The misguided sheikh and free speech : Comments

By Mirko Bagaric, published 15/1/2007

The splendour of free speech - the impertinent Sheikh Taj al-Din al-Hilali is no longer capable of corrupting Muslim youth.

The Sheikh Al-Hilaly knows his own religion more than those who say he is misguided and unrepresentative.
A beautiful rendition of The Koran is at http://thriceholy.net/Texts/Koran5.html , and I recommend that those who don't recognise its main themes in most of the Sheikh's reported utterances ought to open both eyes.
Use a search engine for such phrases as "strike off the heads" and "do not befriend" and "garments of fire".

To the last post, his own people are calling the MUFTI HITLER like.
That is they are comparing him to a bloke whom gassed millions of people. Not a good thing from your own. Misrepresented I dont think so.

Still he should be allowed to say whatever he wants, its awakening the she'll be right Aussies or skips to the infiltrators intentions.

We now need to set the Sheik up with a chat show on SBS, they could call it "Up late with the MUFTI" or "MUFTI on Monday" perhaps.
Let him go, there will be plenty of people to watch it Keysar Trad can tell us all when hes out of context they could even film it at Lakemba Mosque.
Remember last time this stooge had foot in mouth disease 10,000 people showed up outside the mosque to support him before his swan dive. Ill bet there was more than a few fundamentalests in attendance, hes a very influential man and as such with his comments, will he be charged if and when a terrorist attack happens here.

GO MUFTI GO YOU GOOD THING !

While in no way wanting to justify the comments of the sheikh, I feel this vague sense of disquiet in regard of the reporting of his latest comments which were delivered in arabic. The Australian public seems only to have been fed one translation (please correct me if this is wrong), and possibly from a translator who is not unbiassed. As a native English speaker with some limited ability in Spanish and French (both romance languages, so somewhat easier) I know at first hand how difficult is is to get accurate translations, particularly of thoughts or abstractions.

I will reserve any judgment on this latest issue until I see something that is clearly an unbiassed translation of the sheikh's comments, bearing in mind that a word-for-word translation rarely translates the intended meaning. Perhaps this is a good argument for the sheikh to learn English, that he may impart his wisdom to us with no risk of its being lost in translation.

I love the Mufti. He is not a coward like "so-called" moderate muslims who dont reveal their thoughts.

A few points.

(1) A few of the Australians have convict ancestry. There's no dount about it. That's true. Does that make the descendants immoral?

(2) Some sad buffoons loath about the colonialism. They say we stole the aborigines land blah.. Perhaps they have to read the history at that time. Almost each and every country was stolen by various tribes, people.

Note: These buffoons never point to the land stolen/invaded by Islamic invaders or Hindu kings. But they got a problem with specific people like Anglo-saxons etc.

(3) The Mufti is correct in saying that few of the Australians have convict heritage. But, the mufti fails to realise that all muslims adore a Paedophile and a mass-murderer and hail him as the "Most Perfect" man on the planet earth

"He is not a coward like "so-called" moderate muslims who dont reveal their thoughts."

Oooh, this is a new one. So if a Muslim is radical, thats normal Muslim behaviour, and if they are moderate they must be lying?

In effect, that translates to 'all Muslims are radical and have a hidden agenda', which in turn must translate to: 'I'm a complete nutcase!'
