Australian — NewsKeating stopped sheik's expulsion
Brad Norington
October 28, 2006
THE apology from the sheik was profuse. He had verbally attacked women, endorsed suicide bombings in Lebanon and declared that Jews were plotting world domination.
"The two cheapest things in Australia are the flesh of a woman and the meat of a pig," he said.
Taj Din al-Hilali accepted his words were offensive. "I genuinely believe that I have changed for the better," he insisted.
Nothing, it seems, has changed in the last 20 years. The nation's most senior Muslim cleric was not responding to public damnation over his Ramadan sermon last month in which he blamed women for inciting rape and likened them to abandoned "meat".
Chris Hurford, immigration minister in the Hawke Labor government, tried in 1986 to have him deported after Hilali had overstayed a tourist visa in 1982 and settled in Sydney.
Hurford wanted the sheik sent home to Egypt because his reported utterances were dividing the Muslim community.
But Hilali had two powerful Labor supporters on his side - Paul Keating and Leo McLeay - who would ultimately help him win his quest for permanent residency.
Keating, then federal treasurer, and McLeay, an influential backbencher from his party's Right faction, made no bones about their belief that Hilali should stay and lobbied on his behalf.
They were under pressure from the growing local Muslim community in their neighbouring western Sydney seats of Blaxland and Grayndler.
The Lakemba mosque where Hilali was the spiritual leader was in McLeay's electorate.
"It was a local political issue for people who lived in the electorate," said one observer.
"They took the philosophical view that if people in this religious group wanted Hilali to be their spiritual leader, why should they say no?"
But Hurford and other players close to the action take a different view.
They believe that Hilali was ultimately granted permanent residency by the Labor government in 1990 - in a decision made by Keating himself as acting prime minister while Bob Hawke was away - because the decision could help Labor in federal and state politics.
Barrie Unsworth, who was NSW premier from 1986 to 1988, confirms he and Hilali knew each other but denies he stood to benefit if the sheik was given residency.
"I didn't actively do anything to keep him here," Unsworth toldThe Weekend Australian yesterday.
"I had been to the Lakemba mosque and taken my shoes off and gone in. I met Hilali, I had to deal with him, but I also went to a synagogue in the eastern suburbs and met the head of the Coptic (Egyptian Orthodox) Church at the airport."
Keating did actively try to help Hilali stay.
He led a delegation of Muslim community leaders to see Hurford in his Canberra office in 1986, attempting to persuade the minister to reverse his opposition to the Muslim cleric.
Hurford wouldn't budge and continued to fight Hilali's application for residency in the Federal Court. But he didn't last much longer as immigration minister.
Hawke moved Hurford out of immigration a year later and gave him the community services portfolio of retiring senator Don Grimes.
The move was sold to Hurford as a promotion, but Hurford is understood to believe it was linked to his support for a "good settlement policy" - a view that did not sit well with Labor's version of multiculturalism.
In Hurford's mind, Hilali was a classic case of someone who should be rejected because he refused to integrate into Australian society.
But Hurford's replacement as minister, the late Mick Young, was much more receptive.
Tony Harris, then deputy head of the Immigration Department, recalls that it was Keating who ultimately allowed Hilali to stay in a decision he made as acting prime minister when Hawke was away.
Harris says he and then Immigration head Bill McKinnon believed that Labor had good reasons for giving Hilali residency.
"We surmised that Hilali came from that part of Sydney which was important to several Labor electorates, state and federal, that included Keating's electorate," Harris said.
"It was important to Labor because the party was very close to the Lebanese community.
"The view was that the Lebanese community was influential in selecting Labor candidates and had a heavy presence in electorates in the south and west of Sydney."
Hurford may regard himself as a casualty of refusing residency to Hilali but so, it appears, was the head of his department.
According to McKinnon's son, The Weekend Australian's freedom of information editor Michael McKinnon, his father's position cost him his job.
McKinnon says his late father told him he left the department involuntarily and was offered the job of high commissioner in New Zealand.
"I know he vehemently opposed granting permanent residency to the sheik," said McKinnon.
"My father paid with his job for putting national interest before the political interests of the ALP."
Longtime Labor adviser Richard Farmer says he and then fellow Hawke staffer Bob Sorby were sent to Unsworth's office to help with the NSW Labor government's campaign for the state election in 1988 because of their success with federal Labor the previous year.
Unsworth had only recently switched from the upper house to the lower house, in the southern seat of Rockdale, at a by-election and was very concerned not to lose it.
According to Farmer, the premier wanted to keep Hilali onside and have him take up residency to appease local Muslims.
"I have absolutely no doubt, because there was a big Lebanese community in that electorate and Barrie Unsworth wanted to make sure he was re-elected," Farmer said.
Unsworth rejects Farmer's claim as nonsense, saying the Muslims in his electorate were Shi'ites and attended the Arncliffe mosque, whereas Hilali was a Sunni and the leader of the Lakemba mosque.
"If Farmer says I was looking after Hilali in Rockdale it's nonsense - he fails to understand the structure of Muslim society," said Unsworth.
Unsworth lost the 1988 election and says he gained little campaign help from Farmer, now a winemaker and writer in South Australia, and Sorby, now a NSW judge.
"They were a couple of gunslingers imposed upon me by (NSW general secretary) Stephen Loosely," he said.
"They were uncontrollable."
Other senior Labor sources from that time say that Labor politics was very much mixed up in Hilali's battle to get permanent residency.
"Officially our policy was to send Hilali back but there were stacking wars going on among the Lebanese Muslims and (Christian) Maronites," said one source, who declined to be named.
"It was going on in the seats of St George, Barton and the inner city."
Keating yesterday declined to return The Weekend Australian's call.
But he was pitched at the time against another powerful figure, Lebanese Christian community leader Eddie Obeid, who wanted Hilali out.
Obeid, who owned the El Telegraph newspaper and later became a state Labor MP and minister, lobbied the NSW regional manager of the immigration department to have Hilali deported.
His newspaper printing press in Marrickville was burned down just days after El Telegraph published a story based on a taped recording of an inflammatory sermon by Hilali in 1982, likening the flesh of women to pig meat.
Obeid yesterday declined to comment but a source close to him said: "It was war out there. Burning down that building was the first terrorist act in Australia".

Revealed: the Mufti uncut
Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali has accused the media of misrepresenting his Ramadan sermon at Sydney's Lakemba mosque last month. Below, a new transcript of his speech
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20656690-601,00.html
And finally:
"Born in Egypt in 1941, Hilali in the 1960s joined the Muslim Brotherhood, an extreme Islamist political organisation that claims to be non-violent but that has spawned terrorist groups such as al-Qa'ida through breakaway members. The possible influence of Sayyid Qutb, a Muslim Brotherhood member whose 1966 hanging and "strategic martyrdom" was central to the founding of modern Islamism, in fermenting the Australian Mufti's attitude to women cannot be ignored...
