Australian terror case triggers Muslim summit

2010-02-19

Dozens of senior figures from the Muslim community will attend a crisis meeting tomorrow night in the wake of the sentences handed down this week to five NSW men convicted of terrorism offences. The meeting will be held at the nation's largest mosque, in Lakemba in Sydney's southwest, and will be hosted by Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali -- formerly Australia's most senior cleric. Several other senior imams are expected to attend. The extraordinary meeting was called following an outcry within Sydney's Muslim community about the five offenders being sentenced on Monday to maximum jail terms of between 23 and 28 years for plotting violent jihad on Australian soil. NSW Supreme Court judge Anthony Whealy said that, although there was no evidence that the men had identified a specific target for their crime, the fact that they had stockpiled vast amounts of ammunition and weapons, and were found to be in possession of extremist material, indicated that "each conspirator intended that the ultimate act or terrorist act Sheik Hilali said the case had the "scent of hysteria" and argued that the men should not have been found guilty when there was no evidence of the group's "true intentions". Islamic Friendship Association of Australia president Keysar Trad said yesterday that the Muslim community "detested terrorism in all its forms". "If we thought somebody in the community was plotting something, we would be the first to knock down their door and stop it happening," Mr Trad said. He said the feeling in the community was that the five men, who were convicted of conspiring to do an act in preparation for a terrorist act, had been "victimised". "It's human nature -- sometimes we all think about doing stupid things," Mr Trad said. "That doesn't necessarily mean we are always going to go through with it." It is understood that senior law professor Ben Saul, from the University of Sydney, has been invited by Sheik Hilali to host a "question and answer" session on Australia's terrorism laws at Lakemba mosque next week.

"Uncovered meat" kicks door, blames vandals

2009-03-19

AUSTRALIA'S most controversial sheik, Taj Din al-Hilali, has been caught on videotape kicking in a door at his own mosque before calling police to report an act of vandalism. The head imam at the Lakemba mosque, who caused outrage in 2006 by comparing scantily clad women to uncovered meat, was shown on a CCTV security tape kicking open the door just minutes before reporting the incident. The Nine Network's A Current Affair last night broadcast the videotape from March 9, showing the incident, which Sheik Hilali initially denied. "There is a trick in this camera. There is a trick in this film," he told ACA. See it's a lying Infidel camera But in a letter sent by Sheik Hilali's lawyers to ACA yesterday, he admitted kicking the door, saying the damage had already been done to the door before he kicked it. "What he did do was to kick open a door to the mosque that had already been damaged by others in order to gain entry to it," the letter said. Lebanese Muslim Association president Shawky Kassir said they had called the police "for a little problem, but we have fixed (it) and everything is under control". The footage shows four young men locking the door behind them at 10.28pm. Nine minutes later, Sheik Hilali checks the lock and pushes on the top of the door, bending it on its hinges. After checking the corridor, he disappears from view before rushing towards it and kicking it open at 10.46pm. It is understood the name of the suspected culprit was put forward to NSW police, but it is not known if he was interviewed by the authorities. A NSW Police media spokesperson said they started to investigate the matter but three days later were told by a mosque official that he did not wish to take the matter any further. "The matter remains under investigation. Further senior members of the local community will be consulted to discuss the incident."

'Hezbollah' sheik denies al-Hilali funding

2007-04-11

THE Lebanese political leader with alleged links to Hezbollah Sheik Taj al din al-Hilali claims he gave $10,000 has denied personally receiving the money. Bilal Shaaban said Sheik Hilali may have put him as the recipient of the cash raised in Australia for war victims in Lebanon because it was a convenient way of accounting for the money, The Australian newspaper reported. "I know nofing! Tell them, Ho-gan!" Sheik Hilali made handwritten records of the donation to Sheik Shaaban's radio station on Rydges Hotel notepaper, obtained by the newspaper. “Not one cent, not one penny went to me,” said Sheik Shaaban. How much went to pay the tab at the Rydges? Sheik Shaaban, the head of the Islamic Unity Movement in Lebanon, also said his organisation's radio station received no money from Sheik Hilali. “The radio station is licensed with the Government - it is not a pirate radio station,” he said. “We had two radio stations that got hit and as far as I know we did not receive any donations to fix them.” The Australian Federal Police is investigating $70,000 raised by the Sydney-based Lebanese Muslim Association and handed out in Lebanon by Sheik Alhilali. LMA president Tom Zreika has said allegations have been made in the Muslim community that Sheik Hilali gave some of the money to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. But Sheik Shaaban told of how he accompanied the mufti to war-torn villages in southern Lebanon. “(He was) giving them (villagers) cash payments of $200-$300 Australian dollars,” Sheik Shaaban told the paper. But he didn't get any receipts, either.

Aussi Mullah Pleads: Join Teheran in the Trenches

2007-04-08

Richard Kerbaj April 09, 2007 AUSTRALIA'S most senior Islamic cleric, Taj Din al-Hilali, called on the Muslim world to unite behind the radical Iranian regime and to serve in its "trenches" in published comments during a visit to Tehran last weekend. As Tehran was involved in a tense standoff with Western powers over the detention of 15 British naval personnel seized after they were accused of trespassing in its waters last month, the Iranian media were using Sheik Hilali's quotes in a propaganda drive. The controversial Australian mufti was quoted as saying that the global Islamic nation would never "kneel" to its enemies. In reports published in Iran on Saturday, Sheik Hilali was quoted as saying that Muslims needed to overcome their sectarian divisions that have led to much "bloodletting" in Iraq. Leaders in Australia's Muslim community have attacked the Egyptian-born cleric over his reported comments, saying he had no authority to speak on their behalf. The comments will increase the pressure on the mufti, who caused a national furore last year when he compared scantily clad women with uncovered meat. He is under investigation by police over allegations that he passed money raised by members of the Muslim community in Australia to supporters of al-Qa'ida and Hezbollah's terrorist arm during a visit to Lebanon lastyear. The Australian revealed last week the Sydney-based Lebanese Muslim Association had raised $70,000 in conjunction with other Islamic bodies following the Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon. The money was earmarked for war victims. The weekend reports of Sheik Hilali praising Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's hardline Islamic regime follow his January outburst on Egyptian television when he described Westerners as "the biggest liars". "Anglo-Saxons came to Australia in chains, while we (Muslims) paid our way and come in freedom. We are more Australian than them," he told Egyptian television. They came as phony refugees, and accepted "settlement" funds. In Tehran, the mufti was billed as a celebrity by the Islamic Republic's newsagency. "The mufti of Australia has called on the Islamic world to stand in the trenches with the Islamic Republic of Iran which possesses the might and power," Iran's al-Alam News reported on its website in Arabic on Saturday. It reported that Sheik Hilali - who was in Tehran for the three-day International Islamic Unity forum - told Alalam TV on Friday following the conference opening that he was committed to the unity of the Islamic nation. "(Islamic unity) is what has brought all participants together at this Islamic unity conference, to show the whole world that they are dedicated to the one God and dedicated to Islamic unity and the Islamic nation will not kneel in front of its enemies, never," Sheik Hilali was reported as saying. Attorney-General Philip Ruddock yesterday told The Australian he was concerned about Sheik Hilali's reported comments. "I would be concerned if any Australian was offering support and succour to Iran, particularly as it is intent on pursuing the development of the nuclear fuel cycle outside international scrutiny," Mr Ruddock said...

Sheik al-Hilali to be replaced by Muslim Spiritual leader...

2007-03-26

Australia's imams say they will replace controversial Muslim cleric Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilali later this year with a spiritual leader who is less embarrassing more sensitive to “Australian culture and values”. About 60 members of the Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) met yesterday in the southwestern Sydney suburb of Lakemba where they decided to reinstate Sheik Hilali as Australia's mufti, but only for the next three months. A spokesman for the imams, Dr Mohamad Abdalla, said the conference formed an executive board of 15 members which would consult with the wider Muslim community in Australia in order to form a Council of Fatwa. He said this council would then make a decision on the position of mufti in about three months time. “The unanimous opinion was to form a Council of Fatwa made of qualified people who will consult thoroughly with the Muslim community on this issue,” Dr Abdalla said. “They gave an interim of three months to form this new council, which will be made up of people nominated by all the various states. At the end of the three months, or once this is formulated, then the council will look at the issue of the mufti again.” Dr Abdalla said the Council of Fatwa would be looking for a number of qualities in the person they elect as Australia's next mufti. “Firstly, the person must be qualified in the Islamic legal aspects, but also one must be able to communicate in the English language, and also be aware of the social, economic, and political context of Australia,” he said. Dr Abdalla said importantly the new mufti would have to be someone who could smooth relations between Muslims and the wider Australian community. “That was a point that was made very clear in the conference, that whoever the mufti is to be must be absolutely careful not to rile the dhimmis...yet in the statements that he makes,” Dr Abdalla said. He said until a new mufti is elected, a spokesperson would handle all communications on behalf of the ANIC. “For the meanwhile there will be a spokesperson who can communicate on behalf of the Muslims in a way that is consistent with not only the objectives of the council but also consistent with the Australian culture and values,” Dr Abdalla said. “I would assume I will continue to do that until three months have lapsed and we'll see what happens then.”

Aussie sheik plans Muslim political party

2007-03-12

Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilali has defied a ban on talking to the media to predict an Islamic political party will be formed this year. Speaking through an interpreter, the mufti told ABC Radio Australian Muslims need proper political representation. Sheik Hilali, who has already established a political committee of Muslim community elders, said a political party was the next step and predicted one would be formed by the end of the year. "There's a new committee with people who have some experience in politics and most certainly in the future there must be something along those lines," he said. Last week Muslim leaders banned five Islamic clerics, including Sheik Hilali, from talking to the media after they delivered a string of "anti-Australian" messages. The letter, obtained by The Australian, demanded the imams "pause and desist" from talking to any media outlet, in particular Sydney's Arabic community radio station Voice of Islam. The Lebanese Muslim Association warned the clerics that they could lose their positions as spiritual leaders at the nation's largest mosque if they defied the ban. Spokesman Keysar Trad said Sheik Hilali's vision was for a party founded on universal human values and open to all faiths and would attempt to win elections at all levels of Australian politics. Mr Trad said the idea of forming a party had been around for some years but had not progressed past drafting a manifesto. The mufti's proposal was for a party to represent Muslim interests without excluding people of other religions, Mr Trad said. "It's not going to be a party of Muslims only and it's not going to be called the Muslim Party," he said. "The whole idea is to promote fairness across the board and specific values, such as honesty and dignity and equality. "I think it's a good idea to establish a party that can act as an alternative for people who are no longer satisfied with the major parties." The party would fight to put a stop to politicians using the Muslim community as a "political football" and work on promoting greater social harmony, Mr Trad said. It would also try to tackle long-standing legal issues affecting Australian Muslims, such as divorces and marriages not being recognised in other countries. "We've discussed this with the government on a number of instances but we've never actually found them to be able to come up with a solution," he said.

Hilali gagged by Muslim leaders

2007-03-09

FIVE of the nation's most powerful Islamic clerics, including Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilali, have been banned from talking to the media by Muslim leaders for delivering "anti-Australian" messages. The Lebanese Muslim Association has gagged the imams from Lakemba Mosque in Sydney's southwest from media commentary - especially to Arabic news outlets - because of the "immeasurable damage" they have caused the community. A letter was yesterday sent by the Lebanese Muslim Association to its five imams, including Sheik Yahya Safi - the official Australian representative to the Mufti of Lebanon - Sheik Shady Suleiman, and Sheik Hilali. The letter, obtained by The Australian, demands the imams "shut the hell up" "pause and desist" from talking to any media outlet, in particular Sydney's Arabic community radio station Voice of Islam. The imams have been told they could lose their positions as spiritual leaders at the nation's largest mosque if they defy the LMA's orders. LMA president Tom Zreika yesterday told The Australian the letter was issued to end the "perceived un-Australian viewpoints given by some clerics". "One of the big issues is the double-speak by the various imams," Mr Zreika said. He added that the messages some clerics delivered in Arabic contradicted comments given in English while talking to the mainstream media. Is that a fact? Golly, that's never happened elsewhere in the Islamic world. "They go on to the Voice of Islam and talk about something which really isn't in accordance with our views as Australians. "(While) most of our clerics are selected on the basis that they have Australian values and Australian characteristics ... some of them haven't (lived) up to that." The LMA's hardline approach towards silencing its clerics comes after the furore sparked by Sheik Hilali last year, following revelations in The Australian last month that the mufti was banned from delivering sermons at Lakemba Mosque. Sheik Hilali caused national and international uproar last October when The Australian uncovered a sermon in which he compared women to "uncovered meat" and joked about Sydney's infamous gang rapes. The cleric, who has been the nominal head of Australia's Muslim community for years, further compounded the controversy by subsequently appearing on Egyptian television to dismiss the furore over his insults to women and make disparaging remarks about Australia's convict beginnings. Sheik Shadi yesterday told The Australian that he supported the LMA's decision, saying it was in the best interests of the Muslim and wider community.

Leaders plan to dump Hilali

2007-02-07

A GOLDEN handshake - including a weekly stipend and rent-free accommodation - is being drawn up for Muslim cleric Taj al-Din al-Hilali as powerful community leaders head a push to oust the controversial imam. Sheik Hilali has been officially banned from delivering sermons, and his title as mufti of Australia is expected to be up for grabs when the nation's imams meet in coming weeks to discuss a potential successor. The future of the 66-year-old's spiritual position at Lakemba Mosque in western Sydney was thrashed out last week by more than 50 Sydney-based Muslim leaders during a secret meeting. The talks at the Lakemba Mosque last Thursday came after the Lebanese Muslim Association indefinitely banned Sheik Hilali - whose community support base continues to nosedive - from delivering sermons at the mosque following his return from Egypt last month. It is understood that Sheik Hilali, who came under fire from community leaders and politicians for comparing women to uncovered meat, initially resisted the ban before agreeing to abandon the pulpit on the basis of "mutual understanding" between him and the LMA executives. Lebanese Islamic leader Mustafa Hamed said the LMA, along with 10 Sydney-based Muslim community organisations present at the secret meeting, were negotiating a "long-service" package for the Sheik. Under the proposed package, the LMA would allow the cleric to continue living in a house next door to Lakemba mosque, which is owned by the organisation. It is also understood the golden handshake would include an indefinite weekly stipend of several hundred dollars. Mr Hamed, president of the Sydney-based community association Bhanin El Minieh, said yesterday that Sheik Hilali needed to accept that his position as Lakemba Mosque's spiritual head would be better served by someone less controversial. "If I didn't believe that it was in the best interest of the community, that the damage he's done is enough, I wouldn't say that he should leave," said Mr Hamed in an interview conducted in Arabic. "We are prepared to pay his long-service leave ... this is being currently negotiated in the community, among councils." Sheik Hilali, returning to his home mosque shortly before 7pm (AEDT) yesterday, at first refused to comment and then said there were no problems between him and the LMA. "Everything is all right," he said. "There is no news. Everything is all right. I am all right with the Lakemba ... everything is the same." Last October, The Australian exposed Sheik Hilali's inflammatory sermon, in which he suggested that rape victims who did not wear Islamic headdress were as much to blame as their attackers. And last month the cleric ridiculed Australia on Egyptian television while dismissing the furore over his insults to women. He said Westerners were "liars and oppressors" who had less right to live in Australia than Muslims. Mr Hamed said Sheik Hilali had both benefited and damaged the community since his arrival in Australia 25 years ago. "My opinion is that in his 25 years here, he has made mistakes and made good," Mr Hamed said. "But I think it's time for him to rest and leave a place for the new generation to work for the new generation." LMA president Tom Zreika yesterday said that Sheik Hilali needed to stop playing politics if the Muslim community was to recover from the damage his past remarks had caused. "He's a very useful and astute religious theologian, but we ask him to keep out of politics," Mr Zreika said. He said Sheik Hilali "unfairly implicated" the LMA every time the cleric strayed into the political arena because the organisation was in charge of Lakemba Mosque. "The community as a whole stands to lose more than they would gain by him pursuing this political dialogue," he said. The Australian National Imams Council is expected to meet by April to thrash out the nature of the mufti position. It is understood that council members have told Sheik Hilali, who has held the title since 1989, that they cannot guarantee his position.

Sheik Hilali returns for Australia Day, plans to run in state elections

2007-01-25

SHEIK Taj al-Din al-Hilali today denied that he was forced to sneak back into the country when he arrived in Sydney last night - just in time for Australia Day. The sheik avoided waiting media at the airport yesterday, and was ushered through a VIP exit after his plane touched down. He's a VIP? Gotta keep your cat food covered, or else the media flies will swarm...and who can blame the media flies? It's only their nature, after all. Meow. Media reports said police protection was waiting for him, and one airport worker said the mufti was accompanied by two quarantine officers as he left the building and had no baggage with him. But the mufti's spokesman, Keysar Trad, today said he had simply followed the advice of uniformed officers who were at the airport. "I don't believe he snuck in," he said. "I spoke to him last night. He said it was a long, tiring trip and he had been advised by officers at the airport on the best way to come out, via discreet exits. The mufti took their advice." Mr Trad said Sheik Hilali, who was travelling with his family, would conduct Friday prayers at the Lakemba mosque in southwest Sydney tomorrow. "Health permitting, that's what's likely to happen. He's been away for three months and everyone wants to hear his voice, to bask in his spirituality, as well as to receive comments on the present situation." During his absence, Sheik Hilali sparked outrage in Australia with comments in an interview on Egyptian TV. He called Westerners liars and said that Muslims were more entitled to live in Australia than the descendents of Anglo-Saxons sent here as convicts. The comments followed the stir he caused last year when he compared immodestly dressed women to "uncovered meat". Senior politicians from both the Labor and Liberal parties reacted to the latest outrage by urging him to stay away from Australia if he didn't like it. The mufti has also made headlines in recent days over suggestions he would challenge Premier Morris Iemma for the Lakemba seat in the New South Wales state election. A spokesman later clarified that the plan was to recruit and endorse Muslim candidates in at least three western Sydney seats in the NSW Parliament, though Mr Iemma said he was keen to take on Sheik Hilali himself. The mufti's plan was also described by one Islamic leader as "about as helpful as Pauline Hanson getting back into politics". Despite the controversy he generates, Sheik Hilali regularly says that he loves Australia. Mr Trad said he was keen to address national issues now he was back in the country. The mufti planned to speak on the water crisis and a wide range of issues, he said. "It's a big issue for us. We 'll do what we do best, pray for the water shortage to be alleviated." Mr Trad also said Sheik Hilali hoped that politicians would abandon their "Islamophobic platform" for Australia Day. "I wish that politicians would take advantage of Australia Day to reaffirm the rights of every Australian citizen. But that's a big call for politicians, especially."

Sheik "catfood" Hilali praises Iraq Hard Boyz

2006-10-30

TAJ Din al-Hilali has praised militant jihadists in Iraq and Afghanistan, calling them men of the highest order for fighting against coalition forces - which include Australian soldiers - to "liberate" their homelands. In an interview on Arabic radio two weeks ago, the imam based at Sydney's Lakemba mosque said he was opposed to terror attacks in Madrid, London and New York but strongly endorsed fighters in the Palestinian territories, Iraq and Afghanistan. In the interview, Sheik Hilali pays tribute to Sayyid Qutb, the ideologue of the Muslim Brotherhood and intellectual mentor of Osama bin Laden and al-Qa'ida. "Jihad of the liberator of Palestine, that's the greatest and cleanest and highest ... jihad which lifts our heads in pride in south Lebanon," Sheik Hilali says in the October 17 interview. He tells broadcaster Abrahim Zoabi that he endorses jihad for liberation. "We are talking about ... jihad of liberating our land, jihad of Muslim Afghanis in their land - that's jihad. "Jihad of Iraqi Muslims is jihad, but not when Sunnis and Shias are killing each other - that's not jihad." The revelation comes as a neighbouring cleric from Sydney's Bankstown accused Sheik Hilali of supporting military Islamic jihad against the West and called on imams from around the country to band together to force the mufti to step down. Sheik Ibrahim El-Shafie said yesterday Sheik Hilali was a follower of the Egyptian Islamic scholar Qutb, one of the founding fathers of modern jihad, whose teachings are used by al-Qa'ida and Jemaah Islamiah.

Holocaust claims a Zionist lie: mufti

2006-07-14

THE nation's Islamic leader, Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, has dismissed the Holocaust as a "Zionist lie" in a series of fiery sermons in which he also lashed out at the West and the US-led occupation of Iraq. And Sheik Hilali -- the Mufti of Australia and a member of John Howard's Muslim Community Reference Group -- also accuses the Government of being dishonest for claiming the anti-terrorism laws were not designed specifically for Muslims. "These laws are tailored to target us precisely," he said in a sermon recorded at Sydney's Lakemba Mosque in November - one of a number of recordings The Weekend Australian has of Sheik Hilali's religious addresses delivered in Arabic over the past eight months. Revelations that the nation's most senior Islamic cleric has been openly preaching extreme messages to his mainstream followers will be a major setback for the Howard Government. Sheik Hilali is a senior member of the Prime Minister's Muslim advisory board. Parliamentary Secretary for Multicultural Affairs Andrew Robb will tomorrow unveil details of federal funding for national projects to help address problems within the Islamic community. Mr Robb, who oversees the advisory group, told The Weekend Australian Sheik Hilali's reported comments were "inflammatory and unacceptable". Last night, the mufti stood by his sermons: "We are always saddened and always remember with great sorrow what Nazism did to the Jewish people," he said in a statement. However, we do not wish to see these crimes repeated by other hands. Some who see themselves as supporters of Israel do abuse the Holocaust whenever Israel is engaged in its indefensible wars and crimes against humanity. People, myself included, are within their legitimate right to question the morality of exploiting the memory of the Holocaust."

Mufti told 'line up for the dole'

2006-07-05

AUSTRALIA'S Muslim spiritual leader, Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, has lost his $40,000 cleric's allowance and been told to apply for the dole because the bitterly divided national Islamic council can no longer pay him. The high-profile sheik has been instructed to "contact your local Centrelink office" by the nation's peak Muslim body, the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, which is locked in a legal dispute over its leadership and has been denied access to its bank accounts. "The Westpac Bank has informed us that we will not be able to draw any funds from the bank," AFIC's new president, Rahim Ghauri, told the mufti in a letter obtained by The Australian. "Due to this restriction we have to curtail or suspend our staff salaries." AFIC, which derives most of its income from rent on land that houses Muslim schools across the country, and the certification of halal food, is understood to have paid the salaries of about 10 imams in the country. But Westpac froze the organisation's accounts last month after The Australian revealed the ethnic brawling that unfolded following the council's April elections, when a group of Pakistanis took control of the organisation, which had for years been controlled by Fijian Indians. The Sydney-based Sheik Hilali was outraged by the instruction and sent a searing letter to the council's president. "I would prefer to die 100 times over than to stand in line seeking welfare payments from Centrelink," he says in the letter, dated June 27. "Does your dignity or Islamic manners permit you to direct such an insult to a spiritual leader who had spent his life in the service of the faith? "You are very much mistaken if you believe that you can insult me, my dignity will not accept for me to be held hostage to the mercy of AFIC or anyone else for that matter." The Egyptian-born cleric was receiving fortnightly payments from AFIC for his religious duties as Mufti - the nation's most senior imam - since his appointment to the position by the national council in 1989. The nation's 150 imams earn their living through community donations generally given to them when they officiate at weddings and funerals. Some also receive money from other Islamic societies. But the dispute comes as AFIC, the Islamic umbrella body, is in the middle of a fierce legal battle with members of the rebel executive board attempting to win the control of the organisation. It is understood the Mufti favours the rebel board over the new regime. The Australian understands that the new Pakistani-led AFIC executive has since redirected the council's earnings to a Commonwealth Bank account. But the letter from Mr Ghauri to Sheik Hilali, dated June 22, says: "Our records indicate that you have been on AFIC's payroll and your fortnightly salary is due on 30 June, 2006. "In view of our inability to draw funds from our accounts we shall not be able to transfer the money into your account on that day and furthermore, until such ... restrictions are removed from our accounts. "You may wish to contact your local Centrelink office to seek interim benefit ... However, any amounts received from Centrelink, until your payments from AFIC are reinstated, will be deducted from the accrued amount of salary that you will receive from AFIC subsequently."
