“Arrested boxer’s father warns of ‘brainwashing’”
Taghred Chandab
July 1, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “THE angry father of an Australian boxing champion arrested in Lebanon for alleged terrorist links has accused radical clerics of brainwashing young Muslims.

Father-of-five Mamdouh Elomar slammed the clerics’ hardline version of Islam, specifically targeting former Liverpool-based preacher Sheik Feiz Mohammed.

Mr Elomar told The Sun-Herald yesterday that he had urged his children to stay away from Sheik Mohammed and the Global Islamic Youth Centre, where he had led prayers.

“Sheiks like Feiz ruin people,” Mr Elomar said from his home in south-west Sydney.

“He is not a sheik; he is brainwashing all these children. I know my religion, so I can tell him when he is wrong, but these kids believe everything he says and think it’s their religion. Someone needs to stop him.

“Today our kids are either at one extreme, partying or using drugs, or at another extreme with their religion. I don’t teach my children to hate non-Muslims. I have taught them to love everyone.”

Mr Elomar’s son Ahmed, 24, nicknamed “Trigger” in boxing circles, was arrested in Lebanon last month with two other Australians, Ibrahim Sabouh and Mohammad Basal, and accused of having links to a terrorist cell in Lebanon. The men have not been charged.”

“Australian boxing champ Ahmed Elomar arrested in Lebanon”
Tuesday, 26 June, 2007 @ 6:28 PM

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Beirut - Reigning national super flyweight boxing champion Ahmed Elomar is among four Australian Muslims arrested in Lebanon on suspicion of having links to terrorists.

And a second Australian, former Sydney taxi driver Omar Hadba, may have been the owner of a workshop found in the Lebanese city of Tripoli brimming with almost half a tonne of weapons and explosives.

The Australian understands that Lebanese security authorities are also interested in questioning former Sydney-based hardline Muslim cleric Feiz Mohamed, who is linked to Elomar, Hadba and two other men arrested in Tripoli.

The arrests came after Hadba, an Australian Muslim, was arrested last Wednesday and alerted authorities to the other men. Lebanese soldiers arrived at a 3mx4m ( 10ftx13ft) workshop on Saturday afternoon and removed an arsenal of weapons and explosives.

According to a man who rented the adjoining shop, Mohamed Chawk, neighbours were stunned at the number of weapons taken away. “I couldn’t believe that he was involved in all of this,” Chawk said. “But when we saw them open the shop it was packed to the roof with guns. We are talking Kalashnikovs, M16s, sniper rifles, hand guns, masks, rocket-propelled grenades, land mines and grenades. It filled up one military truck to the limit.””
