From my Penalities for "mere words".... cont'd posting on July 19th is the following quote from Australia's Islamic cleric, Sheik Mohammed Omran.
"Australia is a free country and should allow all books to be sold here," Sheik Omran said. He claimed there were no Islamic clerics in Australia guilty of inciting hatred.
"We do not have clerics who incite hatred here so there is no point raising the issue of deporting clerics who incite hatred because such clerics do not exist in Australia."
It's now 4 days later, and here we are - looking at today's Sun-Herald story on jihadist recruitment in Sydney.
The group, Hizb ut-Tahrir, which describes suicide bombers as martyrs and openly advocates the destruction of Western ideals, held its second meeting behind closed doors in western Sydney on Friday night, The Sun-Herald can reveal.
The British Home Office and Pakistan's intelligence agencies are investigating the group's links to Shehzad Tanweer, 22, one of the four suicide bombers who killed 56 people in London two weeks ago.
Sydney's mainstream Islamic community is understood to have warned the group, also known as the Party of Islamic Liberation, to stop distributing material near local mosques in an effort to recruit young Muslims to its cause.
One leaflet declares "the war on Islam is reignited" and says the London bombings are being used to "pressure the Muslims into blinding submission in the west".
Local Hizb ut-Tahrir leader Wassim Doureihi confirmed that a meeting of up to 30 new members had taken place in Greenacre on Friday night.
Doesn't exist indeed. I said then that Sheik Omran's words nailed him as one who sympathizes with terrorists. Perhaps, in light of either his outright lie, or his brazen ignorance, he should be one of the first the Muslim community boots out of the country, or relieves of his position of influence.
