Ace of Spades has a bold proposal that will prevent a feared backlash against Muslims. The remarks of the Australian mufti who suggested, in a most enlightened, sensitive, caring, compassionate and understanding way, that pig kaffir women who dare walk on Australian streets unveiled, are subject to rape. Why? Because highly advanced, moral, enlightened, sensitive, caring, compassionate Muslim men will be unable to contain themselves. They might be distracted from their Holy, sacred and peaceful thoughts, and thus be forced to rape white women.

Says Ace:

I have a three point plan…. to avoid all this “backlash.”

1) Stop killing us

2) Stop raping us

3) Stop rioting and destroying vehicles, businesses, and homes

I realize that’s asking an awful lot, but I want to do anything possible to avoid anti-Muslim backlash– even if that includes the unprecented call for an end to jihadi-brigandism.

Gaius usually is right- and as usual, he’s got the goods.

UPDATE:

Gaius has updated the Dixie Chicks story. As he says, Played Like A Cheap Violin.

Now that Australian mufti Taj Din al Hilali has made it clear he will not retract his remarks, referring to non veiled kuffir women as ‘uncovered meat,’ (he now claims he is a ‘victim’ and ‘misunderstood’), it occurred to us that perhaps we could learn much from the esteemed and learned mufti.

Inasmuch as the ‘enlightened’ leader of Sydney’s Lakemba mosque has the loyalty and support (according to the report, he’s being treated like a ‘rock star’) of his flock, perhaps it is we that really do not understand that the language used by the mufti really is appropriate.

In fact, perhaps the mufti and those who support him and his kind of ideology (by no means all of Australia’s Muslims) ought to come to understand the effects of the his language and ideologies, and be held accountable.

It is with that in mind that we ought to ponder and consider the issues of terrorism and the Palestinians, using language and ideas the mufti finds so appropriate (the following is derived from published accounts if the mufti’s own remarks, we noted in The mufti loves women in the same measure he loves Jews”):

“The Islamic savagery in Palestine and elsewhere, is nothing more than the actions and behavior of animals. The so called resistance is the work of dysfunctional wild beasts that see themselves leading herds of cattle into battle, only to rejoice and take pride in the killing of innocents. While there are international conventions to protect civilians, they are disregarded by these beasts and animals, because they believe they are exempt from civilized behavior. Only animals and beasts would hide behind children as they fired weapons. Only animals and beats would place anti aircraft weapons on hospitals and school roofs. Only animals and sub human beasts would educate their children in the ways of hate and murder and only animals and beasts would have so called ‘religious leaders’ call for the rape and subjugation of women and children, and refer to that as a religious and ‘obligatory.’ These so called ‘monotheists’ are really nothing more than a so called ‘people’ that for last one thousand years have ruined and destroyed everything they have touched. They have contributed nothing but death, destruction and failure. That shouldn’t be surprising- after all, what can you expect from wild beasts and animals?

Let’s just listen to what the beasts and animals have to say. The more radical among them want to establish a Council of Wild Beasts. They refer to that as a Caliphate, but we know what that means. As in George Orwell’s 1984, they are the sons of pigs that want to dominate civilized man, and the world into a barnyard.

The Muslims struggle with humanity is as old as history itself; the present continuing struggle with the Christian nation is a natural continuation of the Muslims enmity towards the human race as a whole.”

Islam controls the world by…secret movements as the destructive doctrines and groups, such as OPEC and Baathism and by influencing civilized society with tainted leftist ideologies, Muslim racist and nationalistic doctrines.

The Muslims try to control the world through sex, letting loose sexual perversion and rape on non Muslim women. These animals promote espionage and treason, and they use the threat of economic boycotts on civilized nations. The civilized world will support Israel against the cancer that are the dysfunctional Palestinians and their wild beast leaders We will ask God “who has gathered the Jews in Israel …to liberate the land from the Palestinians under a pure, clean, pious Jewish and Christian banner”

“To be clear, we want to ask our readers not to take these remarks out of context. They are in no way meant to be offensive to Muslims. We want to reiterate that We hold Muslims and Palestinians in the highest regard.”

SC&A want to remind our readers that this post was directly inspired by the very words and ideas publicly espoused, endorsed and preached by Australian mufti Taj Din al Hilali.

We also believe that if those who preached these ideas using the above language, were to be held directly accountable for their filth, the world would be a lot cleaner place.

Yesterday, Fausta wrote Uncovered Meat, a post in which she discussed the remarks make by an Australian mufti that blamed unveiled non Muslim women for their own rapes and assaults.

We discussed Fausta’s post and added our won remarks in Walking In Traffic. We noted the connection between the pretend religion of radical Islam and the left:

Radical Islam and the Left also stifle what real religion encourages.

Real religion encourage and demands that we upset the status quo and challenge the current state of affairs. In our response, we see new horizons. As we once noted, ‘Like the School of Paris painters at the beginning of the 20th century that forced us to look at the world in a way that wasn’t necessarily representational, religious thinkers provide the chaos we need to grow. God may be Mozart and Rembrandt, but He is no less Picasso and Coltrane.’

Radical Muslims and the Left cannot abide that kind of growth and that kind of challenge. They cannot accept that God made room for all kinds of believers and non believers. They cannot accept that free will no longer had any fine print attached to it.

The Australian mufti has ‘apologized’- and is being defended by his daughter and many in his flock. The Islamic Friendship Council of Australia says that “…all his good work has been forgotten in the rush to defend him.”

As is always the case, it he who is the victim- and we ought to be ashamed of ourselves and as his daughter notes, ‘leave him alone.’ His remarks were ‘misinterpreted and misunderstood.’

Of course they were.

Just like his remarks on the Holocaust. The Australian reported:

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…

…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.

Despite his civilized ‘clarification’ he also had the following to say:

In a February sermon, Sheik Hilali attacked the Western press for being afraid to admit that the Holocaust was “a ploy made by the Zionists”.

He also trivialised the number of Jews killed by the Nazis.

“What’s that six million all about? Is there six million?”, said the Egyptian-born cleric, before calling on Muslims worldwide to boycott Danish goods over the publication of cartoons that offended Muslims for their depiction of the prophet Mohammed.

“The West say we have freedom and freedom of speech,” he told thousands of his followers on February 3. “But journalism stops and shuts up when it discusses the burning of the Jews – the Holocaust — the Zionist lie and the industry that the West deals in.”

In another Friday sermon, delivered two weeks ago at Lakemba Mosque – titled The Zionists Murder Palestinians and the World Watches and the Muslims Are Silent – he called the US the breeders of oppression and labelled Israel a “cancer that is planted in the heart of the Ummah (Muslim community)”.

It isn’t hard to understand why the mufti is so often ‘misunderstood.’ Another report by The Australian noted that

A senior Liberal MP today urged the Federal Government to consider action against the leader of Australia’s Muslims for praising Islamic suicide bombers and calling for a holy war against Israel.

The Mufti of Australia, Sheik Taj Aldin Alhilali, made the comments in recent sermons and interviews in Lebanon, according to an internet dispatch by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI)…

But a spokesman for the Sydney-based Mufti said he had been taken out of context…

We are proud of the Islamic resistance in Palestine, Lebanon, Kashmir…,” Sheik Alhilali is reported to have said.

We support the resistance and support, with all our might, the martyrdom operations carried out by the Palestinian liberation movements, operations that are a legitimate act against the cruel occupation, according to all international norms and conventions.”

The Mufti is also reported to have called in a sermon in Sidon for a jihad, or holy war, against Israel, adding: “The war waged by the US and Israel against the Muslims is a cruel war aimed at annihilating the (Islamic) nation.”

The Mufti’s spokesman in Sydney, Keysar Trad, said MEMRI had taken the Muslim leader out of context.

The Mufti is a proponent of peace and peaceful solutions to any conflict,” he told ABC radio.

I spoke to him today and he assured me that the context in which he made his message was not in the way that it was reported by these people.

Yes, ‘those people‘ deliberately misinterpreted his desire for peace,’with that ‘cancer in heart of the ummah,’ to be brought about with ‘all our might’ and ‘martrdom operations.’

The mufti also referred to the events of 9/11 as ‘God’s work.’ From the Sydney Morning Herald:

The powerful leader of Australia’s 300,000 Muslims, Sheik Taj el-Din Al Hilaly, has praised the September 11 terrorist attacks as “God’s work”…

Sheik Al Hilaly, who is based at the Lakemba mosque, last week vehemently denied that he called for a jihad against Israel in one of his sermons. But a translation of a sermon, delivered at the Sidon mosque in Lebanon and obtained by The Sun-Herald, is littered with references to Arab martyrs and Americans being punished by God.

Sheik Al Hilaly spoke of an “Islamic revolution”, and told his audience not to be surprised if one day a muezzin called out “Allah is Great!” from the “top of the White House”…

“September 11 is God’s work against oppressors,” he said. “Some of the things that happen in the world cannot be explained; a civilian airplane whose secrets cannot be explained, if we ask its pilot who reached his objective without error: ‘Who led your steps?’

“Or if we ask the giant that fell: ‘Who humiliated you?’ Or if we ask the president: ‘Who made you cry?’ God is the answer.”

Declaring there was a “war on infidels” around the world, the Mufti praised the boy who, “despite his mother’s objections”, went to war to become a martyr…

Of course, his remarks were ‘misunderstood.’

The Australian Herald Sun reported as follows:

We should be grateful Australia’s most senior Islamic cleric has trekked to Baghdad to save the life of Australian hostage Douglas Wood.

But the Mufti of Australia, Sheik Taj El-Din El-Hilaly, has at the same time shown — again — that not all the Muslim extremists who threaten us are in Iraq.

Surely now even his closest supporters see that this man of hate should no longer represent our Muslims.

Hilaly on the weekend filmed an appeal in Arabic for Wood’s kidnappers to spare the life of the 63-year-old engineer, who had been bashed, shaved bald, and threatened with execution if coalition forces were not pulled out of Iraq.

Hilaly is a Sunni extremist, like the men believed to hold Wood, and in his appeal, broadcast in Iraq, he told them: “We value your jihad and your efforts.”

But, he added: “We call upon you to do something for the sake of our community and all Australian society, which does not support (Prime Minister John) Howard’s pro-American policies. You know the Australian forces in Iraq are protected by American forces and don’t do anything — it’s all politics.”

I can think of only one plausible way to read this — our senior Islamic cleric values the terrorists who kill and kidnap countless victims, most of them Iraqis. And he wants Wood freed because killing him won’t help Muslims here, most Australians already think Howard is a toady, and the real enemy is America.

Of course, excuses were immediately made for the Mufti, as they always are when he is discovered vilifying Jews or Americans, or praising suicide bombers and terrorists…

The Herald Sun also noted

Another member of Howard’s group, Sheik Taj Al-Din Al-Hilali, the Mufti of Australia, met Hezbollah’s leader in Lebanon two years again, and enthused: “I praised it and its sacrifice. Hezbollah has become a model for all the mujahideen in the world.”

But, how Howard ever came to select Hilali as a “moderate” adviser in the first place is a mystery, given he has vilified Jews, praised suicide bombers as “heroes” and called the September 11 attacks “God’s work against oppressors”.

‘In 1988 he gave a speech at Sydney University in which he extended the hand of brotherly love to the Jewish people. Not. Some snippets of the speech:

    ‘Heroic children of the intifada…’‘The Jews struggle with humanity is as old as history itself; the present continuing struggle with the Islam nation is a natural continuation of the Jews enmity towards the human race as a whole.”” Judaism controls the world by…secret movements as the destructive doctrines and groups, such as communism, libertinism, Free Masons, Baha’ism, the Rotary clubs, the nationalistic and racist doctrines.”“The Jews try to control the world through sex, then sexual perversion, then the promotion of espionage, traitory, and economic hording.”“The most significant results has been the intifada of the stone children in the occupied land which intifada has thrown the Israeli and international plans into disarray…”“I ask Allah Almighty who has gathered here us here…to liberate Palestine under a pure, clean, pious Islamic banner”

No word from his daughter or defenders on how he was ‘misunderstood.’

The mufti loves women in the same measure he loves Jews.

In the religious address on adultery to about 500 worshippers in Sydney last month, Sheik Hilali said: “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?

“The uncovered meat is the problem.”

The sheik then said: “If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred.”

He said women were “weapons” used by “Satan” to control men.

“It is said in the state of zina (adultery), the responsibility falls 90 per cent of the time on the woman. Why? Because she possesses the weapon of enticement (igraa).”

Nice man, don’t you think?
